This study provides genomic and epigenomic insights into the white wax scale insect, highlighting high methylation levels and differential hormone profiles linked to its sexual dimorphism and developmental differences.

This study found that women with androgenetic alopecia had significantly higher mean plasma levels of DHEA-S and total testosterone compared to normal females, despite most individuals in both groups being within normal hormonal ranges.

In this study, idiopathic hirsutism was identified as the most common cause of hirsutism among the participants, with a significant difference in hormone levels between cases of polycystic ovarian syndrome and idiopathic hirsutism.

This study suggests that 150 kHz electromagnetic radiation exposure may reduce follicular cysts and increase developing follicles in a rat model of polycystic ovaries without affecting hormonal levels or overall ovary morphology.

This study observed that women with polycystic ovarian syndrome had higher serum SRAGE levels compared to controls, but the difference was not statistically significant.

In this retrospective study, researchers observed that infertile patients with PCOS have significantly different serum levels of certain hormones, specifically higher AMH and LH, and lower E2 and FSH, compared to infertile women without PCOS.

This review examines treatment options for PCOS, highlighting the importance of managing symptoms and patient counseling, and reports no new clinical results.

Hirsute women with ovarian-sourced hirsutism are more likely to have irregular periods, with higher BMI and altered hormone ratios.

This study found that women with pilonidal sinus disease had significantly higher prolactin levels compared to women without the disease, suggesting a possible link to its development.

This study highlights the distinct distribution patterns of extracellular matrix components in the scalp skin of male and female androgenetic alopecia patients, with increased elastin staining intensity observed in male cases.

This correspondence highlights a study on early pubertal development in young girls, noting that early pubic hair and breast development in African-American girls is likely due to increased androgen production, not estrogen or exogenous causes.

This review highlights surprising similarities between hair follicles and antler units, suggesting that a comparative study of their biology could benefit understanding in both areas without presenting new empirical findings.

This study found that neonatal blocking of androgen and estrogen pathways in rats altered sex-specific expression of estrogen and androgen receptors in adult pituitary and adrenal glands, potentially influencing lifelong neuroendocrine function.

This article introduces an online quiz by the Journal of Investigative Dermatology, connecting its questions to findings from a specific JID article, and it reports no new results.

This review discusses how hair and nail manifestations can indicate systemic diseases, emphasizing the importance of these appendageal clues in physical diagnosis, but reports no new findings.

This study identified polycystic ovarian syndrome as the most common cause of hirsutism among patients and found a positive correlation between hirsutism severity and free testosterone levels.

This article reviews Miriam Arbeit's skill-based model for promoting adolescent sexual development, highlighting its focus on adolescents as active participants in their own sexual growth but noting areas for further expansion.

In this study, subclinical hypothyroidism in women with PCOS was linked to changes in the thyroid-prolactin axis and a lack of correlation between TSH and AMH, while gonadotropin levels and ovarian morphology remained unaffected, indicating the need for further prospective research.

In this study conducted at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, researchers reported that males with androgenetic alopecia had significantly higher levels of serum LH, prolactin, testosterone, DHEA-S, and free androgen index, and lower levels of serum FSH and SHBG compared to those without hair loss.

In this study, researchers observed that male COVID-19 patients with more than 23 CAG repeats in the androgen receptor gene and lower testosterone levels experienced more severe disease outcomes.

This review discusses the role of androgens in women's skin-related conditions like acne, hirsutism, and female pattern hair loss, noting the lack of dermatology guidelines for when to pursue endocrinologic evaluation.

This review discusses the effects of cross-sex hormone treatments on metabolic functions in transgender individuals and reports no new clinical results; it highlights potential insights into the role of sex steroids in diseases like cardiovascular disease and diabetes.

This study observed two distinct phenotypes among North Indian women with PCOS: obese hyperinsulinaemic dysglycemic women from Delhi and lean hyperandrogenic women from Srinagar, despite being in the same region.

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.

In this review, researchers highlighted that natural polyphenolics like flavonoids and resveratrol may help enhance testosterone production in aging males by boosting the expression of the Star gene in Leydig cells, potentially preventing age-related degenerative conditions linked to testosterone insufficiency.

In this review, the researchers reported that 5α-reductase inhibitors demonstrated neuroprotective effects and reduced dyskinesias in animal models of Parkinson's disease, suggesting their potential for repurposing to manage symptoms in men with PD.

This study found that the prevalence of PCOS among adolescent and young girls in India was 7.21%, with dysmenorrhea and acne being common symptoms.

This study found that women with post-adolescent acne experience marked menstrual irregularities, polycystic ovaries, androgenetic alopecia, hirsutism, and metabolic syndrome, but insulin resistance and dyslipidemia may not significantly contribute to their acne's pathogenesis.

This study suggests that measuring hair DHEA and testosterone can reliably reflect long-term average hormone levels in women, overcoming daily and menstrual fluctuations seen in salivary hormone assessments.

This study found that in HIV-infected men, erectile dysfunction was influenced by the duration of HIV infection but not associated with serum testosterone or HAART therapy.
