This review discusses genetic and epigenetic studies of PCOS, highlighting Genome-Wide Association Studies that found genetic variants related to gonadotrophin secretion influencing PCOS susceptibility, but it reports no new findings.

This review discusses the manifestations of non-classical congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency across different life stages, but reports no new findings.

This review discusses the multifactorial causes of female sexual dysfunction and reports no clinical results; it emphasizes the need for thorough evaluation before considering androgen therapy.

This article reviews the pathophysiology and causes of androgen-mediated hair growth in hirsutism but does not report any clinical outcomes; treatment aspects are discussed separately.

This study found no significant differences in dry eye disease parameters between female patients with androgenetic alopecia and healthy controls, although meibum quality was better in the alopecia group, suggesting complex hormonal interplay affecting ocular health.

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.

This study highlights lichen planopilaris as a form of scarring hair loss with symptoms like shedding and itching, and notes successful treatment options such as topical and oral antiinflammatory medications to preserve hair follicles by early intervention.

This research found that androgen bioactivity plays a role in normal female sexual differentiation, suggesting females develop within a significant androgenic environment, with implications for understanding conditions like congenital adrenal hyperplasia.

The book is a valuable reference on androgenic disorders for professionals but not suitable for laypeople or medical students.

This study discusses the potential of targeting 11β-HSD1 for treating metabolic syndrome and highlights emerging promising data from human trials on selective 11β-HSD1 inhibitors.

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 review discusses management strategies for sexual side effects of aromatase inhibitors in postmenopausal breast cancer patients and reports no original clinical findings.

Acne is caused by genetics, diet, hormones, and bacteria, with treatments not yet curative.

This article discusses the role of neurohormones and neuropeptides in hair follicle pigmentation and outlines promising neuroendocrinological strategies to address greying and damage, but reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the pharmacological properties and physiological regulation of neuroactive steroids, focusing on their varied responses to stress and ethanol in rats, mice, and humans, but it reports no new findings.

This review discusses the etiology, diagnosis, and management strategies for hirsutism, noting that serious underlying disorders are rare and emphasizing targeted treatment to manage testosterone's effects.

This study found that finasteride impaired stress reactivity and reduced exploratory and impulsive behaviors in rats, potentially by altering the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis function.

This article reviews the differential diagnosis of mild hyperandrogenism in adolescent girls, discussing potential causes such as PCOS and nonclassic adrenal hyperplasia, but presents no new data.

Acne in dark skin is influenced by environmental factors and can lead to hyperpigmentation, with various treatment options available.

This study concluded that antimullerian hormone levels are not generally effective for distinguishing late onset congenital adrenal hyperplasia from all hyperandrogenic polycystic ovary syndrome subtypes, except one specific subtype.

In this study involving rats with letrozole-induced polycystic ovary syndrome, Agaricus subrufescens significantly reduced blood glucose, total cholesterol, testosterone levels, and renal markers, suggesting its potential protective effects on both metabolic and reproductive parameters.

This study found that higher levels of cortisol (F) and cortisone (E) in hair before stroke onset were significantly associated with post-stroke depression and anxiety, suggesting they could serve as potential predictors for these mood disorders.

This study highlights how the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated stress-related dermatological issues like acne and hair loss by affecting skin and hair cycles through stress hormones, emphasizing the need for comprehensive psychoneuroendocrine-informed approaches to diagnosis and treatment.

Women with severe acne, hirsutism, and androgenic alopecia often have higher levels of certain androgens, but the specific pattern can't be predicted just by looking at symptoms.

This article reviews the use of hair cortisol concentration as a biomarker to assess long-term stress in both animals and humans, but it reports no new experimental results.

This review posits that alopecia in PCOS results from the interaction between local follicular signaling failures, insulin resistance, inflammation, and genetic predispositions, rather than solely from androgen excess, and recommends a systems-level framework for its management.

This study found an association between abnormally high plasma testosterone concentrations and aggressive behaviors in certain autistic individuals.

This review outlines a diagnostic approach for identifying non-PCOS pathology in women with androgen excess, emphasizing the importance of clinical history and biochemical phenotyping but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that individuals with a recent history of suicide attempts exhibited altered DHEA hair levels, suggesting possible dysregulation of the HPA axis as a biopsychosocial feature, and recommends further investigation into hair hormones as potential markers of suicidal crisis and vulnerability.

This study found no clear evidence that finasteride negatively affects erectile function, though it does cause a reduction in ejaculatory volume and has potential implications for prostate cancer risk.
