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 found that vitamin D was positively associated with serum ferritin levels in Korean women without metabolic syndrome, but this association was not observed in those with metabolic syndrome.

This study found that DALL-E 2 performed poorly in generating accurate images of most pediatric dermatological conditions, highlighting the need for more domain-specific and inclusive training data.

In this study, researchers found that a specific genetic variant in the INSR gene is linked to severe insulin resistance and hyperandrogenemia in type A insulin resistance syndrome, suggesting the benefit of exon sequencing for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

This study found that hair testosterone concentrations show some consistency over time, but factors like hair washing and individual growth rates influence these levels, suggesting the need for careful sampling and analysis adjustments.

TCDD changes skin gene expression and may harm skin health.

This study found that testosterone and dihydrotestosterone inhibit the growth rates of hair bulb papilla cells and root sheath fibroblasts, especially at higher doses, while estradiol was ineffective.

This study demonstrated that lactate dehydrogenase activity is notably high in quiescent hair follicle stem cells within mouse skin using a specific enzymatic activity assay.

This study details the isolation and characterization of the human type II 5 alpha-reductase gene, which may play a role in male pseudohermaphroditism, prostate cancer, and benign prostatic hyperplasia.

This study reports that an electrochemical biosensor using a gold and palladium-modified electrode effectively detects levodopa and uric acid in various samples, offering improved performance over previous electrodes.

This study found no correlation between clinical stages of androgenetic alopecia and serum DHEA-S levels in men, contrasting with previous studies suggesting elevated levels.

This study reports an increased frequency of the DI genotype of the ACE gene polymorphism among women with PCOS, notably in those with hyperandrogenism, and an association of the II genotype with insulin resistance.

Human hair follicles have their own thyroid hormone system.

This study found that sebaceous glands predominantly exhibit oxidative activity of the type 2 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase isozyme, which is not inhibited by 13-cis retinoic acid.

This review summarizes recent research and patents on 17β-HSD3, 17β-HSD5, and 3α-HSD3 inhibitors, suggesting their potential in treating androgen-dependent diseases, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that while parabens in haircare products were within legal limits, all samples contained dibutyl phthalate, raising concerns about chronic exposure to endocrine disruptors.

This study found that women with polycystic ovary syndrome had significantly higher serum lactate dehydrogenase levels and lower levels of cortisol, dopamine, zinc, and vitamin D3 compared to healthy controls.

This study described a new assay for measuring cortisol in hair and found it may serve as a useful biomarker for long-term cortisol exposure, correlating with 24-hour urine cortisol levels in non-obese subjects.

This abstract discusses the unclear role of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in postembryonic life in marsupials and possibly humans, reporting no new findings.

This study observed that patients with type 2 diabetes and sensorineural hearing loss exhibited significantly higher levels of peripheral myelin protein 22, particularly in those with microangiopathies, suggesting demyelinating processes in the auditory system.

This case report describes a 13-year-old with DSD raised as female, exhibiting hoarseness and clitoral enlargement, with hormonal assessments not indicating common related deficiencies.

This study suggests that hydroxytyrosol may influence inflammation and oxidative stress pathways in androgenetic alopecia, particularly through interaction with the PTGS2 gene, warranting further experimental validation.

This study examined the evolutionary and functional homology of steroid 5α-reductase and DET2 proteins, identifying protists as a common ancestor, and discovered a new subclass DET2-like in plants, potentially involved in polyprenol reduction.

This study found that higher dihydrotestosterone (DHT) levels in the parietal region of the scalp may be linked to androgenetic alopecia's clinical presentation.

This study found that red light at an irradiance of 8 mW/cm² was most effective in promoting growth and modulating signaling pathways in dermal papilla cells treated with dihydrotestosterone, suggesting the need for personalized photobiomodulation treatment approaches for androgenetic alopecia.

This study reports that triboelectro-responsive DNA hydrogels, enhanced with conductive polymers and triboelectric stimulation, effectively accelerate wound healing and exhibit strong anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, achieving 99.8% closure of bacterium-infected diabetic wounds in 14 days.

This study found that a modest increase in dietary zinc over six months resulted in a detectable increase in sulfur and zinc counts in individual hairs, suggesting a non-invasive method to monitor zinc intake effects.

This article discusses the preparation of tritium-labeled testosterone metabolites and reports no new experimental findings.

This study developed a bifunctional sodium hyaluronate microneedle patch incorporating glycyrrhizin-loaded dutasteride micelles and mesoporous polydopamine nanoparticles, which effectively inhibited DHT and reduced ROS in hair follicle cells, resulting in significantly accelerated hair growth in vitro and in vivo.
