The study found that certain microRNAs are higher in the cells and lower in the fluid of women with a specific type of polycystic ovary syndrome, and one microRNA could potentially help diagnose the condition.

The enzyme type 1 5α-reductase is more active in the hair follicle's lower part than in the skin's outer layer.

Testosterone affects androgen receptors and lipid storage in cells, while DHEA does not convert to testosterone or affect these receptors in the same way.

Eating cream can increase ovarian androgen production in women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, which is not related to obesity.

PCOS in lean women is a serious health condition with implications beyond fertility, affecting metabolism and increasing cardiovascular disease risk.

Aquaporins could be new drug targets for treating polycystic ovary syndrome.

Citrullus colocynthis fruit extract may effectively treat testosterone-related hair loss, similar to finasteride.

Hair growth is influenced by hormones and goes through different phases; androgens can both promote and inhibit hair growth depending on the body area.

Exercise and finasteride together improve ovary health in PCOS rats.

The document concludes that early recognition and treatment of PCOS in adolescents is crucial for managing symptoms and long-term health risks.

Oxidative stress worsens PCOS by damaging cells and disrupting metabolism, suggesting antioxidant treatments might help.

New hair loss treatments may include topical medications, injections, and improved transplant methods.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) was first described in 1721, officially diagnosed in the 1990s, and is now known to be partly genetic and linked to insulin resistance, with increased risk of cardiovascular disease and carbohydrate metabolism issues.

Topical finasteride might be a good alternative for hair loss treatment with fewer side effects, but more research is needed.

Noni fruit extract, specifically the FEA-3 sub-fraction, can increase hair growth and reduce baldness in male rabbits, potentially acting like common hair loss treatments.

Different hair growth phases affect how follicles respond to X-rays, and hormones like testosterone and dihydrotestosterone play a key role in baldness; transplanted hair can grow on bald scalp areas.

Androgens are important for female fertility and could help in IVF treatment, but also play a role in causing PCOS.

New hormonal contraceptives are safer, have fewer side effects, and offer health benefits for women.

PCOS causes infertility mainly due to hormonal imbalances, insulin resistance, and chronic inflammation.

Certain genetic variations in the AR and ERβ genes can affect androgen levels in women.

Exposure to too much androgen before birth might cause polycystic ovary syndrome later in life.

Androgens slow hair growth by altering Wnt signaling in balding cells.

The research found that anovulatory young women have higher androgen and hormone levels than those who ovulate, suggesting immature hormonal regulation rather than a specific condition.

Use "female pattern hair loss" term, assess androgen excess, treat with minoxidil and other medications if needed.

A 17-year-old female with adrenogenital syndrome produces very high levels of androgens, which prevent complete feminization despite high estrogen doses.

Androgen replacement therapy can improve libido and mood in women with severe androgen deficiency, but more research is needed on its long-term safety.

Most women referred for excess male hormone symptoms had polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), with other conditions being less common.

The guidelines advise against using testosterone and DHEA in women for most conditions due to safety and effectiveness concerns, but suggest considering testosterone for postmenopausal women with low sexual desire.

Antiandrogen drugs can reduce PSA levels in women with excess hair, suggesting PSA is a sign of male hormone activity in women.
