This article reviews the interaction between sex hormone pathways and morphogenesis-related signaling in epithelial organ development, using a chicken model to propose testable hypotheses, but reports no new clinical results.

This study reports two distinct patterns of hair changes in postmenopausal women, linking diffuse generalized scalp hair loss to older age and frontal hair loss to higher facial hair scores and younger age.

This study found that sex differences in somatostatin biosynthesis in rat hypothalamic neurons develop between postnatal day 1 and 5, influenced by the conversion of testosterone to estrogen.

This chapter discusses androgen receptors and protein synthesis in the prostate, reporting that DHT-dependent receptor protein translocation increases protein-synthesizing activity after androgen injection in rat models.

This study observed that cells from androgen-sensitive areas like the beard and scrotum showed higher androgen receptor levels compared to those from non-balding scalp areas, supporting the role of dermal papilla in follicle growth responses to androgens.

This study found that androgen receptor activation in adult mouse skin reduces β-catenin-induced hair follicle growth and sebaceous gland conversion, highlighting its role in stem cell fate decisions.

This review discusses potential treatments for androgen excess in polycystic ovary syndrome and reports no new findings, emphasizing the importance of individualized antiandrogenic management to minimize side effects.

This review discusses guidelines for androgen use in women and concludes that more research is needed before recommending testosterone due to insufficient evidence on safety and efficacy.

This study found that lifestyle interventions improved body composition, hyperandrogenism, and insulin resistance in women with PCOS, but did not affect glucose tolerance, lipid profiles, or clinical reproductive outcomes.

Small hormonal imbalances can cause significant health problems, so more sensitive testing for hormone-disrupting chemicals is needed.

This study found that among women with PCOS, higher HOMA-IR levels were associated with acanthosis nigricans, and increased DHEA-SO4, FAI, and FI values were linked to hirsutism.

This review discusses age-related and environmental factors affecting scalp hair changes in women, highlighting diagnostic complexities and ongoing research into targeted treatments, without reporting new clinical results.

This case report described a 9-year-old girl initially suspected to have complete androgen insensitivity syndrome, whose laboratory tests later suggested an alternative diagnosis involving atypical steroid metabolism patterns and hormonal responses.

This study found that penile and clitoral differentiation in mice is influenced by androgen exposure, with penile features developing postnatally requiring prenatal and ongoing androgen presence.

This study found that osteopontin mRNA is abundantly expressed in dermal papilla cells during the catagen phase of hair growth in rats, suggesting a role in this phase.

This study developed a novel Smart DNA Biosensor for easy and efficient primary diagnosis of androgen receptors overexpression, which may aid in the rapid differential diagnosis of conditions like acne and androgenetic alopecia.

This study found diverse responses to the androgen dihydrotestosterone in rodent tissues, with most androgen-regulated processes being specific to particular tissues.

This chapter reviews recent findings on androgen receptor function, structure, and interactions, highlighting post-translational modifications and mutations related to prostate cancer, but reports no new experimental results.

This article from the 4th Intercontinental Meeting of Hair Research Societies provides no abstract or new findings.

This review discusses the role of 5α-reductase enzymes in androgen action and related disorders, noting that their specific inhibitory drugs show promise for conditions like benign prostatic hypertrophy; it reports no new clinical results.

This review highlights that idiopathic hirsutism is characterized by local hyperandrogenization affecting hair growth, without other signs of hyperandrogenism, and shows no new results; racial differences in prevalence are noted but not in androgenic steroids.

This paper reviews diffuse androgen-dependent alopecia and chronic telogen effluvium in women, highlighting diagnostic challenges and management issues, but reports no new clinical findings; the authors suggest effective treatments are available.

This article discusses primary cutaneous virilism, focusing on alopecia in women with androgen-dependent skin conditions, and reports no new findings.

The document concludes that treatments for female hair loss and excess body hair are available, but managing expectations is important.

This study found that men with early-onset androgenetic alopecia had larger prostate volumes and lower urinary flow rates compared to those without the condition, suggesting a potential link between AGA and urinary symptoms.

This study found that the petroleum ether extract of Citrullus colocynthis fruit and an isolated steroidal compound may reduce prostatic hyperplasia in rats induced by testosterone, suggesting potential use in managing androgen-dependent conditions.

This study demonstrated that steroidal carbamates 7–10 altered mRNA expression related to lipid metabolism in hamster flank organs and inhibited 5α-reductase activity without binding to the progesterone receptor.

Hair loss in women is genetic, diagnosed by examination and biopsy, and treated with minoxidil, finasteride, or transplantation.

This study found that flutamide was more effective than spironolactone in reducing symptoms of hirsutism and related conditions in premenopausal women, with fewer discontinuations due to side effects.

This article discusses the association of acne with various systemic diseases, emphasizing the role of androgen steroids, insulin resistance, and inflammation in acne pathogenesis, but it reports no new clinical results.
