This study found that women with both PCOS and gingivitis had significantly higher levels of AMH in their saliva compared to those with only PCOS, gingivitis, or neither condition.

In this study, young, nonobese PCOS patients showed significant insulin resistance, but no significant difference in endothelial function compared to healthy controls, suggesting other factors may influence endothelial health.

This study suggests that sexual dimorphism in adipose tissue functions may be linked to androgen levels, as women with PCOS demonstrated a more masculine adipokine expression pattern.

In this study, a novel homozygous mutation in the STAT5B gene was identified in a 17-year-old boy with growth hormone-refractory growth failure, severe eczema, and autoimmune disease, suggesting a similarity to known STAT5B deficiency phenotypes.

In this study, researchers found that overweight and obese women with polycystic ovary syndrome showed adverse changes in glucose metabolism over time, highlighting the importance of early intervention to prevent cardiometabolic diseases.

This study found that nisoral treatment in patients with hyperandrogenism was associated with restored menstrual cycles and reduced pathological hair growth, along with decreased testosterone and increased estradiol and progesterone levels.

This article reviews the causes and treatments of hypertrichosis and hirsutism and reports no new clinical findings; the authors compare diagnostic strategies and discuss available treatment options.

This study found that adequate vitamin D status is necessary for metformin to effectively reduce prolactin levels in men with iatrogenic hyperprolactinemia, while improvements in glycemic control were observed across all vitamin D groups.

This review discusses the causes and management of hirsutism, recommending low-dose oral contraceptives with flutamide over cyproterone-containing preparations, but reports no new clinical findings.

These guidelines recommend testing thyroid function in patients with obesity due to common hypothyroidism, and highlight that weight loss is crucial for addressing hormonal imbalances, with only modest weight loss benefits from treating endocrine disorders.

This study found that the revised 43-item PCOSQ had better validity and reliability than the original version, although further studies are needed to assess its predictive efficacy.

In this study, a bidirectional Mendelian randomization analysis found a causal link between alopecia areata and hypothyroidism, indicating that each condition may influence the other, while no similar relationship was observed between androgenetic alopecia and hypothyroidism.

This study found that female patients with telogen effluvium had significantly lower serum prolactin levels compared to healthy controls, which contrasts with previous findings linking higher prolactin to hair loss.

This study found that reduced plasma DIAPH1 levels were associated with polycystic ovary syndrome, suggesting DIAPH1 as a potential predictive factor for the condition.
