The article looks into a 3-year retrospective longitudinal study showing accelerated bone loss in healthy patients with elevated serum iron levels. It references to a research by B.-J. Kim published in an issue of "Journal of Bone and Mineral Research." The findings suggest that serum ferritin as a risk biomarker of osteoporotic fracture and could be used to identify and manage high-risk population.

The article discusses research done by D. Sidhu and C. Naugler on nonfasting lipid levels as better predictors of cardiac events, published in a 2012 issue of "Archives of Internal Medicine."

The article discusses research done by S. N. Bhupathiraju and colleagues on the relationship between drinking coffee or tea and reduced risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), published in the "American Journal of Clinical Nutrition."

The article discusses research being done on diabetes, referencing the study "PTEN Mutations as a Cause of Constitutive Insulin Sensitivity and Obesity" by A. Pal and colleagues published in the "New England Journal of Medicine."

The article discusses research being done on female infertility, referencing the study "Hyperprolactinaemia-Induced Ovarian Acyclicity Is Reversed by Kisspeptin Administration" by C. Sonigo and colleagues published in the "Journal of Clinical Investigation."

The article discusses research being done on type 2 diabetes mellitus treatment, referencing the study "Targeting VEGF-B as a Novel Treatment for Insulin Resistance and Type 2 Diabetes" by C. E. Hagberg and colleagues published in "Nature."

The article focuses on a study published in "Nature" which found that cultured embryonic stem cells can generate functional thyroid tissue. Recombinant mouse embryonic stem cells were used in this study. According to the study, the cells formed structures similar to thyroid follicles when treated with recombinant thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH). The study also found reduced plasma TSH levels in the mice after tissue implantation.

The article discusses research being done on type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). It references the study "Screening for Type 2 Diabetes and Population Mortality Over 10 Years (ADDITION-Cambridge): A Cluster-Randomised Controlled Trial" by R. K. Simmons and colleagues in an issue of "Lancet." Information on the scope of the T2DM screening programme is provided. Results of the study showed that T2DM screening was not associated with a reduction in mortality or all-cause mortality.

The article presents a study which investigates the impact of β subunit of follicule-stimulation hormone (FSH- β) and follicule-stimulation hormone receptor (FSH-R) to male fertility. The study was conducted through the analysis of records of 1,213 men with case of infertility. The study reveals that FSH- β -211G>T polymorphism reduces FSH level, testicular volume, and sperm count.

The article focuses on the impact of glucocorticoid-induced Cushing syndrome in cardiovascular events. It says that researcher from the University of London shown that patients with glucocorticoid-induced Cushing syndrome is three times higher risk of experiencing cardiovascular events. It states that patient who undergoes glucocorticoid therapy has increased central adiposity which is associated with high blood pressure, low high-density lipoprotein (HDL) calories.

The article looks at research on the influence of white adipose tissue-secreted glypican-4 in insulin sensitivity referencing a study by S. Ussar and colleagues published in an issue of "Diabetes."

The article looks at research on the presence of autoantibodies against cardiac tissue-specific myosin-6 protein (MyHC-alpha) in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) following a cardiac event. It references a study by R. V. Gottumukkala and colleagues at Harvard published in an issue of "Science Translation Medicine." The study showed higher expression of MyHC-alpha autoantibodies in T1DM patients and induced MyHC-alpha expression attenuates the "runaway" autoimmune response.

The article offers information on a study that confirmed increased risks of thrombotic stroke and myocardial infarction in women taking hormonal contraceptives. Conducted by researchers at the University of Copenhagen, the study reveals the dependence of the risk of experiencing vascular events on the dose of ethinylestradiol. The study focused on thrombotic stroke and myocardial infarction as the measured outcomes.

The article offers information on a German study that deals with the inverse correlation between serum free T4 levels and fatty liver in a population of individuals without known thyroid or liver disease living in West Pomerania.

The article offers information on a study that downplays the cardiovascular protection offered by provision of basal insulin and n-3 fatty acids to patients with poor glycaemic control who are at risk of adverse cardiovascular events. Conducted by the ORIGIN trial investigators, the study covered over 12,500 individuals who had impaired glucose tolerance. The aim of the study is to determine the cardiovascular effects of these compounds.

The article presents a study on laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy for young patients, making reference to a research "Laparoscopic sleeve gastronomy in 108 obese children and adolescents aged 5 to 21 years," by A.R. Alqahtani and colleagues published in "Annals of Surgery."

The article presents a study on progression of retinopathy among type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), making reference to a research "High concentrations of AGE-LDL and oxidized LDL in circulating immune complexes are associated with progression of retinopathy in type 1 diabetes," by M.F. Lopes-Virella and colleagues published in "Diabetes Care."

The article focuses on a study published in "Bone" which examined fracture risk in older women. It cites Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis and heart disease as some of the comorbidities assessed in this study. Results of the study showed that there was an association between a higher comorbidity index and the risk of sustaining fractures. It also found that taking comorbidities into account helps improve the reliability of the FRAX® algorithm in predicting fracture incidence.

The article focuses on a study published in "Journal of the American Medical Association" which examined the role of testosterone and 5α-dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in mediating androgenic effects in adult men.
