The vitamin D receptor can work without its usual activating molecule.
research Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and Oxidative Stress: From Bench to Bedside
Oxidative stress worsens PCOS by damaging cells and disrupting metabolism, suggesting antioxidant treatments might help.
research Androgen Biosynthetic Pathways in the Human Prostate
DHT in the human prostate is produced through multiple pathways, not just from testosterone.
