This review discusses the causes and treatments of hirsutism in women and reports no clinical results; it emphasizes the importance of identifying androgen-secreting tumors that require distinct therapy.

This study reported that MALDI-TOF Mass Spectrometry profiling demonstrated nearly 100% sensitivity and specificity in detecting adenomyosis and leiomyoma, revealing potential peptide markers for these conditions.

This paper reviews the diagnostic criteria, etiological factors, and treatment approaches for PCOS, highlighting the importance of considering metabolic issues such as insulin resistance and obesity, but reports no new findings.

This paper discusses key mechanisms of androgen metabolism in androgenetic alopecia and reports the effectiveness of treatments like oral finasteride and topical minoxidil, highlighting the limited success rate due to factors like follicular inflammation.

This article reviews the clinical features, diagnostic criteria, and possible genetic and environmental influences of polycystic ovary syndrome but provides no new research findings.

This study found that neonatal blocking of androgen and estrogen pathways in rats altered sex-specific expression of estrogen and androgen receptors in adult pituitary and adrenal glands, potentially influencing lifelong neuroendocrine function.

This study found that in vitro environments simulating testosterone levels in elderly males, testosterone and its metabolite DHT significantly reduced macrophages' ability to phagocytize MRSA and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, suggesting AR manipulation and inhibiting testosterone-DHT conversion might help fight wound infections in the elderly.

This review discusses hirsutism management guidelines, recommending androgen testing only for women with abnormal hirsutism scores and advocating for combined therapy approaches depending on severity and underlying conditions, but it reports no new clinical results.

This case report describes a 15-year-old girl with severe hyperandrogenaemia linked to both an ovarian androgen-secreting tumor and HAIR-AN syndrome, highlighting the complexity of diagnosing polycystic ovarian syndrome.

This review discusses the diagnostic criteria and challenges in recognizing polycystic ovary syndrome, noting varied phenotypes and the absence of consensus on renaming the condition; it reports no new findings.

This review discusses the criteria, diagnosis, and treatment options for polycystic ovary syndrome and reports no new clinical results; it highlights the need for further research on causative treatments.

This article discusses the influence of estrogens on hair follicle growth and metabolism, suggesting a significant role alongside androgens in hair growth control but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that the hHa7 gene in hair follicle trichocytes is the first identified to have its expression directly regulated by androgens, suggesting it as a marker for androgen action on hair follicles.

This study investigated a patient with spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy who had 68 CAG repeats, revealing early onset and unique symptoms not previously documented in the condition.

This review discusses the pathophysiology, genetics, and management of nonclassic congenital adrenal hyperplasia, noting subfertility and hormonal issues without providing new clinical results.

This study found that nuclear androgen receptor expression was enhanced by dihydrotestosterone in rat gubernacular mesenchyme, but this did not affect muscle morphology or matrix composition during fetal development.

This study found that intracrine androgen signaling via 5α-reductase is essential for optimal endometrial decidualization and vascular development during this process in mice.

This study found that in PCOS women, polycystic ovarian morphology is linked to more severe hormonal imbalances and insulin resistance, especially in those who are overweight or obese.

This study found that intracrine androgen signaling, mediated by steroid 5α-reductase, is essential for optimal decidualization and vascular development in the endometrium during pregnancy, indicating potential targets for improving age-related fertility issues.

This review discusses the multifaceted actions of metformin in polycystic ovary syndrome and reports no new clinical results; the authors emphasize metformin's potential benefits in both cardiometabolic and reproductive aspects of PCOS.

This study found that inhibiting 5α-reductase in molluscs provokes a specific shell morphology, suggesting gastropods might have unique 5α-reductase substrates absent in vertebrates.

This review discusses the link between PCOS and acne, highlighting the roles of hyperandrogenism and insulin resistance, but it reports no new clinical findings.

This article reviews the historical development of understanding the hair growth cycle, particularly anagen, catagen, and telogen phases, and reports no new clinical findings.

This review discusses the role of skeletal muscle in synthesizing bioactive androgens, highlighting that intramuscular androgens may influence muscle via intracrine action, but their precise function remains unclear.

This study established a new cell line from human hair follicle stem cells that maintains stem cell properties and differentiation capabilities, providing a useful in vitro model for stem cell research.

This article discusses the various roles of steroids in vertebrate organ systems and notes several glucocorticoids that were among the Top 200 Drugs by sales in the 2010s, but it reports no new clinical findings.

This review discusses the role of androgens in male sexual differentiation and characteristics and reports no new clinical results; it emphasizes the androgen dependence of male pattern scalp hair loss.

This study found pathogenic mutations in genes EDA, EDA1R, and EDARADD in 101 out of 124 hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia patients, revealing 23 novel mutations and indicating genetic variability.

This review discusses the challenges in measuring testosterone for assessing androgen excess in women and emphasizes the importance of quality control in laboratory methods, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study found that 27% of women with polycystic ovary syndrome reported perceived scalp hair thinning, which was associated with factors like advancing age, subjective hirsutism, disturbed sleep, smoking, abnormal glucose tolerance, and meal skipping.
