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 Regulation of Human Dermal Papilla Cell Production of Insulin-Like Growth Factor Binding Protein-3 by Retinoic Acid, Glucocorticoids, and Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1
Retinoic acid, glucocorticoids, and IGF1 increase IGFBP-3 production in human dermal papilla cells, affecting hair growth.
research Insulin Resistance and Elevated Androgen Levels: A Major Cause of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Insulin resistance and high male hormone levels are major causes of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.
research Androgenetic Alopecia and Insulin Resistance: Are They Truly Associated?
No true link between AGA and insulin resistance, but coexistence may worsen AGA.
research When Should an Insulin Sensitizing Agent Be Used in the Treatment of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome?
Metformin should be used for PCOS mainly in those with glucose intolerance, and has limited benefits for infertility or hirsutism.
research Higher PDCD4 Expression Is Associated With Obesity, Insulin Resistance, Lipid Metabolism Disorders, And Granulosa Cell Apoptosis In Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

research L-Ascorbic Acid 2-Phosphate Promotes Elongation of Hair Shafts via the Secretion of Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1 from Dermal Papilla Cells Through Phosphatidylinositol 3-Kinase
Vitamin C derivative helps hair grow longer by making cells produce a growth factor through a specific cellular pathway.
research Afamin Serum Concentrations Are Associated With Insulin Resistance and Metabolic Syndrome in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
High afamin levels are linked to metabolic syndrome and may predict its development in women with insulin resistance.
research Increased Vibrissa Growth in Transgenic Mice Expressing Insulin-Like Growth Factor 1
IGF-1 increases whisker growth in transgenic mice.
research Dihydrotestosterone Inhibits Hair Growth in Mice by Inhibiting Insulin-Like Growth Factor-I Production in Dermal Papillae
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) stops hair growth in mice by lowering a growth factor important for hair.
research A Clinical Approach to Severe Insulin Resistance
Severe insulin resistance can be managed with medication, lifestyle changes, and treatment for related conditions.
research Use of Insulin-Sensitizing Agents in Patients With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Insulin-sensitizing drugs like metformin can help with ovulation, weight loss, and lower testosterone in some women with PCOS.
research UHPLC/Q-TOFMS-Based Plasma Metabolomics of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Patients With and Without Insulin Resistance
The research found different metabolism changes in PCOS patients and suggested new potential markers for diagnosing PCOS with or without insulin resistance.
