This study found a high prevalence of hyperandrogenemia in women with PCOS, with distinct biochemical differences according to BMI and presence of hyperandrogenemia.

In this study, Diane treatment in women with androgenetic alopecia led to normalization of hormone levels and improved hair condition, including less greasiness and reduced hair loss.

This study found that canrenone significantly reduced hair growth and decreased certain androgen levels in women with idiopathic post-puberal hirsutism, suggesting potential effectiveness as a treatment.

This study found that experiencing childhood abuse is associated with higher BMI, but hair cortisol and cortisone do not mediate this relationship.

In this study, micronutrient intake was associated with androgen levels in women with PCOS, with the association more pronounced in NA PCOS compared to HA PCOS groups.

This study found that women with PCOS who have an exaggerated 17-hydroxyprogesterone response to buserelin exhibit more severe hyperandrogenemia, increased insulin secretion, and reduced insulin sensitivity.

This study suggests that hair cortisol measurement could serve as an alternative diagnostic method for Cushing’s disease, showing acceptable concordance with urinary free cortisol despite differing evaluated periods.

This study suggests that hormonal changes may contribute to the persistent symptoms of long COVID, with specific patterns observed in serum hormone levels related to fatigue and sensory dysfunction.

This study found that the prevalence of polycystic ovary syndrome was 6.5% in a minimally biased sample of Caucasian women from Spain.

This study found a 6.5% prevalence of polycystic ovary syndrome among a population of Caucasian women in Spain, based on specific endocrine criteria.

This study found that environmental factors such as smoking, alcohol consumption, exercise, and testosterone levels may significantly influence various forms of hair loss in male identical twins.

This study suggests that androstendione and DHEA are useful indicators for diagnosing hyperandrogenemia in hirsute women, while DHEAS was not found to be helpful.

This study found that women with PCOS have higher total PSA levels than controls, and the total PSA level correlates positively with testosterone and free androgen index.

This study found that sleep disorders, especially poor sleep quality, are common in women with PCOS, suggesting the need for regular screening using specific questionnaires.

This case report describes a postmenopausal woman with hirsutism and hair loss attributed to ovarian stromal hyperplasia; surgical removal of the ovaries normalized testosterone levels and resolved symptoms.

Treating sleep apnea in young obese women with PCOS can improve heart health and insulin sensitivity.

This article provides an overview of diagnosing Cushing's syndrome, emphasizing the importance of assessing clinical signs and the appropriate use of first-line biochemical screening.

This study found that older patients with Cushing's syndrome had fewer typical symptoms of hypercortisolism, more comorbidities, and were more often treated conservatively compared to younger patients.

This review discusses Chrousos syndrome, a rare condition caused by NR 3C1 gene mutations leading to glucocorticoid resistance, and reports no new clinical results; early identification and genetic testing are recommended for diagnosis.

In this study, cosyntropin-induced cortisol spikes did not affect hair cortisol concentration in captive grizzly bears, contrasting with stress responses observed in free-ranging bears during capture.

This study suggests that many men with premature balding exhibit a hormonal pattern similar to some aspects of polycystic ovary syndrome in women.

Early-onset hair loss in Egyptian males is linked to genetics, hormones, and lifestyle factors like smoking and diet.

This study found that lipid accumulation product (LAP) and free androgen index (FAI) can highly predict liver steatosis in women with PCOS phenotype A.

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 found that hair cortisol concentration in free-ranging brown bears is influenced by handling methods, body condition, and potentially both short- and long-term stressors.

This case report describes a testosterone- and cortisol-secreting adrenocortical oncocytoma causing hirsutism in a 23-year-old woman, highlighting adrenal oncocytomas as an important consideration for differential diagnosis.

This article reviews the use of hair cortisol concentration as a biomarker to assess long-term stress in both animals and humans, but it reports no new experimental results.

In this study, ketoconazole treatment improved acne in all women and reduced hirsutism in some, but it caused several side effects and requires careful monitoring.

This case report describes a rare instance of a patient with anorexia nervosa who was subsequently diagnosed with Cushing's syndrome, highlighting diagnostic challenges due to overlapping symptoms.

In this study, a very low-calorie ketogenic diet significantly improved metabolic and hormonal profiles in obese men, but did not significantly enhance most semen parameters except for sperm motility.
