This review discusses the influence of menopausal status on hair parameters in women without alopecia, finding significant differences in hair growth rate, percentage anagen, and hair diameter distributions, particularly in the frontal scalp.

This study found that using Urtica cannabina extract shampoo led to increased levels of copper, zinc, and iodine in the scalp hair of Mongolian women, along with improvements in hair growth, diameter, and density compared to a regular shampoo.

This study found that wavy sinus hairs in cats were significantly associated with feline leukemia virus infection, suggesting this physical trait might be useful for identifying infected cats.

In this study, physiological skin changes like linea nigra (84.4%) and striae distensae (78.4%) were most common in pregnant women, while pathological changes were shown to be significantly associated with gravida and gestational age.

This guideline from the Endocrine Society recommends using the Rotterdam criteria for diagnosing polycystic ovary syndrome and outlines first-line treatments, emphasizing hormonal contraceptives and lifestyle intervention.

In this study, seasonal hair loss was most pronounced in low-ranking male vervet monkeys, and changes in scrotal color and hyperpigmentation also correlated with hair loss, but underlying causes were not identified.

In this study, finasteride, 1 mg daily, significantly increased hair weight more than hair count in men with androgenetic alopecia, indicating additional factors like hair growth rate and thickness may contribute to its effectiveness.

Pregnancy often causes skin changes like darkening, stretch marks, and hair growth, which may improve after childbirth.

This article discusses various hair and nail abnormalities linked to paraneoplastic conditions and cancer treatments, emphasizing their potential role in diagnosing and managing internal malignancies and reports no new clinical findings.

This review discusses the role of androgens in menopausal women's health, highlighting symptoms of both hyperandrogenemia and androgen deficiency, but reports no clinical results.

This study demonstrated that elevated glucocorticoid levels in transgenic mice led to pancreatic exocrine cells transforming into hepatocyte-like cells, resulting in pancreatic dysfunction.

This study suggests the average age of onset for androgenic alopecia may be decreasing, but a longer-term study is needed to confirm this observation.

This study found that variations in sleep patterns, free testosterone, and 5-alpha-reductase type 1 activity are associated with changes in sebum excretion in women, which may contribute to variability in acne studies.

This review highlights that obesity is linked to various hormonal imbalances beyond diabetes, prompting attention to related endocrine disorders in obese patients, including their prevalence, clinical presentation, and treatment considerations.

This case study reports that a woman with breast cancer experienced persistent alopecia after taxane chemotherapy and endocrine therapy, and significant improvement was seen with topical minoxidil.

In this study, low dose finasteride or dutasteride treatment was found to reduce prostate specific antigen levels in men with androgenetic alopecia, though levels sometimes remained stable or increased in those with low baseline PSA.

In this study on adult-onset, whole body Spry1/2/4 triple knockout mice, researchers observed endocrine abnormalities and no increased tumor incidence, despite similar food intake and motor function.

This study found that measuring specific steroid hormone levels can aid in diagnosing P450 oxidoreductase deficiency, a subtype of congenital adrenal hyperplasia, by distinguishing affected patients from healthy individuals.

Finasteride affects prostate weights and pituitary activity differently with age.

This study found that during late pregnancy in rats, there is an increase in extrasynaptic GABA A receptor number in granule cells of the dentate gyrus, linked to hormonal fluctuations.

This study found that long-term finasteride treatment in men with androgenetic alopecia significantly increased hair weight and count compared to placebo over nearly four years.

This study reports that among men, skin surface hydration and pH change with age, but transepidermal water loss and sebum production show less variation.

In this study, transgenic male mice over-expressing the androgen receptor in mesenchymal stem cells showed reduced fat mass and improved glucose clearance, suggesting enhanced androgen sensitivity may alter body composition.

This study demonstrated that troxerutin may protect human dermal papilla cells from H2O2-induced damage and suggests potential in treating alopecia by inhibiting ROS-mediated cellular damage.

In this study, the researchers observed that biotin administration in biotin-deficient children with alopecia eliminated certain membrane proteins from their blood, suggesting that biotin might regulate these proteins' expression.

The study observed that in women, the number of hair follicles with an internal root sheath decreases with age in the parietal region, also hinting at a reduction in hair follicle and shaft width.

This review discusses hormonal influences on hair growth and suggests that understanding hormone-gene interactions may improve treatment of hirsutism and alopecia, but reports no new clinical findings.

This article reviews dietary recommendations for managing polycystic ovary syndrome and provides evidence that diet changes can improve the androgen profile in affected women, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study found that women with acne resistant to conventional treatments had significantly higher levels of testosterone, DHEA‑S, prolactin, and LH, suggesting potential underlying hormonal disorders.

This study found that chemotherapy in female breast cancer patients caused significant early hair loss, which began to recover three months after completion, whereas tamoxifen did not affect hair growth.
