In this study, researchers observed that chronic stress affected wild-derived house mice differently by sex, with females showing less weight gain and distinct behavioral changes, while males exhibited higher hair corticosterone levels, suggesting divergent coping strategies and implications for sex-specific stress assessment protocols.

This report describes a rare case of elevated serum DHEAS levels in a postmenopausal woman, linked to an ovarian sex cord-stromal tumor rather than the adrenal glands, challenging common assumptions about androgen sources.

In this case study, a 69-year-old woman with signs of virilization and high testosterone levels was found to have an ovarian steroid cell tumor, highlighting the importance of systematically investigating such symptoms in postmenopausal women to determine the underlying etiology and prevent poor prognosis.

This study found that spironolactone at 200 mg/day effectively reduced facial hair growth in women with moderate to severe hirsutism, with improvements observed within two months and sustained over one year.

This study found that high prepubertal and pubertal androgen levels, originating from both adrenal and gonadal secretion, were negatively associated with adult height outcomes in males with Silver-Russell syndrome.

This review discusses various skin diseases with endocrinological origins and reports no clinical results, highlighting the need for interdisciplinary understanding in diagnosis.

This review discusses the early developmental origin of premature adrenarche and polycystic ovary syndrome and highlights potential utero-based mechanisms, reporting no new clinical findings.

In this case study, a 68-year-old woman with hyperandrogenism and presumed ovarian origin responded well to GnRH agonist therapy, normalizing testosterone levels and stabilizing blood pressure, suggesting its effectiveness as a non-surgical treatment option.

This article reviews the causes and treatments of hirsutism, emphasizing the importance of considering ethnic and cultural norms when interpreting grading systems, and reports no new original findings.

This article presents a case of congenital adrenal hyperplasia and myelolipoma in a 56-year-old woman, describing her symptoms and characteristics without offering new clinical results.

The authors concluded that plasma levels of 3α-diolG, ADTG, and DHTG in women with hyperandrogenic disorders primarily reflect adrenal androgen contributions rather than peripheral action, suggesting a potential index for treatment effectiveness.

This review discusses the overlapping clinical features and diagnostic challenges of non-classic adrenal hyperplasia and polycystic ovary syndrome without presenting original research findings.

This case study describes a testosterone-secreting adrenal adenoma in a 55-year-old woman, highlighting the presence of Reinke's crystalloids, suggesting that Leydig cells may play a role in such tumors.

This review discusses imaging's role in the diagnosis and management of congenital adrenal hyperplasia and reports no new clinical results; it suggests a potential presentation route via incidental radiologic findings.

This case report details a postmenopausal woman with hyperandrogenism due to both adrenal adenoma and ovarian hyperthecosis, highlighting the effectiveness of hormonal suppression and venous sampling for diagnosis.

In this case series, the authors reported that postmenopausal hyperandrogenism should be carefully evaluated to diagnose potential androgen-secreting tumors, with Sertoli-Leydig cell tumors identified as a common cause.

This review examines the physiological role of androgen conjugates in cutaneous androgen metabolism and questions their association with hirsutism, without presenting new clinical findings.

This review discusses hormonal changes during menopause, emphasizing the relative androgen excess and the role of insulin resistance, and reports no new clinical findings.

This case report describes a postmenopausal woman with hirsutism and androgenetic alopecia, where imaging ruled out malignancy and selective venous sampling indicated increased testosterone from the right adrenal vein, leading to a recommendation for right adrenalectomy and oophorectomy.

This case study from Boston University details a 35-year-old woman diagnosed with congenital adrenal hyperplasia, treated with dexamethasone, leading to normalized androgen levels and successful conception.

This clinical study explores the causes, progression, and treatment of hirsutism in females, noting its association with tumors in endocrine glands, but does not report new clinical results.

This study found that ethinylestradiol and high-dose cyproterone acetate significantly reduced hirsutism scores and were effective for treating acne and alopecia in women with hyperandrogenism.

This paper reviews the endocrinological aspects of hirsutism, focusing on the role of androgens in excessive hair growth and the related disorders, without presenting new findings.

This review highlights the multifaceted roles of skin in immune and endocrine functions, stressing its contributions to psycho-immunological and psycho-endocrine responses, but presents no new research findings.

This review discusses emerging concepts in PCOS from the AEPCOS 2010 meeting and reports no clinical findings; it suggests that the transition of care in congenital adrenal hyperplasia could inform PCOS adolescent care.

This report describes two cases of alopecia in neutered female ferrets linked to neoplastic tissue at the site of an ovarian pedicle, suggesting an ovarian origin for the tumors.

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 case study highlights the challenges of diagnosing hyperandrogenism in postmenopausal women, reporting a patient with androgenic alopecia and high testosterone due to a benign Leydig cell tumor in the ovary; surgery successfully normalized testosterone levels.

This article outlines common and serious causes of excessive body hair in women, noting that benign conditions like polycystic ovarian syndrome are treatable, while dangerous causes require swift medical attention; it reports no new results.

This case report describes a postmenopausal woman with hirsutism and hair loss attributed to ovarian stromal hyperplasia; surgical removal of the ovaries normalized testosterone levels and resolved symptoms.
