In this case report, a 21-year-old woman with PCOS and obesity underwent bariatric surgery, leading to significant weight loss and improved hormonal balance, which alleviated her hyperandrogenism symptoms like hirsutism and irregular periods.

This case report describes a 16-year-old girl with HAIR-AN syndrome requiring a multidisciplinary approach, including lifestyle changes and hormonal treatments, to manage symptoms and prevent systemic effects.

This study found no association between circulating androgens and prostate cancer risk, underscoring the complex role of androgen metabolism in the prostate.

Hormonal differences affect male pattern baldness.

This study found that thyroid hormones T3 and T4 enhance keratin 15 promoter activity and stimulate CD200 expression in epithelial stem cells from human scalp hair follicles, affecting their growth and differentiation.

The researchers reported that in mice, prolactin signaling in the skin epithelium inhibits hair follicle stem cell activation, promoting quiescence during periods of high serum prolactin like pregnancy and lactation.

This review discusses the etio-pathogenetic factors in benign prostatic hyperplasia and their role in the development of lower urinary tract symptoms but reports no new research findings.

This review discusses the hormonal influences on prostate carcinogenesis and notes ongoing trials investigating whether finasteride could reduce prostate cancer incidence by inhibiting dihydrotestosterone synthesis, but it reports no new results.

This review discusses hormonal and surgical gender-affirming interventions for transfeminine individuals, noting improvements in quality of life and mental health with minimal adverse effects, but reports no new research findings.

This review analyzed past research on hormonal treatments for hidradenitis suppurativa, finding that anti-androgens like finasteride and spironolactone, along with metformin, showed promise but large-scale trials are needed to understand their full potential.

This review suggests that, among non-hormonal treatments for menstrual irregularities in adolescents with PCOS, metformin is the most effective and cost-efficient option, particularly in overweight adolescent girls.

This study found that injecting various hormones or hormone-cholesterol mixtures into Willow Ptarmigan and White-tailed Ptarmigan led to the growth of pigmented feathers instead of the usual white winter feathers, suggesting hormonal influence on plumage color changes.

This article reviews the non-contraceptive benefits of hormonal contraception for treating acne vulgaris and hirsutism, highlighting improvements in quality of life, and reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses various sex hormones and related compounds, including estrogens and anabolic steroids, but reports no new findings; it highlights existing literature from 2014 regarding their use and effects.

Hormonal contraceptives are effective for teens but require careful consideration of side effects and individual health.

This review explores potential treatments for female androgenetic alopecia, noting that anti-hormonal therapies may be beneficial for some women, but emphasizes the need for further research and effective solutions.

This study found that women with female pattern hair loss exhibited hormonal imbalances, with the Free Androgen Index being a particularly effective diagnostic marker.

This study found that women with PCOS had significant hormonal imbalances, increased central obesity, and a lower 2D:4D digit ratio, suggesting prenatal androgen exposure may play a role in the condition's development.

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

This source observed that while supplementation with pro-, pre-, and synbiotics showed some beneficial effects for PCOS-related outcomes, the evidence quality was deemed low to very low, highlighting the need for further well-designed randomized controlled trials in women with PCOS.

This study found that ESR1 gene polymorphisms may be linked to hormonal imbalances in young women with hyperandrogenism, potentially affecting bone mineral density indirectly.

This study suggests that topical T3 can induce hair follicles to enter the growth phase and may reverse graying in mice, with in vitro results supporting enhanced hair shaft growth.

This review discusses the 2011 publications on the side effects of sex hormones and related compounds, without reporting new clinical results.

In this study, researchers found that hirsutism in Egyptian women with PCOS was associated with higher testosterone levels, while acne and androgenetic alopecia did not correlate with androgen levels or insulin resistance.

This abstract reviews the characteristics and health risks associated with polycystic ovary syndrome and does not report new findings, highlighting the syndrome's multifactorial nature.

This study found that 60% of men with mild to moderate androgenetic alopecia showed improvement after treatment with botanically derived 5AR inhibitors, suggesting these compounds may be effective, though larger trials are needed.

This protocol outlines a nationwide study to investigate the prevalence of metabolic and reproductive abnormalities, anxiety, and depression in Brazilian women with polycystic ovary syndrome, aiming to inform public health strategies.

This study observed that using only a 5 alpha-reductase inhibitor was ineffective for treating androgen-dependent hair loss in women, possibly due to differing copper levels influencing enzyme activity.

This randomized trial found that topical GT20029 significantly increased hair counts and width in Chinese men with androgenetic alopecia over 12 weeks, showing better results than placebo, with the 0.5% once daily and 1.0% twice weekly doses particularly effective.

This study observed that acne was strongly associated with higher BMI, alopecia, menstrual dysfunction, positive familial history, and overuse of sweet and fatty foods among dermatology patients.
