May 2020 in “Frontiers in Public Health” Insulin resistance linked to obesity may increase COVID-19 severity.
June 2026 in “International Journal on Science and Technology” This source redefines anti-aging medicine as "precision healthspan pharmacology," suggesting that rather than just treating diseases or accepting aging, pharmacology should focus on expanding functional capacity across various health domains, while emphasizing the importance of fundamental physiological and psychosocial health factors.
January 2020 in “Research Square (Research Square)” In this study, Irish adults with severe obesity who had cervical or axillary skin tags showed higher systolic blood pressure, higher HbA1c levels, and more diabetes and hypertension, suggesting an increased vascular risk.
June 2012 in “Springer eBooks” Eating disorders can cause various hair problems, and while hair loss in these disorders is linked to metabolic syndrome, treatment focuses on specific medications and lifestyle changes for the syndrome.
October 2023 in “Frontiers in endocrinology” This review examines the role of androgens and androgen receptors in regulating glucose and lipid metabolism, focusing on their effects on mitochondrial content and function; it also discusses the sex-dimorphic influence of androgens and provides theoretical insights into their mechanisms.
