This study found an association between higher phthalate exposure and increased incidence of precocious puberty in girls, suggesting a need to reduce children's exposure to these endocrine disruptors.

In this study, hair samples from dogs with chronic degenerative valve disease showed significantly higher concentrations of certain endocrine-disrupting chemicals compared to healthy dogs, suggesting a potential link that warrants further investigation.

This review discusses potential links between early-onset androgenetic alopecia and exposure to endocrine disruptors in adolescents, but reports no clinical results; the authors suggest further investigation.

This review discusses the potential impact of endocrine-disrupting chemicals and body size on pubertal onset and progression, highlighting critical gaps and priorities for future research without presenting new clinical results.

This review explores the "brain-skin connection" and presents evidence suggesting keloids may be influenced by psychosocial stress, although it reports no new experimental results.

Environmental factors like temperature and nutrition affect hair growth, with humans showing seasonal hair growth differences.

This research highlights that various environmental pollutants, including particulate matter, tobacco smoke, and heavy metals, can significantly affect hair follicle health, linking them to conditions like alopecia areata and androgenetic alopecia, underscoring the need for further study in this area.

This review discusses the health risks of mercury from dental amalgam, including higher levels of mercury in dentists and pregnant women, and suggests using composite resins instead.

This study evaluated factors influencing hair steroid concentrations in early infancy, finding small effects from birth mode, season, and age-related changes, suggesting hair analysis as promising for assessing long-term endocrine activity.

This review discusses how urban air pollutants may influence the regulation of JAK3 signaling in alopecia areata and reports no new experimental results; the authors integrate existing data to map potential pathways and biomarkers.

This dissertation investigates how environmental exposures, such as air pollution and endocrine disruptors, impact women's reproductive and gynecological health throughout life, highlighting associations with earlier menarche, decreased ovarian reserve, and increased PCOS risk, and emphasizing healthcare system shortcomings in properly diagnosing these conditions.

This chapter reviews the clinical features, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of various non-hormonal, non-infectious alopecias without providing new clinical findings.

This study developed a new analytical method to identify a wide range of endocrine disrupting compounds in full-term amniotic fluid, revealing diverse substances with potential endocrine activity.

This review discusses the multifactorial etiology of hypospadias, including genetic predispositions and possible environmental factors, and highlights the need for further studies on genetic and environmental contributions to its increasing prevalence, without presenting new findings.

This review discusses the use of antimüllerian hormone as a marker of ovarian reserve in infertility diagnosis and treatment, noting it reflects oocyte quantity but not health or pregnancy likelihood.

This article discusses differences in hair loss among monozygotic female twins despite identical genetics and reports no new clinical findings.

This abstract explains that androgenetic alopecia, a common hair loss disorder influenced by genetics and hormones like dihydrotestosterone, has FDA-approved treatments including minoxidil, finasteride, and photolaser therapy, but its genetic basis and susceptibility to environmental factors remain complex.

This study observed that chronic and acute exposure to finasteride negatively impacted development, reproduction, and gene expression in Daphnia magna, highlighting the environmental risks of this pharmaceutical for freshwater ecosystems.

This article discusses the causes of polycystic ovary syndrome, including environmental pollutants, genetics, and oxidative stress, and explains how these factors contribute to symptoms like irregular menstrual cycles and obesity without reporting new clinical results.

This study assessed the environmental impact of the drug finasteride on Daphnia magna, finding that both acute and chronic exposure impaired development and reproduction, affected gene expression and metabolism, and altered lipid profiles, highlighting the need to understand pharmaceutical impacts on aquatic ecosystems.

This article discusses how nutritional and environmental factors, along with antioxidant supplementation, may improve hair growth by mitigating the effects of androgens and reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the role of genetic mutations and environmental endocrine disruptors in insufficient androgen action, which can result in conditions like hypospadias, cryptorchidism, and micropenis, during male fetal development.

This study suggests that dutasteride does not present a significant risk to wild fish populations at typical environmental concentrations, but its notable bioaccumulation requires further investigation.

This review examines the effects of antiandrogens on female reproductive systems, particularly regarding environmental endocrine disruptors, and presents no new research findings.

This narrative review highlights that declining testosterone levels are a complex public health issue potentially influenced by modifiable lifestyle factors and environmental stressors, suggesting integrated strategies may be needed to address the trend's impacts on health.

This article reviews the potential causes of insufficient androgen action during fetal development, such as enzyme and receptor gene mutations or environmental disruptors, but reports no new results.

This chapter explores the potential of phytochemicals in modulating human endocrine function, emphasizing the growing interest in plant-derived alternatives to synthetic medications for managing metabolic and hormonal disorders often linked to chemical exposures and lifestyle factors.

This review discusses the potential health risks of mercury released from dental amalgam, examining its effects on multiple body systems, and calls for replacing amalgam with composite resins due to these concerns.

This review discusses the impact of endocrine-disrupting chemicals on pediatric health, linking them to various disorders, and calls for improved biomonitoring strategies and precautionary policies.

This review posits that alopecia in PCOS results from the interaction between local follicular signaling failures, insulin resistance, inflammation, and genetic predispositions, rather than solely from androgen excess, and recommends a systems-level framework for its management.
