This review discusses the definition, causes, diagnostic strategies, and treatment options for hirsutism in women without reporting new clinical results, and highlights the impact of the condition on self-esteem.

This study suggests that progesterone has both THP/GABAA-dependent and independent anticonvulsive effects in a hippocampal-kindled mouse model.

This review explores treatment approaches for excess male-pattern body hair in women and emphasizes the importance of effective management, but reports no new clinical findings.

This article reviews the historical context of finasteride's development for BPH and its serendipitous discovery for hair growth, reporting no new research outcomes.

This study observed that most hirsute patients on combined cyproterone acetate and 'Diane' therapy experienced a reduction in hair growth, with hair becoming softer, thinner, and lighter in color over 12 months.

This study found that using an oral contraceptive with bicalutamide significantly reduced hirsutism in women with PCOS compared to an oral contraceptive alone, although it increased total cholesterol and LDL levels.

This study found that the PSEN1-P242LfsX11 mutation in hidradenitis suppurativa influences cytokine and chemokine expression in macrophages, potentially affecting inflammatory responses.

The new system can grow hair in the lab and test hair growth treatments.

This case report describes a 45-year-old woman who developed Cushing's syndrome and hirsutism after using topically applied desoximetasone (Topicorte).

In this study, deleting the gene Mettl3 in mouse epidermal progenitors resulted in impaired epithelial development and self-renewal, highlighting m⁶A's crucial role in regulating chromatin modifiers and maintaining normal epithelial tissue function.

This study identified key mRNAs and lncRNAs, along with related pathways, that play potentially important roles in hair follicle development and cycling in cashmere goats.

In this review, the authors summarize the phytochemistry, pharmacology, and medicinal uses of Hibiscus rosa sinensis, highlighting its various benefits such as hypotensive and anti-inflammatory effects, while noting the need for more research on its specific mechanisms and potential toxicities.

This review examines hormonal therapies, including finasteride, dutasteride, spironolactone, and oral contraceptives, for treating hidradenitis suppurativa, summarizing various clinical study outcomes but reporting no new clinical results.

In this study using rat hippocampal cultures, progesterone and testosterone showed neuroprotective effects against oxygen-glucose deprivation-induced neuronal cell death, while metabolism of these hormones in the brain may affect their protective actions.

This review discusses varying views on the pathogenesis of hidradenitis suppurativa and the challenges in achieving a consensus, emphasizing the need for further research rather than providing new findings.

This study found that genes encoding mouse high-glycine/tyrosine proteins show distinct spatial and temporal expression patterns in hair follicles, suggesting diverse protein distribution during hair growth cycles.

In this study, most women with hirsutism and regular menstrual cycles were diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome, suggesting limited use of the term 'idiopathic or racial' hirsutism without thorough evaluation.

This study found that a low-dose intermittent finasteride regimen significantly reduced hirsutism scores in adolescent girls with PCOS or idiopathic hirsutism, with similar efficacy but potentially safer and less expensive than continuous administration.

This study found that monitoring endogenous steroid metabolites in serum may improve the detection of testosterone doping by highlighting promising biomarkers.

This study found that higher BMI in PCOS patients at a Chinese clinic was associated with functional disorders of androgen excess, suggesting BMI may predict hyperandrogenism in this population.

Men with baldness have higher levels of specific proteins, suggesting local hormone production may play a role in hair loss.

This study found that flutamide, finasteride, ketoconazole, and EE-CPA all significantly reduced hirsutism scores, hair diameter, and hair growth rate in women with hirsutism over 12 months.

This study found that spironolactone 100 mg daily did not demonstrate objective benefits in managing idiopathic hirsutism, as it increased hair shaft diameter without reducing serum androgen levels.

This clinical study explores the causes, progression, and treatment of hirsutism in females, noting its association with tumors in endocrine glands, but does not report new clinical results.

This study found that monocytes/macrophages with a pro-inflammatory M1-like phenotype may play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of hidradenitis suppurativa, suggesting potential therapeutic targets.

This study found that hidradenitis suppurativa significantly impacts patients' sexuality, with many experiencing fear of rejection, perceived unattractiveness, and negative effects on relationships and sexual activity.

This study suggests that apremilast shows prolonged efficacy for up to 2 years in hidradenitis suppurativa patients who initially responded to the treatment, although further verification in a larger cohort is needed.

This study found that testosterone and dihydrotestosterone are crucial for synaptic transmission and spine density in male hippocampal neurons, suggesting sex-specific effects of neurosteroids on brain development.

This study found that among Filipino women, a modified Ferriman-Gallwey score of 7 or above indicates hirsutism and is significantly associated with elevated calculated free testosterone.

This study found that millimolar concentrations of minoxidil in the skin induced VEGF production through HIF-1 stabilization by inhibiting PHD-2, implying a molecular mechanism for hair growth promotion.
