This study found that 62% of neutered dogs with hair cycle arrest experienced partial to complete hair re-growth after melatonin treatment, but hair re-growth was not consistently linked to normal sex hormone levels.

This study found that the androgen precursors DHEA and androstenedione stimulated androgen-sensitive parameters in the sebaceous glands of the skin in castrated male hamsters.

This study found that finasteride administered for 28 days had no significant effect on adrenal steroidogenesis in healthy men, aside from inhibiting androstenedione metabolism.

This study found that women with polycystic ovary syndrome have more pronounced metabolic alterations and higher androgen levels compared to women with eumenorrheic hyperandrogenism, suggesting EuHyperA may be a milder form of PCOS.

This study reviewed the current understanding of congenital adrenal hyperplasia from 21-hydroxylase deficiency, highlighting the impact of universal newborn screening in reducing mortality and discussing ongoing treatment challenges and future therapeutic prospects.

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 study found that diagnosing non-classical 3 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase deficiency solely based on elevated serum or urinary 5-ene-steroids may not be reliable.

This study found that adrenal sex hormone levels were elevated in neutered dogs with hypercortisolemia, except for testosterone, highlighting the importance of ruling out hypercortisolemia when diagnosing adrenal hyperplasia syndrome.

This study shows that measuring 17-hydroxyprogesterone concentrations in scalp hair may be a useful noninvasive tool for monitoring treatment in adults with congenital adrenal hyperplasia.

This study found that measuring certain steroids in hair can help diagnose and monitor congenital adrenal hyperplasia in Indonesian patients, offering a simple noninvasive method for developing countries.

This case report describes a patient with an ovarian steroid cell tumor that initially presented as non-classical adrenal hyperplasia, emphasizing the difficulty in differential diagnosis with hyperandrogenism and the importance of close clinical monitoring.

This report describes almost complete resolution of calcinosis and healing of associated ulcers in an 83-year-old woman with localized scleroderma after repeated intralesional steroid injections.

In this study, adolescents with depressive symptoms were found to have higher urinary excretion rates of certain steroid metabolites, including corticosterone and adrenal hormones, and a specific metabolite ratio was identified as a potential biomarker for distinguishing these patients from healthy controls.

This case report highlights the challenge of differentiating between non-classical adrenal hyperplasia and steroid cell tumors of the ovary in a patient presenting with hyperandrogenism.

This study observed that adding simvastatin to ongoing metformin treatment reduced certain androgen levels in women with non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia and abnormal glucose metabolism, suggesting a potential therapeutic benefit.

This review discusses the presence of the StAR protein in 17 non-classical steroidogenic tissues, suggesting that advanced detection methods are needed for a complete understanding of its functions in these tissues.

This review discusses nonclassical 21-hydroxylase deficiency as the most common autosomal recessive disorder in humans and highlights the effectiveness of glucocorticoid treatment in reversing related symptoms.

This study found that despite the presence of steroidogenesis inhibitors, CRPC tumor cells adapt to continue synthesizing androgens, suggesting a need for more effective androgen axis targeting.

This study found that human hair follicles can function like a peripheral hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, synthesizing cortisol in response to corticotropin-releasing hormone and adrenocorticotropic hormone stimulation.

This review discusses current and evolving treatment strategies for congenital adrenal hyperplasia in adolescents and adults, focusing on glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid therapy and the management of insulin resistance, without reporting new clinical results.

In this study, Pomeranians with non-illness, generalized alopecia did not exhibit adrenal or pituitary abnormalities, suggesting a breed-specific hormonal pattern as a potential cause rather than a functional adrenal anomaly.

This case report describes a 57-year-old woman's virilizing adrenal tumor effectively treated with the antiandrogen cyproterone acetate, which led to symptom reversal and tumor resolution.

This study found that distinct isoenzymes of 3 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase are expressed in human adrenals and gonads compared to the placenta and skin.

In this study, women with androgenic alopecia showed increased excretion of steroid metabolites and heightened 5α-reductase activity, suggesting these may contribute to the condition's hormonal abnormalities.

This study found evidence suggesting that hypertrichosis may be an adverse effect of inhaled corticosteroids in children, although it does not always resolve after stopping treatment.

This report of three cases found that diagnosing hypercortisolism during pregnancy can be challenging, but early detection using unbound steroid levels and MRI could prevent severe complications.

This case report presents a rare instance of an ovarian steroid cell tumor in a 68-year-old female with virilism, which normalized androgen levels following surgical removal.

This case report presents a 60-year-old woman with virilization and elevated adrenal androgens, where a bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy confirmed ovarian steroid cell tumor NOS, and her symptoms resolved post-operatively.

Women with effluvium have higher levels of certain urinary steroids, possibly due to stress and increased adrenal activity.
