,
August 2018 in “Clinical Endocrinology” This study found that among women with polycystic ovary syndrome, insulin resistance was more strongly associated with cardio-metabolic abnormalities than β-cell dysfunction, and they showed different correlations with obesity.
November 2025 in “Fertility Gynecology and Andrology” This study highlights that polycystic ovary syndrome develops through genetic and environmental factors, with insulin resistance as a key mechanism, impacting the risk of metabolic and cardiovascular conditions.
18 citations
,
December 2010 in “The Journal of Steroid Biochemistry and Molecular Biology” 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.
October 2018 in “Exercise Biochemistry Review” In this mouse study, aerobic exercise was found to protect the intestinal mucosal barrier in obstructive jaundice by inhibiting the HMGB1 / TLR4 / NF-κB signaling pathway through the H2S / CSE system.
April 2018 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” In this study, researchers found that stabilizing the protein HIF1A in hair follicles promotes glycolysis over oxidative phosphorylation, potentially reducing oxidative stress and supporting hair growth.
2 citations
,
November 2022 in “Bioscience Reports” This review explores the similarities between polycystic ovary syndrome and hemochromatosis in terms of iron overload and suggests that addressing gut dysbiosis might help manage iron levels in these conditions.
September 2017 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” This study suggests that the outer root sheath of human hair follicles may act as a "metabolic center," capable of synthesizing glucose from lactate, which supports glycogen metabolism.
