This study reported that in embryo transfer cycles for women with nonclassic 21-hydroxylase deficiency, dexamethasone use was associated with improved pregnancy rates, and maintaining a BMI below 23.36 kg/m² increased pregnancy probabilities.

This case report describes a 64-year-old postmenopausal woman with hirsutism due to a rare case of bilateral diffuse ovarian Leydig cell hyperplasia, leading to normalized testosterone levels and improved glycaemic control following surgery.

This review examines the use of natural remedies, including various herbs, for treating polycystic ovary syndrome, but reports no new clinical results.

This research highlights selenium's critical roles in various biological processes and underscores the potential health impacts of both its deficiency and excess, including increased mortality risk, poor immune function, and neurological issues.

The testes significantly contribute to vitamin D metabolism and may affect male reproductive health and conditions like hair loss.

This study found that while rat models treated with letrozole and dihydrotestosterone exhibit altered sterol, leukotriene, and steroid hormone profiles similar to human PCOS, significant differences remain.

This review discusses current pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatment strategies for PCOS, emphasizing the need for a personalized, multimodal approach due to incomplete understanding of the syndrome's pathogenesis.

Among females with nonclassical 21-hydroxylase deficiency, this study found that low-dose glucocorticoid treatment improved fertility outcomes by increasing pregnancy and live birth rates while reducing miscarriage rates.

This case report emphasizes the importance of recognizing non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia as a cause of hyperandrogenism and the need for genetic counseling given potential familial implications.

This study found that all participating depressed women in the sample had vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency, suggesting a possible association between vitamin D levels and depression among women in Iraq.

This article discusses the ongoing care needs for individuals with 21-hydroxylase deficiency due to mutations in the CYP21A2 gene but does not present new clinical findings.

This study showed that regulation of adipose androgen generation via AKR1C3 may contribute to a cycle of hyperinsulinaemia and lipid accumulation in women with PCOS.

This study highlights a rare case of vitamin D-dependent rickets type 2A caused by a heterozygous mutation in the vitamin D receptor gene, emphasizing the complexity of managing this condition with high-dose calcium and vitamin D therapy.

This study found that individuals with alopecia areata had significantly lower vitamin D levels compared to healthy controls, and lower vitamin D levels were associated with more severe hair loss.

This study reported a case of hereditary vitamin D–resistant rickets caused by a single heterozygous missense mutation in the VDR gene, showing dominant-negative effects and reduced response to 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3.

This case study reports on a rare form of vitamin D resistant rickets in a 37-year-old male, highlighting the condition's clinical features and the necessity for a thorough understanding of calcium and vitamin D metabolism in the diagnosis and management of metabolic bone diseases.

This study found that 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 promotes hair growth and regeneration in mice by prolonging the anagen phase and counteracting DHT's inhibitory effects, suggesting its potential therapeutic role for androgenetic alopecia.

This study observed that children with a genetically transmitted defect in the 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 receptor experienced spontaneous healing of rickets as they aged, despite persistent mineral imbalances during treatment.

This minireview discusses a proposed model of the vitamin D receptor that explains how 1alpha,25(OH)2D3 can mediate both genomic and rapid responses through different ligand shapes and cellular locations, without presenting new research findings.

This study suggests that the role of vitamin 25(OH)D in the pathogenesis of PCOS and diminished ovarian reserve may be independent of serum vitamin 25(OH)D levels.

In this study, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 inhibited growth and promoted differentiation in normal hair follicle cells but did not affect cells from a patient with vitamin D-dependent rickets type II, assisting in potential rapid diagnosis of the condition.

This case report documents a female toddler with novel compound heterozygous mutations in the VDR gene causing hereditary 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D-resistant rickets, expanding the known mutation spectrum for this disease.

This study found that after topical application in rats, 1,24-dihydroxyvitamin D3 absorbed through both the stratum corneum and hair follicles, with about 30% excreted via the faeces.

This study identified a novel nonsense mutation in the VDR gene in two patients with hereditary vitamin D resistant rickets and alopecia, leading to resistance to 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3.

This study found that in a mouse model with hereditary 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D resistant rickets, a mutant vitamin D receptor lacking hormone-binding ability could restore normal hair cycling and affect parathyroid hormone regulation.

This study found that a novel R343H mutation in the vitamin D receptor gene impairs its transcription activity, contributing to hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets and alopecia in the affected family.

This study found that both the natural ligand 1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3) and the synthetic agonist LG190178 bind similarly to the vitamin D receptor's coregulator motifs, suggesting similar biological functions.

In this case study, a woman with high 25(OH)D levels and persistent symptoms showed decreased parathormone after transdermal estrogen therapy, highlighting the importance of assessing both parathormone and estrogen levels in similar patients.
