January 2024 in “Wiadomości Lekarskie” This study observed that, among women of reproductive age with prediabetes, those treated with a combination of metformin and liraglutide experienced greater weight loss, a more significant decrease in visceral adiposity index, and higher rates of HbA1C normalization compared to those receiving metformin and inositol.
In this study of Andean Ecuadorian women with PCOS, phenotypes A and B were more prevalent and associated with higher risks of insulin resistance, anovulation, and metabolic disorders compared to phenotypes C and D.
November 2023 in “Deleted Journal” In this study, multimedia education significantly improved the knowledge and practices of women with polycystic ovarian syndrome, particularly in managing symptoms like menstrual irregularity and oligomenorrhea, as observed in a sample from the Sohag University Hospital clinic in Egypt.
September 2023 in “The Journal of clinical endocrinology and metabolism” This study found that genetic risk factors for PCOS are linked to increased body mass index and earlier developmental milestones in childhood, indicating that PCOS may affect both sexes from early life.
September 2023 in “Research Square (Research Square)” In this study, overweight women with polycystic ovarian syndrome who took evening primrose oil for 10 weeks experienced significant reductions in BMI, LDL, and total cholesterol levels, alongside hormonal changes such as decreased LH, FSH, and testosterone levels, and increased estrogen.
September 2023 in “Deleted Journal” This study observed that lifestyle modifications resulting in weight loss improved menstrual irregularity and hormonal balance among infertile obese women with polycystic ovary syndrome, although changes in total testosterone and estrone were not significant.
August 2023 in “İzmir tepecik eğitim hastanesi dergisi” This study suggests that the role of vitamin 25(OH)D in the pathogenesis of PCOS and diminished ovarian reserve may be independent of serum vitamin 25(OH)D levels.
August 2023 in “The American Journal of the Medical Sciences” This study found that men with androgenetic alopecia had higher serum uric acid levels and a greater incidence of hyperuricemia compared to those without, but finasteride treatment significantly reduced uric acid levels over six months.
July 2023 in “Journal of Clinical Medicine” In this study, researchers investigated factors predicting resistance to clomiphene citrate in women with anovulatory PCOS, identifying AMH and SHBG levels as significant indicators, but they found no reliable thresholds for predicting resistance to the standard 50 mg/day dose.
