This study suggests that measuring scalp hair 17-hydroxyprogesterone and androstenedione concentrations can be a promising tool for monitoring treatment in children with congenital adrenal hyperplasia.

This study concluded that a 26-year-old woman had autosomal dominantly inherited hereditary cortisol insensitivity, leading to increased adrenocortical cortisol and androgen secretion, which caused clinical symptoms unlike in her male relatives.

This study found that dutasteride completely suppressed the formation of 5alpha-dihydro metabolites in cultured human skin cells, suggesting its potential use in acne and androgenetic alopecia.

This study describes the enzymatic processes through which DHEA is converted to active sex steroids in human skin, highlighting an androgenic effect on sebaceous glands and estrogenic effects in the vagina.

This study found a significant negative correlation between adrenal hormone DHEAS levels and ovarian volume in Greek women with polycystic ovary syndrome, though further clinical research is needed to confirm these results.

Both drugs lower DHT levels, with GI198745 being more effective.

This study found that among men with androgenetic alopecia, increased DHEA-S levels were significantly associated with greater clinical severity, although testosterone levels were generally normal.

This study found that calculated parameters like free testosterone and bioavailable testosterone were higher in women with hirsutism and PCOS compared to controls, suggesting these might better assess hyperandrogenemia than measured hormone values.

In a case report, this study identified a new genetic variant in a six-year-old girl from Saudi Arabia with hypotrichosis and juvenile macular dystrophy, expanding the understanding of the genetic spectrum of this rare condition in the region.

This study found that human TMEM2 does not function as a hyaluronidase but is involved in regulating hyaluronan metabolism.

This review discusses 46,XY disorders of sex development caused by defects in androgen production and highlights the need for long-term care from experienced multidisciplinary teams, but it reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that the dehydroepiandrosterone hydroxylating enzyme system in hair follicles is similar to the liver monooxygenase system, sharing characteristics such as inhibition by carbon monoxide and dependency on NADPH.

This study reported that 5 alpha-reductase type 2 is the predominant enzyme in pubic skin fibroblasts across normal men, women, and hirsute patients, suggesting potential treatment options for idiopathic hirsutism.

This study found that human liver dehydroepiandrosterone sulfotransferase (DHEA ST) catalyzes the sulfate conjugation of minoxidil, indicating another pathway contributing to its metabolism in humans.

This study found that sleep deprivation in mice can trigger prostatitis by activating the cGAS-STING pathway due to reduced levels of dihydrotestosterone and melatonin, resulting in a pro-inflammatory environment, while recovery sleep can mitigate these effects.

This study developed a new method using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry to measure multiple steroid hormones in hair, requiring significantly fewer strands than previous methods, with high accuracy and precision.

This study found that while 11-oxyandrogens do not aid in diagnosing PCOS, they correlate with hirsutism severity, and 11-ketotestosterone levels decrease with combined oral contraceptive therapy.

In this study, carbon dots derived from dandelion herb demonstrated significant antibacterial and biofilm-disrupting capabilities, promoting wound healing in a mouse model infected with S. aureus, while also showing excellent biocompatibility and the ability to modulate reactive oxygen species.

This study presented a new method for accurately measuring Fe³⁺ in small serum samples, achieving high recovery rates and agreement with established testing methods, while offering advantages such as cost-effectiveness, simplicity, and enhanced sensitivity.

This study explains that congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency presents as a continuous phenotype and involves symptoms ranging from virilization to accelerated growth in children, with diagnosis relying on clinical, biochemical, and genetic evaluation.

This review found that women with idiopathic hirsutism may have increased 5α-reductase activity, as indicated by elevated levels of a dihydrotestosterone-reduced metabolite, but more research is needed to confirm its clinical relevance as a biomarker.

This study found that compound 10 inhibited testosterone conversion to DHT in hamster flank organs and seminal vesicles, whereas compound 11's inhibitory effect varied with dose, linked to halogen electronegativity differences.

The ProScope HR is an effective, user-friendly, and affordable tool for diagnosing hair loss.

In this study, oral dienogest combined with ethinylestradiol provided effective contraception with a Pearl Index of approximately 0.2 and improved androgenic symptoms without significant metabolic effects.

This study suggests that ATR-FT-IR spectral analysis of hair fibres may detect breast cancer through increased lipid content changes linked to cancer presence.

In this study, serum omentin-1 levels were higher in females with idiopathic hirsutism compared to those with hirsutism and polycystic ovary syndrome, suggesting it may help distinguish between these conditions.

This study found that 70-MHz ultrasound can detect early signs of hidradenitis suppurativa linked to severity, including hair follicle abnormalities and keratin fragmentation, aiding in diagnosis and management.

This study discusses the potential of targeting 11β-HSD1 for treating metabolic syndrome and highlights emerging promising data from human trials on selective 11β-HSD1 inhibitors.

This study found that the novel dot-block method can effectively measure early- and advanced-glycation products in hair, suggesting its potential for monitoring diabetes progression and other chronic conditions.
