In women, it is much clearer that androgen excess is linked to the burden of CVD risk factors

Women with PCOS have a sustained exposure to high physiologic androgen levels. This condition is associated with endothelial dysfunction, obesity and metabolic abnormalities such as insulin resistance and dyslipidaemia

For T treatment in aging women, the current data would suggest androgen excess has adverse effects on CVD risk factors, especially in women with diabetes

I love these review articles that highlight the metabolic differences of hormones in women versus men. The medical community as a whole doesn't seem to get this at all. The marketing-based medical community doesn't either.

Data review finds NAC improves pregnancy rates and ovulation rates in women with PCOS against placebo. Meta-analysis revealed limited studies on the topic. When compared to metformin, there was no difference found. Though, one wonders if attacking insulin resistance through proper diet and additional neutraceutical approach would negate that. The reason? NAC and metformin are working in different biochemical pathways. The authors here seem to not realize this. It appears that they think NAC and metormin are both working in the same manner, but they don't. The fact that there is still benefit found compared to placebo, despited the authors lack of understanding of what NAC is and does is a positive.

good review of the physiology behind adolescent PCOS. Though I hate this term because it treats PCOS as a diagnostic disease when it is simply a metabolically induced hormone balance.
