research Insulin Resistance and Beta-Cell Dysfunction and the Relationship with Cardio-Metabolic Disorders Among Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Women with PCOS have more insulin resistance and are more likely to have heart-related health issues, with insulin resistance being a bigger factor than β-cell problems.
research Exogenous Testosterone, Finasteride, and Castration Effects on Testosterone, Insulin, Zinc, and Chromium in Adult Male Rats
Testosterone and finasteride raise insulin and zinc, lower chromium in male rats.
research Polycystic Ovarian Morphology Is Associated with Hyperandrogenemia and Insulin Resistance in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Women with PCOS and polycystic ovaries have higher male hormone levels and more insulin resistance, especially if they are overweight.
research Insulin Resistance and Hair Disorders: Idiopathic Hirsutism and Androgenic Alopecia
There is no significant link between insulin resistance and certain hair disorders like idiopathic hirsutism and androgenic alopecia.
research Specific Interpretation of Hair Concentrations in Two Fatal Metformin Intoxication Cases
Hair analysis showed very high metformin levels in two fatal overdose cases, suggesting it's useful in forensics but sweat may affect results.
research Syndromes of Severe Insulin Resistance
The document concludes that Syndromes of Severe Insulin Resistance are rare disorders with limited treatment options.
research Intracrine Testosterone Activation in Human Pancreatic Beta-Cells Stimulates Insulin Secretion
Testosterone helps human pancreatic cells increase insulin release.
research Evaluation of Non-Activated and Activated PRP in Hair Loss Treatment: Role of Growth Factor and Cytokine Concentrations Obtained by Different Collection Systems
PRP treatment improves hair growth, and the device used can affect results, with some being more effective.
research Capillaroscopic Patterns in Patients with Systemic Sclerosis, Psoriasis, and Alopecia and Their Correlations with Serum Concentrations of Several Angiogenic Markers
Blood vessel patterns in skin diseases relate to certain blood markers in systemic sclerosis but not in psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis, and may indicate circulation issues in alopecia.
research Hyperandrogenemia in an Ethnically Heterogeneous Cohort of Midwestern United States Diabetic Pregnancies
Exposure to fatty acids significantly increased androgen levels in female dogs, suggesting a link to conditions like insulin resistance and PCOS.
research The Localization and Characterization of Insulin-Like Growth Factor-I Receptors and the Investigation of Melatonin Receptors on the Hair Follicles of Seasonal and Non-Seasonal Fiber-Producing Goats
Goat hair follicles have insulin-like growth factor-I receptors that might affect hair growth, but no melatonin receptors were found.
research The Possibilities of Using Chromium Salts as an Agent Supporting Treatment of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Chromium salts may help with insulin sensitivity in PCOS, but more research is needed to confirm their overall effectiveness and safety.
research Does Finasteride, As Well As Metformin, Improve Insulin Resistance In PCOS?
Both finasteride and metformin effectively treat PCOS by reducing hormone levels and insulin resistance.
research Clinical, Metabolic, and Endocrine Parameters in Response to Metformin and Lifestyle Intervention in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: A Randomized, Double-Blind, and Placebo-Controlled Trial
Metformin combined with lifestyle changes improves insulin resistance and reduces testosterone levels in women with PCOS more than lifestyle changes alone.
research Cardiometabolic Risk Factors in Rosuvastatin-Treated Men with Mixed Dyslipidemia and Early-Onset Androgenic Alopecia
Rosuvastatin improves lipid levels, reduces inflammation, but worsens insulin sensitivity in men with early-onset hair loss.
research Effects of Short Photoperiod on Cashmere Growth, Hormone Concentrations and Hair Follicle Development-Related Gene Expression in Cashmere Goats
Short photoperiods improve cashmere growth and quality in goats by changing hormone levels and gene expression.
research Association of Common Medication With Prostate-Specific Antigen Level in 45-Year-Old German Men: Results of the PROBASE Trial
Some common medications like metformin, insulin, and ACE inhibitors can lower PSA levels, while statins don't, and low dose finasteride significantly reduces PSA.
research Potential Role and Therapeutic Interests of Myo-Inositol in Metabolic Diseases
Myo-inositol supplements may improve insulin sensitivity and help with conditions like PCOS and gestational diabetes, but more research is needed.
research Evidence-Based and Potential Benefits of Metformin in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: A Comprehensive Review
Metformin helps with menstrual cycles and insulin levels in PCOS but is less effective for hair growth, diabetes prevention, and weight loss, and may improve fertility and reduce diabetes risk.
research Metformin: An Old Medication of New Fashion: Evolving New Molecular Mechanisms and Clinical Implications in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Metformin helps manage polycystic ovary syndrome by improving insulin resistance and ovulation, but more research is needed on its full effects.
research Role of Insulin, Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1, Hyperglycemic Food, and Milk Consumption in the Pathogenesis of Acne Vulgaris
Eating high-glycemic foods and drinking milk may worsen acne by increasing insulin and IGF-1 levels.
research Endothelial Dysfunction in PCOS: Role of Obesity and Adipose Hormones
Women with PCOS have heart-related issues not because of obesity, but due to insulin resistance and low adiponectin levels.
research Medical Treatment of Hirsutism
The conclusion is that the best initial treatment for hirsutism is usually oral contraceptives, with the addition of antiandrogens or insulin sensitizers if needed, and topical eflornithine or laser treatments as supplementary options.
research Autotaxin-LPA Signaling Contributes to Obesity-Induced Insulin Resistance in Muscle and Impairs Mitochondrial Metabolism
Blocking the ATX-LPA pathway may improve insulin sensitivity and mitochondrial function in obesity.
research Mechanisms Involved in the Relationship Between Vitamin D and Insulin Resistance: Impact on Clinical Practice
Vitamin D might help regulate insulin in the body, but taking Vitamin D supplements doesn't clearly prevent or improve type 2 diabetes. More research is needed.
research Exercise Activates the PI3K-AKT Signal Pathway by Decreasing the Expression of 5α-Reductase Type 1 in PCOS Rats
Exercise improves insulin sensitivity and hormone regulation in PCOS rats.
