New Data Suggest 2 Distinct Subtypes of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
A genetic analysis of nearly 900 women with polycystic ovary syndrome identified 2 distinct subtypes of the disease with unique genetic variants.
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Effects of Insulin Sensitizers on Hormonal and Metabolic Parameters in PCOS
Combination therapy with insulin sensitizers may be superior to monotherapy for improvement of hyperandrogenemia and menstrual recovery in polycystic ovary syndrome.
Mindful Yoga May Lower Testosterone Levels in Women With PCOS
Mindful thrice-weekly yoga practice over 3 months may significantly lower free testosterone levels in women with polycystic ovary syndrome.
High Levels of Genetically Determined Testosterone Linked to Adverse Metabolic Effects in Women
Higher levels of testosterone are associated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes in women but play a protective role against type 2 diabetes in men.
High AMH Levels Associated With Preterm Delivery in Women With PCOS
The researchers aimed to identify the association between serum AMH levels and preterm delivery in women with PCOS who underwent in vitro fertilization.
Health-Related Quality of Life Low for Women With PCOS
Women with polycystic ovary syndrome report low health-related quality of life beyond the reproductive years.
Metabolic Syndrome Severity Associated With Sleep Quality in Adolescents With PCOS
Metabolic syndrome is associated with poorer sleep in girls with polycystic ovary syndrome and obesity.
Lifestyle Intervention Improves Cardiometabolic Risk Factors in Women With PCOS
Researchers performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to summarize and update the evidence regarding the effects of lifestyle intervention, including diet, on cardiometabolic risk among overweight and obese women with PCOS.
Women With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome at Increased Risk for Bipolar Disorder
The study authors theorized that the interplay between inflammation and cytokines may influence mood and behavioral disturbances, which could explain the overlap between PCOS and bipolar disorder.
