This case-control study in Missan Province, Iraq, found that married women with PCOS had higher rates of obesity and menstrual irregularities, along with elevated testosterone, LH, and insulin levels, compared to healthy controls, highlighting significant hormonal and metabolic complications.

This study found that patients with alopecia areata had altered levels of inflammatory and coagulation markers, suggesting an association with disease pathogenesis and potential predictive value.

This study observed that individuals with hair loss had significantly higher levels of serum galanin, troponin, prolactin, and FSH, and lower levels of TSH, zinc, magnesium, copper, iron, and calcium compared to healthy controls, suggesting a potential role of these biomarkers in hair loss.

This study examined the relationship between asprosin levels and polycystic ovary syndrome, finding no statistically significant difference in asprosin levels between patients and healthy controls, although differences in fetuin a levels were significant.

This study found that women with polycystic ovary syndrome had significantly higher levels of the protein fetuin-A compared to healthy controls.

This study found low serum ferritin and vitamin B12 levels in a significant portion of women with chronic telogen effluvium, while vitamin D deficiency was less common.

This study found that a novel proniosomal gel formulation of CoQ10 improved antioxidant levels and provided better skin protection against UV radiation compared to a conventional CoQ10 gel in animal models.
