This case series observed that ovarian hyperthecosis can manifest with hyperandrogenism and insulin resistance in postmenopausal women, even when serum testosterone levels are below diagnostic thresholds, suggesting potential gaps in current diagnostic criteria.

Blood AMH levels are higher in women with PCOS than in those with other similar conditions.

The study found that women with hyperandrogenic PCOS have higher levels of AKT1 and AKT2 proteins in their cells, which may lead to cell dysfunction.

In this study, a significant positive correlation between clinical hyperandrogenism and free androgen index was found in younger women with PCOS, but not in older women.

This study measured plasma testosterone glucosiduronate levels and found no overlap in those with hyperandrogenism compared to normal females, despite normal testosterone and dihydrotestosterone levels in half of the affected patients.

This review discusses the causes, evaluation, and treatment options for hirsutism in women, but reports no new clinical results.

This case study from Boston University details a 35-year-old woman diagnosed with congenital adrenal hyperplasia, treated with dexamethasone, leading to normalized androgen levels and successful conception.

An 81-year-old woman's severe male hormone symptoms were caused by an ovarian tumor, which was treated with surgery.

This study estimates the prevalence of hyperandrogenic states in late adolescent and young females, revealing that these disorders often begin at a young age.

In this case study, a 55-year-old woman with androgenetic alopecia was ultimately diagnosed with hepatic cortisone reductase deficiency after initially suspected 21-hydroxylase deficiency was ruled out.

A postmenopausal woman's masculine symptoms improved after surgery for a hormone-producing ovarian tumor.

This research found that androgen bioactivity plays a role in normal female sexual differentiation, suggesting females develop within a significant androgenic environment, with implications for understanding conditions like congenital adrenal hyperplasia.

This case report is the first to associate HAIR-AN syndrome with polycystic ovaries, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, and several metabolic conditions in a 21-year-old woman, emphasizing early diagnosis and management.

In this study, hyperandrogenemia was observed in 78.2% of Greek women with polycystic ovary syndrome, with testosterone being the most commonly elevated androgen and acne the most frequent clinical feature.

This review discusses the roles of androgens and androgen receptor in skin diseases like acne and hirsutism, and highlights the promise of antiandrogen drugs, reporting no new clinical findings.

The GH-IGF-I axis is likely involved in the hormonal imbalances seen in non-obese women with functional hyperandrogenism.

In this study, hormonal abnormalities were detected in all investigated hirsute Saudi women, with elevated major androgens in 85.9% and polycystic ovaries in 59% of cases.

This case study highlights a testosterone- and cortisol-secreting adrenal oncocytic neoplasm in an 18-year-old woman, illustrating the role of surgical excision in resolving hyperandrogenism and restoring menstruation.

Women's ovarian hormones and adrenal androgens change throughout life, affecting hair loss and health.

In this case study, a 62-year-old woman with ovarian hyperthecosis experienced normalization of elevated testosterone levels and improvement in hirsutism and hair loss following bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy.

This study found that women with nonclassic congenital adrenal hyperplasia (NC-CAH) reported lower sexual function and higher sexual distress compared to those with classic CAH (C-CAH), particularly among those showing signs of androgen excess.

This study reported that patients with acanthosis nigricans and insulin resistance exhibited higher insulin levels and were associated with increased insulin resistance correlating with serum testosterone levels.

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 letter discusses androgenic signs and disorders in Greek female patients with acne and reports no new clinical findings.

This article reviews the diagnosis and management of hirsutism in women, discussing its causes, assessment, and treatment options; no new clinical findings are included.

This paper reviews the endocrinological aspects of hirsutism, focusing on the role of androgens in excessive hair growth and the related disorders, without presenting new findings.

This study observed that acne was strongly associated with higher BMI, alopecia, menstrual dysfunction, positive familial history, and overuse of sweet and fatty foods among dermatology patients.

This review discusses various aspects of hirsutism in women, including causes, hormonal influences, and treatment approaches, but reports no new findings.

This review discusses the histology of pilo-sebaceous follicles, androgen receptors, and various treatments for hirsutism and acne in women, but it reports no new clinical results.

In this study, women with androgenic alopecia showed increased excretion of steroid metabolites and heightened 5α-reductase activity, suggesting these may contribute to the condition's hormonal abnormalities.
