    TLDR Resistance training improved BMI and menstrual regularity more in women with PCOS than aerobic training.
    The study involved 78 women with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) aged 18-40, who were divided into two groups: Group A (39 participants) received aerobic training and lifestyle modification, while Group B (39 participants) underwent resistance training for 8 weeks. The results indicated that both groups experienced similar improvements in PCOS symptoms and quality of life. However, the resistance training group showed a more significant improvement in Body Mass Index (BMI) and menstrual regularity. The study suggests that resistance training, possibly in conjunction with lifestyle changes, may be a more effective method for managing BMI and menstrual regularity in women with PCOS.

      Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
