This study found that testosterone more accurately predicts PCOS diagnosis than 11-oxyandrogens, which were linked with hirsutism severity and showed varying responses to contraceptive and metformin treatments.

This study found that while 11-oxyandrogens do not aid in diagnosing PCOS, they correlate with hirsutism severity, and 11-ketotestosterone levels decrease with combined oral contraceptive therapy.

This review explores the role of hyperandrogenism, including adrenal-derived 11-oxygenated androgen, in the development of polycystic ovarian syndrome and discusses potential therapeutic strategies targeting androgen excess, without reporting new clinical results.

In this study, women with androgenic alopecia showed increased excretion of steroid metabolites and heightened 5α-reductase activity, suggesting these may contribute to the condition's hormonal abnormalities.

This review discusses the chemical composition, pharmacological properties, and ethnomedical applications of Myrtus communis Linn and 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.

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 guideline review by the European Dermatology Forum evaluates current treatments for androgenetic alopecia but reports no new research findings, aiming to assist dermatologists in selecting safe and effective therapies.

This study found that mice lacking the 1αOHase enzyme, which is responsible for producing a key vitamin D metabolite, showed impaired epidermal differentiation and delayed recovery of skin barrier function after disruption.

In this study, topical quercetin was found to stimulate hair follicle growth and promote microvascular regrowth in mice, suggesting its potential for hair regrowth strategies.

This review presents the top 10 research priorities for hair loss management (excluding alopecia areata) as identified by a Hair Loss Priority Setting Partnership aimed at guiding future studies important to patients and clinicians.

Women with effluvium have higher levels of certain urinary steroids, possibly due to stress and increased adrenal activity.

This review discusses the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of congenital adrenal hyperplasia, but reports no new research results.

This study found that finasteride significantly alters urinary steroid profiles, complicating the detection of steroid abuse in doping-control analysis by potentially causing false-negative results.

This review discusses the challenges in measuring testosterone for assessing androgen excess in women and emphasizes the importance of quality control in laboratory methods, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study suggests that the adrenal gland may contribute to prostate cancer treatment resistance and indicates potential steroid production or dependency in ovarian cancer.

This review explores the impact of vitamin D deficiency on the skin from a dermatological perspective, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that finasteride effectively reduced hirsutism in women during 12 months of treatment, with some effects persisting in the majority after stopping the medication.

This study found that finasteride decreased plasma dihydrotestosterone levels and altered steroid metabolism, similar to the profile of male pseudohermaphrodites with inherited 5a-reductase deficiency.

This review examines androgen status in male and female obesity and its influence on the metabolic syndrome, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that finasteride treatment significantly reduced hirsutism scores in women with idiopathic hirsutism over 6 months and was well tolerated.

This study found that men with androgenic alopecia had significantly higher levels of certain urinary steroid metabolites, suggesting increased 5 alpha-reductase activity and possible mild hyperadrenal activity.

The researchers observed that normal murine hair follicles are direct targets for melatonin, with receptor expression varying throughout the hair cycle, suggesting melatonin's role in hair cycle control.

In this study, researchers found that taking Saw palmetto and Pygeum africana supplements for five days altered the urinary steroid profile in a way that may interfere with the steroidal module of the Athlete Biological Passport.

In this review, the researchers explored the formulation and evaluation of a pure herbal shampoo using plant extracts, aiming to compare its physicochemical properties with synthetic and other herbal shampoos, and concluded that consumer expectation shifts towards safety and efficacy could enhance herbal shampoo popularity.

In this study of Danioninae species, researchers reported that the presence of breeding tubercles on the pectoral fins is conserved in certain species and linked to local androgen conversion, with steroid 5-α-reductase playing a crucial role in their development.

Men with early balding should be checked for metabolic syndrome, as there's a link between the two.

This study found that TriCell CD34 + cell-containing PRP injections improved hair thickness and density in patients with alopecia after three months of treatment, with no special side effects reported.

This review discusses various treatment options for non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21α-hydroxylase and 11β-hydroxylase deficiencies without providing new clinical results.

Rabbit hair fibers are similar to wool and have a hollow center like feathers.
