This study found that untreated hirsute patients have lower expression of type 2 17β-HSD mRNA in scalp hairs, indicating potential disturbances in androgen metabolism, compared to treated hirsute patients.

This study found that combined topical, intralesional, and oral corticosteroids led to significant hair regrowth in some patients with alopecia totalis or universalis, allowing eventual cessation of oral corticosteroids in several cases.

This review discusses the role of immune cells in mammalian hair cycle control and highlights their potential relevance to human hair cycling disorders, reporting no new clinical findings.

This study found that acute sleep deprivation enhanced 5α-reductase expression and activity in the rat prefrontal cortex, and finasteride treatment reduced associated psychosis- and mania-like behaviors.

In this study, daughters of women with PCOS and control daughters showed no significant differences in metabolic and hormonal parameters, but more PCOS daughters exhibited hirsutism at advanced pubertal stages.

The document concludes that using LC-MS/MS for measuring androgens is more accurate than older methods, but it needs careful validation and standardized references to be most effective.

This study identified somatostatin as a potential secretory factor contributing to the immune privilege of human hair follicles.

This article explores the endocrine functions involved in the pathogenesis of polycystic ovarian syndrome and discusses approaches for diagnosing and managing the condition, with no new clinical results reported.

This study found that altering neonatal neurosteroid levels affected anxiety and aversive learning in adult rats, possibly through changes in hippocampal GABAergic functions.

This study reported that 6 months of finasteride treatment significantly improved idiopathic hirsutism in women, with benefits persisting 6 months post-treatment and no adverse reactions observed.

This review discusses androgen manipulation strategies for conditions like benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostatic carcinoma but reports no new clinical results.

In this review, researchers examined the physiological benefits of Cheonggukjang, a salt-free fermented soybean paste, highlighting its various health-promoting components that may contribute to improved heart health, diabetes management, and cancer prevention, among other benefits.

This article discusses various hormonal therapies for acne and provides practical treatment guidelines for managing hormonally related acne, but it reports no new research findings.

This study found that cutaneous pyridoxal 5'-phosphate hydrolase activity may be carried out by an enzyme different from the classical tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase in human and mouse skin.

This review discusses the relationship between hyperandrogenism and insulin resistance in PCOS, focusing on insulin dynamics, molecular mechanisms, genetic studies, and potential long-term treatments, but presents no new clinical results.

This review discusses the structure and function of steroid nuclear receptors, particularly focusing on androgen receptor dysregulation in prostate cancer and androgen insensitivity syndromes, without reporting new experimental results.

This case report describes an elderly multiple myeloma patient whose hair repigmentation was associated with lenalidomide use, suggesting hair graying may be reversible.

Testosterone therapy aims to treat hormone deficiencies and various conditions safely and effectively, but requires careful patient monitoring due to potential side effects.

This review reports that women with polycystic ovary syndrome are at 28%–50% higher risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection, with increased rates of COVID-19-related hospitalization, morbidity, and mortality.

This review examines hormonal influences on acne development and available hormonal therapies but reports no new clinical results.

This review explores various hormone influences on hair growth and loss beyond androgens, noting that clinical hormone therapies for aging may impact hair due to associated hormone level reductions, but reports no new empirical results.

This review discusses various anti-androgen treatments for hirsutism, including androgen receptor blockers and inhibitors, and emphasizes the role of diagnosis in selecting the most appropriate therapy, but reports no new clinical results.

These drugs cause hair growth without affecting testosterone or adrenal hormones.

This review discusses the impact of COVID-19 on the endocrine system and reports no clinical results; the authors emphasize the need to investigate endocrine damage during and after COVID-19 infection.

This review explores the autoimmune hypothesis of alopecia areata and the possible genetic and melanogenesis-associated autoantigens, but reports no new clinical findings.

This review examines the role of cyclodextrins in improving the solubility, stability, and bioavailability of steroid drugs but does not report new experimental findings.

This review highlights that frontal fibrosing alopecia’s increasing incidence may involve immune, genetic, hormonal, and environmental factors, yet its pathogenesis remains complex and not fully understood.

This study found that a low-dose intermittent finasteride regimen significantly reduced hirsutism scores in adolescent girls with PCOS or idiopathic hirsutism, with similar efficacy but potentially safer and less expensive than continuous administration.

This article reviews the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of female pattern hair loss, highlighting the importance of early medical intervention to arrest hair loss progression, but reports no new clinical results.

Men with baldness have higher levels of specific proteins, suggesting local hormone production may play a role in hair loss.
