Women with PCOS have more body fat and thicker fat layers in certain abdominal areas than women without PCOS.
research Central hair loss in African American women: Incidence and potential risk factors
Some African American women's central scalp hair loss is linked to genetics and past fungal scalp infections, with more research needed on other causes.
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 Evidence for Masculinization of Adipokine Gene Expression in Visceral and Subcutaneous Adipose Tissue of Obese Women With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
Obese women with PCOS show a male-like pattern in certain fat tissue gene expressions.
research Differential Expression of miR-93 and miR-21 in Granulosa Cells and Follicular Fluid of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Associating with Different Phenotypes
The study found that certain microRNAs are higher in the cells and lower in the fluid of women with a specific type of polycystic ovary syndrome, and one microRNA could potentially help diagnose the condition.
research Common variants in the sex hormone-binding globulin gene (SHBG) and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in Mediterranean women
Certain genetic variations in the SHBG gene are linked to an increased or decreased risk of PCOS in Mediterranean women.
research Is androgenetic alopecia a risk for atherosclerosis?

research Is acne a sign of androgen excess disorder or not?
Acne is an important sign of androgen excess disorders in women.
research Ovarian morphology and prevalence of polycystic ovary syndrome in reproductive aged women with or without mild acne
Women with mild acne are more likely to have polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) than those without acne.
research Insulin sensitivity, androgens and isotretinoin therapy in women with severe acne
Isotretinoin improves severe acne without changing androgen or insulin levels but may increase body weight and triglycerides.
research Study on the zona pellucida 4 (ZP4) gene sequence and its expression in the ovaries of patients with polycystic ovary syndrome
The research suggests that the ZP4 gene is linked to egg development in women with PCOS but requires more study to understand its role in infertility.
research A comparison between finasteride, flutamide, and finasteride plus flutamide combination in the treatment of hirsutism
Flutamide works better than finasteride for hirsutism, and combining both is slightly better but not much.
research A comparative study of cutaneous manifestations of hyperandrogenism in obese and non-obese Taiwanese women
Obese women had more testosterone and less acne, but similar hair growth compared to non-obese women.
research Multimodal Recruitment to Study Ovulation and Menstruation Health: Internet-Based Survey Pilot Study
Internet and community fair recruitment effectively gathered a diverse group for a menstrual health survey.
research Male-pattern baldness and incident coronary heart disease and risk factors in the Heinz Nixdorf Recall Study
