In this review, the authors provide an updated overview of hirsutism, highlighting new insights into androgen action, assessment methods, and treatment options, aiming for a personalized approach to manage this complex endocrine and psychological condition.

This study identified that a deficiency in the palmitoyl transferase enzyme, due to a mutation in the Zdhhc13 gene, led to severe physiological abnormalities in mice, including skin, bone, and systemic amyloid issues.

This study found that the retinoic acid derivative Ro 10-9359 cleared psoriasis lesions in over half of the patients, but most experienced side effects, including skin issues and altered liver enzyme levels.

This study suggests that among GLP-1 agonists, liraglutide and exenatide are linked to the highest rates of gastrointestinal issues, including potentially pancreatitis-related enzyme changes noted in animal models.

This study found that enzyme depilation of lambskins can cause damage due to the removal of collagen VI, suggesting the need for a protease that avoids this interaction for successful application.

This study found that patients with female pattern hair loss had higher oxidative stress levels and lower antioxidant enzyme activities than healthy controls, suggesting oxidative stress may play a key role in disease progression.

This study found that androgenetic alopecia patients had significantly lower serum levels of paraoxonase 1, which correlated with disease severity and suggests a role of oxidative stress in its pathogenesis.
