Study on the Effects and Mechanisms of Sea Buckthorn Fruit Pulp in Improving Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
Sea buckthorn pulp improves metabolic and reproductive dysfunction in a letrozole‐induced PCOS mouse model and is associated with modulation of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway. ABSTRACT Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine and metabolic disorder characterized by ovarian dysfunction, hyperandrogenism, and insulin resistance.

Association of Testosterone With Lean Soft Tissue and Handgrip Strength Across Middle‐Aged Men

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, Volume 17, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Testosterone declines by 0.4%–2% annually after the age of 30 and is potentially linked with muscle mass and strength. This study examined how testosterone levels are associated with handgrip strength (HGS) and appendicular lean soft tissue index (ALSTI) in men aged 40–49 and 50–59 years.

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 (
