This study found that serum irisin levels were significantly lower in patients with androgenetic alopecia compared to healthy controls, but no significant relationship was detected between serum irisin levels and insulin resistance markers like BMI, fasting insulin, or HOMA-IR.

In this study, women with PCOS were found to have higher BMI, insulin resistance, and homocysteine levels, which are key predictors of the condition.

This study observed that patients with acne vulgaris had significantly lower serum vaspin levels and higher insulin resistance, suggesting a potential role of vaspin in the disease's pathogenesis.

This study found that women with polycystic ovary syndrome have higher triglyceride and fasting glucose levels in obese individuals and higher total cholesterol levels in non-obese individuals compared to healthy women.

In this study, researchers found that serum Myostatin levels and HOMA-IR were significantly higher in patients with androgenic alopecia compared to controls, suggesting they could be indicators of disease susceptibility and severity.

The researchers reported a high incidence of hyperuricemia in women with PCOS, with positive correlations to testosterone, SHBG, HOMA-IR, and LDL levels, but negative correlations to HbA1C, FPG, and FSI.

This article discusses the potential relationship between androgenic alopecia and insulin resistance but presents no new clinical findings, calling for further research on the topic.

This study reported that women with acanthosis nigricans and insulin resistance often exhibit signs of hyperandrogenism, including hirsutism, and have elevated fasting plasma insulin compared to controls.

This study reported that patients with acanthosis nigricans and insulin resistance exhibited higher insulin levels and were associated with increased insulin resistance correlating with serum testosterone levels.

In this case-control study, researchers found that serum apelin-12 levels were significantly higher in acne patients and correlated with acne severity, BMI, insulin resistance, and inflammation, suggesting that managing insulin resistance could be important for acne treatment.

There is no significant link between insulin resistance and certain hair disorders like idiopathic hirsutism and androgenic alopecia.

This systematic review found that cinnamon supplementation may modestly improve insulin sensitivity and potentially reduce hyperandrogenism in women with PCOS, but stresses the need for large-scale clinical trials.

This study found that lean women with PCOS have a similar degree of tissue insulin resistance as obese women with PCOS, suggesting that insulin resistance may be a primary feature of the syndrome.

In this study, serum omentin-1 levels were higher in females with idiopathic hirsutism compared to those with hirsutism and polycystic ovary syndrome, suggesting it may help distinguish between these conditions.

This study found that male patients with androgenetic alopecia had higher serum levels of Zinc Alpha 2 Glycoprotein than healthy controls, suggesting its potential role in the disease's pathophysiology.

This study found that improved testosterone measurement using LC-MS/MS in women with PCOS revealed a stronger correlation between hyperandrogenism and insulin resistance than previously detected.

This study found that women with PCOS who had a higher serum estrone-to-estradiol ratio were more likely to exhibit higher fasting insulin and postprandial glucose levels, even after adjusting for BMI and waist-to-hip ratio.

Women with PCOS have overall higher body fat, not abnormal fat placement, and more insulin resistance.

This study found that women with PCOS had lower fasting serum ghrelin levels and a reduced ghrelin response to an oral glucose load compared to controls, with an inverse relationship to insulin resistance.

This review examines the potential therapeutic effects and mechanisms of quercetin for treating polycystic ovary syndrome, noting improved clinical parameters in some studies but presenting no new results.

This study found that abnormal carbohydrate metabolism linked to increased serum fasting insulin levels is associated with 20% of women with polycystic ovary syndrome, and these women exhibit more symptoms compared to those with normal insulin levels.

Vitamin D deficiency is common in women with PCOS and linked to some metabolic problems, but not the main cause of their metabolic issues.

This study concluded that an 8-week low-starch/low-dairy diet increased fat oxidation in overweight and obese women with PCOS.

This study found that patients with premature greying of hair had significant abnormalities in cardiovascular risk markers, including elevated IL-6 levels, compared to healthy controls.

This study found that metformin significantly improved clinical and hormonal indices in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome compared to pioglitazone, which also effectively controlled some symptoms.

This study provides further evidence for a genetic basis of PCOS, showing that polycystic ovarian morphology is a marker of inherited biochemical features in families with PCOS.

This study found that hypothyroidism in women with PCOS significantly increased insulin resistance and obesity, which might worsen metabolic issues and impact conditions like hair loss and infertility.

This study found that serum PGRN levels and HOMA-IR were significantly higher in male AGA patients compared to controls, suggesting a link to insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome.

This study found that patients with alopecia areata had lower adiponectin levels and higher leptin levels compared to healthy controls, with leptin levels correlating positively with insulin resistance markers and negatively with HDL cholesterol.

This study found that the uric acid to creatinine ratio had excellent diagnostic ability for polycystic ovary syndrome, with significant associations to metabolic and hematologic changes in PCOS patients.
