This study found that finasteride administered for 28 days had no significant effect on adrenal steroidogenesis in healthy men, aside from inhibiting androstenedione metabolism.

In this case study, a 68-year-old woman was diagnosed with central diabetes insipidus and hypothalamic hypopituitarism due to a Rathke's cleft cyst.

This case report describes a 6 1/2-year-old girl with significant height growth and early pubic hair development.

This study found that alcohol dependence is associated with altered HPA axis functioning, with AD patients showing higher hair cortisol concentrations and reduced ACTH and cortisol levels, irrespective of childhood maltreatment history.

This case report describes a woman with HIV who developed iatrogenic Cushing syndrome and adrenal insufficiency due to the interaction between fluticasone and ritonavir, highlighting the need for careful management of corticosteroid use in patients on protease inhibitors.

In this case report, a 36-year-old woman was diagnosed with iatrogenic Cushing Syndrome caused by topical steroid use, leading to skin ulcers, diabetes, and anemia. Her condition improved after discontinuing the steroids and receiving appropriate treatment.

This case study reports the clinical features of triple H syndrome in a 25-year-old man, including ACTH deficiency, alopecia universalis, and anterograde amnesia, which were improved with hydrocortisone treatment.

This case report describes a patient with adrenomyeloneuropathy, highlighting unusual MRI findings of high signal areas in the right striatum.

This source explains that Equine Cushing’s disease, or PPID, in horses is due to the degeneration of brain cells producing dopamine, leading to elevated cortisol levels and characteristic symptoms; it outlines diagnosis methods and emphasizes life-long pergolide treatment to manage the condition.

This case study describes a 28-year-old woman with ACTH-independent Cushing's syndrome due to an adrenal adenoma, whose symptoms improved significantly after unilateral adrenalectomy.

This case study reports a rare instance of ectopic ACTH secretion from a primary lung neuroendocrine tumor in a young woman, highlighting successful diagnosis and treatment following symptoms of Cushing syndrome, with normalization of ACTH, glucose, and cortisol levels post-surgery.

This study identified a new genotype, V281+I172N/V281L, linked to non-classical 21-hydroxylase deficiency, suggesting it should be considered in genetic panels for the condition.

This case report suggests that genetic evaluation for glucocorticoid resistance, such as the NR3C1 gene variant, is crucial for proper diagnosis and management of patients showing atypical signs of hypercortisolism.

This study found that Avicennia marina extract significantly increased hair growth in androgenic alopecia patients, suggesting its potential effectiveness by inhibiting 5 alpha-reductase and regulating relevant growth factors.

This case report details a diagnostic challenge in a postmenopausal woman with severe hyperandrogenism where distinguishing between adrenal and ovarian causes was complicated by elevated 17-OH Progesterone and asymmetric ovarian enlargement; pending surgical pathology is expected to guide further management.

In this study, UVB irradiation of organ-cultured human anagen hair follicles in vitro reduced hair elongation and increased cell death, affecting hair growth and regulatory processes.

This study reports a case of a woman with Cushing's disease whose initial complaint was hair loss, a rare presenting symptom, despite multiple dermatological signs like easy bruising and violaceous striae being more indicative of the condition.

This case report describes a pregnant woman diagnosed with Cushing Syndrome, likely due to an adrenal tumor, whose condition worsened during hospitalization, resulting in heart failure, sepsis, and shock.

In a testosterone-induced mouse model, this study found that exosomes from injectable Platelet-Rich Fibrin (i-PRF) significantly reduced inflammation, oxidative stress, and apoptosis, while enhancing hair regeneration, with the greatest improvements seen when combined with minoxidil, suggesting potential as a novel treatment for androgenetic alopecia.

This study demonstrated that the 5-mg generic finasteride tablet is bioequivalent to the original tablet when tested in healthy Thai male volunteers.

This case report describes a 35-year-old woman with a Rathke’s cleft cyst presenting with Cushing disease, highlighting the need to evaluate hormonal hypersecretion in atypical pituitary lesions.

This study examined the stability of two 5α-reductase inhibitors in Tectona grandis extracts, finding that they are more stable in acidic environments and degrade rapidly under heat and light unless protected, suggesting the need for careful storage when developing anti-hair loss medications.

This study found that proretinal nanoparticles, applied topically, are safe and effective for penetration into hair follicles, enhancing retinoid biological activity in the skin while reducing irritation compared to conventional retinal formulations.

Safflower extract in nanostructured carriers was more effective than minoxidil for hair growth without irritating skin.

This study found that supplementing dog food with zinc methionyl glycinate at 160 ppm improved hair growth rate, zinc levels in plasma and hair, and hair condition more than lower doses or sulfate form.

This case report describes the occurrence of juvenile diabetes mellitus with concurrent exocrine pancreatic insufficiency in a Thai Bangkaew dog, highlighting its successful management with insulin, pancreatic enzymes, and methylcobalamin.

This study found that neurotrophins produced by balding dermal papilla cells inhibited both their proliferation and hair follicle growth in vitro, suggesting a potential role in androgenetic alopecia.

In this study, a plasma-fluorescent corticoid test effectively differentiated patients with adrenal insufficiency from those with normal adrenal function based on their response to corticotropin.

This article provides guidelines for molecular genetic testing of congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency, focusing on quality requirements, methodologies, and variant classification; it reports no new clinical results.

This case report describes the first instance of facial and oral mucosal hyperpigmentation and acanthosis nigricans linked to testosterone therapy in a patient with idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism.
