    TLDR High levels of testosterone and anti-Müllerian hormone before pregnancy are linked to a higher risk of newborns needing intensive care.
    The study examined the impact of preconception testosterone (T) and anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels on neonatal health outcomes in 583 women without PCOS. Participants were categorized into four groups: low T/low AMH (n=358), low T/high AMH (n=89), high T/low AMH (n=75), and high T/high AMH (n=61). Findings indicated that babies born to mothers with high T/high AMH levels had a nearly doubled risk of NICU admission (20.3%) compared to those with low T/low AMH levels (9.4%; RR: 1.85, 95%CI: 0.97, 3.53). No significant differences were observed in birthweight, multiple birth rate, gestational diabetes incidence, preterm or early term birth rates, or 5-minute Apgar scores < 7 across the groups. The study concluded that elevated preconception T and AMH levels are associated with an increased risk of adverse neonatal outcomes, specifically NICU admissions, suggesting a need for further research into the hormonal factors linked to PCOS that may affect neonatal health.

      community Why hasn’t anyone made a "DHT sponge" biologic yet???

      in Research/Science  45 upvotes 4 months ago
      The conversation discusses the potential for developing a biologic "DHT sponge" to neutralize DHT in the bloodstream as a treatment for hair loss, suggesting it could be more targeted and have fewer side effects than current treatments like finasteride and dutasteride. Concerns include the complexity, cost, and potential side effects of such a treatment, as well as skepticism about its feasibility and market interest.
