This study describes the first case of female pseudohermaphroditism due to a novel homozygous glucocorticoid receptor gene mutation, indicating possible pre- and postnatal virilization in affected females.

This study found that women with androgenic alopecia had a higher prevalence of polycystic ovarian morphology and higher androgen levels compared to controls, suggesting a strong association with PCO.

This study found that nafarelin treatment significantly reduced androgen levels and improved hirsutism symptoms in women, suggesting it may be useful for managing this condition.

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

This study found that treatment with leuprolide plus cyclic estrogen/progestin may lead to a faster and greater improvement in hirsutism compared to a standard oral contraceptive regimen.

This study provides further evidence for a genetic basis of PCOS, showing that polycystic ovarian morphology is a marker of inherited biochemical features in families with PCOS.

In this study, transgender adolescents treated with testosterone for a median of 12 months experienced effective virilization, including voice deepening and increased hair growth, but also showed decreased HDL cholesterol and BMD z-scores, and increased hematocrit, with no short-term safety issues reported.

This study found that women with PCOS have elevated serum androgen levels throughout adulthood, with these levels decreasing and variations increasing as they approach menopause.

This study found that myo-inositol treatment reduced hirsutism and acne in women with PCOS by improving their metabolic profiles, including lower insulin and testosterone levels.

In this study, treatment with the oral contraceptive containing 30 μg ethinyl oestradiol and 150 μg desogestrel significantly reduced androgen-dependent hair growth in hirsute women over one year.

In this study, acne severity in females was strongly associated with inflammatory lesion count and moderately associated with androgens, especially DELTA 4 and DHEAS promoting acne and SHBG reducing it.

This study found that prenatal exposure to certain pesticides may lead to earlier breast development in girls, potentially associated with higher androgen levels.

This study found that an 8-month treatment with a low-dose oral contraceptive significantly reduced testosterone levels and hair growth in women with polycystic ovary syndrome and hirsutism, with minimal side effects.

This study defined menstrual phase-specific reference intervals for circulating androgen levels in young women, highlighting that anovulatory females showed higher androgen, LH, and FSH levels compared to ovulatory females.

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.

In this study, researchers identified and examined males with 17 beta-HSD3 deficiency in a highly inbred Arab population, noting genetic findings and the progression of male characteristics despite being raised as females initially.

In this study, ketoconazole treatment improved acne in all women and reduced hirsutism in some, but it caused several side effects and requires careful monitoring.

This review examines androgen status in male and female obesity and its influence on the metabolic syndrome, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that lean women with PCOS have a similar degree of tissue insulin resistance as obese women with PCOS, suggesting that insulin resistance may be a primary feature of the syndrome.

This study found that prenatal antiandrogen treatment in female spotted hyenas significantly altered the LH response to GnRH, indicating partial masculinization of their anterior pituitary gland without affecting ovulatory function.

This study found that in dogs with alopecia, certain steroid hormone levels were elevated, particularly progesterone, but not all hormone abnormalities were consistent across breeds, suggesting the need for breed-specific evaluation.

This study found that among women above 15 years with acne, 54.56% exhibited hyperandrogenism, with dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate levels most frequently elevated.

In this study, two different estroprogestin treatments significantly improved skin conditions and decreased androgen levels in hyperandrogenic women, with EE/DRSP showing more pronounced hormonal changes and skin improvements compared to EE/CMA.

This study suggests that many men with premature balding exhibit a hormonal pattern similar to some aspects of polycystic ovary syndrome in women.

This study observed that flutamide treatment reduced hair growth and improved acne and seborrhea in hirsute women, with increased androstenedione levels and no side effects noted.

This report describes two cases of alopecia in neutered female ferrets linked to neoplastic tissue at the site of an ovarian pedicle, suggesting an ovarian origin for the tumors.

This study found that one year of antiandrogen treatment with spironolactone significantly decreased bone mineral density in young women with androgen excess.

This study found that local androgen biosynthesis and metabolism in human sebaceous glands play a crucial role in sebum synthesis and secretion.

This study observed that testosterone metabolism and androgen receptor localization differ significantly across body sites, with beard hair follicles showing distinct characteristics compared to occipital scalp hair follicles.

In this study, men taking 1 mg/day of finasteride for 12 months showed minor metabolic changes and slight improvements in glucose metabolism.
