This review discusses the molecular mechanisms of androgen action in human hair follicles and reports no new findings; the authors emphasize the need for further research to improve treatments for hair disorders.

In this study, elevated serum levels of aldosterone and free testosterone, along with increased androgen and aldosterone receptor levels, were associated with early-onset androgenetic alopecia in female patients.

In a survey of dermatologists, 88% reported an increase in male androgenetic alopecia incidence among men under 30, suggesting possible social or environmental influences on genetic risk factors.

This article reviews the causes and management of hirsutism, reports no new results, and emphasizes that prolonged pharmaceutical treatment is necessary for improvement.

This article discusses the causes and consequences of hyperestrogenism in men of reproductive age and emphasizes the need for proper hormonal testing and treatment, reporting no new clinical findings.

The study found that various antiandrogen regimens significantly reduced acne severity in hyperandrogenic women, with finasteride being less effective than others.

This study concluded that a regimen of transdermal estradiol and oral medroxyprogesterone acetate effectively reduces hirsutism while minimizing side effects in women with polycystic ovary syndrome.

A rare pancreatic tumor caused a woman's male-like features, treated successfully with surgery and medication.

This study found that glioblastoma cells express key enzymes involved in androgen synthesis, suggesting these enzymes might be potential targets for new therapeutic strategies.

This case describes a 14-year-old girl whose symptoms of hirsutism and virilization were attributed to an ovarian Sertoli-Leydig tumor, with improvement following surgical removal.

This study found that men with vertex type androgenetic alopecia had higher triglyceride levels and lower HDL cholesterol levels compared to those with normal hair, suggesting it may be a marker of hyperlipidemia.

The authors concluded that while increased androgens in men may link androgenetic alopecia with severe COVID-19, further research on a larger population is needed to verify this association.

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

Men with early balding may have hormonal imbalances similar to women with PCOS and could benefit from similar treatments.

Early hair loss in men could be a sign of non-cancerous prostate enlargement, and treating hair loss early might help prevent prostate issues later.

In this case report, an embryonal cell carcinoma of the testicle was associated with polycythemia and markedly elevated hormone levels without secondary sexual characteristics, which were restored after treatment.

This case report details a functioning adrenocortical oncocytoma in a 3-year-old girl with hirsutism and virilization, highlighting its rarity in childhood and including a literature review without new clinical data.

This study found that prostate cancer aggressiveness in men with obesity is associated with changes in age, BMI, testosterone, and estradiol levels, and that adipocyte-secreted molecules increase cancer cell aggressiveness in vitro.

In this case study, laparoscopic bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy was associated with reduced androgen levels and partial reversal of male-pattern hair loss in a postmenopausal woman with ovarian hyperandrogenism.

In this study, idiopathic hirsutism was identified as the most common cause of hirsutism among the patients, followed by polycystic ovarian syndrome.

This review discusses strategies for managing dermatological symptoms of hyperandrogenism in PCOS by reducing androgen levels and actions, and reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the production, role, and measurement of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in various disorders of sexual development but does not report new clinical results.

This review discusses the pathways of androgen biosynthesis and reports no new findings, highlighting the need to understand the interplay between the classic and backdoor pathways.

This study suggests that a larger prostate is associated with a higher prevalence of androgenetic alopecia, although the prostate size did not correlate with alopecia severity.

This study found that approximately 26% of women with Type 1 diabetes have undiagnosed androgen disorders, with polycystic ovary syndrome being the most common, particularly in those with premenarcheal onset of diabetes.

This study concluded that anabolic-androgenic steroids negatively impact male reproductive health, including reduced testosterone production, impaired sperm production, and increased risk of sexual dysfunction and metabolic issues.

This study found that in women with polycystic ovary syndrome, shorter CAG repeat lengths in the androgen receptor gene were associated with lower dihydrotestosterone and androstenedione levels, but a higher prevalence of acne and hirsutism.

This review examines the methods and challenges in androgen laboratory diagnostics, discussing their advantages, limitations, and evolution; it presents no new experimental results.

This study found that androgenic alopecia is present in 22% of women with polycystic ovary syndrome and is associated with acne and hirsutism, but not with increased biochemical hyperandrogenemia or metabolic dysfunction beyond PCOS.

Androgens affect behavior, hair, bones, muscles, and the heart, and can be used to treat certain conditions.
