June 2012 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study found that adiponectin promotes hair growth in cultured human hair follicles, suggesting its receptors could be a target for clinical hair growth strategies.
June 2024 in “International journal of molecular sciences” In this study, researchers found that topical treatment with adenosine improved hair growth and thickness by significantly increasing hair density and thickness after four months in vivo, with results comparable to minoxidil, potentially due to adenosine's anti-androgenic effects.

January 2016 in “International journal of reproduction, contraception, obstetrics and gynecology” This study found that the FSHR Ser680Asn (rs6166) gene polymorphism is associated with an increased risk of PCOS in the examined population and could serve as a molecular biomarker for identifying risk.
December 2023 in “Journal of the Endocrine Society” In this study, the researchers found that glucocorticoid receptor activation may influence glucose metabolism, with preventive GR antagonist treatment reducing hyperglycemia and restoring glucose tolerance in a PCOS mouse model.
