In this study, serum PSA levels were higher in women with PCOS, suggesting it may serve as a marker for hyperandrogenism in this condition.

This study found that eight weeks of finasteride treatment in rats decreased protein synthesis and increased autophagic degradation in skeletal muscle, while resistance exercise may mitigate these effects.

Among young rats, this study found that a liquid protein diet significantly affects body condition but has minimal impact on gingival collagen metabolism.

This case report describes a 14-year-old girl with coeliac disease who presented with severe hypercalcaemia due to a parathyroid adenoma, which resolved after its excision.

This study reported that severe hypothyroidism in two pediatric patients was associated with transient liver and kidney dysfunction, which resolved after beginning levothyroxine treatment.

This study found that in a mouse model of Leigh syndrome, rapamycin alters brain proteome and may extend survival by targeting protein kinase C.

This review discusses the challenges in measuring testosterone for assessing androgen excess in women and emphasizes the importance of quality control in laboratory methods, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study found that hyperandrogenemia in Chinese women with PCOS is associated with higher risks of type 2 diabetes and obesity, suggesting it should be prioritized in managing PCOS-related infertility.

In this study, experimentally induced weight loss in merino sheep led to a decrease in wool fiber diameter and increased expression of certain high sulfur and glycine-tyrosine proteins, potentially impacting wool quality and industry preferences.

In this case study, an 8-day-old neonate with holocarboxylase synthetase deficiency showed dramatic improvement in lactic acidosis and overall clinical condition following biotin mega-dose therapy, highlighting the importance of early genetic testing and timely treatment in such metabolic disorders.

In this study, a dog with alopecia and a Sertoli cell tumor showed hyperprogesteronemia, and its hair regrew after castration, with progesterone levels reducing toward normal.

This case presentation reported worsening hyperglycemia in a diabetic male patient after starting finasteride, suggesting that 5-alpha reductase inhibitors may induce hyperglycemia through insulin resistance and liver disturbances in some individuals.

This study found that overexpression of erythropoietin disrupted hair growth in mice by affecting dermal fat lipogenesis and lipolysis, leading to poor hair follicle development and truncal alopecia.

This review examines the role of certain proteins in the pathogenesis of polycystic ovary syndrome and reports no new results, emphasizing the potential for future diagnostic and therapeutic advancements.

Malnutrition severely harms growth and development in young baboons.

This study found that hair samples from children with kwashiorkor or marasmic kwashiorkor had about 20% less cystine compared to one child with adequate protein nutrition, suggesting the need for further research.

This study observed that 13 out of 38 children with methylmalonic and propionic acidaemia exhibited specific cutaneous manifestations, suggesting these conditions may include skin symptoms more often than previously thought.

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 study identified that biotin ingestion led to interference in immunoassay results, falsely indicating high testosterone and insulin levels in a 28-year-old female patient, thus complicating her clinical assessment and treatment planning until recognized and resolved.

This case report describes an adolescent with coeliac disease presenting severe hypercalcaemia from a parathyroid adenoma, suggesting possible links between coeliac disease and hyperparathyroidism.

This study reports that bioactive peptides derived from food proteins may lower serum cholesterol and exhibit antihypertensive and immunostimulating effects, suggesting potential in preventing lifestyle-related diseases.

This study found that abnormal carbohydrate metabolism linked to increased serum fasting insulin levels is associated with 20% of women with polycystic ovary syndrome, and these women exhibit more symptoms compared to those with normal insulin levels.

This study found that while serum prolactin levels were higher in women with hirsutism, the relationship between prolactin levels and hirsutism severity was not statistically significant.

This case report describes a 27-year-old man hospitalized with fatigue, myalgias, weakness, profound weight loss, and abnormal liver function, leading to a diagnosis after chest imaging revealed pneumomediastinum.

This study developed an ultrahigh-power sonicator to improve protein extraction from hair shafts, followed by advanced proteomic analysis, identifying 239 differentially expressed proteins in fetal growth restriction cases compared to healthy controls, which were validated as potential biomarkers for perinatal diagnostics.

This case report suggests that isolated amylase deficiency can lead to failure to thrive in children, and pancreatic enzyme supplementation may improve associated symptoms.

This study reported that peginterferon alpha-2a showed high early and sustained virologic response rates in Albanian hemodialyzed patients with hepatitis C, despite causing several adverse effects.

This report discusses a late-onset case of Cronkhite-Canada syndrome that improved with prednisone treatment, highlighting the importance of early diagnosis to reduce life-threatening complications.

In this case report, the researchers emphasize the importance of regular prostate exams and PSA tests for diabetic men, including those who are hypogonadal, because prostate cancer development is linked to intraprostatic dihydrotestosterone levels, not serum testosterone levels.
