In order to help you to more effectively learn about PCOS, we have created descriptions of these trusted medical and scientific websites, outlined the distinctions between them and provided quick links to them below.
The List of Most Trusted Scientific Medical Websites on Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS):
MedlinePlus
MedlinePlus is an excellent website from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). We at Insulite Laboratories consider MedlinePlus to be the most consumer-friendly website on our list. MedlinePlus is produced by the National Library of Medicine (NLM). It supplies you with the latest Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) information and also provides details about other diseases, conditions and wellness issues in simple language anyone can understand.

The National Library of Medicine (NLM)
The National Library of Medicine (NLM) is part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
NLM has played a pivotal role in translating biomedical research into practice. It is the world's largest biomedical library and the developer of electronic information services that delivers trillions of bytes of data to millions of users everyday, including scientists, health professionals and the public in the U.S. and around the globe.
In today's increasingly digital world, NLM carries out its mission by:
- Acquiring, organizing and preserving the world's scholarly biomedical literature;
- Providing access to biomedical and health information across the country in partnership with the 5,600-member National Network of Libraries of Medicine (NN/LM®);
- Serving as a leading global resource for building, curating and providing sophisticated access to molecular biology and genomic information, including those from the Human Genome Project and NIH Roadmap;
- Creating high-quality information services relevant to toxicology and environmental health, health services research and public health;
- Conducting research and development on biomedical communications systems, methods, technologies, and networks and information dissemination and utilization among health professionals, patients and the general public; and

PubMed and MEDLINE
PubMed is another medical/scientific website that Insulite Labs recommends. It is a service of the U.S. National Library of Medicine (NLM) and includes over 21 million citations from MEDLINE and other life science journals and online books. To help you go deeper into the research, the citations may include links to full-text content from PubMed Central and publisher websites.
Many people think PubMed and MEDLINE are two difference sources. At Insulite Labs we are often asked, what is the difference between these two groups? As Pubmed clarifies on its website "MEDLINE is the largest component of PubMed (http://pubmed.gov/), the freely accessible online database of biomedical journal citations and abstracts created by the U.S. National Library of Medicine (NLM®). Approximately 5,400 journals published in the United States, and more than 80 other countries, have been selected and are currently indexed for MEDLINE. A distinctive feature of MEDLINE is that the records are indexed with NLM's controlled vocabulary, the Medical Subject Headings (MeSH®)."

National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI)
The National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) has the mission of advancing science and health by providing access to biomedical and genomic information. This is a very scientific site and Insulite Labs recommends it only for those consumers who want to dive very deep into biomedical and genetic sources.
Here is how the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) describes itself on its website:
"As a national resource for molecular biology information, NCBI's mission is to develop new information technologies to aid in the understanding of fundamental molecular and genetic processes that control health and disease. More specifically, the NCBI has been charged with creating automated systems for storing and analyzing knowledge about molecular biology, biochemistry, and genetics; facilitating the use of such databases and software by the research and medical community; coordinating efforts to gather biotechnology information both nationally and internationally; and performing research into advanced methods of computer-based information processing for analyzing the structure and function of biologically important molecules."

GenBank
GenBank® is another website of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). It provides a genetic sequence database, an annotated collection of all publicly available DNA sequences.
This GenBank website is mainly designed for researchers. GenBank has become the most important and influential database for research in almost all biological fields and is cited by millions of researchers around the world.
As more research is added, GenBank continues to grow at the phenomenal rate of once every 18 months. Because this site is mainly designed for DNA researchers it will probably be difficult for the average consumer to use this site to their advantage. We include it because of the medical emphasis on gene sequence and expression in uncovering the source of diseases such as those caused by Insulin Resistance (IR), such as PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome), Metabolic Syndrome (Syndrome X), Diabetes, Pre-Diabetes and Obesity-Excess Weight Gain. As this DNA research continues to find its way into the popular press more and more, we, as a population, become more adept at understanding it and using it to help us heal. Therefore, Insulite Labs believes that for some of our more technically-minded readers, this site may be helpful.
GenBank is part of the International Nucleotide Sequence Database Collaboration, which comprises the DNA DataBank of Japan (DDBJ), the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) and GenBank at NCBI. These three organizations exchange data on a daily basis.

National Institutes of Health (NIH)
All of the above sites come under the auspices of National Institutes of Health (NIH). Insulite Labs suggests it may be interesting for you to visit this site as it is the largest source of funding for medical research in the world, creating hundreds of thousands of high-quality jobs by funding thousands of scientists in universities and research institutions in every state across America and around the globe. The National Institutes of Health (NIH), a part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, is the nation's medical research agency-making important discoveries that improve health and save lives.
Insulite Labs also recommends The National Institutes of Health (NIH) website because it is a great place to find the latest medical research and news.

The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM)
No trusted list of scientific/medical websites would be complete without including The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM). Therefore we have added the Journal to Insulite Labs' List of the Most Trusted Scientific Medical Websites on Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS). It is considered not only the oldest, continuously published medical journal in the world, but also the most influential.
The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) publishes medical research findings, review articles and editorial opinion on various topics of importance to biomedical science and medical practices.
The Journal's website offers current issues, and an online archive, allowing search by disease. In addition, the Journal provides subscriber services include PDA content access, PowerPoint downloads and continuing medical education. It serves doctors, students, residents and others in the medical field.
It is an easy-to-use site ... just go to the search bar on the site and type in Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome and it will quickly take you to the in-depth articles on PCOS.
