This case report highlighted rapid virilization in a woman with adrenocortical carcinoma, stressing the importance of androgen evaluation to suspect underlying ovarian or adrenal tumors.

This study found that patients with androgenetic alopecia had a higher incidence of metabolic syndrome and benign prostatic hyperplasia compared to those without the condition.

This study found that in female dogs, exposure to free fatty acids increased androgen production, suggesting a potential link to factors characteristic of polycystic ovary syndrome.

Antiandrogens can treat excess body hair and hair loss by blocking male hormones.

Antiandrogen therapy may be beneficial for women with hidradenitis suppurativa.

In this study, examination of skin biopsies from individuals using anabolic-androgenic steroids revealed significant enlargement of sebaceous glands and associated increases in skin lipids and Propionibacteria acnes.

This study suggests that androgens enhance growth factor production in dermal fibroblasts, which in turn may alter keratinocyte differentiation and contribute to acne lesion formation.

This review explores androgen metabolism in the skin, highlighting enzyme localization and potential implications for treating androgen-dependent skin conditions, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study found that 11-oxygenated androgens were higher in women with PCOS compared to those with idiopathic hirsutism, with no difference from controls, and higher Bisphenol A levels in obese women with PCOS may worsen metabolic issues.

This study suggests that in women with androgenic alopecia and men with premature balding, enhanced 5α-reductase activity and altered androgen conjugation, favoring sulfurylation, may be involved in scalp hair loss.

In this case report, treatment with corticosteroids improved both clinical symptoms and hormonal imbalances in a 27-year-old woman diagnosed with non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia.

This study found that late adolescent and young women with clinical hyperandrogenism, including PCOS, experienced higher psychological distress and impaired well-being compared to their healthy peers.

Acne and hair loss are not good indicators of hormone imbalance in PCOS, but excessive body hair is.

This study found that while 11-oxyandrogens are linked to excess hair growth, they do not aid in diagnosing PCOS and require further research to determine their clinical utility.

In this study of women with PCOS, hirsutism strongly correlated with metabolic abnormalities, while acne and androgenic alopecia were not clear markers of biochemical hyperandrogenemia or metabolic dysfunction.

This case report describes a unique instance where elevated prolactin levels from a pituitary adenoma were associated with hirsutism due to increased dihydrotestosterone, with treatment leading to normalization.

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

This review discusses hirsutism in women with PCOS who present with normal androgen levels and highlights diagnostic challenges, reporting no new clinical findings.

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 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 caucasian subjects had higher serum levels of 5 alpha-reduced androgen metabolites compared to Chinese subjects, suggesting racial differences in 5 alpha-reductase activity and a potential mechanism for increased body hair in caucasian men.

This article provides citations without reporting new findings on androgen conjugate levels in alopecia.

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.

This study developed a detailed classification system for functional androgenization in females that may enhance diagnosis and personalized treatment by identifying individual dysfunctions.

In this review, the authors aim to improve the differential diagnosis between hyperandrogenic PCOS and NCAH, which could lead to more personalized treatment strategies for patients experiencing hyperandrogenism.

This article discusses various causes and treatment options for hirsutism in women, highlighting the effectiveness of cyproterone acetate and the importance of weight reduction, without presenting new research findings.

Androgens reduce THY1 in skin cells, leading to less fat, more fibrosis, and worse healing in males.

This study reports that in a case of benign Brenner tumor, elevated androgens may originate from luteinized stromal cells, as these cells do not convert androgen to estrogen due to suppressed aromatase biosynthesis.

This study describes a family with X-linked gynecomastia and undervirilization in men, finding a subtle androgen receptor abnormality that may not always lead to infertility despite androgen resistance.

In this case study, researchers observed that steroidogenesis from adrenal androgens in prostate cancer tissues may explain progression in a 74-year-old man with low circulating testosterone.
