This review summarizes how genetic studies using conditional β-catenin loss- and gain-of-function mice have advanced understanding of canonical Wnt signaling's role in embryonic development, adult stem cell maintenance, and cancer modeling.

This study observed that acute stress in rats increased neurosteroid levels linked to enhanced GABA(A) receptor function, raising seizure thresholds, while similar effects were seen in mice with deoxycorticosterone administration.

This review examines the adaptive value and mechanisms of seasonal coat colour moulting in birds and mammals, highlighting the challenge of camouflage mismatch and the necessity for evolutionary adaptation under climate change.

This study found that gonadal dysfunction is very common in premenopausal women with acromegaly and may be caused by hyperprolactinemia, GH/IGF-I excess, or tumor effects.

This study found a high prevalence of clinical signs and functional disorders of androgen excess in premenopausal women, with idiopathic hyperandrogenism and idiopathic hirsutism rates similar to PCOS.

This review discusses the genetics and variable phenotypic expression of nonclassic congenital adrenal hyperplasia, and reports no new clinical results; the authors call for further research on long-term health impacts and treatment strategies.

This review discusses the negative health impacts of testosterone deficiency and the potential adverse effects of 5α-reductase inhibitors, emphasizing the need for patient-physician discussions regarding these treatments.

This review discusses the structure, expression, regulation, and potential roles of NcoA4 in cancer and other pathologies, reporting no new experimental findings.

This study suggests that the protease HAT-L4 plays a significant role in maintaining epidermal barrier function to prevent body fluid loss, as its absence in mice led to increased fluid loss and higher mortality.

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

This review discusses the role of acyl-CoA binding protein (ACBP) in the epidermal barrier, noting that its disruption in mice is linked to skin and fur abnormalities; it reports no new clinical results.

This study compared the echocardiographic profiles of patients with polycystic ovary syndrome to those of healthy subjects using conventional methods and tissue Doppler imaging, but it reports no specific findings here.

The researchers observed that normal murine hair follicles are direct targets for melatonin, with receptor expression varying throughout the hair cycle, suggesting melatonin's role in hair cycle control.

In this study, the CYP 21A2 gene p.V281L mutation was associated with an increased susceptibility to familial frontal fibrosing alopecia, suggesting an antigen-driven mechanism linked to certain human leukocyte antigen haplotypes.

This study developed a new method for detecting 30 hormones in anti-aging functional foods, demonstrating good sensitivity and reliability, and identified seven hormones in four out of 14 samples tested.

The GH-IGF-I axis is likely involved in the hormonal imbalances seen in non-obese women with functional hyperandrogenism.

This study found that US adults with classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia most preferred a hypothetical adjunctive therapy that prevents glucocorticoid-induced weight gain over other potential benefits.

This case report highlights that women with nonclassical congenital adrenal hyperplasia should be aware of the risk of having a child with classical CAH if their partner also carries a severe mutation.

In this study from IJIRT, researchers evaluated teaching programs focused on enhancing waste management knowledge among women, assessing the effectiveness of these educational initiatives.

This case report describes the first confirmed instances of X-linked adrenomyeloneuropathy/adrenoleukodystrophy in two brothers from Bangladesh, noting their progressive neurological symptoms, MRI findings, and differing disease outcomes over several years of observation.

This study observed no teratogenic effects of oral decongestants and surprisingly favorable neonatal outcomes in Swedish women who used them during pregnancy.

This review examines the epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management strategies for non-classic congenital hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency, and provides evidence-based recommendations for its treatment and genetic counseling.

This article discusses the challenges in diagnosing non-classical congenital adrenal hyperplasia and emphasizes personalized treatment approaches, reporting no new clinical results.

This article presents a case of primary adrenal localization of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in a 70-year-old woman, detailing her diagnosis and treatment, with no signs of recurrent disease after polychemotherapy and radiotherapy.

This study found that premenopausal women with non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia may have increased cardiometabolic risk compared to healthy women.

This study found that serum steroid profiling, particularly 11-deoxycortisol, can effectively differentiate between ACC and ACA, while considering sex differences and functional status for other steroids is important.

This review discusses the neurobiology of sexual function and reports no new results; the authors cover multiple endocrine and neurotransmitter influences on sexual desire, arousal, and orgasm stages.

This study determined that nonclassical congenital adrenal hyperplasia has a 2.2% prevalence among hyperandrogenic women in Spain, with basal serum 17-hydroxyprogesterone showing excellent diagnostic performance.

This study found that parents identified with cryptic NCCAH through genetic testing are mostly asymptomatic but may experience temporary female infertility and require glucocorticoid stress coverage in specific circumstances.

This review discusses how the HSD3B1(1245C) genotype may impact androgen physiology and the progression of castration-resistant prostate cancer, and does not report new experimental results.
