This study developed and validated a comprehensive method using mass spectrometry to profile sex (pro)hormones in plasma, with results showing reliable calibration and detection of 31 analytes in samples from pre- and postmenopausal women and men, while addressing potential over- or underestimations in analyte concentrations.

Researchers developed a method to detect hormone-blocking drugs in wastewater and found them in Beijing's sewage, suggesting they can survive sewage treatment.

This study reports that women with hair loss had significantly lower levels of several biomarkers, including hemoglobin, iron, copper, selenium, vitamin D, vitamin B12, folate, and thyroid hormones, compared to healthy controls.

This meta-analysis found that lower serum SHBG levels are associated with an increased risk of PCOS, and improving SHBG levels through treatment may reduce PCOS complications.

This study using high-performance liquid chromatography reported that mice with more diverse gut microbiota had higher levels of specific compounds in hair compared to those with less diversity, with stress affecting certain plasma levels.

This study found that menopausal status and hormone therapy significantly affect the histology and gene expression of the introitus, with post-menopausal women showing notable tissue remodeling associated with vaginal atrophy.

This study aims to evaluate the prevalence of androgenetic alopecia in transgender men undergoing testosterone therapy, noting that such hormone treatment can lead to dermatological issues that significantly affect their quality of life. Results are not reported in the abstract.

This study found that higher levels of dihydrotestosterone in the parietal region of the scalp may correlate with the clinical presentation of androgenetic alopecia.

This study suggests that decreased SHBG levels and increased FAI, free testosterone, and DHEAS concentrations are effective in diagnosing PCOS in epidemiological studies of women of reproductive age.

This study found that higher levels of cortisol (F) and cortisone (E) in hair before stroke onset were significantly associated with post-stroke depression and anxiety, suggesting they could serve as potential predictors for these mood disorders.

This meta-analysis found that while both Dienogest and GnRH analogues effectively managed endometriosis-related pain, Dienogest reduced recurrence rates and hot flushes but increased irregular bleeding, making it a safer option due to fewer side effects.

This study developed a method to measure local steroid hormone concentrations in hair, providing new insights into hormone dynamics associated with androgenetic alopecia.

This study developed a method to quantify hormones in skin secretions and found that hormonal composition varies by sex and anatomical site.

This study developed a validated method using UPLC-MS/MS to analyze 37 hormones in human hair, enabling broader hormonal profiling for identifying endocrine disorders.

This study suggests that sex hormone does not significantly impact the prevalence or clinical outcomes of COVID-19 in South Korean patients.

This study developed a new HPLC method for detecting prohibited substances like minoxidil and hydrocortisone in cosmetic products, achieving high sensitivity and successful application to real-world samples.

This study found no consistent differences between the posterior vertex and occipital region for hair hormone analysis, but noted significant variations in specific hormone concentrations, highlighting the need for standardized sampling practices.

This study found that hair cortisol levels were significantly higher in patients with Cushing's Syndrome compared to healthy controls, suggesting hair analysis can provide historical information on cortisol exposure.

This study found that the Random Forest machine learning algorithm achieved the highest accuracy, 96%, in diagnosing Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome using patients' clinical data.

In this study, ceruloplasmin and keratin 4 were identified as markers that differentiate between growing and resting phases in cashmere goat hair follicles, with keratin 4 being a potential marker for the onset of a new hair cycle.

This study of Liaoning cashmere goats identified nine keratin proteins as markers of the secondary hair follicle cycle, providing insights that may enhance cashmere quality and production.

This meta-analysis found that chromium supplementation was associated with decreased insulin resistance but increased testosterone levels in women with PCOS, with no significant benefits for other metabolic or hormonal indexes.

This article reports on a case where a 26-year-old woman with acromegaloidism was found to have X-tetrasomy, suggesting it should be considered in differential diagnoses due to its potential impact on growth-related genes.

This study observed that differences in the expression of genes related to lipid metabolism may play a major role in determining wool fiber diameter in sheep.

This study found that the most common skin disorders among perimenopausal Indian women were eczematous and urticaria, potentially linked to heightened sensitivity to environmental factors.

This analysis from Egyptian researchers identified common risk factors associated with chronic telogen effluvium in children, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study found that serum bone metabolic markers with mild changes are interdependently related to traditional Chinese medicine syndromes in patients with chronic kidney disease-related bone disorders.

In this survey-based study, researchers reported a high prevalence of hair loss among subjects in Delhi and the National Capital Region and noted widespread unawareness of its dietary, hormonal, genetic, and environmental causes.

This study found that Rex rabbits had significantly shorter fibre length and thinner fur compared to New Zealand White rabbits, and identified a gene-metabolite network that may influence fur quality and development.

Women with effluvium have higher levels of certain urinary steroids, possibly due to stress and increased adrenal activity.
