This study found that the ACTH/MC2R system is important for hair cycle regulation, with deficiencies in MC2R leading to altered hair growth phases in mice.

This article discusses congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21 hydroxylase deficiency as a cause of ambiguous genitals in 46XX individuals and reports no new research findings.

This case presentation by Dr. Howard Fox describes a persistent skin eruption in a woman following sun exposure and the use of a specific lotion, highlighting diagnostic challenges between Lupus Erythematosus and Erythema Perstans but reports no definitive diagnosis.

This case report detailed a unique instance of hypopituitarism in a 65-year-old male presenting with symptoms including nausea, vomiting, and fatigue, attributed to secondary adrenal insufficiency, which improved following appropriate cortisol treatment.

In this case study, a 44-year-old woman with an adrenal adenoma secreting both cortisol and androgens developed Cushing syndrome and significant virilization, but experienced major symptom improvement following surgical removal of the benign tumor.

In this study, a 37-year-old female with resistant hypertension and signs of Cushing's syndrome and primary aldosteronism was found to have normal cortisol levels but high levels of cortisol and aldosterone via adrenal venous sampling, leading to a diagnosis confirmed by right adrenalectomy.

This case report describes a 23-year-old woman with an adult granulosa cell tumor of the ovary, whose symptoms and hormone levels improved significantly after surgical removal of the tumor.

This review examines the clinical features, causes, diagnosis, and treatment of Chrousos syndrome but reports no new experimental findings on this condition.

Proximal hair cortisol is a reliable tool for diagnosing Cushing's Syndrome.

This review examines the causes, assessment, and treatments of hirsutism and highlights the need for future research in managing this condition but presents no new research findings.

This case report highlights a rare ovarian steroid cell tumor as the cause of androgen excess in a 36-year-old woman and underscores the importance of thorough preoperative workup to avoid unnecessary surgery.

This article reviews the role of hormones in human penis development and associated conditions due to hormonal imbalances, but reports no new findings, suggesting hormone replacement can manage some conditions.

This review discusses female hyperandrogenism, detailing diagnostic criteria and treatment options without reporting new study results; it emphasizes improving health and quality of life for affected women.

Testosterone therapy can help with androgen deficiency in women but should be used with caution and monitoring due to potential risks.

In this study, the authors concluded that clinical hyperandrogenism is not a reliable predictor for biochemical hyperandrogenism in Thai women with PCOS.

In this study, researchers found that crude extracts from Avicennia marina and its component avicequinone C inhibit mechanisms contributing to androgenic alopecia in vitro, including 5α-reductase activity and DHT-AR interactions, potentially promoting hair growth and delaying the catagen phase in human dermal papilla cells.

This review discusses recent advancements in understanding and managing congenital adrenal hyperplasia, including improvements in screening, diagnostics, and potential genetic and cell-based treatments, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that three months of oral finasteride treatment significantly decreased dihydrotestosterone levels and hair growth in hirsute women without negatively affecting gonadotropin secretion.

This study found a high prevalence of hyperandrogenemia in women with PCOS, with distinct biochemical differences according to BMI and presence of hyperandrogenemia.

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 found that women with PCOS displayed significantly higher activity of 5alpha-reductase, suggesting an additional role for liver and peripheral tissues in their androgen excess.

This study found that women with PCOS have higher activity of the enzyme 5alpha-reductase, which may contribute to their elevated androgen levels.

This paper reviews the diagnostic criteria, associated morbidities, and possible evolutionary advantages of polycystic ovary syndrome, but does not report any new findings.

This review discusses the classifications, diagnostic methods, and treatment strategies for female pattern hair loss, but reports no clinical results.

This study found that spironolactone was significantly more effective than finasteride in reducing hirsutism scores over 9 months, despite more side effects occurring in the spironolactone group.

This review discusses the role of androgens in women's skin-related conditions like acne, hirsutism, and female pattern hair loss, noting the lack of dermatology guidelines for when to pursue endocrinologic evaluation.

This study reports that once neoplastic causes are excluded, functional hirsutism can be effectively treated with low-dose dexamethasone, oral contraceptives, and spironolactone.

This review discusses factors affecting fertility in both men and women with congenital adrenal hyperplasia and emphasizes individualized preconception management but reports no new clinical results.

This study identified polycystic ovarian syndrome as the most common cause of hirsutism among patients and found a positive correlation between hirsutism severity and free testosterone levels.

This review discusses the evaluation of hyperandrogenemia in women and hypogonadism in men across different life stages and presents biomarkers used for diagnosing male hypogonadism, reporting no new clinical results.
