This study observed that women with PCOS exhibited higher levels of triglycerides, fasting insulin, HOMA-IR, total testosterone, DHEAS, and LH/FSH ratio, and lower HDL cholesterol compared to healthy controls, with these markers varying across different PCOS phenotypes.

This study found that the PON1 192 R allele was associated with an increased risk of psoriasis and altered lipid profiles in patients from Western Mexico.

This study found that abnormal serum lipid levels were prevalent among male patients with androgenetic alopecia, with high triglycerides and low HDL observed frequently.

This study found that a low dose of flutamide, both alone and combined with an oral contraceptive, effectively reduced hirsutism in women, with the combination showing more lasting effects post-treatment.

This paper discusses the need for comprehensive evaluation and management of lean polycystic ovary syndrome patients due to their unique risks, but reports no new results.

This study found that women with polycystic ovary syndrome have higher global adiposity and increased visceral fat, particularly in the ip and mesenteric depots, compared to women without androgen excess.

This review discusses the safety of testosterone therapy for postmenopausal women and concludes that, aside from hirsutism and acne, it appears safe at physiological doses for several years, though more long-term studies are needed.

In this study, transgender adolescents treated with testosterone for a median of 12 months experienced effective virilization, including voice deepening and increased hair growth, but also showed decreased HDL cholesterol and BMD z-scores, and increased hematocrit, with no short-term safety issues reported.

This study found that Czech women with polycystic ovary syndrome in their thirties had a significantly worse cardiovascular risk profile compared to a control group, independent of obesity.

This study found that women with polycystic ovary syndrome have significantly higher plasma levels of thrombin-activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor and other hemostatic markers compared to age- and BMI-matched healthy controls.

This meta-analysis confirmed associations between some androgenic and metabolic parameters in women with PCOS, suggesting that these measurements might help predict metabolic risk in this population.

This study found that lipin 1β expression in both visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissue is significantly lower in PCOS patients compared to controls, suggesting its involvement in the pathogenesis of insulin resistance.

The authors concluded that increased expression of the HSD11B1 gene in adipose tissue correlates with obesity markers and predicts insulin resistance, but this association is independent of polycystic ovary syndrome when adiposity is controlled for.

This meta-analysis found that patients with androgenetic alopecia have significantly abnormal lipid profiles, which could contribute to the link between this condition and cardiovascular diseases.

This study found that irregular menstrual cycles in Brazilian adolescents were significantly associated with a higher occurrence of metabolic syndrome and polycystic ovary syndrome indicators.

This study found that among women with polycystic ovary syndrome, higher levels of the hormones estrone and free testosterone were associated with an increased cardiometabolic risk, especially in those who were overweight or obese.

This review examines the scientific evidence on the short-term safety of testosterone therapy for treating hypoactive sexual desire disorder in women, without presenting new clinical results.

This review discusses the impact of testosterone therapy on postmenopausal women's sexual function and well-being but notes a lack of long-term safety studies and debates on defining androgen insufficiency.

This study found that overweight women with polycystic ovary syndrome carrying the HSD3B1 1245C allele had an increased presence of female pattern hair loss compared to those with the wild-type genotype.

This study found that premenopausal women with female pattern hair loss had a higher prevalence of metabolic syndrome compared to healthy controls.

This study demonstrated a significant association between high lipid accumulation product (LAP) and hirsutism in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

In this study, women with androgenetic alopecia showed higher cholesterol levels and carotid artery thickness, suggesting a potential link between female AGA and cardiovascular disease.

This study found a significant association between androgenetic alopecia and metabolic syndrome, highlighting high-density lipoprotein cholesterol as a particularly important factor.

In this study, HIIT increased adiponectin levels and improved cholesterol profiles in women with PCOS, but did not change leptin or vaspin levels.

This article discusses laboratory and physical markers that may help detect androgenic anabolic steroid abuse in athletes and reports no new primary research results.

This study found that women with polycystic ovary syndrome in the Black Sea Region had higher levels of androgens, obesity, and insulin resistance, increasing their risk of metabolic syndrome compared to healthy women.

This study found that curcumin may improve glycemic control and certain aspects of lipid metabolism in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome.

In this case-control study, female patients with early onset androgenetic alopecia had higher triglycerides, total cholesterol, and LDL-C levels, and lower HDL-C levels compared to females with other skin diseases.

In this case-control study, researchers found that serum apelin-12 levels were significantly higher in acne patients and correlated with acne severity, BMI, insulin resistance, and inflammation, suggesting that managing insulin resistance could be important for acne treatment.

This study assessed the nutritional status of emerging adult women with PCOS and found that while their body measurements were higher than standard, their mean biochemical parameters were within the normal range.
