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 case study reports a rare instance of a virilizing androgen-only secreting adrenal cortical adenoma in a 13-year-old, with symptom resolution after surgical removal.

This study developed a sensitive method using LC-ESI-MS/MS for accurate and reliable measurement of nine steroid hormones in children's serum.

This review covers the clinical features, pathophysiology, differential diagnoses, and therapeutic options for neuroendocrine paraneoplastic syndromes affecting the skin but reports no new clinical findings.

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.

The woman likely has a hormonal imbalance causing excessive hair growth.

This study found that steroid hormone treatments significantly reduced mRNA expression of certain Ca2+-activated K+ channel genes in Atlantic cod pituitary cells, suggesting a potential role in sexual maturation regulation.

This research suggests that fluoxymesterone, an anabolic steroid, may inhibit a key enzyme, potentially contributing to cardiovascular issues by affecting cortisol's activation of mineralocorticoid receptors.

This study presents a new LC-MS/MS method that allows for more accurate detection of seven steroid hormones in human hair, enhancing the specificity and reliability of hormone analysis in psychoneuroendocrinological research.

This article provides an overview of diagnosing Cushing's syndrome, emphasizing the importance of assessing clinical signs and the appropriate use of first-line biochemical screening.

This study reported that cortisone, testosterone, and thyroxine replacement therapy increased energy and hair growth, while decreasing cold sensitivity, in the absence of tumor recurrence.

This study shows that measuring 17-hydroxyprogesterone concentrations in scalp hair may be a useful noninvasive tool for monitoring treatment in adults with congenital adrenal hyperplasia.

This case report details a 13-year-old boy with Cushing syndrome, where BIPSS identified the pituitary gland as the cortisol excess source and hormonal tests showed suppressed puberty markers.

This case study highlights a testosterone- and cortisol-secreting adrenal oncocytic neoplasm in an 18-year-old woman, illustrating the role of surgical excision in resolving hyperandrogenism and restoring menstruation.

This case study diagnosed a cat with pituitary-dependent hyperadrenocorticism, confirmed by specific hormonal tests and post-mortem findings of adrenal hyperplasia and a pituitary adenoma.

This case study reported a unique instance of a benign adrenal adenoma co-secreting cortisol and DHEA-S, which initially mimicked PCOS symptoms. Surgical removal resulted in significant clinical improvement, confirming the diagnosis of cyclic adrenal Cushing's syndrome.

This study suggests that cortisol measured in human hair can effectively reflect increased production for up to six months, but its retrospective accuracy may be limited due to rapid decline in levels.

This study found that measuring stress biomarkers in hair could be an effective and simpler method for assessing chronic stress in rats, potentially offering a novel alternative to serum tests with biomarkers including sodium, calcium, and cortisol.

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 found that treatment with cyproterone acetate and ethinylestradiol in hirsute women reduced testosterone and androstenedione levels, decreased hair growth, and increased cortisol levels without changing catecholamine excretion.

This study validated a method for measuring cortisol levels in hair, which may serve as a biomarker for chronic stress in both humans and various animals.

This study found that surgical removal of adrenal glands resolved clinical signs of adrenocortical tumors and hyperplasias in ferrets, but cortisol levels were not excessively high.

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 suggests that hair cortisol measurement could serve as an alternative diagnostic method for Cushing’s disease, showing acceptable concordance with urinary free cortisol despite differing evaluated periods.

This study suggests that individuals with severe sickle cell disease, indicated by higher hemoglobin S and ferritin levels, may have lower cortisol levels as shown by reduced hair cortisol content.

Hair cortisol can be a reliable way to measure long-term stress.

This review discusses Chrousos syndrome, a rare condition caused by NR 3C1 gene mutations leading to glucocorticoid resistance, and reports no new clinical results; early identification and genetic testing are recommended for diagnosis.

This study found that excess vitamin A induced stable glandular morphogenesis and mucous metaplasia in embryonic mouse vibrissa follicles, even after switching to standard medium.

This case report describes a 35-year-old woman with a Rathke’s cleft cyst presenting with Cushing disease, highlighting the need to evaluate hormonal hypersecretion in atypical pituitary lesions.

In this study, a dog with alopecia and a Sertoli cell tumor showed hyperprogesteronemia, and its hair regrew after castration, with progesterone levels reducing toward normal.
