This study found that hypertensive patients with severe androgenic alopecia exhibited impaired coronary microcirculation, suggesting they may face increased cardiovascular risk.

This case report describes a man who ingested a large amount of topical minoxidil solution and experienced serious and prolonged cardiovascular effects despite rapidly decreasing serum concentration levels.

This review reported that tripeptides, such as GHK and KdPT, show promise in enhancing wound healing through multiple mechanisms, including promoting cell migration, collagen deposition, and angiogenesis, while offering antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory benefits for both acute and chronic wounds.

This study found that serum steroid profiling, particularly 11-deoxycortisol, can effectively differentiate between ACC and ACA, while considering sex differences and functional status for other steroids is important.

This study found that patients with hidradenitis suppurativa had lower trabecular bone score and total hip bone mineral density compared to controls, with a high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency.

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.

This study found that ferritin levels were positively associated with insulin resistance in non-diabetic Korean men and postmenopausal women, but not in premenopausal women.

This chapter reviews existing knowledge about melatonin's MT₁ and MT₂ receptors in human tissues, discussing their established and potential functions, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that renin and d-dimer levels were significantly higher in PCOS patients, particularly those also infected with COVID-19, compared to non-PCOS women.

This study found no association between serum concentrations of irisin or GIP and BMI in women with or without PCOS.

This study found that patients experiencing hair loss had significantly lower serum levels of zinc and copper compared to healthy controls.

This study suggests that sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors, alone or with metformin or GLP1RA, may improve metabolic and hormonal parameters in women with polycystic ovary syndrome.

This review discusses the potential association between androgenetic alopecia and metabolic syndrome, and notes AGA might be linked to arterial stiffness; it reports no new clinical findings and calls for further research.

In this study, lichen planus was associated with increased carotid intima media thickness, especially with longer disease duration, but was not an independent predictor of this condition.

This study found that combining diagonal earlobe crease with lipoprotein(a) provides strong diagnostic value for coronary heart disease.

This research found significant associations between gut microbiome composition and 14 out of 37 examined health conditions, suggesting that increased microbial abundance often aligns with favorable health states.

This study found that among men with serum testosterone levels below 3.33 ng/mL, the prevalence of kidney stones was significantly higher, independent of other metabolic factors.

This study found that patients with Alopecia Areata, particularly those with severe forms, exhibited higher triglycerides, cholesterol, and low-density lipoproteins, suggesting increased cardiovascular risk factors.

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 metabolic syndrome was more prevalent among androgenetic alopecia patients than controls, with higher serum RANTES levels suggesting a potential role in the syndrome's pathogenesis.

This review discusses the cardiovascular risks and events associated with anabolic-androgenic steroid use, suggesting the need for further research on some effects.

In this study, lower serum adiponectin levels and altered lipid profiles were observed in patients with periorbital melanosis, suggesting an association with metabolic syndrome.

This study found no statistically significant protective effect of antioxidant therapy against acute mountain sickness, though results were inconclusive due to limited data and methodological variability.

This study identified a higher basal metabolic rate as an independent and causally relevant risk factor for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease in the Chinese population, noting that sex-specific effects may require tailored management strategies.

This cross-sectional study reported that adults with greater hair loss severity had significantly higher odds of hypertension, diabetes, and cardiometabolic multimorbidity, suggesting a possible link between hair loss and cardiometabolic health.

This study found that elevated CgA levels in PCOS are associated with obesity, insulin resistance, and low-grade inflammation, suggesting CgA may be a novel biomarker for metabolic risk stratification in PCOS.

This study observed that in individuals with stroke, the GNRI has a significant negative association with FI and FISI, mediated by the SII index and OBS, suggesting the importance of anti-inflammatory and antioxidant strategies to reduce FI risk.

This study investigates the complex impact of bariatric surgery on skin disorders, reporting improvements in conditions like acanthosis nigricans and psoriasis, while new issues such as xeroderma and alopecia may also emerge postoperatively.

This study observed that patients with androgenetic alopecia in a western Indian population had a significantly higher prevalence of metabolic syndrome compared to a matched control group, suggesting that individuals with this type of hair loss may benefit from screening for metabolic syndrome.

This study found that while men's facial appearance, specifically attractiveness and masculinity, correlated with cardiometabolic indicators like insulin resistance and triglycerides, these links disappeared after adjusting for factors such as age, adiposity, and testosterone levels, suggesting that facial cues do not reliably indicate metabolic health.
