research The Pathophysiology of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Insulin resistance is a key factor in polycystic ovary syndrome, but genetics may also contribute.
research A Prospective Study of the Prevalence of Nonclassical Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia Among Women Presenting with Hyperandrogenic Symptoms and Signs
About 2.2% of women with symptoms of high male hormones have a mild form of congenital adrenal hyperplasia, and measuring a specific hormone level can accurately diagnose it.
research Adult Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Begins in Childhood
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome likely starts in childhood and may be genetic and influenced by early hormone exposure.
research Prevalence of Hyperandrogenemia in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Diagnosed by the National Institutes of Health 1990 Criteria
Most women with PCOS have high levels of male hormones, and free testosterone is the best marker for this.
research The Effect of Metformin on Hirsutism in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Metformin improves hair growth and menstrual frequency in women with PCOS and hirsutism.
research Comparison of Finasteride Versus Spironolactone in the Treatment of Idiopathic Hirsutism
Finasteride reduces hair growth better, but spironolactone has more side effects.
research Comparison of Finasteride Versus Flutamide in the Treatment of Hirsutism
Finasteride is a safe, effective treatment for hirsutism with fewer side effects.
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 Ovarian Hypertension: Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome is linked to higher risk of hypertension and heart disease.
research Use of Cyproterone Acetate, Finasteride, and Spironolactone to Treat Idiopathic Hirsutism
All three treatments reduce hirsutism, but spironolactone works best long-term.
research Topical Minoxidil in Alopecia Areata
Minoxidil helps hair regrowth in alopecia areata safely.
research Differential Expression of miR-93 and miR-21 in Granulosa Cells and Follicular Fluid of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Associating with Different Phenotypes
The study found that certain microRNAs are higher in the cells and lower in the fluid of women with a specific type of polycystic ovary syndrome, and one microRNA could potentially help diagnose the condition.
research Evaluation of Female Fertility: AMH and Ovarian Reserve Testing
AMH helps estimate ovarian reserve but doesn't predict pregnancy chances; age is more important.
research Association of Biochemical Hyperandrogenism with Type 2 Diabetes and Obesity in Chinese Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
High androgen levels in Chinese women with PCOS are linked to a higher risk of diabetes and obesity.
research Comparison of High-Dose Finasteride (5 mg/day) Versus Low-Dose Finasteride (2.5 mg/day) in the Treatment of Hirsutism
Low-dose finasteride effectively treats hirsutism, is safe, and cost-effective.
research Finasteride in the Treatment of Hirsutism: New Therapeutic Perspectives
Finasteride effectively treats hirsutism in women, but more research needed for long-term results.
research Prevalence of CYP21 Mutations and IRS1 Variant Among Women With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and Adrenal Androgen Excess
Some women with PCOS have CYP21 mutations and IRS1 variants, but these genetic factors are not major contributors to PCOS.
research Vitamin D Receptor Polymorphisms and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: A Systematic Review
The review found no clear link between vitamin D receptor gene variations and polycystic ovary syndrome.
research Prevalence of Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and Its Correlation with Metabolic Syndrome
Women with PCOS are more likely to have fatty liver disease and worse metabolic health.
research Metabolic Syndrome and Metabolic Risk Profile According to Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Phenotype
Women with severe types of PCOS are more likely to have metabolic syndrome, and belly fat is a key predictor of this risk.
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.
research Alterations in Androgen Conjugate Levels in Women and Men with Alopecia
People with hair loss may have different levels of certain hormones due to changes in hormone processing.
research Urban Rural Comparisons of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Burden Among Adolescent Girls in a Hospital Setting in India
More adolescent girls in urban areas of India have Polycystic Ovary Syndrome compared to those in rural areas.
research A Variant of the Glucocorticoid Receptor Gene Is Not Associated with Adrenal Androgen Excess in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
The N363S gene variant does not cause higher adrenal androgen levels in women with polycystic ovary syndrome.
research Medical Treatment of Hirsutism in Women
Treating hirsutism in women often requires a mix of medications and cosmetic methods for best results.
research The Effect of Alfacalcidiol and Metformin on Phenotype Manifestations in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome – A Preliminary Study
Alfacalcidiol and metformin together lowered testosterone in women with PCOS, but did not significantly improve acne, hair growth, or pregnancy rates.
research Asymptomatic Hyperprolactinemia Resulting from Macroprolactinemia
Some patients with high prolactin levels don't show symptoms because they have a form of the hormone that's less active.
research Accuracy of Anti-Müllerian Hormone and Total Follicle Count to Diagnose Polycystic Ovary Syndrome in Reproductive Women
AMH is a good marker for diagnosing PCOS, but global standards are needed.
research Anti-Müllerian Hormone Gene Polymorphism Is Associated With Androgen Levels in Chinese Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Patients With Insulin Resistance
Certain gene variations are linked to higher male hormone levels in Chinese women with PCOS and insulin resistance.
