In this study, researchers observed that a significant number of women in Eket, Nigeria, have low testosterone levels, while a subset with high free testosterone may have polycystic ovary syndrome.

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.

In this study, females with hirsutism showed higher levels of certain androgens and reported more frequent symptoms such as infertility and increased skin greasiness compared to those without hirsutism.

This study found that canrenone significantly reduced hair growth and decreased certain androgen levels in women with idiopathic post-puberal hirsutism, suggesting potential effectiveness as a treatment.

This study found that women with polycystic ovary syndrome had deficient or suboptimal serum vitamin D levels, but the effects of vitamin D on metabolic syndrome and hormonal balance remain unclear.

This study found that among women with PCOS, 23% exhibited impaired glucose tolerance and 9% had type 2 diabetes, with age, BMI, and SHBG being key predictors of these glucose abnormalities.

This study found that in men, elevated androgen levels can occur at any age, with older men potentially exhibiting increased total testosterone due to higher levels of SHBG, and younger men showing various clinical manifestations like acne and alopecia.

This study observed that consuming flaxseeds significantly reduced serum free testosterone and improved insulin levels among young women with PCOS, suggesting a promising alternative to conventional treatments.

This study found that severity of female pattern hair loss in premenopausal women was related to other clinical signs of hyperandrogenism like hirsutism and acne, but not to biochemical measures of hyperandrogenism.

This study found that the free androgen index (FAI) is a superior marker of hyperandrogenism in men with premature androgenetic alopecia compared to DHEAS and testosterone levels.

This investigation found that certain supplements, particularly whey protein isolate, growth hormones, and anabolic steroids, can negatively impact hair loss by affecting biochemical pathways.

A woman's hyperandrogenism was caused by a genetic mutation leading to non-classic adrenogenital syndrome.

This article reviews the role of androgens and oral contraceptives in acne pathogenesis and management but presents no new clinical results.

This study found no significant differences in hormone levels between postmenopausal women with androgenetic alopecia and healthy controls, suggesting potential alternative causes for the condition.

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

In this study of women with polycystic ovary syndrome, 12 weeks of daily ginger supplementation significantly reduced total testosterone and improved menstrual irregularities compared to placebo, suggesting potential as a natural therapeutic approach, although larger studies are needed.

This review found that circulating dihydrotestosterone (DHT) consistently distinguishes men with androgenetic alopecia from controls, suggesting a key role in the condition's biology and potential therapeutic targeting.

The authors discussed the potential benefits of Urtica dioica and Serenoa repens for hair health, but emphasized that more concrete evidence and standardized formulations are necessary for reliable therapeutic use.

This review summarizes recent literature on using metformin to treat polycystic ovary syndrome, discussing its benefits and potential drawbacks, and reports no new clinical results.

This study found that women aged 21-26 with PCOS showed significant differences in biochemical and hormonal profiles, such as blood sugar and hormone levels, compared to healthy individuals, suggesting an increased incidence of PCOS in this age group.

This case study describes a rare instance of virilization during pregnancy in a woman with PCOS, with symptoms resolving post-delivery as testosterone levels normalized.

This study concluded that the Free Androgen Index (FAI) could serve as a reliable biomarker for hyperandrogenism in women with androgenetic alopecia, showing more predictive value than testosterone or SHBG alone.

This source highlights the essential role of androgens in women's health, noting their impact on various body systems and the critical need for more research on androgen therapies regarding side effects, patient selection, and laboratory standardization.

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.

This study found that insulin resistance is common among Pakistani women with PCOS and is independently associated with increased hyperandrogenism, as indicated by correlations with testosterone levels and other androgenic measures.

In this retrospective study from Jiangsu Province Hospital, researchers reported a high prevalence of pediatric androgenetic alopecia in patients under 18, often associated with hormonal imbalances and comorbid conditions, emphasizing the need for individualized treatment plans that prioritize addressing hormonal disorders and comorbidities.

This study found that NKB placental mRNA expression was higher in women with PCOS, particularly in pregnancies with female offspring, suggesting its involvement in PCOS-related placental dysfunction.

This study found that a single injection of autologous cell micrografts significantly improved hair condition in women with androgenetic alopecia six months post-treatment.

In this study, researchers found that NKB placental mRNA expression was higher in women with PCOS, particularly in pregnancies with female offspring, and that NKB expression varied with fetal gender, suggesting a role in PCOS-related placental dysfunction.

In this study, a low-glycemic index anti-inflammatory diet led to decreased testosterone levels, increased sex hormone-binding globulin, and improved well-being in overweight and obese women with hyperandrogenism, suggesting that diet and lifestyle changes can positively influence clinical symptoms.
