This study found that fasting insulin levels are associated with increased cardiovascular and metabolic risk factors in women with polycystic ovary syndrome.

In this study of women with PCOS, hirsutism strongly correlated with metabolic abnormalities, while acne and androgenic alopecia were not clear markers of biochemical hyperandrogenemia or metabolic dysfunction.

Many women with hard-to-treat acne also have PCOS.

This study found that obese Taiwanese women had a lower incidence of acne than non-obese women, despite having higher serum testosterone levels.

This review discusses the perimenopause, its symptoms, and management options, emphasizing the role of pharmacists in educating and advising women on treatment strategies and preventive health measures, but it reports no new results.

This study found that health-related quality of life was significantly lower in women with polycystic ovary syndrome, especially those with the anovulatory phenotype, compared to non-PCOS controls attending a tertiary hospital.

This systematic review found insufficient evidence to support protective effects of selenium on polycystic ovary syndrome complications, despite some studies suggesting it may reduce insulin resistance and dyslipidemia.

This article reviews the clinical presentation, contributing factors, and prevalence of polycystic ovary syndrome but provides no original research findings.

This review discusses the challenges in measuring testosterone for assessing androgen excess in women and emphasizes the importance of quality control in laboratory methods, but it reports no new clinical results.

In this study, the researchers found that the choice of diagnostic criteria significantly affects the rate of PCOS diagnosis in adolescents.

This study observed two distinct phenotypes among North Indian women with PCOS: obese hyperinsulinaemic dysglycemic women from Delhi and lean hyperandrogenic women from Srinagar, despite being in the same region.

Vitamin D deficiency is common in women with PCOS and linked to some metabolic problems, but not the main cause of their metabolic issues.

This study reports an increased frequency of the DI genotype of the ACE gene polymorphism among women with PCOS, notably in those with hyperandrogenism, and an association of the II genotype with insulin resistance.

Metformin helps manage diabetes, PCOS, and weight in kids but needs more research for long-term safety.

This study determined that the upper normal cut-off levels for free testosterone, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate, and total testosterone among reproductive-age women in China are 26 pmol/L, 4.92 μmol/L, and 2.39 nmol/L, respectively.

In this study, serum PSA levels were higher in women with PCOS, suggesting it may serve as a marker for hyperandrogenism in this condition.

Higher thyroid hormone levels may be linked to certain types of polycystic ovary syndrome.

This article discusses the need for a globally standardized protocol for epidemiologic studies of polycystic ovary syndrome to improve study comparability and public health policy.

This study suggests that the anogenital distance measure AGD_AC may moderately discriminate the presence of polycystic ovarian syndrome and could be a useful clinical tool.

In this study of women with polycystic ovary syndrome, insulin resistance was associated with obesity, waist circumference, lipid accumulation, and hypertension, with no significant difference in prevalence between different diagnostic methods.

This study found that young men with early-onset androgenetic alopecia have a worse glycolipid profile and hormone pattern similar to women's PCOS, suggesting a possible male PCOS-equivalent syndrome.

This study reports that obesity significantly influences cardiovascular and metabolic disturbances in women with PCOS, with overweight women experiencing more severe symptoms compared to their non-obese counterparts.

This study found that in women with polycystic ovary syndrome, PCOS phenotype and oxidative stress markers were significantly related to free androgen index levels, but insulin resistance was not.

In this study, women with polycystic ovary syndrome had higher body mass index and hormone levels compared to healthy women, with hyperandrogenism symptoms like hirsutism and alopecia more prevalent among the obese participants.

This review discusses the evaluation of hyperandrogenemia in women and hypogonadism in men across different life stages and presents biomarkers used for diagnosing male hypogonadism, reporting no new clinical results.

This study highlights that lower testosterone in men and higher testosterone in women are linked to increased risks of metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes, with associated skin diseases indicating potential cardiovascular complications.

In this study, the authors concluded that clinical hyperandrogenism is not a reliable predictor for biochemical hyperandrogenism in Thai women with PCOS.

This review discusses potential treatments for androgen excess in polycystic ovary syndrome and reports no new findings, emphasizing the importance of individualized antiandrogenic management to minimize side effects.
