This study reports that low levels of HDL cholesterol and IGF-1 were associated with a higher risk of hair loss in middle-aged women, but causal relationships remain uncertain.

In this study, normal weight adolescents with PCOS showed increased insulin resistance and significantly lower levels of high molecular weight adiponectin compared to controls, despite no other metabolic differences.

This study found that both ethanol and aqueous extracts of Lepidium sativum seeds improved insulin signaling and reduced obesity-related metabolic changes in high-fat diet-fed rats, suggesting potential as a dietary supplement.

This study found that women with polycystic ovary syndrome have higher insulin resistance and lower serum high-molecular weight adiponectin, which may play a role in the condition's pathogenesis.

In this study, a high inositol diet, with or without supplements, significantly improved androgen levels, insulin sensitivity, and certain metabolic indicators in women with PCOS over three months.

This study found that Allium ascalonicum L. extract may improve insulin resistance by increasing insulin tolerance test values and lowering blood glucose levels, though more research is needed to understand its effects on metabolic disorders.

This paper reviews the complex pathophysiology of polycystic ovary syndrome, exploring how hormonal and metabolic disturbances contribute to its symptoms and related health risks, but it presents no new findings.

In this study, female androgenic alopecia (grade II or III on Ludwig's scale) was found to be common among Finnish women aged 63, and several markers of insulin resistance, along with paternal history of alopecia, were associated with an increased risk.

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.

This article discusses the role of growth hormone, insulin, and IGF-1 in acne development and highlights how diet and syndromic evidence support their involvement, but presents no new clinical findings.

This case report presents a 14-year-old girl with type A insulin resistance, illustrating diagnostic processes to differentiate it from type 2 diabetes in the context of pediatric obesity and hyperglycemia.

This paper discusses the relationship between insulin resistance and polycystic ovarian syndrome, noting that when they coexist, they amplify androgen secretion and skin-related changes, affecting ovulation and fertility, but presents no new experimental findings.

This study found that during dialysis, lower plasma-potassium levels were associated with hyperglycemia, suggesting potassium correction is vital when using glucose-rich dialysate.

In this case study, the researchers reported that treating a woman with type B insulin resistance using rituximab, dexamethasone, and cyclophosphamide greatly reduced her insulin needs, but her hyperandrogenic state persisted, suggesting ovarian hyperthecosis.

This review discusses the relationship between hyperandrogenism and insulin resistance in PCOS, focusing on insulin dynamics, molecular mechanisms, genetic studies, and potential long-term treatments, but presents no new clinical results.

This study observed that partial autotaxin deficiency in mice protects against diet-induced obesity and systemic insulin resistance, suggesting the ATX-LPA pathway negatively affects skeletal muscle insulin signaling and mitochondrial function during obesity.

This article reviews the role of IGF-1 in acne pathogenesis and discusses how diet and smoking may influence insulin/IGF-1 signaling, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that patients with acne vulgaris had higher serum IGF-1 levels and more intense FoxO1 and mTOR expression than controls, suggesting their role in acne pathogenesis.

This study found that in young Taiwanese women with PCOS, low sex hormone-binding globulin levels were associated with low HDL cholesterol levels, independent of insulin resistance and obesity.

This article reviews evidence on hyperinsulinemia and insulin resistance in women with polycystic ovary syndrome and evaluates therapeutic responses to insulin-lowering agents, reporting no new clinical findings.

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.

In this study, HIIT increased adiponectin levels and improved cholesterol profiles in women with PCOS, but did not change leptin or vaspin levels.

In this study, hs-CRP levels were not significantly associated with PCOS among Indian adolescent women, but showed a positive correlation with body mass index.

This study found that lipin 1β expression in both visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissue is significantly lower in PCOS patients compared to controls, suggesting its involvement in the pathogenesis of insulin resistance.

In this study of women with polycystic ovary syndrome, insulin resistance was associated with obesity, waist circumference, lipid accumulation, and hypertension, with no significant difference in prevalence between different diagnostic methods.

This study observed that certain herbal extracts may promote hair growth and inhibit hair loss in cell lines by affecting specific protein expressions similarly to minoxidil.

This study found that women with PCOS had higher body fat and worse insulin resistance than non-PCOS women, with body composition influencing metabolic profiles independently of PCOS status.

This study identified several rare genetic variants related to insulin resistance in women with PCOS, highlighting the potential for monogenic conditions in patients with extreme or atypical phenotypes.

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 study found that women with PCOS exhibited higher levels of depression, tension induction, and impaired stress coping strategies compared to healthy controls, with these psychological issues correlating with hyperandrogenism but not with central obesity or insulin resistance.
