This preliminary case-control study investigated body composition and skinfold thickness differences between women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and those without, involving 266 women, 117 of whom were diagnosed with PCOS using the Rotterdam criteria. The study found that women with PCOS had a higher body mass index, fat mass percentage, and endomorphy component compared to controls. Each PCOS phenotype showed distinct somatochart representations, with the H-O-POM phenotype exhibiting significantly higher skinfold thicknesses and fat mass percentage than controls. These findings suggested that body composition differences in women with PCOS, particularly in the H-O-POM phenotype, could impact clinical evaluation and follow-up, highlighting the need for further research.
research Anthropometric Characteristics of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and Their Associations with Insulin Resistance and Lipid Profile
This study investigated the body composition differences between women with PCOS and those without, using anthropometric methods, and examined their potential as predictors of insulin resistance (IR) and lipid profile (LP). The study included 126 women with PCOS and 159 controls. Women with PCOS exhibited higher body mass index, fat mass percentage, and testosterone levels. Fat mass was linked to higher triglycerides and LDL-c, and lower HDL-c, regardless of PCOS status. HOMA-IR was more significant in PCOS patients and related to fat mass. Higher bone mass correlated with lower cholesterol levels, independent of PCOS. Lean mass predicted a better metabolic profile, influenced by PCOS. The study emphasized the role of body composition in PCOS and its association with a poorer metabolic profile, with PCOS linked to worse HOMA-IR independent of body composition.
research Gonadal Profile in Men with Early-Onset Androgenetic Alopecia: Does a Male PCOS-Equivalent Syndrome Exist?
Men with early hair loss and certain health factors may have a higher risk of developing reproductive issues, similar to polycystic ovary syndrome in women.
research Body Composition Changes and Inhibition of Fat Development In Vivo Implicate Androgen in Regulation of Stem Cell Lineage Allocation
Androgen is important in controlling stem cell differentiation, reducing fat development, and increasing lean mass.
research The Impact of Gender Affirming Hormone Therapy on Physical Performance
Gender-affirming hormone therapy improves physical performance in trans men to the level of cisgender men, while in trans women, it increases fat mass and decreases muscle mass, with no advantage in physical performance after 2 years.

5 / 797 resultscommunity What else can I do to compliment Minoxidil?
A user has been using minoxidil for hair loss and has seen positive results, but is seeking additional treatments to enhance its effects. One suggestion given is to use finasteride alongside minoxidil.
community Having androgen receptor density and sensitivity at wrong f*ing place
The conversation discusses hair loss treatments, focusing on the use of topical minoxidil, microneedling, finasteride, and dutasteride, while debating the role of testosterone and DHT in hair loss. It also touches on the potential liver health impacts of these treatments and the genetic sensitivity of hair follicles to androgens.
community Finasteride doubled my testosterone & estrogen
Finasteride increased testosterone and estrogen, stopped hair loss, and promoted regrowth. Users discussed side effects like libido changes and considered adding minoxidil and aromatase inhibitors.
community Efficacy of different dutasteride doses vs finasteride
Dutasteride doses matter for hair loss treatment and are more effective than finasteride. RU58841 is suggested for better gains, but side effect profiles should be considered.
community Been on Propecia since 1997, recently switched to Topical Finasteride.. follow for updates, or to ask any questions about 23 years on Propecia.
User spent 23 years on Finasteride with side effects like weight gain and reduced libido. Switched to topical Finasteride, side effects reduced and waiting for results.
