Hormonal contraceptives and related compounds can increase health risks like thrombosis and affect sexual function.

This review discusses recent advancements in understanding neuroendocrine regulation of keratin biology and highlights the potential of neurohormones to treat skin disorders, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study found that combining a GnRH agonist with a low-dose oral contraceptive was more effective in treating hirsutism than either agent alone and prevented hypoestrogenic side effects.

Alopecia areata may involve stress-related changes affecting hormone receptors, leading to reduced cortisol production.

This study found that curcumin lowered fasting blood sugar levels and improved menstruation characteristics in women with polycystic ovary syndrome, but it did not affect other metabolic, hormonal, or hirsutism indices.

Different drugs are used to manage breeding, prevent or end pregnancy, and treat reproductive issues in dogs and cats.

This study found that allopregnanolone has a bimodal effect on prolactin secretion in sheep, stimulating PRL mRNA expression but inhibiting hormone release under stress and pregnancy conditions.

This review discusses how neuroendocrine pathways influence keratin regulation in human skin and hair follicles and suggests these pathways as potential targets for new treatments of skin disorders, but reports no clinical results.

This study found that the vitamin D receptor, but not its ligand, regulates genes involved in hair cycle progression, suggesting a role in integrating hormone signaling pathways for hair and epidermal functions.

In this study, pioglitazone treatment in insulin-resistant PCOS patients decreased relative 5alpha-reductase activity without significantly affecting cortisol levels or urinary cortisol excretion.

This presentation reviews recent discoveries about signaling mechanisms in hair follicles and their potential influence on hair cycle control and melanogenesis, without presenting new experimental results.

In this study, a very-low-calorie diet led to greater weight loss and improvements in hyperandrogenaemia and metabolic markers in obese women with polycystic ovary syndrome compared to a moderate energy deficit approach over eight weeks.

This review covers various aspects of hair biology, pigmentation, and development, focusing on genetic and biochemical modulation of hair follicle components but reports no new findings.

This article discusses the role of suction-assisted lipectomy (SAL) and the hCG method in obesity management, highlighting the speculative benefits of hCG but reporting no new clinical findings.

In this case-control study, individuals with alopecia areata showed significantly elevated levels of inflammatory markers IL-4, IFN-γ, and CRP, as well as reduced serum Folate and Ferritin, suggesting the condition's multifactorial pathophysiology involves immune activation, systemic inflammation, and micronutrient deficiencies.

This study highlights that polycystic ovary syndrome develops through genetic and environmental factors, with insulin resistance as a key mechanism, impacting the risk of metabolic and cardiovascular conditions.

In this randomized controlled clinical study, researchers found that Neem and Zanjabeel treatment was as effective as standard hormonal therapy in reducing hirsutism and improving biochemical and hormonal parameters in women with polycystic ovarian disease, while also significantly lowering fasting insulin and lipid levels.

This thesis explores both environmental and genetic factors in prostate cancer, focusing on surrogate hormone markers, medical radiation, family history, and genetic polymorphisms related to DNA repair and hormone marker genes, but reports no new clinical findings.

In this study, daughters of women with PCOS and control daughters showed no significant differences in metabolic and hormonal parameters, but more PCOS daughters exhibited hirsutism at advanced pubertal stages.

This study found that blocking neurosteroid synthesis in pregnant sheep increased HPA axis activity, particularly under stress, suggesting neurosteroids help modulate stress response.

In this study, early-onset androgenetic alopecia in men was associated with a higher prevalence of metabolic syndrome and carotid atherosclerosis compared to controls, suggesting cardiovascular screening might be beneficial for this group.

This study found that alcohol dependence is associated with altered HPA axis functioning, with AD patients showing higher hair cortisol concentrations and reduced ACTH and cortisol levels, irrespective of childhood maltreatment history.

This article discusses laboratory and physical markers that may help detect androgenic anabolic steroid abuse in athletes and reports no new primary research results.

This study suggests that perforin/granzyme-B might play a role in the interaction of sex hormones in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome.

This study found that reduced plasma DIAPH1 levels were associated with polycystic ovary syndrome, suggesting DIAPH1 as a potential predictive factor for the condition.

This study found that females treated with atypical anti-psychotics had a higher prevalence of probable polycystic ovarian syndrome compared to normal controls.

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.

In this study, spearmint tea significantly reduced testosterone levels and improved self-reported hirsutism in women with PCOS, but did not change objective hair growth scores over the short trial period.

In this study, PCOS patients had lower Spexin levels, which were inversely associated with adverse metabolic and hormonal profiles, suggesting a role for Spexin in PCOS pathways.

This study suggests that red deer stags provide a novel model for investigating hormonal regulation of hair growth due to the different cell growth rates in hair follicles during breeding and nonbreeding seasons.
