This study found that curcumin lowered fasting blood sugar levels and improved menstruation characteristics in women with polycystic ovary syndrome, but it did not affect other metabolic, hormonal, or hirsutism indices.

This review discusses the diagnostic criteria and management strategies for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) and highlights the need for comprehensive clinical assessment, but does not report new clinical findings.

This review discusses the various evidence-based and potential applications of metformin in treating and preventing symptoms and complications associated with polycystic ovary syndrome but reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the etiology, diagnosis, and management strategies for hirsutism, noting that serious underlying disorders are rare and emphasizing targeted treatment to manage testosterone's effects.

This review explores the "brain-skin connection" and presents evidence suggesting keloids may be influenced by psychosocial stress, although it reports no new experimental results.

This article reviews the challenges in diagnosing mild hyperandrogenism in adolescent girls, discussing potential causes like PCOS and treatment options, but reports no new clinical results.

This chapter reviews the perioperative management and evaluation processes for bariatric surgery, emphasizing candidate selection, surgical risk reduction, and optimizing outcomes, and reports no new clinical results.

This study found that testosterone more accurately predicts PCOS diagnosis than 11-oxyandrogens, which were linked with hirsutism severity and showed varying responses to contraceptive and metformin treatments.

In this case report, a 21-year-old woman with PCOS and obesity underwent bariatric surgery, leading to significant weight loss and improved hormonal balance, which alleviated her hyperandrogenism symptoms like hirsutism and irregular periods.

In this case study, the authors observed that weight loss coupled with a brief use of oral contraceptives was associated with normalized testosterone levels in a woman with severe hyperandrogenism and PCOS.

This study found that while 11-oxyandrogens do not aid in diagnosing PCOS, they correlate with hirsutism severity, and 11-ketotestosterone levels decrease with combined oral contraceptive therapy.

This case report emphasizes the importance of recognizing non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia as a cause of hyperandrogenism and the need for genetic counseling given potential familial implications.

In this case report, significantly elevated testosterone levels were documented in a young female with Type A Insulin Resistance Syndrome, marking a clinical finding beyond what is typically associated with the disorder's known mutations.

This case study reported that even with improved adrenal androgens and testosterone levels, treating women with AH-PCOS with glucocorticoids did not significantly improve ovulatory function or hirsutism.

This case report identifies an adolescent with symptoms indicative of Dunnigan-type partial lipodystrophy, emphasizing the need for early diagnosis to manage associated metabolic complications and improve self-esteem.

This study found that castration increased 5 alpha-reductase activity in the sebaceous glands of male hamsters, but administering testosterone propionate or 5 alpha-dihydrotestosterone inhibited this effect.

This study found that mice lacking myelin protein zero-like 3 (Mpzl3) had reduced body weight and adiposity despite increased food intake, which was linked to higher energy expenditure and improved glycemic control.

This study found that serum vaspin levels were elevated in women with polycystic ovary syndrome compared to controls, but treatment with metformin or weight loss did not significantly change these levels.

This article discusses the influence of estrogens on hair follicle growth and metabolism, suggesting a significant role alongside androgens in hair growth control but reports no new clinical results.

In this study, daughters of women with PCOS and control daughters showed no significant differences in metabolic and hormonal parameters, but more PCOS daughters exhibited hirsutism at advanced pubertal stages.

The skin acts like an endocrine organ, making hormones that affect skin diseases and respond to stress.

This study reported that both phlebotomy and oral contraceptive pills with cyproterone acetate effectively improved insulin resistance and androgenic profiles in women with PCOS, but OCs had more impact on regularizing menstrual cycles.

Hormones and genetics affect hair growth and patterns, with some changes reversible and others not.

This abstract provided no research findings as it contains only website navigation and service information.

This study observed that finasteride, while lowering cholesterol levels, did not decrease the prevalence of clinical cardiovascular events or new ECG abnormalities in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia compared to controls, suggesting a potential disconnect between cholesterol management and cardiovascular risk reduction with this treatment.

This study found that while pro-, pre-, and synbiotics may have beneficial effects on certain PCOS-related outcomes, the certainty of this evidence is low to very low.
