This study found that diagnosing nonclassic congenital adrenal hyperplasia in women based solely on serum 17OHP measurements can lead to false positives, suggesting the need for urinary steroid profiles and genetic testing for confirmation.

This study found that anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is a valuable primary variable for classifying functional androgenization, especially in distinguishing ovarian-related groups, and supports the novel stratification system.

This case report describes a 60-year-old postmenopausal woman with virilization and hirsutism caused by hilus-cell hyperplasia, which was confirmed following bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy.

In this study, researchers discovered that the MafB gene, which is important for macrophage differentiation, shows high expression in the pancreas and is influenced by sex steroids, with varied expression patterns in hamster tissues and during reproductive phases.

This review discusses sex differences in the neuroendocrine response to stress, focusing primarily on rodent studies, and highlights open questions about the roles of gonadal hormones and sex chromosomes.

This study observed that adding simvastatin to ongoing metformin treatment reduced certain androgen levels in women with non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia and abnormal glucose metabolism, suggesting a potential therapeutic benefit.

Finasteride reduces hair loss and treats BPH without major hormone changes, but may cause sexual dysfunction.

This review discusses the embryology, structure, and function of sebaceous glands and their involvement in skin disorders but reports no novel findings.

This review highlights the efficacy of transdermal testosterone therapy in improving sexual function in women with hypoactive sexual desire disorder, though approved formulations and long-term safety data are limited.

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 article discusses the challenges in diagnosing non-classical congenital adrenal hyperplasia and emphasizes personalized treatment approaches, reporting no new clinical results.

This review discusses the neurobiology of sexual function and reports no new results; the authors cover multiple endocrine and neurotransmitter influences on sexual desire, arousal, and orgasm stages.

This study observed sexually dimorphic effects of reduced Rdh10 on energy metabolism and muscle function in mice, with males experiencing decreased endurance and females showing increased endurance on a high-fat diet.

This review discusses the impact of hormones on female sexual function and dysfunction, highlighting the complexity and gaps in basic research, and reports no new clinical findings.

In this study, the aqueous extract from Phthirusa pyrifolia leaves significantly decreased testosterone levels in male Wistar rats without causing liver or kidney damage, suggesting potential effects on libido and reproduction.

This study found a weak negative correlation between inhaled corticosteroid dose and hair cortisol levels in children with asthma, suggesting that hair cortisol measurement may reflect adrenal function in these children.

This case series reported incidents of iatrogenic Cushing's Syndrome linked to high doses of intralesional corticosteroid injections and mesotherapy regimens, highlighting the need for cautious prescription practices and further research on mesotherapy safety.

This study describes the first case of female pseudohermaphroditism due to a novel homozygous glucocorticoid receptor gene mutation, indicating possible pre- and postnatal virilization in affected females.

This study reported that machine learning analysis of protein profiles in hair segments achieved high accuracy in distinguishing women with non-suicidal self-injury disorder from healthy controls, suggesting hair proteomics as a promising non-invasive biomarker for stress-related psychopathology with potential clinical applications.

This chapter reviews the causes and underlying steroid pathways of hirsutism and virilization in women, detailing relevant conditions and laboratory assays without reporting new clinical results.

This article reviews congenital adrenal hyperplasia, a group of rare genetic disorders affecting steroid synthesis, and highlights the need for specific therapy and ongoing monitoring, but reports no new clinical findings.

This review discusses the role of corticotropin-releasing hormone in human skin, focusing on its regulation, receptors, and functions, and highlights parallels with the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis; it reports no new research findings.

This review discusses the pharmacological properties and clinical applications of cyproterone acetate and similar antiandrogens, noting previous failures in local applications due to concentration limitations; it reports no new empirical results.

This study found that surgical normalization of testosterone in hyperandrogenic women with ovarian androgen-secreting tumors did not significantly change body weight or insulin sensitivity after 12 months.

This case report identified ovarian hyperthecosis as the cause of recent-onset androgenic symptoms in a 73-year-old woman, which was confirmed by ovary removal and led to symptom improvement.

This study describes a method to estimate endogenous hormone production by neutralizing an endogenous hormone with an oppositely acting hormone.

In this study, researchers found that overweight and obese women with polycystic ovary syndrome showed adverse changes in glucose metabolism over time, highlighting the importance of early intervention to prevent cardiometabolic diseases.

This review examines the clinical features, causes, diagnosis, and treatment of Chrousos syndrome but reports no new experimental findings on this condition.

This paper describes the hGRα gene structure and its expression, focusing on the functional properties of the longest GRα isoform, but reports no new results.

This study used a novel extraction method to detect and measure mineralocorticoids and glucocorticoids in hair follicles, concluding these steroids may serve as effective biomarkers for diagnosing conditions related to steroid excess or deficiency, such as Cushing’s syndrome and congenital adrenal hyperplasia.
