Certain genetic variations in OCT1 may improve insulin sensitivity with metformin in women with PCOS.
research The effect of minocycline on the metabolism of androgens by human oral periosteal fibroblasts and its inhibition by finasteride
Minocycline may cause hair loss by increasing DHT levels, but finasteride can help counteract this effect.
research Inhibition of 5α-reductase alters pregnane metabolism in the late pregnant mare
Inhibiting 5α-reductase increases progesterone levels in late pregnant mares.
research Effects of chronic inhibition of Testosterone metabolism on cardiac remodeling after ischemia/reperfusion-induced myocardial damage in gonadectomized rats

TRM21 helps control flavonoid production and root hair growth in Arabidopsis thaliana.
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 Comparison of metformin and N-acetylcysteine on metabolic parameters in women with polycystic ovarian syndrome
N-acetylcysteine was more effective and had fewer side effects than metformin for improving insulin resistance in women with PCOS.
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 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 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 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 Modification of testosterone levels with Piptadeniastrum africanum and Cordia plathytyrsa may influence metabolic parameters in Wistar rats
Piptadeniastrum africanum and Cordia plathytyrsa can increase testosterone without major metabolic changes, but may affect triglycerides and creatinine.
research Melatonin: A Cutaneous Perspective on its Production, Metabolism, and Functions
Melatonin may benefit skin health and could be a promising treatment in dermatology.
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.
research Effects of Oral Contraceptives Containing Desogestrel and Drospirenone on Clinical, Hormonal, and Metabolic Parameters of the Patients with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: A Randomized Clinical Trial
Oral contraceptives with desogestrel and drospirenone improve PCOS symptoms.
research Role of Androgen Receptor in Hypothalamic Regulation of Metabolism and Reproduction
Androgen receptors in the brain affect metabolism and reproduction differently in males and females, and may help manage PCOS symptoms in females.
research Direct quantitative digital autoradiography of testosterone metabolites in the pilosebaceous unit: an environmentally advantageous trace radioactive technology
The method accurately measures testosterone metabolites with high sensitivity and low environmental impact.
research Long-term detection of methyltestosterone (ab-) use by a yeast transactivation system
A yeast-based test can detect the steroid methyltestosterone in urine longer than traditional methods.

Dutasteride may reduce insulin sensitivity and increase body fat.
research RARE CASE OF OVARIAN STEROID CELL TUMOR NOT OTHERWISE SPECIFIED IN A POSTMENOPAUSAL WOMAN
A woman's rare ovarian tumor was treated with surgery, which stopped her symptoms and normalized her hormone levels.
research Structural basis for the catalysis and inhibition of human steroid 5α‐reductase 2
The research gives new understanding on how human steroid 5α-reductases work and how drugs like finasteride inhibit them, which could help in creating new drugs.
research The role of androgen therapy
Androgens, male hormones, play a role in both men and women's health, and testosterone therapy can help women with low levels, but it's not suitable for pregnant or lactating women, or those with certain conditions.
