    TLDR Fetuin-A levels are higher in PCOS patients, suggesting it may play a role in the condition.
    The study aimed to evaluate fetuin-A levels and their association with asprosin and various biochemical parameters in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). It involved 90 females, with 60 diagnosed with PCOS and 30 as healthy controls. The study found significant differences in fetuin-A levels between the PCOS group and the control group, with a highly significant P value of 0.0002. However, the comparison of asprosin levels between the groups was not statistically significant (P value=0.115). The research highlights the potential role of fetuin-A in PCOS, suggesting it could be a marker for the condition.

      High sugar diets may worsen hair loss by increasing 5α-reductase activity and androgen levels, especially in women with PCOS. A low sugar diet might reduce scalp DHT levels, similar to finasteride, but genetics also significantly influence hair loss.

      A 29-year-old woman is experiencing gradual hair thinning since age 15, suspects Androgenic Alopecia, and has tried 5% minoxidil with little success. She has purchased various hair loss treatments including minoxidil, dutasteride, finasteride, and spironolactone, but is cautious about starting them due to potential interactions with her ADHD medication.
