This study found that women with nonclassic congenital adrenal hyperplasia (NC-CAH) reported lower sexual function and higher sexual distress compared to those with classic CAH (C-CAH), particularly among those showing signs of androgen excess.

In this study, women with a complete hydatidiform mole had significantly higher pre-evacuation levels of hCG, free testosterone, and DHEA-S compared to controls, which declined after HM evacuation.

This review highlights the eye and skin manifestations of endocrine-related metabolic diseases but provides no new clinical results.

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.

This study found that high prepubertal and pubertal androgen levels, originating from both adrenal and gonadal secretion, were negatively associated with adult height outcomes in males with Silver-Russell syndrome.

This review discusses the varied symptoms and prevalence of long COVID in 20% to 60% of acute COVID-19 patients, emphasizing the lack of clear diagnostic criteria and treatment options, and proposes a functional medicine approach as a potential management strategy.

This review discusses hypopituitarism's bidirectional relationship with COVID-19 due to metabolic comorbidities and pituitary risks, but it reports no new clinical results.

In this case study, a 44-year-old woman with an adrenal adenoma secreting both cortisol and androgens developed Cushing syndrome and significant virilization, but experienced major symptom improvement following surgical removal of the benign tumor.

This study found that tildacerfont treatment in males with congenital adrenal hyperplasia reduced androgen levels and improved markers of testicular function, suggesting potential benefits for male reproductive health.

In this study, researchers found that human ovaries at different life stages biosynthesize both canonical and non-canonical steroid hormones, with fetal ovaries showing higher enzyme activity related to estradiol and testosterone conversion compared to adult tissues.

In this case study, a 69-year-old woman with severe hypercortisolism developed acute adrenal insufficiency after starting ketoconazole treatment, highlighting the need for cautious dosing and close monitoring of adrenal function, particularly in patients with prior glucocorticoid exposure.

This review discusses the presence of the StAR protein in 17 non-classical steroidogenic tissues, suggesting that advanced detection methods are needed for a complete understanding of its functions in these tissues.

In this study, structural and functional brain abnormalities specific to visuospatial and somatosensory processing networks were observed in patients with anorexia nervosa, highlighting a critical role for the precuneus.

Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia is mainly caused by enzyme deficiencies, leading to varying symptoms like hormone imbalances and physical changes.

Women's ovarian hormones and adrenal androgens change throughout life, affecting hair loss and health.

The study observed that women with congenital adrenal hyperplasia experience more impaired sexual functions and are more often homosexually or bisexually oriented than those with polycystic ovary syndrome.

This study found that young women with nonclassic congenital adrenal hyperplasia had impaired sexual function and mild depressive symptoms compared to healthy women.

This study developed a detailed classification system for functional androgenization in females that may enhance diagnosis and personalized treatment by identifying individual dysfunctions.

This case report describes a 46-year-old Italian woman with congenital adrenal hyperplasia who experienced significant improvements in physical and psychological health after receiving a delayed diagnosis and subsequent treatment.

This study found a high prevalence of clinical signs and functional disorders of androgen excess in premenopausal women, with idiopathic hyperandrogenism and idiopathic hirsutism rates similar to PCOS.

In this study, children with classical congenital adrenal hyperplasia were found to have increased epicardial fat thickness, which was associated with subclinical atherosclerosis markers and left ventricular dysfunction, especially in poorly controlled cases.

This study developed a new method for detecting 30 hormones in anti-aging functional foods, demonstrating good sensitivity and reliability, and identified seven hormones in four out of 14 samples tested.

This study found that diagnosing non-classical 3 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase deficiency solely based on elevated serum or urinary 5-ene-steroids may not be reliable.

This case report describes a functional adrenocortical oncocytoma that co-secreted testosterone and cortisol.

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.

Acne is significantly influenced by genetics, and understanding its genetic basis could lead to better, targeted treatments.

This review describes two cases of young women with primary amenorrhea and hyperandrogenemia, suggesting that adrenal tumors should be considered in patients with significantly elevated circulating testosterone levels.

This review discusses the impact of COVID-19 on the endocrine system and reports no clinical results; the authors emphasize the need to investigate endocrine damage during and after COVID-19 infection.
