In this study, hirsutism in women with PCOS was strongly associated with hyperandrogenism and metabolic abnormalities, while acne and androgenic alopecia were not effective markers for hyperandrogenism.

This article discusses the importance of recognizing and distinguishing polycystic ovary syndrome from similar endocrine disorders, and reports no new clinical results.

This study found that in dogs with alopecia, certain steroid hormone levels were elevated, particularly progesterone, but not all hormone abnormalities were consistent across breeds, suggesting the need for breed-specific evaluation.

This review summarizes recent studies on metformin for polycystic ovary syndrome, reporting its beneficial effects on endocrine, metabolic, and reproductive outcomes, but highlights ongoing debate about its mechanisms.

This article discusses the introduction of the term 'prepubertal pattern hair loss' to describe hair thinning in children under 10 without physical abnormalities, and reports no new clinical findings.

This study found a 6.5% prevalence of polycystic ovary syndrome among a population of Caucasian women in Spain, based on specific endocrine criteria.

In this study, homozygous VDR null mutant mice exhibited nonfunctional vitamin D receptors, leading to growth abnormalities and revealing the limited physiological importance of vitamin D pathways outside the classical receptor.

In this study of women with PCOS, hirsutism strongly correlated with metabolic abnormalities, while acne and androgenic alopecia were not clear markers of biochemical hyperandrogenemia or metabolic dysfunction.

In this study, hirsutism was the most prevalent skin manifestation among women with PCOS, and a significant association was observed between certain skin changes and hormonal abnormalities such as insulin resistance and elevated prolactin levels.

This review discusses the role of TGF-β signaling in stem cell recruitment and tissue regeneration, indicating that abnormalities in TGF-β activation contribute to various major diseases and suggesting avenues for therapeutic intervention.

This study found that removing PPARγ specifically from mouse adipose tissue led to severe fat loss, insulin resistance, diabetes, and associated metabolic abnormalities.

This article reviews the impact of nutritional deficiencies on hair health, detailing how they can cause structural abnormalities, pigmentation changes, or hair loss; it presents no new clinical findings.

This article reviews the diagnostic criteria and prevalence of PCOS, emphasizing its status as the most common endocrine disorder among women of reproductive age, with no new clinical results reported.

This article reviews Cronkhite-Canada syndrome as a distinct condition from Peutz-Jeghers syndrome and familial polyposis, with cases showing gastrointestinal polyposis, skin, hair, nail abnormalities, and hypoproteinemia.

In this study, women with androgenic alopecia showed increased excretion of steroid metabolites and heightened 5α-reductase activity, suggesting these may contribute to the condition's hormonal abnormalities.

This review discusses the role of acyl-CoA binding protein (ACBP) in the epidermal barrier, noting that its disruption in mice is linked to skin and fur abnormalities; it reports no new clinical results.

Patients with Shwachman-Diamond syndrome often get misdiagnosed due to a wide range of symptoms, including immune system problems and bone abnormalities.

This study found that among women with polycystic ovary syndrome, insulin resistance was more strongly associated with cardio-metabolic abnormalities than β-cell dysfunction, and they showed different correlations with obesity.

In this case report, maternal use of finasteride during early pregnancy was not associated with external genitalia abnormalities in a male infant, but the findings are limited to one case and broader safety conclusions cannot be drawn.

This study identified a single autosomal recessive gene responsible for hypotrichosis in a mutant rabbit strain, affecting hair growth and causing epidermal and hair follicle abnormalities.

This source provides a comprehensive overview of amenorrhea, detailing its classification, potential causes such as hormonal imbalances and structural abnormalities, and the various management strategies including hormone therapy and lifestyle modifications tailored to its underlying causes.

This study found that women with postadolescent acne often exhibit symptoms of hyperandrogenism, such as hirsutism and androgenetic alopecia, but have minimal hormone profile abnormalities.

This study found that both finasteride and combined oral contraceptives with drospirenone improved reproductive health markers in women with polycystic ovary syndrome without metabolic abnormalities, with each having specific strengths.

This article reviews the uses, mechanisms, and side effects of valproate in treating bipolar disorder, noting its first-line status for several manic conditions but also highlighting serious risks such as fetal abnormalities.

In this study, Pomeranians with non-illness, generalized alopecia did not exhibit adrenal or pituitary abnormalities, suggesting a breed-specific hormonal pattern as a potential cause rather than a functional adrenal anomaly.

In this study, an unexpected premature birth of two goat kids occurred following prostaglandin administration in a timed artificial insemination protocol, with both kids exhibiting congenital abnormalities such as laryngotracheal swelling and generalized alopecia.

In this literature review, potential health risks of toxic chemicals commonly found in cosmetic products were linked to issues such as cancer, reproductive abnormalities, and skin diseases, highlighting concerns over ingredients like talc, parabens, and phthalates.

This case report presented a 64-year-old Thai woman diagnosed with late-onset eruptive clear cell syringoma, and the authors highlighted a potential link between this condition and glucose metabolism abnormalities, suggesting the need for metabolic screening in similar elderly patients.

This review highlights that idiopathic hirsutism is characterized by local hyperandrogenization affecting hair growth, without other signs of hyperandrogenism, and shows no new results; racial differences in prevalence are noted but not in androgenic steroids.

To diagnose Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, two out of three signs—irregular periods, high male hormone levels, or cysts on the ovaries—are needed.
