This review discusses the pathophysiology, molecular genetics, and management of non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency, with no new clinical findings reported.

In this case study, medical management with trilostane improved clinical signs and normalized serum chemistry in a dog diagnosed with adrenal-dependent hyperadrenocorticism over 80 weeks of treatment.

This review discusses the evaluation, clinical presentation, and cutaneous manifestations of congenital adrenal hyperplasia, focusing on differential diagnosis challenges with polycystic ovary syndrome, and reports no new clinical findings.

This review discusses the clinical features, genetics, and treatment of 21-hydroxylase deficiency, a common type of congenital adrenal hyperplasia, and reports no new research findings.

This study found that trilostane treatment led to complete hair regrowth in three Alaskan malamutes with ACTH-stimulated elevated 17-hydroxyprogesterone levels within 6 months without any recognized adverse effects.

In this study, a combination of terbinafine and mitotane was used to treat a dog with pituitary-dependent hyperadrenocorticism and dermatophytosis, showing regrowth of hair and negative fungal cultures without detectable adverse effects.

Non-classical 21 hydroxylase deficiency is an underdiagnosed cause of female hair loss and polycystic ovarian syndrome.

A woman's hyperandrogenism was caused by a genetic mutation leading to non-classic adrenogenital syndrome.

This review explores the complex endocrine functions of human skin and its role as a peripheral endocrine organ, but reports no new clinical results.

In this study, ketoconazole treatment improved acne in all women and reduced hirsutism in some, but it caused several side effects and requires careful monitoring.

This study used a glucocorticoid-injection model to mimic kidney-yang deficiency syndrome and reported symptoms related to hormonal imbalances in the hypothalamic-pituitary-target gland axes.

This study documented that symmetrical, noninflammatory alopecia in schipperkes is associated with hormonal abnormalities and hair cycle arrest, resembling Alopecia X clinically and histologically.

This review examines the hormonal causes of hair loss, noting how androgen excess can lead to follicle miniaturization and linking estrogen deficiency and thyroid dysfunction to common alopecia types. It further discusses hormonal treatments such as finasteride, dutasteride, and spironolactone.

This article reviews differential diagnosis approaches for 46,XY DSD, proposing a diagnostic algorithm focused on biochemical and genetic data, without presenting new clinical results.

This case study reported that even with improved adrenal androgens and testosterone levels, treating women with AH-PCOS with glucocorticoids did not significantly improve ovulatory function or hirsutism.

This article discusses the complexities of diagnosing pituitary dependent hyperadrenocorticism in dogs and reports no new clinical findings, highlighting issues with varied symptoms and episodic hormone secretion complicating diagnosis.

This study found that pregnancies with gestational diabetes in a Midwestern U.S. cohort demonstrated elevated androgen levels compared to healthy controls, suggesting a common relationship between impaired glucose tolerance and hyperandrogenemia across diverse ethnic backgrounds.

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 case report highlighted rapid virilization in a woman with adrenocortical carcinoma, stressing the importance of androgen evaluation to suspect underlying ovarian or adrenal tumors.

This study found that adrenal sex hormone levels were elevated in neutered dogs with hypercortisolemia, except for testosterone, highlighting the importance of ruling out hypercortisolemia when diagnosing adrenal hyperplasia syndrome.

This case study reports a patient with ACTH-driven cortisol secretion 14 years after adrenalectomy, suggesting possible residual adrenal tissue or extra-adrenal steroid synthesis, challenging the need for lifelong steroid replacement.

This case study diagnosed a cat with pituitary-dependent hyperadrenocorticism, confirmed by specific hormonal tests and post-mortem findings of adrenal hyperplasia and a pituitary adenoma.

This case study describes a 30-year-old woman with ACTH-independent Cushing's syndrome from adrenal carcinoma, who showed significant health improvement and normalized tests 18 months after left adrenalectomy.

In this case report, a 21-year-old woman diagnosed with ACTH-independent Cushing syndrome showed improvement in symptoms, including a more regular menstrual cycle and lower hirsutism, after starting treatment with ketoconazole, although she developed hypertension.

In this case report, a rare association between Cushing's syndrome caused by ectopic ACTH from cervical cancer is documented, highlighting the diagnostic challenges, treatment complexity, and high morbidity and mortality, with the patient succumbing to septic shock post-surgery.

This case report highlighted a rare instance of Cushing's syndrome caused by ectopic ACTH from cervical cancer, demonstrating diagnostic challenges, treatment complexity, and high risks of morbidity and mortality, with less than 10 cases documented overall.

This study reported a rare case where a pheochromocytoma produced ACTH, leading to cyclic Cushing syndrome, and underscores the importance of considering this possibility in cases of ACTH-dependent hypercortisolism with an adrenal mass.

This study developed a testosterone propionate-induced C57BL/6 mouse model of androgenetic alopecia, demonstrating that high-dose, prolonged testosterone administration inhibited hair regrowth and mirrored human AGA pathology, providing a useful platform for studying hair loss mechanisms and testing therapies targeting the Wnt/β-catenin pathway.

In this study, Pomeranians with non-illness, generalized alopecia did not exhibit adrenal or pituitary abnormalities, suggesting a breed-specific hormonal pattern as a potential cause rather than a functional adrenal anomaly.

This case study of a toy poodle with Cushing syndrome found that after unsuccessful initial treatments, hair growth and symptom alleviation occurred following daily administration of o,p'-DDD, despite initial side effects.
