This review examines the diverse roles of SRD5α enzymes across species, focusing on their involvement in steroid synthesis, sexual development, and various physiological processes, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that women with polycystic ovary syndrome have elevated cardiovascular risk markers, with levels being higher in obese participants compared to non-obese participants.

This article discusses the potential beneficial effect of spironolactone on androgenic alopecia but provides no new clinical findings.

This study established a normative free androgen index range of 0.7-6.4 and identified a cut-off value of 6.1 for reproductive-age women in southern China, highlighting hyperandrogenic women's increased metabolic disorder risks.

This study suggests that moderate elevated prolactin levels are unlikely to cause significant hair loss in women, but still warrant further diagnostic investigation to rule out a prolactin-producing pituitary tumor.

A combined drug and laser treatment improved hirsutism in a PCOS patient, also enhancing her heart health and requiring regular liver and kidney checks.

This study found that ZP4 expression was highest among PCOS patients with regular menstrual cycles, which may be linked to mature follicle presence, but no correlation with clinical indices was observed.

In this study, low-dose finasteride (2.5 mg/day) significantly reduced hirsutism scores in women over 12 months without significant hormonal changes or serious side effects.

This study found that surgical normalization of testosterone in hyperandrogenic women with ovarian androgen-secreting tumors did not significantly change body weight or insulin sensitivity after 12 months.

This study found that the L457(3.43)R mutation in the human luteinizing hormone receptor increases phosphodiesterase activity, reducing hormonal response despite elevated basal cAMP levels.

This study observed two distinct phenotypes among North Indian women with PCOS: obese hyperinsulinaemic dysglycemic women from Delhi and lean hyperandrogenic women from Srinagar, despite being in the same region.

This case series describes six women with both PCOS and Graves' disease, suggesting a possible shared underlying cause for their co-occurrence.

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.

This study revealed that manual thyroid examinations in alopecia patients may uncover thyroid abnormalities undetectable by blood tests alone, but further research is needed to assess their clinical importance.

In this study, spironolactone and spironolactone plus metformin both significantly reduced hirsutism scores in women with PCOS, but the combination therapy was not more effective than spironolactone alone regarding BMI, hormone levels, or insulin resistance.

This study found that among different subtypes of PCOS based on Rotterdam criteria, group A showed higher androgen levels and hirsutism, while all subtypes had increased LH and LH/FSH compared to controls.

This study observed that acanthosis nigricans is highly prevalent in Latin American youths, especially at the knuckles, and may indicate early insulin resistance even in those with a normal BMI.

The document concludes that managing PCOS involves treating symptoms and reducing long-term metabolic risks, with lifestyle changes being important.

This study assessed various androgens' diagnostic effectiveness for hyperandrogenaemia in PCOS using ROC curve analysis, but it reports no specific new results.

This study reports a novel TRbeta gene mutation associated with resistance to thyroid hormone syndrome, which may contribute to various forms of alopecia in the affected family members.

This study found that LC-MS/MS is a more reliable method than immunoassays for measuring serum 17OHP and androgen levels in women with hyperandrogenism.

This study found that acanthosis nigricans in the knuckles correlates with higher insulin and HOMA-IR values, potentially serving as an early, accessible marker for insulin resistance even without excess weight.

This case series describes three siblings with hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets, highlighting variations in their clinical presentations.

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.

Different types of polycystic ovary syndrome show varying levels of insulin resistance, with the 'PHO' type being the most insulin resistant.

This article presents a case of giant cell arteritis occurring in a patient with de Quervain's thyroiditis but reports no new clinical findings.

Doctors used a special blood sampling technique to diagnose a woman's rare ovarian tumor that was producing male hormones.

This study observed wide clinical diversity among five patients with the same VDR gene mutation causing vitamin D-dependent rickets type II, suggesting involvement of a nuclear accessory factor and a nongenomic action of the vitamin.

In this case report, a girl with autoimmune polyglandular syndrome type 1 experienced stabilized disease and reversal of alopecia universalis after treatment with glucocorticoids and methotrexate.

This study found that 27% of women with polycystic ovary syndrome reported perceived scalp hair thinning, which was associated with factors like advancing age, subjective hirsutism, disturbed sleep, smoking, abnormal glucose tolerance, and meal skipping.
