Growing hair follicles have high mitochondrial activity and ROS in specific regions, aiding hair formation.
research Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry-Based In Vitro Metabolic Profiling Reveals Altered Enzyme Expressions in Eicosanoid Metabolism
The method reliably profiles eicosanoids and shows epitestosterone reduces their levels, similar to common anti-inflammatory drugs.
research Rat steroid 5α-reductase kinetic characteristics: Extreme pH-dependency of the type II isozyme in prostate and epididymis homogenates
The activity of a specific rat enzyme in the prostate and epididymis is highly dependent on the acidity level.
research Genetic, hormonal and metabolic aspects of PCOS: an update
The document concludes that insulin resistance is key in PCOS development and early treatment is crucial to prevent complications.
research Specific dermatologic features of the polycystic ovary syndrome and its association with biochemical markers of the metabolic syndrome and hyperandrogenism
Hirsutism is a strong sign of high male hormones and metabolic problems in women with PCOS, but acne and hair loss are not.
research Clinical, metabolic, and endocrine parameters in response to metformin and lifestyle intervention in women with polycystic ovary syndrome: A randomized, double-blind, and placebo control trial
Metformin combined with lifestyle changes improves insulin resistance and reduces testosterone levels in women with PCOS more than lifestyle changes alone.
research Elevated serum chromogranin A levels are independently associated with metabolic and inflammatory disturbances in polycystic ovary syndrome
High chromogranin A levels are linked to obesity and inflammation in polycystic ovary syndrome.
research Lichen planus and dyslipidemia: a systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies
People with lichen planus are more likely to have dyslipidemia, especially higher triglyceride levels.
research Clinical, hormonal and metabolic parameters in women with PCOS with different combined oral contraceptives (containing chlormadinone acetate versus drospirenone)
Both types of oral contraceptives improved symptoms and hormone levels in women with PCOS.
research Total testosterone to dihydrotestosterone ratio assessed by LC-MS/MS predicts a worse metabolic profile not only in PCOS patients
A higher testosterone to dihydrotestosterone ratio may indicate worse metabolic health in women.
research Insulin resistance and β-cell dysfunction and the relationship with cardio-metabolic disorders among women with polycystic ovary syndrome
Women with PCOS have more insulin resistance and are more likely to have heart-related health issues, with insulin resistance being a bigger factor than β-cell problems.
research Glycolytic Dysfunction in Granulosa Cells and Its Contribution to Metabolic Dysfunction in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Targeting glycolysis may help treat PCOS by improving insulin sensitivity and ovarian function.
research Vitamin D, Lipid Metabolism and Prostate Cancer
Vitamin D may help regulate cholesterol and influence prostate cancer development.
research Relación entre los síntomas del tracto urinario bajo y las características anatómicas de la próstata en pacientes con obesidad y obesidad grave
Obesity is linked to more severe lower urinary tract symptoms.
research Effects of photobiomodulation therapy for androgenic alopecia: A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
Photobiomodulation therapy significantly increases hair density and growth for androgenic alopecia, but more research is needed to confirm safety.
research Type 2 Diabetes, Metabolic Syndrome and Lipid Metabolism
Type 2 diabetes in youth is increasing, with high treatment failure rates and more severe than Type 1; certain drugs can lower lipid levels effectively with varying side effects, and apples may benefit heart health like statins but with fewer side effects.
research Albendazole treatment of echinococcosis in humans: Effects on microsomal metabolism and drug tolerance
Albendazole treatment for echinococcosis can cause serious side effects and requires close monitoring.
research Synthesis, physical characteristics, and biocompatibility test of chitosan-alginate-fucoidan scaffold as an alternative material for alveolar bone substitution
The scaffold could effectively replace traditional methods for bone regeneration in dental applications.
research Lysocellin, a metabolite of the novel drug ‘alopestatin’, induces G1 arrest and prevents cytotoxicity induced by etoposide
Lysocellin helps stop cell damage from etoposide and may prevent hair loss.
research The role of R-spondins and their receptors in bone metabolism
R-spondins and their receptors help increase bone growth and may be used to treat bone loss diseases.
research Prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in Slovak women with polycystic ovary syndrome and its relation to metabolic and reproductive abnormalities
Vitamin D deficiency is common in women with PCOS and linked to some metabolic problems, but not the main cause of their metabolic issues.
