Testosterone replacement can help menopausal women with various symptoms, but should be used carefully and is not yet officially licensed in the UK for women.

This article reviews the causes and treatments of hirsutism, emphasizing the importance of considering ethnic and cultural norms when interpreting grading systems, and reports no new original findings.

This review discusses the cosmetic and health implications of hirsutism and highlights its potential link to serious underlying disorders, but it presents no new clinical findings.

Generalized glucocorticoid resistance causes hormone imbalances and varied symptoms due to gene mutations.

This article describes a case of severe hyperandrogenism in a 35-year-old woman where high-resolution imaging ruled out tumors, and treatment with cyproterone acetate normalized testosterone levels.

In this animal study, finasteride was found to significantly lower cortisol and increase testosterone levels in female rats, indicating its broader impact on endocrine regulation by altering adrenal and gonadal hormones.

In this case-control study, researchers found that serum apelin-12 levels were significantly higher in acne patients and correlated with acne severity, BMI, insulin resistance, and inflammation, suggesting that managing insulin resistance could be important for acne treatment.

This report presents a case of a child with hypothyroidism and poorly controlled type 1 diabetes developing both Mauriac syndrome and Van Wyk–Grumbach syndrome, two rare complications.

This article reviews differential diagnosis approaches for 46,XY DSD, proposing a diagnostic algorithm focused on biochemical and genetic data, without presenting new clinical results.

This article discusses the unclear aspects of diagnosing and treating polycystic ovarian syndrome and emphasizes a multidisciplinary approach but reports no clinical results.

Many women experience sexual dysfunction, but few seek help, and better treatment and medical training are needed.

This research found that androgen bioactivity plays a role in normal female sexual differentiation, suggesting females develop within a significant androgenic environment, with implications for understanding conditions like congenital adrenal hyperplasia.

Lower adrenal hormone levels may cause hair loss in postmenopausal women, certain patterns help diagnose nail cancer, and a gene variant linked to higher skin cancer risk in kidney transplant patients suggests monitoring folate levels.

This review discusses the chronic nature of acne and its association with various systemic diseases, but reports no new clinical findings, highlighting the need for further study on its nutritional or genetic links.

This paper reviews causes of hirsutism in women and emphasizes the importance of identifying underlying conditions for risk assessment, though it reports no new clinical findings.

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.

In this study, women with androgenic alopecia showed increased excretion of steroid metabolites and heightened 5α-reductase activity, suggesting these may contribute to the condition's hormonal abnormalities.

This review discusses the early developmental origin of premature adrenarche and polycystic ovary syndrome and highlights potential utero-based mechanisms, reporting no new clinical findings.

This study suggests that hair loss in Chesapeake Bay retrievers is a breed-specific syndrome characterized by unique histological features and abnormal steroid production, possibly influenced by familial factors.

Acne is linked to inflammation and insulin resistance, and is associated with various syndromes that require different treatments.

This article reviews topics from the American Academy of Veterinary Dermatology and American College of Veterinary Dermatology Annual Meeting and contains no new clinical findings.

This review discusses the profound impact of obesity on skin physiology and dermatologic conditions and reports no new experimental results, recommending awareness and treatment strategy development for obesity-associated dermatoses.

This chapter discusses the sources, classifications, and effects of hormones, their role in disease treatment and food security, and reports no new results.

This review discusses definitions of polycystic ovary syndrome and reports no new clinical results; the authors support using modified 1990 NIH criteria and acknowledge ongoing evolution as research advances.

This review discusses guidelines for androgen use in women and concludes that more research is needed before recommending testosterone due to insufficient evidence on safety and efficacy.

This study found trilostane to be an effective and generally safe treatment for improving symptoms in dogs with pituitary-dependent hyperadrenocorticism.

This article discusses the role of human hair follicles in neuroendocrinology and suggests potential new therapeutic targets by examining how neuromediators influence hair growth, pigmentation, and stem cell biology in organ cultures.

This review discusses the safety of testosterone therapy for postmenopausal women and concludes that, aside from hirsutism and acne, it appears safe at physiological doses for several years, though more long-term studies are needed.

This study discusses the potential of targeting 11β-HSD1 for treating metabolic syndrome and highlights emerging promising data from human trials on selective 11β-HSD1 inhibitors.
