This study found that female patients with anorexia nervosa had lower hair cortisol concentration compared to healthy and psychiatric controls, which may be influenced by body mass index rather than anorexia-related endocrine changes.

Diffuse alopecia in women may be related to androgens and iron deficiency, and basic hormone and nutrient screening is useful.

Higher thyroid hormone levels may be linked to certain types of polycystic ovary syndrome.

This study found that triglycerides, testosterone, and SHBG levels were associated with hyperandrogenism in women with PCOS, while FGS was not linked to this condition.

In this study, researchers found a significant positive association between cortisol levels in hair and feces of domestic cats and dogs, suggesting hair cortisol assays could be a viable option for monitoring chronic stress.

In this study, 12 months of cyproterone acetate and ethinyl oestradiol treatment significantly reduced hair growth rate and certain hormone levels in hirsute women, though hair density and prolactin levels remained unchanged.

This study found that switching juvenile mice from a high-fat, high-carbohydrate diet to a control diet optimally reduced hormonal imbalances and weight, with nutraceuticals offering partial support.

This article reviews the design and objectives of the Rotterdam Study, as well as summarizes major findings, without reporting new results.

Proximal hair cortisol is a reliable tool for diagnosing Cushing's Syndrome.

This study found that higher Lnk expression in PCOS patients may contribute to insulin resistance by inhibiting insulin signaling pathways.

In this study, a significant positive correlation between clinical hyperandrogenism and free androgen index was found in younger women with PCOS, but not in older women.

This study found that women with PCOS had significantly higher angiotensin converting enzyme activity and insulin resistance compared to controls, suggesting a correlation between these factors.

In this study, correlations between urinary and serum androgen metabolites were examined in girls aged 6-13, revealing that summed urinary metabolites strongly correspond with circulating androstenedione and testosterone levels, though individual variations depend on participant characteristics such as age and body measurements.

This study developed a validated gas chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry assay to assess sex steroid hormones in cerebrospinal fluid, finding substantial levels of DHEA, androstenedione, and testosterone, with strong correlations to serum levels, providing insight into sex steroid dynamics in the human CNS.

This review discusses the etio-pathogenetic factors in benign prostatic hyperplasia and their role in the development of lower urinary tract symptoms but reports no new research findings.

This review suggests that most mutations in the SRD5A2 gene show no clear genotype-phenotype correlation in 5-α-Reductase deficiency, although mutation location affects severity.

This study found that improved testosterone measurement using LC-MS/MS in women with PCOS revealed a stronger correlation between hyperandrogenism and insulin resistance than previously detected.

This study found evidence for a genetic basis of polycystic ovary syndrome, indicating an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance among first-degree relatives.

This study on women aged 18–40 with polycystic ovary syndrome reported that a three-month treatment involving dietary changes, oral contraceptives, fertility drugs, and supplements significantly improved ovulation, menstrual regularity, BMI, and reduced hirsutism, acne, and certain immune factors compared to pre-treatment and control groups.

In this study of women with hirsutism or androgenic alopecia, diverse underlying endocrine disorders including polycystic ovaries and various enzyme deficiencies were detected, often associated with elevated testosterone levels.

This article reviews the use of cross-sex hormonal therapy in transmen and reports that it is reasonably safe, suggesting monitoring should be frequent initially but can be less frequent over time.

This review discusses the role of hormonal dysregulation and metabolic syndrome in hidradenitis suppurativa and reports no new clinical results.

This article provides an endocrine perspective on evaluating and managing hirsutism but reports no new research findings.

This article reviews studies on thyroid influence on hair growth, noting varied results, including accelerated growth in some normal and underfed rats after thyroid administration, but reports no clinical results.

This review discusses the impact of COVID-19 on the endocrine system and reports no clinical results; the authors emphasize the need to investigate endocrine damage during and after COVID-19 infection.

This study suggests that weight loss can improve fertility outcomes in overweight and obese women with PCOS, and letrozole should be considered the new first-line treatment over clomiphene citrate for anovulatory infertility in this population.

This review discusses various skin diseases with endocrinological origins and reports no clinical results, highlighting the need for interdisciplinary understanding in diagnosis.

This study found that an increased calcium/magnesium ratio in hair and lower chromium concentration were associated with higher insulin resistance in Korean adult males.

In this study, the authors concluded that clinical hyperandrogenism is not a reliable predictor for biochemical hyperandrogenism in Thai women with PCOS.

This article reviews the potential of combining antiandrogenic and antiestrogenic treatments for BPH, highlighting aromatase inhibitors, but presents no new clinical results; further research is needed.
