This study reported that relocation in police horses was associated with elevated hair cortisol concentrations, possibly suggesting altered welfare due to changed surroundings, and that seasonal variations affected both cortisol levels and hair growth.

This case report suggests that genetic evaluation for glucocorticoid resistance, such as the NR3C1 gene variant, is crucial for proper diagnosis and management of patients showing atypical signs of hypercortisolism.

This study found that cortisol and corticosterone led to thinning of the epidermis and hair follicle regression in fetal mouse skin, while testosterone promoted differentiation and sebaceous gland development.

In this case report, topical application of fluocinolone acetonide acetate ointment increased hair length and thickness in three family members with congenital hypotrichosis.

In a study using mice, researchers observed that Cacumen platycladi fermented with Lactiplantibacillus plantarum CCFM1348—both as postbiotics and synbiotics—promoted hair growth, potentially by engaging the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway and enhancing growth factor expression.

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 study found that androgen impacted glucocorticoid signaling in the mouse brain only in the prefrontal cortex and substantia nigra, suggesting limited interaction between these hormones at high corticosterone levels.

This review discusses clinical, hormonal, and genetic aspects of nonclassic adrenal hyperplasia and reports no new findings; the condition is highlighted as a potential cause of premature adrenarche and other symptoms in young people.

This study found that patients with alopecia areata exhibited increased CRHR1 expression on circulating monocytes compared to controls, suggesting that stress-related factors like CRH and CRHR1 may contribute to the development and progression of the condition, particularly in chronic cases and those with larger lesions.

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

This review discusses current and evolving treatment strategies for congenital adrenal hyperplasia in adolescents and adults, focusing on glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid therapy and the management of insulin resistance, without reporting new clinical results.

This article reviews the use of cyproterone acetate for conditions like prostate cancer and sexual disorders, highlighting its effects on libido but reporting no new specific trial results.

This study found that men with early-onset androgenic alopecia are less responsive to the cardiometabolic effects of bromocriptine compared to men with normal hair growth.

This case series suggests that EE/CMA 0.03mg/2mg may help manage dermatological disorders related to androgen excess, as evidenced by symptomatic improvements in the four patients treated.

This study showed that the stress hormone CRF inhibits hair growth and induces hair loss by affecting both the proliferation of human dermal papilla cells and hair follicle function.

This review discusses the interrelationship between the anterior pituitary's adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and the adrenal cortex, but reports no new experimental findings.

This study found that both intralesional triamcinolone acetonide and triamcinolone hexacetonide promote continuous hair growth in alopecia areata, with effects lasting at least 9 months after a single injection.

In this case study, researchers observed reversible scalp hair loss associated with centrifugal lipodystrophy, potentially linked to altered leptin expression in inflamed adipose tissue.

This study found that serum DHEA levels increase earlier and are higher in girls compared to boys through various stages of puberty, reflecting their earlier pubertal development.

This study found that steers grazing on toxic tall fescue with continuous hair growth and reduced sweating had impaired thermoregulation, leading to decreased grazing activity and poor performance.

This study developed and validated an HPLC-UV method for accurately quantifying clobetasol propionate in skin and hair follicles, demonstrating its application in in vitro permeation experiments.

In this case study, a woman with congenital adrenal hyperplasia experienced substantial improvement in musculoskeletal and neurobehavioral symptoms after low-dose testosterone therapy, highlighting its potential role in managing chronic glucocorticoid overtreatment effects.

This study found that high doses of cloforex and chlorphentermine caused pulmonary lipid histiocytosis and toxic effects in rats, but did not induce pulmonary hypertension.

This study found that women with common baldness treated with cyclical antiandrogen therapy for 52 weeks experienced increased hair density and a higher percentage of hairs in the anagen growth phase.

This review summarizes the recent advances in molecular mechanisms influencing tissue sensitivity to glucocorticoids, emphasizing novel mutations and new information on the glucocorticoid receptor's circadian rhythm and ligand-induced repression, but reports no new results.

This study reported unexpected positive results in two males with androgenetic alopecia using a cyclodextrin-enabled, natural-based formula over 270 days, showing marked hair thickening and reduced scalp hair loss.

In this study, increased corticosterone from chronic stress prolonged hair follicle stem cell quiescence in mice, inhibiting regeneration, but restoring Gas6 expression overcame this inhibition.
