A young woman's symptoms suggested PCOS, but tests and surgery confirmed and treated a rare ovarian tumor, resolving her condition.

Excess androgens may cause PCOS, not just be a symptom.

Genetic defects in testosterone production can cause hormonal and developmental disorders, and more research is needed to understand androgen regulation and develop safer treatments.

Genetic mutations can affect female sexual development, requiring personalized medical care.

Hair follicles are hormone-sensitive and involved in growth and other functions, with potential for new treatments, but more research is needed.

Brain hormones significantly affect hair color and could potentially be used to prevent or reverse grey hair.

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is common in women with conditions like anovulation, hirsutism, hair loss, and type 2 diabetes, and it can lead to health risks like heart disease, obesity, insulin resistance, and depression. Non-Classic Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (NC-CAH) is also discussed.

The Rotterdam Study found risk factors for elderly diseases, links between lifestyle and genetics with health conditions, and aimed to explore new areas like DNA methylation and sensory input effects on brain function.

A woman's rare benign tumor that released both cortisol and testosterone was successfully removed, improving her health.

Ketoconazole is effective for treating various fungal infections and has new uses in dermatology, but oral use can have serious side effects.

Acne is significantly influenced by genetics, and understanding its genetic basis could lead to better, targeted treatments.

LC-MS/MS is more reliable than immunoassays for diagnosing 21-hydroxylase deficiency.

The study concluded that similar pathways regulate hair growth in dogs and mice, and these pathways are disrupted in dogs with Alopecia X, affecting stem cells and hormone metabolism.

Prostate cancer cells can make their own androgens to activate the androgen receptor, and treatments like abiraterone may increase this ability, suggesting new therapies should target the entire steroid-making pathway.

Stress hormone corticosterone blocks a growth factor to slow down hair stem cell activity and hair growth.

Recent genetic insights show that low-renin hypertension includes a range from essential hypertension to secondary or familial forms, affecting diagnosis and treatment.

Hyperandrogenism increases heart disease risk in premenopausal women, but this risk is linked to obesity in postmenopausal women.
