This article reviews the characteristics and classification of SAHA syndrome and its relationship with other conditions, without presenting new clinical findings.

This review discusses the use of spironolactone for common skin diseases like acne and its potential role in daily clinical practice but presents no new clinical results.

This study found that normal ALT levels in women of reproductive age are linked with metabolic and androgenic abnormalities, suggesting ALT could be used beyond liver disease diagnoses.

In this case study, authors reported that a 43-year-old female patient initially showed persistently high testosterone levels due to immunoassay interference, later verified as normal using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), highlighting the need to consider assay artifacts in diagnosing hyperandrogenism without clinical signs.

This study found that in pregnant rats, the suppression of ACTH responses to IL-1β is linked to the action of endogenous opioids and AP, with AP potentially inducing opioid inhibition through increased pENK-A expression.

This abstract reviews the use of spironolactone as a treatment for hormonal acne, female pattern hair loss, and hirsutism due to its antiandrogenic properties and favorable side effect profile, highlighting its value in dermatological therapies.

In this case study, a postmenopausal woman with symptoms of virilization was diagnosed with a rare ovarian Leydig cell tumor, and surgical removal led to a resolution of her hyperandrogenism and related symptoms, highlighting the importance of thorough differential diagnosis in postmenopausal hyperandrogenism.

This case report describes a 20-month-old female with a rare adrenocortical virilizing tumor, successfully treated with surgery, showing no pathological lesions over a 10-year follow-up.

This study reported that in rat retinas under high pressure, allopregnanolone synthesis increased and helped reduce pressure-induced damage through GABAA receptors, suggesting potential therapeutic use in glaucoma.

This case report describes a rare occurrence of giant bilateral adrenal myelolipomas in a 28-year-old female with CAH, emphasizing that large, hormonally active, or painful myelolipomas should be surgically removed.

This review discusses the manifestations of non-classical congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency across different life stages, but reports no new findings.

Men with baldness have higher levels of specific proteins, suggesting local hormone production may play a role in hair loss.

This study suggests that lisinopril's cardiometabolic effects are weaker in men with early-onset male-pattern baldness compared to those with normal hair growth.

Kidney stones and hair loss are significantly related in people under 60 years old.

This case report details a 7-year-old Shih Tzu with pituitary-dependent hyperadrenocorticism, where initial trilostane treatment did not improve skin conditions, necessitating a dosage increase.

This report describes two cases of postmenopausal hyperandrogenism where GnRH analogue use suggested an ovarian source of excess androgens, leading to a diagnosis of benign ovarian tumors.

This review explores the role of hyperandrogenism, including adrenal-derived 11-oxygenated androgen, in the development of polycystic ovarian syndrome and discusses potential therapeutic strategies targeting androgen excess, without reporting new clinical results.

In this case study, a 68-year-old woman with hyperandrogenism and presumed ovarian origin responded well to GnRH agonist therapy, normalizing testosterone levels and stabilizing blood pressure, suggesting its effectiveness as a non-surgical treatment option.

This case report describes a 36-year-old Pakistani phenotypic female diagnosed with 46,XY 5-alpha-reductase deficiency, highlighting that such disorders of sexual development can manifest with symptoms like obesity, hirsutism, and amenorrhea later in life due to unique circumstances.

This study reports a case of an ovarian steroid cell tumor with malignant potential, presenting unusually with osteopenia and low weight instead of the expected virilizing symptoms.

This review discusses alternative androgen pathways, including the "backdoor" pathway and pathways to 11-oxygenated steroids, and reports no new clinical results; the authors aim to clarify these concepts for better patient treatment.

This study describes a functional disorder in the ovary, known as stromal hyperplasia, characterized by the proliferation of ovarian stroma and luteinization of stromal cells, which is linked to excessive androgen production and elevated testosterone levels.

This case report describes a postmenopausal woman with hirsutism and androgenetic alopecia, where imaging ruled out malignancy and selective venous sampling indicated increased testosterone from the right adrenal vein, leading to a recommendation for right adrenalectomy and oophorectomy.

This study found that women with androgenic alopecia often have increased dihydrotestosterone levels, suggesting potentially enhanced activity of 5-alpha-reductase, with the saliva free testosterone level providing valuable hormonal background information.

This study found that patients with alopecia areata had significantly higher serum T3 and cortisol levels compared to healthy controls, although both remained within normal ranges, highlighting potential hormonal involvement in the condition. However, no significant differences were observed in T4 and TSH levels.

This study found that a basal 17-hydroxyprogesterone level is effective for screening nonclassic adrenal hyperplasia in women, with a 4 ng/mL cutoff providing high specificity and positive predictive value.

This study discusses the potential of targeting 11β-HSD1 for treating metabolic syndrome and highlights emerging promising data from human trials on selective 11β-HSD1 inhibitors.

This review discusses the role of neuro(active)steroids, particularly those in the 5α reductase pathway, in modulating dopamine signaling and their impact on neuropsychiatric disorders characterized by dopamine imbalances, including addiction, schizophrenia, and Parkinson's Disease.

This case report identifies a 32-year-old woman with undiagnosed PHPT-1a who exhibited complete pseudo-anodontia and persistent patchy alopecia areata, suggesting these may be new nonclassical features of a GNAS pathogenic variant.
