This study found that female patients with anorexia nervosa had lower hair cortisol concentration compared to healthy and psychiatric controls, which may be influenced by body mass index rather than anorexia-related endocrine changes.

In this study, hair from forearms showed higher cortisol levels than hair from lower legs, suggesting a localized cortisol response in hair.

This study found that cortisol concentrations were significantly higher in hair samples with follicles compared to those without, suggesting potential confounding in stress assessments using different hair sampling methods.

This study found that daily hair washing was associated with significantly lower hair cortisol concentrations, suggesting it may influence the accuracy of using hair cortisol as a biomarker for chronic stress.

This case report describes improvement in amenorrhea, alopecia, and muscle spasms in a 13-year-old girl with Satoyoshi syndrome following treatment with daily tacrolimus and alternate-day oral prednisolone.

This study found that hair cortisol concentration is a promising stress indicator in cattle but not in pigs, where external factors and lower cortisol response may interfere with its validity.

This study reports that sequential high- and low-dose prednisolone therapy effectively promotes complete hair regrowth in 62% of children with severe alopecia areata, while minimizing severe side effects.

This study observed that pulsed doses of prednisolone resulted in excellent hair growth in 60% of young patients with widespread alopecia areata after six months, with minimal side effects.

In this study, a plasma-fluorescent corticoid test effectively differentiated patients with adrenal insufficiency from those with normal adrenal function based on their response to corticotropin.

In this study of immature male albino rats on a vitamin B12-deficient diet, vitamin B12 supplementation improved body, hair, and thymus growth more effectively than aureomycin when countering the negative effects of cortisone.

Cortisol and cortisone release from hair increases in steps over time during incubation.

This case report describes a functional adrenocortical oncocytoma that co-secreted testosterone and cortisol.

This study found that patients with alopecia areata and less than 50% hair loss showed a good response to pulse therapy with methylprednisolone, while those with more extensive hair loss also improved but required more courses.

This study found that corticosteroid pulse therapy may be more effective than oral cyclosporine with corticosteroid for patients with severe alopecia areata, especially for those with the plurifocal type or a short disease duration.

This study found that progesterone levels were higher and increased significantly throughout pregnancy, contrasting with stable levels in non-pregnant women.

In this study, researchers found that caffeine can counteract stress-induced damage in ex vivo human androgenetic alopecia hair follicles, suggesting it may help prevent stress-related hair loss.

This study found that in young male rats, cortisone acetate inhibited body growth and caused alopecia, which vitamin B12 and aureomycin largely counteracted, especially when combined.

This study found that feeding desiccated whole liver to immature rats on a synthetic diet largely prevented the negative effects of toxic cortisone acetate doses, unlike known B vitamins.

This study found that experiencing childhood abuse is associated with higher BMI, but hair cortisol and cortisone do not mediate this relationship.

This study found that corticosterone promotes neurosteroid synthesis in hippocampal neurons, which can lead to ethanol-mediated synaptic dysfunction even at moderate ethanol levels, potentially contributing to stress-related cognitive impairment from alcohol.

In this study, corticosteroid injections were found to be more effective than saline for inducing hair regrowth in cases of alopecia areata with long-duration and extensive hair loss.

In this study, testosterone and dehydroepiandrosterone in children's hair were strongly correlated, supporting hair as a potential method for measuring these hormones.

This study proposed the existence of a membrane-like structure between the cuticle and cortex in human hair, which may provide strong protection against external stimuli.

This report of three cases found that diagnosing hypercortisolism during pregnancy can be challenging, but early detection using unbound steroid levels and MRI could prevent severe complications.

Among patients treated at Thomas Jefferson University, this study found that adding cryotherapy to intralesional triamcinolone acetonide (IL TAC) was more effective at reducing keloid size compared to IL TAC alone, although both treatments similarly eased pruritus and pain.

This study found that 6-year-old children experienced a significant increase in hair cortisol levels when entering third grade, which was linked to their level of inhibitory control.

In this study, prolonged intravenous Fenoterol infusion was associated with intensive hair growth in most patients, although hormonal changes typically linked to such effects were not observed.

This study found that sampling hair for cortisol analysis in mother-toddler dyads living in low-income U.S. homes is feasible, with 66% of approached dyads participating.

This study concluded that combining systemic cyclosporine A with low-dose corticosteroids effectively treats severe alopecia areata while maintaining safe cyclosporine A levels in the blood.

In this study, researchers found that storing hair samples for over 12 months significantly lowers the concentrations of important analytes such as cortisol and cortisone, recommending analyses within six months to ensure data quality.
