Obese women with PCOS show a male-like pattern in certain fat tissue gene expressions.
research Management of Hirsutism
Antiandrogens, particularly flutamide and CPA, are most effective for treating hirsutism, with long-term use needed for best results.
research Evaluation of Female Fertility: AMH and Ovarian Reserve Testing

research Prevalence of Androgenic Alopecia in Patients with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and Characterization of Associated Clinical and Biochemical Features
Women with PCOS often have hair loss, which is linked to acne or excess body hair but not to worse hormone or metabolic issues.
research Idiopathic Hirsutism: Androgen Role and Treatment Options
The document concludes that more research is needed to understand excessive hair growth in women with normal hormone levels and regular ovulation.
research Hormonal Treatment of Acne Vulgaris: An Update
Hormonal treatments are effective for severe or persistent acne and should be used with other acne therapies, considering potential side effects.
research Testosterone Therapy for Sexual Dysfunction in Postmenopausal Women

research Gonadal Dysgenesis and Bone Metabolism
Gonadal dysgenesis, like Turner's and Klinefelter's syndromes, negatively affects bone health, but hormone treatments can help.
research Androgen Receptor Gene CAG Repeat Polymorphism in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Longer CAG repeat lengths in the androgen receptor gene are linked to higher testosterone levels in women with PCOS.
