In this study, the researchers used dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and found that women with polycystic ovary syndrome exhibit a central fat distribution pattern despite not having increased overall fat compared to controls, suggesting this method's potential utility in diagnosing and monitoring PCOS.

In this study, daughters of women with PCOS and control daughters showed no significant differences in metabolic and hormonal parameters, but more PCOS daughters exhibited hirsutism at advanced pubertal stages.

This study found that ESR1 gene polymorphisms may be linked to hormonal imbalances in young women with hyperandrogenism, potentially affecting bone mineral density indirectly.

Women with PCOS have overall higher body fat, not abnormal fat placement, and more insulin resistance.

This study found that PCOS patients had higher amounts of central abdominal fat compared to weight-matched controls, which was associated with increased insulin resistance.

This study found no significant differences in fat distribution between Thai women with and without polycystic ovary syndrome, though PCOS women with abnormal glucose tolerance showed higher arm fat.

This article explores evidence for a rational strategy in the endocrine and metabolic management of patients with excess body hair or scalp loss and reports no new clinical results.

This randomized clinical trial found that vitamin D supplementation did not significantly alter anthropometric or metabolic parameters in obese, insulin-resistant, and vitamin D-deficient women with polycystic ovary syndrome, whereas metformin effectively reduced body weight, BMI, waist circumference, total body fat, and serum glucose levels.

This article outlines the rationale, design, major findings, and updated objectives of the ongoing Rotterdam Study, without presenting new research data.

This study found no significant difference in obesity rates across various phenotypes of PCOS in high-school girls, but highlights the future health risks associated with hyperandrogenism.

This review discusses lifestyle interventions to manage weight and reduce metabolic consequences in women with PCOS but reports no new clinical results, highlighting the need for more randomized studies.

This review highlights the connection between sex hormones and metabolic dysfunction, emphasizing how conditions like male hypogonadism and female hyperandrogenism can increase the risk and severity of hepatic steatosis, which often progresses alongside metabolic syndrome and elevates mortality risks.

This narrative review suggests that, after at least two years of gender-affirming hormone therapy, nonathletic transgender individuals tend to have physical performance levels similar to cisgender individuals, though more controlled research is necessary, particularly among trans athletes.

In this pilot randomized clinical trial, TRT combined with finasteride increased lean mass, muscle size, and bone mineral density without prostate enlargement in men with spinal cord injury, suggesting potential benefits for body composition and musculoskeletal health.

This review discusses the relationship between gut microbiota and polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), including its potential mechanisms and the role of alterations in microbiome composition on PCOS pathophysiology.

This review discusses the range and causes of adipose tissue diseases, emphasizing genetic and acquired forms of lipodystrophy, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study observed that acne was strongly associated with higher BMI, alopecia, menstrual dysfunction, positive familial history, and overuse of sweet and fatty foods among dermatology patients.

This study concluded that current cross-sex hormone treatments for trans men and trans women are effective with a low risk of side effects in the short term, though they did observe specific clinical changes.

This article discusses the psychological impact of skin imperfections and suggests establishing a Cosmetic Dermatology Service within public health systems to address these issues ethically.

This source critically examines the limitations of using BMI to assess obesity in women, especially during reproductive, pregnancy, and postmenopausal stages, and discusses more precise alternative methods for evaluating obesity in line with sex-specific healthcare needs.

In this case report from People's College of Medical Sciences, a 20-year-old man initially misdiagnosed with Addison's disease was ultimately found to have strongyloidiasis, with his symptoms and weight loss improving after antihelminthic treatment.

This review explores hirsutism in women with PCOS, analyzing its pathophysiology and management through both modern medicine and Unani perspectives, and suggests combining these approaches for more holistic care, while calling for future research to enhance treatment efficacy and safety.

This study suggests that sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors, alone or with metformin or GLP1RA, may improve metabolic and hormonal parameters in women with polycystic ovary syndrome.

This study developed and validated a 50-item questionnaire, the PCOSQ-50, to effectively assess the quality of life in Iranian women with polycystic ovary syndrome, addressing aspects often missed by previous questionnaires.

This study concluded that patients with metabolic syndrome, regardless of androgenetic alopecia presence, were more insulin resistant than those with only androgenetic alopecia or healthy controls, indicating no true association between alopecia and insulin resistance.

This meta-analysis found that the prevalence of PCOS among Iranian women varies by diagnostic criteria, with notable rates of associated complications like hirsutism, acne, and menstrual disorders.
