research Dehydrogenase, Cortisol, Dopamine, Zinc, and Vitamin D3 in Iraqi Patients with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
PCOS patients have higher LDH and lower cortisol, dopamine, zinc, and vitamin D3, which may contribute to their symptoms and obesity.
research Lipin 1 Gene Polymorphisms in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Certain gene variations might help protect against insulin resistance and glucose intolerance in people with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.
research Animal Models and the Developmental Origins of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: Increasing Evidence for the Role of Androgens in Programming Reproductive and Metabolic Dysfunction
High levels of androgens during early development may cause PCOS-like symptoms.
research Development of a Liquid Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry-Based Inhibition Assay for the Screening of Steroid 5-α Reductase in Human and Fish Cell Lines
A new method was created to test the effectiveness of Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) inhibitors, like finasteride and dutasteride, in human and fish cells. The results showed fish cells are more sensitive to these treatments, and dutasteride works better than finasteride in all tested cells.
research sc-eQTL unveil immunogenetic architecture of polycystic ovary syndrome
PCOS involves immune and genetic factors, with key roles for T cells and specific genes.
research The genetics of autism and steroid-related traits in prenatal and postnatal life
Autism's genetics are linked with early age of puberty and less hair loss, but not with hormone levels or polycystic ovary syndrome.
research Sterol Intermediates of Cholesterol Biosynthesis Inhibit Hair Growth and Trigger an Innate Immune Response in Cicatricial Alopecia
Cholesterol-related compounds can stop hair growth and cause inflammation in a type of scarring hair loss.
research Synthesis of mimics of steroid A ring as potential enzyme inhibitors
Mimicking the steroid A-ring may help create effective enzyme inhibitors for prostate disease treatment.
research Genetic Variation in CYP2B6, UGT1A4 and Sulfotransferases Is Associated with Disease-Free Survival in South African Breast Cancer Patients Treated with Tamoxifen
