This study found that hair cortisol concentration is a promising stress indicator in cattle but not in pigs, where external factors and lower cortisol response may interfere with its validity.

This review discusses diagnostic criteria for polycystic ovary syndrome and highlights the challenges and risks of misdiagnosing women with other hyperandrogenism causes; it reports no clinical results.

This review discusses the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management of functional hypothalamic amenorrhea in adolescent girls and reports no new clinical results.

This study found that in a mouse model, alopecia areata was associated with changes in heart structure, biochemistry, and gene expression linked to cardiac hypertrophy after ACTH exposure.

In this study, serum PSA levels were higher in women with PCOS, suggesting it may serve as a marker for hyperandrogenism in this condition.

The document explains various skin conditions in cats and how to diagnose and treat them.

This case study describes an extremely rare instance of androgen-secreting adrenocortical carcinoma in a patient with non-classical congenital adrenal hyperplasia.

This study found that stress hormones, particularly CRF, can inhibit hair growth and induce hair loss by affecting human dermal papilla cells and hair follicles, suggesting a functional HPA axis in these cells.

This review discusses androgen deficiency syndrome in women, its symptoms, and how androgen replacement therapy generally alleviates related issues without significant side-effects, but reports no new clinical findings.

This review discusses the role of androgens in women's sexual health and highlights the need for further research on androgen replacement therapy to optimize quality of life, but reports no new clinical results.

Among women with hirsutism studied, this research found a high prevalence of acne, particularly associated with polycystic ovarian syndrome and endocrine changes.

In this study, cosyntropin-induced cortisol spikes did not affect hair cortisol concentration in captive grizzly bears, contrasting with stress responses observed in free-ranging bears during capture.

This case report describes three instances where occult ovarian Leydig cell tumors were suspected based on severe hyperandrogenism symptoms, despite negative imaging findings, highlighting that elevated testosterone levels are a crucial diagnostic marker.

This chapter reviews the causes and underlying steroid pathways of hirsutism and virilization in women, detailing relevant conditions and laboratory assays without reporting new clinical results.

In this study, women with a complete hydatidiform mole had significantly higher pre-evacuation levels of hCG, free testosterone, and DHEA-S compared to controls, which declined after HM evacuation.

This study found that methylcellulose-based hydrogels can effectively deliver growth hormone through the skin, with albumin increasing the hormone's permeation to 93% in simulated in vivo conditions.

This review discusses the complex relationship between melasma and factors like female sex hormones, genetics, and ultraviolet light exposure, but reports no new clinical findings.

Generalized glucocorticoid resistance causes hormone imbalances and varied symptoms due to gene mutations.

This case study suggests that long-term treatment with buprenorphine/naloxone for opioid addiction may lead to secondary adrenal insufficiency, warranting further investigation.

This study found that acupressure on specific points improved health-related quality of life and reduced total testosterone levels and clinical symptoms in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome compared to controls.

In this case report, an 18-year-old Vietnamese female with primary amenorrhea and normal female phenotype was most likely diagnosed with müllerian agenesis, highlighting its association with embryologic underdevelopment of the müllerian duct.

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.

In this case study, laparoscopic bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy was associated with reduced androgen levels and partial reversal of male-pattern hair loss in a postmenopausal woman with ovarian hyperandrogenism.

A postmenopausal woman's virilization was caused by a rare ovarian tumor that was hard to detect but was successfully treated with surgery.

This study found that in female dogs, exposure to free fatty acids increased androgen production, suggesting a potential link to factors characteristic of polycystic ovary syndrome.

This review discusses the impact of hormonal changes on female skin and hair loss and suggests that antiandrogenic treatments may help mitigate these effects, but reports no new clinical results.

In this case report, a post-menopausal woman with symptoms such as hirsutism and elevated testosterone underwent surgery, which revealed hormonally active ovarian cellular fibromas, leading to symptom resolution and normalized hormone levels; the authors suggest further exploration of these tumors' hormonal effects.

This case report highlights the diagnostic challenge of identifying androgen-secreting ovarian Leydig cell tumors in postmenopausal women when imaging fails to reveal masses, emphasizing the usefulness of ovarian vein sampling for localization.

This case report highlights a novel NR5A1 gene variant associated with a severe 46,XY disorder of sex development, stressing the importance of genetic screening in similar cases.

This case report describes the first known instance of a testosterone-secreting steroid cell ovarian tumor causing pulmonary embolism and erythrocytosis in a postmenopausal woman, highlighting its potential role as a rare cause of hypercoagulable state.
