This study supports evaluating metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance in young males with advanced androgenic alopecia to potentially reduce future cardiovascular and type 2 diabetes risks.

This review highlights the need for methodologies to understand and quantify drug penetration into hair follicles as significant drug pathways, noting this area lacks comprehensive articles and reports no new results.

This review summarizes evidence suggesting that metabolism actively influences stem cell fate in intestinal and hair follicle stem cells, rather than being a mere environmental byproduct.

Metformin improves menstrual cycles and hormone levels in women with PCOS, mostly within the first 6 months.

In this study, elevated afamin concentrations were associated with metabolic syndrome in young women, particularly those with insulin resistance, suggesting a potential predictive role for afamin in metabolic risk assessment.

This study found that St. John's wort treatment for two weeks induced finasteride metabolism and reduced its plasma exposure in healthy men.

In this study, human scalp hair grafted onto nude mice accurately reflected methyl mercury exposure, demonstrating its potential as a research model for monitoring mercury incorporation into human hair.

This study found that women with polycystic ovary syndrome phenotypes A and B had the highest prevalence of metabolic syndrome, and that the visceral adiposity index may help predict metabolic risk.

People with psoriasis are more likely to have Metabolic Syndrome than those without psoriasis.

The study found that among young Brazilian women, the likelihood of metabolic syndrome in those with PCOS is strongly associated with BMI and the phenotype involving menstrual irregularity and hyperandrogenism.

This study found that men aged 50 and older with clinical benign prostatic hyperplasia have a significantly higher prevalence of metabolic syndrome than those without the condition in the UK primary care population.

This study found no significant differences in metabolic characteristics between different phenotypes of PCOS or between women with PCOS and healthy controls among reproductive-aged Iranian women.

This review discusses the negative health impacts of testosterone deficiency and the potential adverse effects of 5α-reductase inhibitors, emphasizing the need for patient-physician discussions regarding these treatments.

This study found that different species metabolized minoxidil into various products, with monkeys and humans showing similar profiles primarily excreting a glucuronide conjugate, while rats and dogs showed distinct differences.

This study found that human beard hair follicles metabolize dehydroepiandrosterone into various compounds at significantly higher rates than those reported for human skin, suggesting unique metabolic processes in hair follicles.

This article reviews the clinical and histological features of acanthosis nigricans and its associations with insulin resistance and other conditions, but highlights the need for more research on its classification, severity assessment, and treatment options.

This review explores the relationship between androgenetic alopecia and metabolic syndrome, suggesting an association that supports considering cardiovascular risk assessments in patients with this type of hair loss.

This study found that injecting L- or DL-Methionine into chick embryos increased feather growth and follicle development by activating the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, with no difference between the two methionine forms.

In this study, a low-methionine diet significantly improved the health and physical traits of cystathionine β-synthase-deficient mice, contrasting with negative effects on mice with partial deficiency.

This study observed that methotrexate combined with low- to moderate-dose oral corticosteroids may effectively treat severe alopecia areata, though long-term maintenance is often necessary due to relapse after tapering.

This study found a higher prevalence of metabolic syndrome in patients with lichen planus, especially those with mucosal involvement, which is associated with increased cardiovascular and diabetes risk.

This study found that hair follicles from balding men show significant metabolic differences compared to those from non-balding individuals, particularly in their ability to process dehydroepiandrosterone.

In this study, methylprednisolone pulse therapy was found to be effective for severe alopecia areata patients, especially those with a short disease duration or plurifocal type.

This study found that photodynamic therapy with methyl 5-aminolevulinic acid was ineffective for treating alopecia totalis, even with microneedle rolling to enhance drug delivery.

This study found that metformin did not prevent gentamicin-induced hearing loss and even worsened auditory threshold shifts and caused adverse effects at higher doses in guinea pigs.

In this study, an innovative composite hydrogel incorporating methylene blue-loaded nanoparticles was developed for 3D-printed wound dressings, showing improved mechanical properties, excellent antibacterial effects, and enhanced skin healing in mice.

In this randomized trial, metformin and pioglitazone both improved certain clinical and metabolic indices in women with PCOS, with pioglitazone showing potential as an alternate treatment for those intolerant to metformin.

This review discusses emerging concepts in PCOS from the AEPCOS 2010 meeting and reports no clinical findings; it suggests that the transition of care in congenital adrenal hyperplasia could inform PCOS adolescent care.

Methotrexate can help some kids with severe hair loss regrow hair.

This article discusses the use of methotrexate for treating generalized pustular psoriasis in a 2-year-old child, providing a specific case study but reporting no new clinical results.
