This study found that 82.3% of girls with anorexia nervosa had pili torti, an acquired hair defect, suggesting a potential link to excess vitamin A intake.

This study found that women with female pattern baldness often had a higher ratio of 3 alpha,17 beta-androstanediol glucuronide to sex hormone-binding globulin and lower serum sex hormone-binding globulin, possibly indicating minimal androgen excess.

This study found that hirsutism in women is associated with elevated androgen hormone levels and increased serum TNFα, suggesting a link between androgen-driven inflammatory responses and excessive hair growth.

This case report details a 13-year-old boy with Cushing syndrome, where BIPSS identified the pituitary gland as the cortisol excess source and hormonal tests showed suppressed puberty markers.

This study found that women with polycystic ovary syndrome have higher rates of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, with androgen excess contributing to the risk.

This article reports two cases where ovarian hyperthecosis caused hyperandrogenism in postmenopausal women, confirmed by imaging and resolved after bilateral oophorectomy.

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

In this case study, authors reported that a 43-year-old female patient initially showed persistently high testosterone levels due to immunoassay interference, later verified as normal using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), highlighting the need to consider assay artifacts in diagnosing hyperandrogenism without clinical signs.

This review discusses acne's common triggers, challenges with conventional treatments, and the potential of alternative therapies to reduce side effects and enhance outcomes, highlighting an increasing interest in safer approaches due to the limitations of current topical options.

This review examines the role of retinoic acid synthesis in hair follicles and sebaceous glands, focusing on its localization and function during normal and disease states, but reports no new results.

This review discusses various aspects of hirsutism in women, including causes, hormonal influences, and treatment approaches, but reports no new findings.

This guideline discusses the evaluation and treatment of hirsutism in premenopausal women, recommending oral contraceptive pills or antiandrogens as initial therapies with weak support from low-quality evidence.

This case study from Boston University details a 35-year-old woman diagnosed with congenital adrenal hyperplasia, treated with dexamethasone, leading to normalized androgen levels and successful conception.

This letter reports three cases of diffuse hair loss linked to hyperprolactinaemia but does not present new research findings.

The correspondence discusses the higher prevalence of acne vulgaris in hidradenitis suppurativa patients, but notes potential overestimation due to unrecognized facial HS.

In this study, researchers highlight the role of androgens like dihydrotestosterone in the pathophysiology of acne, pointing to the enzyme 5a-reductase type 1 as potentially more active in individuals with acne, which may contribute to hormonal influences in the condition's development.

Pubertal acne is linked to hormonal changes, affects quality of life, and is treated similarly to adult acne.

This review examines hormonal influences on acne development and available hormonal therapies but reports no new clinical results.

Skin changes can indicate hormonal imbalances and help diagnose endocrine disorders.

This study aimed to identify reliable predictors for the effectiveness of metformin therapy in weight loss and reduction of plasma androgen levels in PCOS women, highlighting the unpredictability of response to treatment.

This review discusses the potential of stem cell therapy for hair regrowth, emphasizing the advantages and promising outcomes, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that the normalized androgen ratio (NAR) could help evaluate androgen activity in women with acne vulgaris, hirsutism, and androgenetic alopecia, showing elevated NAR in some patients.

This study found that serum levels of epidermal growth factor (EGF) were significantly higher in patients with alopecia areata compared to healthy controls, suggesting a potential link to the disease's pathogenesis and severity.

This study concluded that serum Adiol-G levels generally parallel testosterone levels and, therefore, do not effectively serve as a marker of peripheral androgen excess in women with androgenic symptoms.

This article discusses polycystic ovary syndrome, describing its diagnostic criteria and noting that it is a common cause of anovulatory infertility and hirsutism, without reporting new research findings.

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

This study found that a recent outbreak of diffuse hair loss in Maharashtra's Buldhana district was linked to anagen effluvium, possibly caused by high selenium levels, along with strontium and zinc excess in patients' serum and local water sources.

This report describes a rare case of elevated serum DHEAS levels in a postmenopausal woman, linked to an ovarian sex cord-stromal tumor rather than the adrenal glands, challenging common assumptions about androgen sources.

This report describes two cases of postmenopausal hyperandrogenism where GnRH analogue use suggested an ovarian source of excess androgens, leading to a diagnosis of benign ovarian tumors.

This study found that women with PCOS displayed significantly higher activity of 5alpha-reductase, suggesting an additional role for liver and peripheral tissues in their androgen excess.
