This study found that individuals with alopecia areata experience variations in cortisol and insulin levels and adaptive mechanism pressures, which may serve as potential therapeutic targets.

This study suggests that persistent symptoms in patients with controlled functioning adenomas may indicate a coexisting PCOS diagnosis, highlighting the need for precise differentiation and timely management of these conditions.

In this study, patients with androgenetic alopecia experiencing stress had higher cortisol levels and altered neurotrophic factors compared to non-stressed patients, which correlated with more severe hair loss progression even after minoxidil treatment.

This study found that severe or moderate COVID-19 altered sex hormone and cortisol levels in lung tissues of patients with non-small cell lung cancer, particularly in women, suggesting potential implications for lung cancer progression and treatment outcomes.

This study found that steroid reproductive hormones such as estradiol and testosterone can be preserved and analyzed in archaeological human hair, providing new insights into ancient health and fertility.

This study found that hair cortisol did not indicate expected hypercortisolism in acutely underweight anorexia nervosa patients and did not change significantly during short-term weight restoration.

CYP11A1 is crucial for skin health and disease by producing important steroids.

This study found that lower salmon availability was associated with higher stress hormone levels in grizzly and black bears, influencing their physiological responses and competitive behaviors.

This study indicates potential differences in the hair spectra of individuals with mood disorders, suggesting a promising, yet preliminary, method for noninvasive prediagnosis.

This study identified a novel homozygous mutation in the 5'-UTR of the POMC gene, suggesting a new molecular mechanism for the syndrome of adrenal insufficiency, obesity, and red hair.

In this study, researchers observed that lower serum zinc concentrations were associated with decreased serum testosterone levels, but no link was found with sexual function questionnaire scores.

This case report illustrates a rare instance of mixed germ cell tumor in the pituitary with hyperandrogenism, emphasizing the importance of thorough examination and hormone evaluation in identifying hormonal dysfunctions.

This case study describes a 30-year-old woman with ACTH-independent Cushing's syndrome from adrenal carcinoma, who showed significant health improvement and normalized tests 18 months after left adrenalectomy.

This study explored a multidimensional approach to examine body hairs' physico-chemical properties, potentially supporting their use over scalp hairs in forensic and intoxication studies.

This study found that individuals with a recent history of suicide attempts exhibited altered DHEA hair levels, suggesting possible dysregulation of the HPA axis as a biopsychosocial feature, and recommends further investigation into hair hormones as potential markers of suicidal crisis and vulnerability.

This study found that switching juvenile mice from a high-fat, high-carbohydrate diet to a control diet optimally reduced hormonal imbalances and weight, with nutraceuticals offering partial support.

These guidelines recommend testing thyroid function in patients with obesity due to common hypothyroidism, and highlight that weight loss is crucial for addressing hormonal imbalances, with only modest weight loss benefits from treating endocrine disorders.

This review discusses recent evidence on how night-shift work affects the circadian system, sleep, and alertness in shift workers, and reports no clinical results; potential impacts on health are considered.

This study found that wolves in heavily hunted areas of Canada's tundra–taiga exhibited higher levels of stress and reproductive hormones, indicating social instability and increased reproductive effort due to human-caused mortality.

This review discusses the interplay between hormonal and immune systems in hair follicles and reports no new results, highlighting the need for further research on their role in skin biology and alopecia areata.

In this study, manipulation of the enzyme 5α-reductase type 2 in human hepatocytes altered lipogenesis, suggesting clinical implications for patients using 5α-reductase inhibitors by affecting glucocorticoid action on hepatic lipid metabolism.

This review discusses using human follicular fluid in metabolomic analysis as a diagnostic tool and predictor of success in assisted reproductive technology for PCOS patients, reporting no new results.

This study found that increased hair cortisol levels, indicating stress, were associated with greater hair loss in captive rhesus macaques, although the causality of this relationship remains unclear.

This study found that mitotane causes specific changes in cortisol metabolism, including increased excretion of certain metabolites, which may influence cortisol bioavailability without hindering early detection of adrenocortical carcinoma recurrence.

This study observed that Parkinson’s disease patients had higher hair cortisone, but not cortisol, levels compared to controls, and cortisone was significantly associated with mood-related non-motor symptoms.

This study reported that ketoconazole may effectively normalize menstruation and reduce testosterone and hair growth in women with ovarian hyperandrogenism, though its safety needs further evaluation.

This study found that acute stress in rats inhibits hair growth, likely through increased cortisol levels and activation of the substance P-mast cell pathway.

This review discusses the roles of steroid hormone receptors in lung function related to COVID-19 and outlines ongoing clinical trials of steroid receptor ligands, but reports no new results.

The new method can measure sleep-related hormones in hair effectively and could help track long-term sleep patterns.

This study found that blocking neurosteroid synthesis in pregnant sheep increased HPA axis activity, particularly under stress, suggesting neurosteroids help modulate stress response.
