    TLDR PCOS is linked to diabetes and insulin resistance, and managing AGEs may help treat related symptoms.
    Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is closely linked with metabolic disorders such as Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM), with insulin resistance (IR) being a central factor. The review highlights the connection between PCOS, IR, and the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs), which contribute to IR and can worsen PCOS and diabetes symptoms. It suggests that targeting the interaction between AGEs and their receptors (RAGE) may help in managing IR-related complications. The document also discusses the potential benefits of M. oleifera and S. platensis in providing symptomatic relief for PCOS and mentions common medications like metformin, inositol, thiazolidinediones, and spironolactone used for treatment. The review underscores the complex relationship between hormonal imbalances and metabolic dysfunctions in 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.

      community Losing Hair on Dutasteride? You might have LPP

      in Research/Science  94 upvotes 4 weeks ago
      Men with hair loss might have lichen planopilaris (LPP), which can mimic androgenetic alopecia, leading to misdiagnosis and ineffective treatment with finasteride or dutasteride. Proper diagnosis, including biopsies, is crucial to distinguish between androgenetic alopecia and conditions like LPP.
