Higher levels of unbound testosterone are linked to increased insulin resistance, especially in women with polycystic ovary syndrome.
research A prospective, randomized trial comparing flutamide (250 mg/d) and finasteride (5 mg/d) in the treatment of hirsutism
Flutamide reduces hair growth better but has more side effects.
research An overview of JAK/STAT pathways and JAK inhibition in alopecia areata
Blocking JAK/STAT pathways can help treat hair loss from alopecia areata.

research Does a male polycystic ovarian syndrome equivalent exist?
Early onset baldness in men may indicate a condition similar to PCOS, linked to heart disease, diabetes, and prostate issues.
research Frontiers in the (Neuro-)endocrine Controls of Hair Growth
Hair growth and health are influenced by stress and hormones.
research Effects of finasteride, a 5 alpha-reductase inhibitor, on circulating androgens and gonadotropin secretion in hirsute women.
Finasteride reduces dihydrotestosterone, increases testosterone, and may treat hirsutism in women.
research Bone Mineral Density is Unaltered in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Women with PCOS have similar bone density to healthy women, but those who are obese have higher bone density at some body sites.
research Variations in alanine aminotransferase levels within the normal range predict metabolic and androgenic phenotypes in women of reproductive age
Normal-range ALT levels can indicate metabolic and hormonal imbalances in young women.
research Prostate specific antigen (PSA) in diagnosis of polycystic ovarian syndrome – a new insight
PSA levels are higher in women with PCOS, but FAI is a more accurate marker for diagnosis.
research Repigmentation of leukoderma in a piebald patient associated with a novel c-KIT gene mutation, G592E, of the tyrosine kinase domain
A new gene mutation may allow some piebaldism patients to regain skin color in white patches.
research Effects of Hura crepitans and Its Active Ingredient, Daphne Factor F3, on Dihydrotestosterone-Induced Neurotrophin-4 Activation and Hair Retardation
Hura crepitans and its compound daphne factor F3 may help treat hair loss by blocking a specific hair growth inhibitor.
research GH-IGF-I axis in non-obese women with functional hyperandrogenism
The GH-IGF-I axis is likely involved in the hormonal imbalances seen in non-obese women with functional hyperandrogenism.
research Mister XX
Most 46XX CAH patients have female identity, but a few identify as male and may need treatment and surgery.
research Use of oral contraceptives in the management of acne
Birth control pills with low-dose estrogen and antiandrogenic progestins can effectively treat acne.
research Association study between the -866G/A polymorphism in the promoter of uncoupling protein-2 gene and polycystic ovary syndrome
The -866G/A polymorphism in the UCP2 gene is not linked to polycystic ovary syndrome.
research Women with clinically significant hirsutism always have detectable endocrinological abnormalities
All women with significant unwanted hair growth have hormonal imbalances, often from polycystic ovary syndrome.
research Differential plasma proteome analysis reveals key proteins associated with insulin resistance in acne vulgaris patients
C4BPA protein may link acne severity and insulin resistance.

Reproductive hormones play a crucial role in breast cancer development and treatment challenges.
research Women with clinically significant hirsutism always have detectable endocrinological abnormalities
Most women with excessive hair growth have a hormonal cause.
research Menstrual Irregularity in Women with Acromegaly
Women with acromegaly often have irregular periods due to hormone imbalances and growth hormone effects.
research Bone mineral density in hyperandrogenic amenorrhoea
Women with hyperandrogenic amenorrhea have similar bone density to healthy women but lower than androgenized women without amenorrhea, and high DHEAS levels might affect bone density.
research Diagnosis and Treatment of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: An Endocrine Society Clinical Practice Guideline

research Pathogenesis and causes of hirsutism
Hirsutism is mainly caused by high androgen levels or sensitivity, with PCOS being the most common cause.
research EARLY CARDIAC DAMAGE FOLLOWING SINGLE AND COMBINED EXPOSURE TO LITHIUM CARBONATE AND LEAD ACETATE IN RATS: A TOXICOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE
Lithium carbonate and lead acetate together harm the heart more than individually.
research Revised 2003 consensus on diagnostic criteria and long-term health risks related to polycystic ovary syndrome
