December 2016 in “PubMed” Hirsutism was characterized by excessive terminal hair growth in a male pattern on androgen-dependent areas of the female body, and it could occur in both men and women. The condition was commonly associated with polycystic ovary syndrome, idiopathic hyperandrogenemia, and other endocrine disorders. Diagnostic guidelines primarily focused on premenopausal women, but evaluations for underlying endocrinopathies in postmenopausal women and men were also necessary. Management strategies included eliminating causative drugs, assessing hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis dysregulation, and identifying androgen-secreting tumors. Treatment options involved pharmacotherapy with estrogens-progestins, antiandrogens, and other agents, while surgical excision was considered for certain adenomas.

February 1983 in “The Journal of Dermatology” The study investigated hair regrowth in C3H mice of varying ages by analyzing enzyme activities in different skin areas after shaving. It was found that hair regrowth was irregular and delayed as mice aged, with older mice showing more significant delays. In 59-day-old mice, 30-50% of the shaved area was covered with new hair nine days post-shaving. Biochemical analysis revealed that enzyme activities of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC), transglutaminase (TGase), and alkaline phosphatase (Al-P) were significantly higher in hair re-growing areas compared to non-growing areas. These enzyme activities were also elevated in follicle-rich fractions from re-growing areas compared to non-shaved areas, suggesting a link between these enzymes and hair growth.
