This review outlines a diagnostic approach for identifying non-PCOS pathology in women with androgen excess, emphasizing the importance of clinical history and biochemical phenotyping but reports no new clinical results.

This study concluded that qiviut cortisol can be used as a measure of HPA axis activity in muskoxen, with hair growth phase and body region affecting cortisol levels.

This review discusses imaging's role in the diagnosis and management of congenital adrenal hyperplasia and reports no new clinical results; it suggests a potential presentation route via incidental radiologic findings.

This case report describes a 57-year-old man's late diagnosis of X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy, highlighting the need to consider this condition in patients with non-autoimmune primary adrenal insufficiency and neurological issues.

This study found that adequate vitamin D status is necessary for metformin to effectively reduce prolactin levels in men with iatrogenic hyperprolactinemia, while improvements in glycemic control were observed across all vitamin D groups.

This case report presents a rare instance of recurrent ACTH-independent Cushing’s syndrome due to PBMAH, coinciding with the development of a pheochromocytoma, highlighting the need for thorough reevaluation in similar recurring cases.

In this study, researchers explored the diverse causes of alopecia in dogs, highlighting how factors such as infection, hormonal imbalances, and genetic conditions contribute to hair loss, and emphasized the importance of tailored diagnostics and treatment strategies.

This study found that women with PCOS exhibited higher levels of depression, tension induction, and impaired stress coping strategies compared to healthy controls, with these psychological issues correlating with hyperandrogenism but not with central obesity or insulin resistance.

This case study suggests that genetic susceptibility to PCOS and rare syndromes, such as Trichorhinophalangeal syndrome Type 1, should be considered in young men with unexplained hyperandrogenism.

This case report details a 13-year-old boy with Cushing syndrome, where BIPSS identified the pituitary gland as the cortisol excess source and hormonal tests showed suppressed puberty markers.

This case report describes a 58-year-old woman whose virilization symptoms were linked to a steroid tumor of the ovary, emphasizing the importance of prompt diagnosis and treatment to improve her quality of life.

In this case report, a 10-year-old girl with an adrenal adenoma experienced symptoms like hirsutism and clitoromegaly; after surgical removal of the tumor, her symptoms and biochemical abnormalities resolved over several months.

This case report highlights the need to assess postmenopausal women with hirsutism for hyperandrogenism causes, as exemplified by a Leydig cell tumor coinciding with primary hyperparathyroidism.

This case report highlighted a rare occurrence of both adrenocortical carcinoma and uric acid kidney stones in a 5-year-old boy, with hormonal levels and clinical symptoms returning to normal after treatment and no recurrence over four years, emphasizing comprehensive endocrine evaluations in pediatric ACC management.

In this case study, the authors observed that weight loss coupled with a brief use of oral contraceptives was associated with normalized testosterone levels in a woman with severe hyperandrogenism and PCOS.

This case report details a functioning adrenocortical oncocytoma in a 3-year-old girl with hirsutism and virilization, highlighting its rarity in childhood and including a literature review without new clinical data.

This case report describes a 64-year-old woman with male pattern hair loss and elevated testosterone levels, who was diagnosed with an androgen-secreting adrenal tumor and successfully treated with laparoscopic adrenalectomy.

This study found that the ethanolic extract of Acanthus ebracteatus demonstrated potential as an anti-hair loss treatment by promoting dermal papilla cell proliferation, inhibiting 5α-reductase activity, and reducing inflammation in vitro.

In this retrospective review, the author discusses key discoveries in understanding androgen excess disorders like PCOS, focusing on genetic and molecular insights gained from 1965 to 2015.

This case report describes a 22-year-old woman with hirsutism and irregular menstrual bleeding, diagnosed with an ovarian steroid cell tumor (NOS), whose androgen levels normalized after surgery.

In vitro, this study suggests that CRH may act as an autocrine hormone in human sebocytes, influencing lipid synthesis and potentially impacting skin disorders related to alterations in sebaceous lipid formation.

This review explores the structural and functional sex differences in mammals beyond reproductive organs, highlighting variations in life expectancy, organ size, metabolism, and immune function, but it reports no new results.

This review discusses the effects of hormonal changes on hair follicles, concluding that hormones like androgens and estradiol significantly influence hair growth and cycle, while the roles of other hormones are still being researched.

Long-term use of azole antifungals can cause hair loss, hormonal imbalances, and severe skin reactions.

Hormones and signaling pathways control sebaceous gland function and could help treat acne.

In this review, researchers highlighted that natural polyphenolics like flavonoids and resveratrol may help enhance testosterone production in aging males by boosting the expression of the Star gene in Leydig cells, potentially preventing age-related degenerative conditions linked to testosterone insufficiency.

In this case study, researchers observed that steroidogenesis from adrenal androgens in prostate cancer tissues may explain progression in a 74-year-old man with low circulating testosterone.

This study found that LC-MS/MS assays provided more reliable and precise steroid measurements in human serum compared to traditional immunoassays, particularly at lower concentrations.

In this study, metformin was found to reduce prolactin levels in men with hyperprolactinemia and normal hair growth but not in those with androgenic alopecia, suggesting that androgen excess may interfere with metformin's effects on prolactin.

This study identified that biotin ingestion led to interference in immunoassay results, falsely indicating high testosterone and insulin levels in a 28-year-old female patient, thus complicating her clinical assessment and treatment planning until recognized and resolved.
