This review discusses the physiological process of adrenarche, its impact on behavior and skeletal maturation, and its variability across sex and race, but reports no new clinical results.

This case report highlights the need to consider complementary and alternative medicine use in endocrine evaluations, as stopping lavender oil use coincided with normalization of a concerning lab finding in a girl with precocious puberty signs.

This study observed that androgen levels rise with pubic hair development in Tanner stages, differing by sex and age, with DHEA showing a significant prepubertal increase especially in precocious adrenarche.

In this study, administering dexamethasone rapidly normalized elevated steroid levels in girls with premature adrenarche.

This article reviews the characteristics, diagnosis, and management of premature adrenarche and suggests it may predict future ovarian hyperandrogenism in some adolescents; no new clinical results are reported.

This study found that prepubertal Hispanic girls with idiopathic premature adrenarche did not show differences in 5 alpha-reductase or 11 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase activities compared to controls.

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 six-year-old girl was diagnosed with isolated adrenarche, linked to premature adrenal maturation, with increased dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate and axillary and pubic hair growth, and will require long-term monitoring due to increased risks of conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome and cardiovascular diseases.

This study found that plasma androgen levels tend to be lower than normal in patients with multiple pituitary hormone deficiencies, particularly those with ACTH deficiencies, and that human growth hormone treatment does not affect adrenal androgen secretion.

In this study, researchers found that oestrogen did not increase adrenal androgen secretion in children with premature adrenarche or in adolescents with gonadal dysgenesis undergoing oestrogen replacement therapy.

Women's ovarian hormones and adrenal androgens change throughout life, affecting hair loss and health.

This article discusses testosterone production in the human body and its effects on muscle mass, bone density, metabolism, and skin, but reports no new findings.

This review discusses clinical, hormonal, and genetic aspects of nonclassic adrenal hyperplasia and reports no new findings; the condition is highlighted as a potential cause of premature adrenarche and other symptoms in young people.

In this retrospective review, the author discusses key discoveries in understanding androgen excess disorders like PCOS, focusing on genetic and molecular insights gained from 1965 to 2015.

This study suggests that 5-ADIOL-S may contribute to the synthesis of potent androgens in peripheral tissues, and 3 alpha-DIOL-S could be a marker of androgen metabolism in various female patient groups.

This review highlights that pediatric hirsutism, often linked to endocrine, metabolic, genetic, or neoplastic disorders, requires comprehensive evaluation to prevent long-term health issues, integrating advancements in androgen biosynthesis understanding and diagnostic and management strategies.

This discussion covers various nail disorders, including tumors and non-neoplastic issues, emphasizing that not all nail abnormalities are due to fungal infections, but it reports no new clinical findings.

This review discusses the classifications, diagnostic methods, and treatment strategies for female pattern hair loss, but reports no clinical results.

This review discusses the role of androgen hormones in skin and hair conditions and highlights the potential of antiandrogen therapies in dermatology, reporting no new results.

This article discusses the role of testosterone in the formation of male characteristics, muscle and bone development, and its impact on skin and hair, but provides no new clinical results.

This article reviews the role of hormones in human penis development and associated conditions due to hormonal imbalances, but reports no new findings, suggesting hormone replacement can manage some conditions.

Women with PCOS often have insulin resistance, abnormal lipid levels, and a higher risk of diabetes and heart disease; lifestyle changes and medication like metformin can help manage these risks.

This article discusses the unapproved use of metformin for treating polycystic ovary syndrome; it provides educational content for physicians but reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the role of DHEA in intracrinology, highlighting its impact on breast and prostate cancer treatment and potential as a menopause therapy, but reports no new research findings.

This systematic review concluded that the support for using spironolactone at commonly prescribed doses is based on evidence of limited quality.

This review covers the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency and reports no new findings.

This review discusses the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of congenital adrenal hyperplasia, but reports no new research results.

This study describes the enzymatic processes through which DHEA is converted to active sex steroids in human skin, highlighting an androgenic effect on sebaceous glands and estrogenic effects in the vagina.

This review discusses hidradenitis suppurativa's pathogenesis, including its inflammatory nature and the role of smoking as a triggering factor, but reports no new clinical results.
