Sex Hormones and the Risk of Nasal Polyps: A Two‐Sample Mendelian Randomization Study

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, Volume 12, Issue 4, Page 424-431, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective The pathophysiological roles of sex hormones in airway inflammation have drawn much attention recently. We aimed to explore the causal effect of sex hormones on chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) and nasal polyps (NP) via a Mendelian randomization (MR) study.

Insulin Resistance Emerges Early After Glucocorticoid Treatment in Adult Patients With 21‐Hydroxylase Deficiency

Journal of Diabetes, Volume 18, Issue 8, August 2026.
In adults with 21‐hydroxylase deficiency, ongoing glucocorticoid therapy, especially dexamethasone, was the main risk factor for insulin resistance. New‐onset insulin resistance emerged early, highlighting the need for metabolic monitoring within the first 1–2 years of treatment. ABSTRACT Background Metabolic disorders, particularly insulin resistance (

Biofluid Biomarkers of Cognitive Functioning in Bipolar Disorder: A Systematic Review by the Targeting Cognition and Older‐Age Bipolar Disorder ISBD Task Forces

Bipolar Disorders, Volume 28, Issue 5, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Cognitive impairment is common in bipolar disorder (BD), but the underlying pathophysiology remains unclear. This systematic review aimed to (1) summarize all literature describing relationships of biofluid biomarkers and cognition in BD and (2) identify which biofluid biomarkers correlate most consistently with cognition in BD ...

Clinical Implications and Research Progress of Salivary Biomarkers for Endocrine and Metabolic Disorders

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, Volume 28, Issue 8, Page 6561-6575, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Aims Similar to blood, saliva contains a broad range of biomarkers and may offer a non‐invasive, repeatable specimen for endocrine and metabolic assessment. This review aims to synthesise and evaluate recent advances in the clinical translation of salivary biomarkers, while providing a critical assessment of the diagnostic reliability and ...

Cholesterol sulfate in human physiology: what's it all about?

Journal of Lipid Research, 2003
Cholesterol sulfate is quantitatively the most important known sterol sulfate in human plasma, where it is present in a concentration that overlaps that of the other abundant circulating steroid sulfate, dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) sulfate.

Short‐Term Combined Treatment With Tirzepatide and Metformin for Overweight/Obese Chinese Women With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: A Prospective, Open‐Label, Randomised Controlled Trial

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, Volume 28, Issue 8, Page 7380-7392, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Aims This study aimed to assess the effects of low‐dose tirzepatide combined with metformin (COM) versus metformin (MET) monotherapy in overweight/obese women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Materials and Methods Sixty overweight/obese women with PCOS were randomised to the MET group (1000 mg twice daily [BID]) or the COM group (MET ...

Steroidogenic compensation and lipid deficiency with enhanced NAD+ salvage in small‐for‐gestational‐age placenta

The FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 15, Page 4554-4577, August 2026.
Fetal growth restriction is associated with placental metabolic adaptations. In small‐for‐gestational‐age placenta (SGA), cholesterol receptors and steroidogenic enzymes are upregulated, enhancing steroidogenesis. NAD salvage pathway is also increased to support NADP+/NADPH requirements.

Physiological and Behavioural Characterisation of a Novel Steroid Sulfatase‐Deficient Mouse

Genes, Brain and Behavior, Volume 25, Issue 4, August 2026.
STS‐deficient mice are grossly healthy and breed as expected, but are mildly hyperactive and have heavier hearts compared with sex‐matched wildtype controls. ABSTRACT Steroid sulfatase (STS) cleaves sulphate groups from steroid hormones. In humans, STS deficiency is associated with X‐linked ichthyosis, an increased predisposition to neurodevelopmental ...
