“…However, no association has been found between hirsutism and serum zinc concentration. Changes in LH, FSH and prolactin concentrations were also associated with hormonal imbalances among women with PCOS, although the direction of these changes was not so obvious [ 27 , 46 , 47 , 48 , 50 ] and in some studies statistically insignificant [ 28 , 46 , 47 , 48 , 49 , 50 ], also following supplementation with zinc sulfate [ 54 ].…”

“…Women with PCOS often demonstrate hormonal disorders such as hyperandrogenism as well. Such abnormalities were noted by the authors of many studies as significant increases in total testosterone, free testosterone, and dehydroepiandrosterone concentration compared with women without PCOS [27,28,45,46,48] (Table 2), while the effect of zinc supplementation on hormonal balance in women with PCOS, especially on testosterone concentrations, is still unclear ( Table 3). Increased peripheral synthesis of androgens, alongside that in adrenals and ovaries are thought to significantly contribute to hyperandrogenism in PCOS [67].…”
