Cerebrovascular Function in Women With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: A Pilot Multi‐Parameter Magnetic Resonance Imaging Study

open access: yesClinical Endocrinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is associated with an increased risk of cerebrovascular disease, but the effects on cerebrovascular function are unknown. In this pilot study, we sought to compare cerebrovascular perfusion, pulsatility, reactivity and metabolism between women with PCOS and healthy volunteers using MRI, and ...

Serum sex steroids, gonadotrophins and sex hormone-binding globulin in prostatic hyperplasia

open access: yesAnnals of Saudi Medicine, 2008
Background: Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) develops in elderly males when serum androgens are relatively lower than in healthy younger males, but it is not well understood whether and how sex steroids are altered in prostatic hyperplasia. It is also

Glucocorticoids and HPA axis regulation in the stress–obesity connection: A comprehensive overview of biological, physiological and behavioural dimensions

open access: yesClinical Obesity, Volume 15, Issue 2, April 2025.
Summary Chronic stress, characterized by increased long‐term exposure to the glucocorticoid hormone cortisol, is increasingly linked to obesity development. Still, various knowledge gaps persist, including on underlying pathophysiological mechanisms. The aim of the current review is to provide the latest insights on the connection between stress and ...

Interactive online calculator for estimation of muscle and hepatic insulin sensitivity in adults with Type 1 diabetes using clinical and research biomarkers

open access: yesDiabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims Impaired insulin sensitivity is an under‐recognised risk in Type 1 diabetes but is challenging to measure with ‘gold‐standard’ euglycaemic clamps. Adding stable‐isotope glucose distinguishes hepatic and muscle insulin action (assessed by endogenous glucose production [EGP] and glucose infusion rate [GIR], respectively).

Salivary testosterone measurement in women with and without polycystic ovary syndrome [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Clinical and/or biochemical hyperandrogenism is one of the diagnostic criteria for PCOS. An evaluation of the role of salivary testosterone (salT) and androstenedione (salA) for the diagnosis of PCOS was undertaken in a cross sectional study involving 65

The potential value of cytokine, cortisol and vitamin D profiles in foals from birth to weaning for respiratory disease prediction on a farm endemic for Rhodococcus equi pneumonia

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Rhodococcus equi causes pneumonia in young foals, but disease susceptibility and severity vary. Cortisol and vitamin D modulate immune responses and cytokine production during bacterial infection, and altered concentrations are associated with sepsis in neonatal foals. We hypothesised an age and disease effect on circulating steroid
