This case study describes a rare steroid cell tumor of the ovary in a 42-year-old woman, highlighting its virilizing effects and the importance of thorough follow-up due to its potential for malignancy.

In this study, women with hirsutism and amenorrhea showed lower serum estradiol and sex hormone binding globulin concentrations but higher levels of unbound testosterone compared to normal individuals.

In this study, perinatal androgen deprivation in male rats led to elevated estrogen levels and a lack of sexual motivation towards gonadally-intact female rats.

This article reviews various side effects and concerns related to oral contraceptives, including potential vascular complications and elevated plasma cortisol levels, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that low serum testosterone and elevated serum oestrone in men with cirrhosis are associated with worse liver disease and adverse health outcomes, suggesting oestrone as a potential ill health marker.

This study found that high prepubertal and pubertal androgen levels, originating from both adrenal and gonadal secretion, were negatively associated with adult height outcomes in males with Silver-Russell syndrome.

This study reports that in a case of benign Brenner tumor, elevated androgens may originate from luteinized stromal cells, as these cells do not convert androgen to estrogen due to suppressed aromatase biosynthesis.

This case study describes an 88-year-old postmenopausal woman diagnosed with Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor, a rare ovarian cancer, highlighting the importance of checking hormone levels in similar unexpected cases.

This case report describes a postmenopausal woman with hirsutism and hair loss attributed to ovarian stromal hyperplasia; surgical removal of the ovaries normalized testosterone levels and resolved symptoms.
