In this case study, drospirenone use masked the diagnosis of a rare form of congenital adrenal hyperplasia, suggesting a possible delay in detecting underlying endocrinopathies.

This review discusses the effects of mineralocorticoid receptor overexpression in mice skin, reporting no new data but highlighting its link to epidermal atrophy, early barrier formation, eye issues, and hair loss.

This review discusses the steroidogenic properties of human skin and suggests that impaired steroidogenesis may be linked to conditions like acne, rosacea, atopic dermatitis, and androgenic alopecia, but reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the current understanding of androgen biosynthesis, mechanisms of action, and their roles in human biology, as well as related congenital and acquired disorders, but it reports no new research findings.

Proximal hair cortisol is a reliable tool for diagnosing Cushing's Syndrome.

This review discusses the complex etiology of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), highlighting its association with insulin resistance and hyperandrogenism, but reports no clinical findings; the authors suggest further investigation of the pathophysiological mechanisms.

This review discusses recent advancements in understanding and managing congenital adrenal hyperplasia, including improvements in screening, diagnostics, and potential genetic and cell-based treatments, but reports no new clinical findings.

This review discusses the presence of the StAR protein in 17 non-classical steroidogenic tissues, suggesting that advanced detection methods are needed for a complete understanding of its functions in these tissues.

This review discusses the differential diagnosis of low-renin hypertension and highlights recent genetic discoveries related to familial forms, but it presents no new clinical results.

This study found that mutations in certain keratin genes significantly affect wool traits in Chinese Merino sheep, suggesting these genes could be important for sheep breeding to improve wool quality.

This study observed that female mice with disrupted 5α-reductase 1 showed increased insulin resistance and hepatic steatosis, suggesting altered glucocorticoid metabolism contributes to metabolic disorders.

This study found that 11α-hydroxyprogesterone is a potent inhibitor of 11βHSD2 in vitro and may serve as a precursor to unique C11α-hydroxy steroids in prostate cancer tissue.

This study suggests that Eclipta prostrata may promote hair growth in mice and human dermal papilla cells through regulating FGF-7 and mTOR signaling.

In an animal study, researchers found that a hair tonic containing a 1:1 ratio of kelor and rambutan leaf extracts led to similar hair growth in rabbits compared to a minoxidil control, with average hair lengths of 3 cm versus 2.025 cm, respectively.

This study found that high exposure to plastics was associated with increased chances of irregular menstrual cycles and symptoms similar to polycystic ovary syndrome in adolescent girls.

This review explores the potential of selective 11β-HSD1 inhibitors to improve insulin sensitivity in type 2 diabetes, emphasizing the need for more clinical research and reports no new clinical results.

Blocking the enzyme 11β-HSD1 might help treat obesity and metabolic issues.

This article discusses the functions of the enzyme 17beta-HSD10, including its role in steroid metabolism and potential links to Alzheimer's disease, but reports no new experimental findings.

The authors concluded that increased expression of the HSD11B1 gene in adipose tissue correlates with obesity markers and predicts insulin resistance, but this association is independent of polycystic ovary syndrome when adiposity is controlled for.

This study found that the mutant hairless rhino bald protein in mice interacts with the vitamin D receptor but cannot repress its transactivation and shows abnormal cellular localization.

This review discusses recent insights into Birt–Hogg–Dube syndrome, including the functions of the FLCN gene and clinical recommendations for screening and treatment, but it reports no new experimental results.

This study explores the expression and function of 11β-HSD1 in human hair follicles and its potential regulation of glucocorticoid effects on dermal papilla cells, but reports no definitive findings on 11β-HSD1's role.

This study discusses the potential of targeting 11β-HSD1 for treating metabolic syndrome and highlights emerging promising data from human trials on selective 11β-HSD1 inhibitors.

This review summarizes current knowledge about Birt–Hogg–Dubé syndrome, discussing recent findings on its pathogenesis and treatment, but reports no new clinical results; the authors emphasize understanding its cutaneous manifestations.

In this study, novel mutations in the BTD gene were identified in a patient with profound biotinidase deficiency, highlighting the importance of biotinidase activity measurement and mutation analysis for early diagnosis.

This article reports on three new cases of Birt–Hogg–Dubé Syndrome and emphasizes the role of genetic analysis in its diagnosis due to clinical challenges.

This study identified a compound heterozygous mutation in the 3 beta-HSD gene that confirmed inherited 3 beta-HSD deficiency in a Pakistani child with salt-wasting congenital adrenal hyperplasia.

This report describes a clinical case of a 38-year-old man diagnosed with Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome, confirmed by genetic testing, highlighting the presentation of multiple renal tumors and bilateral lung cysts.

This study found that inhibiting 11β-HSD1 can partially reverse the negative impact of glucocorticoids on dermal papilla cells in human scalps, suggesting potential for treating stress-related hair loss.

This case report describes a 40-year-old woman with Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome diagnosed with multiple chromophobe renal cell carcinomas, highlighting the importance of recognizing associated dermatologic lesions for early intervention.
