Background: Subjects with metabolic syndrome and obesity have higher levels of inflammation with depression of the vitamin D (VD) hydroxylase/metabolising genes () required to convert VD consumed in the diet into 25(OH)VD. Compared with total 25(OH)VD levels, measurement of bioavailable 25(OH)VD is a better method to determine the beneficial effect of VD.
Objective: This study investigates whether cosupplementation with VD and L-cysteine (LC), which downregulates inflammation and upregulates VD-regulating genes, provides a better therapeutic benefit than supplementation with VD-alone in African Americans (AA).

This study compared the efficacy and safety of glucogan-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP1RAs) combined with metformin versus metformin alone in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). A systematic search of "PubMed", "EMBASE", "Cochrane Library", and "Web of Science", "Google Scholar" was conducted up to September 2024. Studies were included if they were RCTs investigating the combination of GLP1RAs and metformin in women diagnosed with PCOS.

Background: To investigate the correlation between the variations of cortisol and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) and sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) levels with insulin resistance and glucolipid metabolism in gestational glucose diabetics.
Methods: The study included 110 pregnant women diagnosed with gestational diabetes mellitus in the GDM group, and 130 healthy pregnant women in the control group. Data collection, examination of relevant indexes, and comparison of differences in indexes between groups were conducted.

Introduction: Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a prevalent endocrine disorder characterized by hyperandrogenism, insulin resistance, and menstrual irregularities, leading to infertility in many women. Emerging evidence suggests intermittent fasting (IF), particularly time-restricted feeding (TRF), may improve reproductive and metabolic outcomes in women with PCOS by addressing core pathophysiological mechanisms. This systematic review examines the impact of IF on fertility and reproductive hormones in women with PCOS.

Background/objectives: Severe obesity (BMI > 40 kg/m) has a severe influence on vascular health and reproduction. This study looks at how bariatric surgery affects endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) expression and reproductive hormone regulation across different follicle-stimulating hormone receptor (FSHR) polymorphism groups in women with extreme obesity.
Methods: Twenty-nine women with extreme obesity had bariatric surgery.
