January 2024 in “International Journal of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology” This study found that Iraqi women with PCOS who carry the reference wild type alleles of OCT1 had a significant hormonal and metabolic response to metformin, unlike those with mutant alleles.
December 2023 in “Migration letters” This meta-analysis reviewed 25 studies and suggested that herbal interventions could improve reproductive health in women with PCOS, showing benefits across measures such as Body Mass Index, hirsutism, and insulin levels, although results were mixed for fasting glucose and FSH levels.
November 2023 in “L'Endocrinologo” This review examines the impact of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) on women's sexual health, highlighting inconsistencies in existing research; it reports no new results.
November 2023 in “Systems Biology in Reproductive Medicine” This study assessed vitamin E and a combined oral contraceptive's impact on continuous light-induced PCOS in female rats, finding they reduced testosterone levels and modified oxidative stress, suggesting benefits via melatonin-related pathways.
This study found that women with polycystic ovary syndrome had significantly higher levels of the protein fetuin-A compared to healthy controls.
September 2023 in “Research Square (Research Square)” In this study, overweight women with polycystic ovarian syndrome who took evening primrose oil for 10 weeks experienced significant reductions in BMI, LDL, and total cholesterol levels, alongside hormonal changes such as decreased LH, FSH, and testosterone levels, and increased estrogen.
September 2023 in “Deleted Journal” This study observed that lifestyle modifications resulting in weight loss improved menstrual irregularity and hormonal balance among infertile obese women with polycystic ovary syndrome, although changes in total testosterone and estrone were not significant.
September 2023 in “Journal of International Medical Research” This study found that metformin increased follicle-stimulating hormone levels and decreased kisspeptin concentrations in Iraqi women with polycystic ovary syndrome, with gene variations potentially influencing treatment response.
August 2023 in “International Journal For Multidisciplinary Research” This case study reported that using the ayurvedic treatment protocol of Nitya Virechana, Kulatthadi Kashaya, and Shatapushpa Churna was associated with improved menstrual regularity, reduced obesity, and decreased symptoms of hirsutism and acne in a 19-year-old woman with PCOD.
