July 2016 in “Mağallaẗ Kulliyyaẗ al-ṭibb Baġdād” This study found that women with polycystic ovary syndrome had significantly higher levels of prostate-specific antigen, which positively correlated with testosterone levels, the LH/FSH ratio, and hirsutism severity.
April 2022 in “Diabetes Therapy” In this case report, the researchers emphasize the importance of regular prostate exams and PSA tests for diabetic men, including those who are hypogonadal, because prostate cancer development is linked to intraprostatic dihydrotestosterone levels, not serum testosterone levels.
