This study found that administering an alcoholic extract of Mentha spicata leaves significantly reduced testosterone levels and aggressive behavior in female rats with elevated testosterone, suggesting its potential protective role against such symptoms.

This study found that maternal caffeine intake during gestation and lactation can lead to skin lesions like hypotrichosis and alopecia in both mother and offspring rats, irrespective of maternal cortisol levels.

In this study, abnormal glucose tolerance was found to be prevalent among young Indian women with PCOS, and the use of an oral glucose tolerance test significantly improved its detection.

This study observed that in privately owned, intact cats, male cats exhibited significantly higher long-term hair cortisol concentrations compared to females, while environmental and behavioral factors did not significantly impact cortisol levels, suggesting individual traits may influence stress markers more than external factors.

In this review, researchers examined the concentration of cortisol in scalp hair of individuals with alopecia areata to explore its relationship with disease variables, as cortisol in hair can indicate chronic stress, which may impact alopecia areata pathogenesis.

This small study reports that a 6-group geometric classification method is more reliable for classifying human hair curl, although a digital system could further reduce errors.

This review explores the significant impacts of hormonal changes within normal physiological ranges and suggests examining low-dose effects from chemicals disrupting hormonal activity; it presents no new clinical results.

This review discusses the relevance of human androgen receptor action in sports doping and examines the potential of cell-based biological assays for detecting androgenic anabolic steroid use, without presenting new research findings.

Small hormonal imbalances can cause significant health problems, so more sensitive testing for hormone-disrupting chemicals is needed.

This study found that aerosols formulated with celery extract and candlenut oil significantly stimulated hair growth in rabbits without causing skin irritation, suggesting their potential as natural and safe alternatives for treating alopecia.

Hair cortisol measurement is a promising, non-invasive tool for monitoring cortisol exposure over time.

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 review discusses the steroidogenic properties of human skin and suggests that impaired steroidogenesis may be linked to conditions like acne, rosacea, atopic dermatitis, and androgenic alopecia, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found significant hormonal differences, including elevated cortisol and androstenedione levels, in both male and female androgenic hair loss patients compared to controls, suggesting complex hormonal interactions in the condition.

A young man with an eating disorder had a life-threatening adrenal crisis due to an autoimmune condition, highlighting the need for better education on managing hormone treatments.

This case report describes a 60-year-old woman with an ovarian Leydig cell tumor leading to elevated testosterone levels and hirsutism, highlighting the need to consider androgen-secreting tumors in similar postmenopausal cases.

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

This case report describes a woman with hypertension, alopecia, and other symptoms, revealing that her condition was due to ovarian hyperthecosis, highlighting the overlap of adrenal and ovarian disorders.

This study suggests that scalp massage may reduce stress, as indicated by decreased salivary cortisol and increased secretory immunoglobulin A, and improve comfort by reducing physical fatigue and negative emotions.

This study found that sexual trauma, particularly occurring between ages 5-7, was significantly associated with blunted hair cortisol levels, revealing a potential critical developmental stage affecting HPA axis function. No significant link was observed between cortisol reactivity and other adverse childhood experiences or stressors.

Hair cortisol analysis can help diagnose stress-related conditions but needs more refinement for widespread use.

This case study highlights the significance of early diagnosis and treatment of Cushing's syndrome during pregnancy, as it is associated with severe maternal and fetal complications, including stillbirth.

This review discusses the diagnostic challenges of androgen and estrogen-secreting adrenal tumors and highlights that the presence of metastases is the most reliable indicator of malignancy; it reports no new clinical findings.

This review discusses the characteristics of benign biphasic ovarian neoplasms called adenofibromas and reports no new clinical findings.

This review examines the causes, assessment, and treatments of hirsutism and highlights the need for future research in managing this condition but presents no new research findings.

This review discusses the neurobiology of sexual function and reports no new results; the authors cover multiple endocrine and neurotransmitter influences on sexual desire, arousal, and orgasm stages.

In this study, researchers found a significant positive association between cortisol levels in hair and feces of domestic cats and dogs, suggesting hair cortisol assays could be a viable option for monitoring chronic stress.

This study reported that spironolactone at 200 mg/day significantly improved facial hair growth in women with hirsutism and showed a sustained reduction in ovarian androgens over one year.

This review discusses the genetics and variable phenotypic expression of nonclassic congenital adrenal hyperplasia, and reports no new clinical results; the authors call for further research on long-term health impacts and treatment strategies.

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.
