January 2024 in “ASEAN Journal of Psychiatry” In this study, researchers in Baghdad observed that women with PCOS who tested positive for CagA-IgG, a marker for H. pylori infection, showed significantly elevated insulin resistance and fasting blood sugar levels, regardless of metformin treatment, compared to controls.
July 2005 in “TSpace (University of Toronto)” This study found that ghrelin and its receptor mRNA expression levels in follicular fluid cells are not significantly different between PCOS and non-PCOS patients, suggesting ghrelin may not play a role in PCOS pathogenesis.
October 2025 in “International Journal of Dermatology” This review suggests weak associations between GLP-1 receptor agonists and increased reports of hair loss, particularly with semaglutide and tirzepatide, while cases of hair regrowth were also occasionally documented.

September 2024 in “Cardiovascular Drugs and Therapy” This study found that while glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists report more incidents of suicide, hair loss, and aspiration compared to some other antidiabetic drugs, they did not meet the threshold for positive safety signals.
October 2023 in “Research Square (Research Square)” This study demonstrated that polynucleotide gel injections effectively reduced hair shedding and increased hair thickness in both men and women with androgenetic alopecia, while maintaining a high safety profile and patient satisfaction.
In this case report, researchers observed that a malnourished male patient developed pseudoglucagonoma syndrome, characterized by necrolytic migratory erythema and diffuse hair loss, following Frey's surgery, which rapidly improved with enhanced nutrition.
October 2023 in “International Journal of Science and Research (IJSR)” This paper describes Grahams Little Piccardi Lassueur Syndrome, a rare type of Lichen Planopilaris that causes different types of alopecia and distinctive skin papules, primarily affecting females aged 40 to 70, and notes the current challenges in treatment options, particularly once scarring occurs.
