This review discusses insulin resistance in women with polycystic ovary syndrome and reports no new clinical results; it highlights the potential benefits of lifestyle changes and insulin-sensitizing drugs.

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) often leads to severe acne, and lifestyle changes and hormonal treatments can help manage it.

This study found that the ethanolic extracts of G. glabra and Z. mauritiana roots did not prevent androgenic alopecia in a testosterone-induced animal model.

In this study, gender-affirming hormonal treatment was associated with increased hair growth, acne, and alopecia prevalence in transgender individuals assigned female at birth, while opposite dermatological changes were observed in those assigned male at birth.

This review highlights the role of sex hormones in skin health, observing that hormonal changes throughout a woman's life can affect skin conditions such as acne and hair loss, with treatments involving hormonal therapies and the importance of a multidisciplinary approach.

This review discusses the causes and management of hirsutism and suggests improvement can be achieved with a combination of hair removal, suppression of androgen production, and lifestyle changes over 6 to 9 months.

This study found that spironolactone reduced testosterone production and urinary 17-ketosteroid excretion, leading to a decrease in hair growth rate and a change in hair texture in women.

In this study, Urtica dioica extract was found to significantly downregulate 5-alpha-reductase type II gene expression in skin cells, suggesting potential usefulness against androgenic skin diseases.

This paper introduces the Vertex Overload Framework for androgenetic alopecia, suggesting that chronic mechanical and thermal stress on the vertex contributes to hair follicle miniaturization, with androgens acting as co-mediators of stress adaptation rather than isolated causes.

This study offers a new perspective on androgenetic alopecia, suggesting that hair loss at the vertex and frontal scalp results from mechanical and thermodynamic stress, alongside androgen activity, and proposes that reducing mechanical tension and improving local microcirculation could complement traditional treatments.

This study observed that Poria cocos polysaccharides and finasteride both reduced inflammation in chronic nonbacterial prostatitis in rats, but only Poria cocos polysaccharides reversed related changes in the gut microbiota.

This study found that cyproterone acetate treatment in late-pubertal trans-girls was safe, well-tolerated, and induced mild feminizing changes, with more pronounced effects when combined with estrogens.

This study found that both oral minoxidil and finasteride altered prostate tissue in mice, with more severe changes seen in finasteride-treated groups, suggesting greater implications for male reproductive health compared to minoxidil.

This study reviewed various dermatological conditions associated with oral contraceptive use, highlighting increased pigmentation, decreased sebum production, and changes in hair growth, among other effects.

This article reviews the causes, physiology, and treatment strategies for hirsutism in women, highlighting that effective management often requires addressing underlying conditions and may involve lifestyle changes and pharmacological interventions.

This review discusses the biological and cosmetic aspects of hair aging and reports no new clinical results; it highlights current treatments and future research directions to address both aging factors.

This review explores the potential benefits of platelet-rich plasma for anti-aging and tissue regeneration, especially in orthopedic applications like osteoarthritis, but it reports no new clinical results.

This case report describes a patient with psoriasis who experienced scalp hair darkening and increased growth during anti–IL-17 therapy.

This study highlights the importance of understanding the roles of hyperandrogenemia and insulin resistance in the development and progression of PCOS, emphasizing further research to clarify their mutual influence.

In this study, a low-glycemic index anti-inflammatory diet led to decreased testosterone levels, increased sex hormone-binding globulin, and improved well-being in overweight and obese women with hyperandrogenism, suggesting that diet and lifestyle changes can positively influence clinical symptoms.

This review discusses the pharmacological properties of progestins used in contraception and hormone replacement therapy, focusing on drospirenone's unique effects, but reports no new experimental findings.

This article reviews factors influencing hair aging and available treatments like minoxidil and finasteride for androgenetic alopecia but reports no new clinical results.

This case report describes a woman with Becker's nevus and ipsilateral breast hypoplasia who showed breast enlargement after one month of spironolactone treatment, suggesting a link between hypoplasia and increased androgenic receptor activity.

This review discusses the definition, causes, diagnostic strategies, and treatment options for hirsutism in women without reporting new clinical results, and highlights the impact of the condition on self-esteem.

This article provides a comprehensive overview of polycystic ovary syndrome, its diagnosis, complications, and symptom-focused management options, but does not present new clinical findings.

This article presents a case of giant cell arteritis occurring in a patient with de Quervain's thyroiditis but reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that canrenone significantly reduced hair growth and decreased certain androgen levels in women with idiopathic post-puberal hirsutism, suggesting potential effectiveness as a treatment.

This review suggests that "polycystic ovarian syndrome" is a misleading name, as the disorder involves complex metabolic and reproductive issues beyond ovarian dysfunction and may stem from factors affecting the fetus in utero.

This article discusses the unclear aspects of diagnosing and treating polycystic ovarian syndrome and emphasizes a multidisciplinary approach but reports no clinical results.

Diffuse alopecia in women may be related to androgens and iron deficiency, and basic hormone and nutrient screening is useful.
