This study found that 11-oxygenated androgens were higher in women with PCOS compared to those with idiopathic hirsutism, with no difference from controls, and higher Bisphenol A levels in obese women with PCOS may worsen metabolic issues.

This study identified three subgroups of women with PCOS with distinct androgen profiles, finding that the subgroup with adrenal-derived androgen excess had the highest insulin resistance and rates of hirsutism and hair loss.

This review discusses alternative androgen pathways, including the "backdoor" pathway and pathways to 11-oxygenated steroids, and reports no new clinical results; the authors aim to clarify these concepts for better patient treatment.

This article discusses the role of androgens in metabolic and reproductive health and reports no new experimental results; the focus is on androgen receptor activation by testosterone and 5α-dihydrotestosterone.

This study found that a self-assessed modified Ferriman-Gallwey score of 10 or higher indicates excess body hair, and suggests androstenedione measurement should accompany testosterone when evaluating hyperandrogenism.
