This study concluded that a 26-year-old woman had autosomal dominantly inherited hereditary cortisol insensitivity, leading to increased adrenocortical cortisol and androgen secretion, which caused clinical symptoms unlike in her male relatives.

This study found that in naturally curved human scalp hairs, distinct arrangements of cell types on either side of the hair fiber contribute to its curvature.

This study found that in rats, finasteride significantly reduced allopregnanolone in the cortex and increased both the rise and duration of dopamine levels in the prefrontal cortex in response to stress and anxiogenic stimuli.

This review found that patients with depression generally have higher hair cortisol concentrations compared to healthy controls, while those with PTSD tend to have lower concentrations.

In this study, researchers found that tritiated cortisol was incorporated into the hair of rhesus monkeys primarily as cortisol and cortisone, as well as other metabolites, after systemic administration.

This study found that hair cortisol levels increase and testosterone levels decrease with obesity, suggesting that measuring hormones in hair may be a valuable tool in obesity research and clinical practice.

This study found that pulsed doses of prednisolone led to excellent hair growth in 60% of young patients with widespread alopecia areata, with minimal side effects.

This study found that while the reproducibility of hair cortisol measurements in captive chimpanzees was high, the fineness of homogenized hair, sample weight, and extraction time influenced absolute cortisol concentrations.

This paper presents a culturally informed protocol designed to improve the collection of hair samples from African Americans for cortisol measurement, illustrating its application with community-based study data.

This study observed that hair cortisol concentrations in primates are influenced by factors such as age, sex, hair growth rates, and sampling methods, which must be accounted for in research designs.

This study found that cortisol increases mac25/IGFBP-rP1 expression in osteoblast-enriched cells from fetal rat calvariae, indicating transcriptional regulation which may influence IGF and insulin effects in bone.

In this case study, a 55-year-old woman with androgenetic alopecia was ultimately diagnosed with hepatic cortisone reductase deficiency after initially suspected 21-hydroxylase deficiency was ruled out.

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

In this study, the combination of pulse intravenous corticosteroids and methotrexate was associated with positive hair regrowth in severe alopecia areata patients, with half achieving total regrowth.

This study suggests that hairless dogs' skin shows sensitivity to topical corticosteroids, highlighting their potential as a model for studying the efficacy and adverse effects of these treatments on skin.

This report discusses historical cases of visual side effects from scalp corticosteroid injections for alopecia areata and attributes their rarity now to improved injection techniques and smaller particulate sizes in suspensions.

This study describes molecular mechanisms explaining how sex and stress steroids rapidly modulate dendritic spine formation in hippocampal neurons, suggesting recovery-like effects under steroid-depleted conditions compared to intact conditions.

This study of Danish women found no evidence linking hair cortisol concentration to hair dyeing status or the frequency of hair washing.

This study found that in rodent diabetes models, measuring corticosterone levels in new growth hair was more sensitive to hyperglycemia-induced changes than using old hair or serum samples.

In this study, researchers developed an LC-MS/MS method to accurately quantify cortisone and cortisol levels in human scalp hair, finding that concentrations decrease predictably along the hair shaft, which could assist in identifying abnormal glucocorticoid exposure.

This case report describes a patient with corticosteroid-resistant ophiasis alopecia areata who experienced prompt hair regrowth after receiving platelet-rich plasma injections.

This study observed that methotrexate combined with low- to moderate-dose oral corticosteroids may effectively treat severe alopecia areata, though long-term maintenance is often necessary due to relapse after tapering.

This study found that combined topical, intralesional, and oral corticosteroids led to significant hair regrowth in some patients with alopecia totalis or universalis, allowing eventual cessation of oral corticosteroids in several cases.

This study established a mouse model for Cushing's syndrome due to a specific Crh mutation, which may help explore the effects of glucocorticoid excess and evaluate treatments for corticosteroid-induced osteoporosis.

This study found that alcohol dependence is associated with altered HPA axis functioning, with AD patients showing higher hair cortisol concentrations and reduced ACTH and cortisol levels, irrespective of childhood maltreatment history.

This study found that a combination therapy of oral corticosteroid and oral PUVA led to scalp hair regrowth in patients with intractable alopecia totalis and universalis within two months.

In this study, pioglitazone treatment in insulin-resistant PCOS patients decreased relative 5alpha-reductase activity without significantly affecting cortisol levels or urinary cortisol excretion.

This study observed that drug-naïve first-episode psychosis patients had higher hair cortisol concentrations than healthy controls, and these concentrations correlated with the severity of psychopathology.

This study found that measuring cortisol in human hair can reflect increased cortisol production for up to six months, with the highest concentration in hair closest to the scalp.

This study found that BD 1/4 dilution was the most effective corticosteroid concentration for intralesional injection to treat localized alopecia areata in adults, with fewer adverse effects than TA.
