This article reviews the hormonal pathogenesis of acne vulgaris and androgenetic alopecia, emphasizing various hormonal factors beyond androgens, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that men with early androgenetic alopecia had higher levels of free testosterone, DHEAS, and LH, along with insulin resistance and higher homocysteine levels, suggesting they share risk profiles similar to PCOS in women.

This study examined a case of postmenopausal virilization in a woman and found that despite normal imaging, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy revealed rare ovarian Leydig cell and Brenner tumors as the source of hyperandrogenism, with symptoms resolving post-surgery.

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

This article discusses the complex pathogenesis of hirsutism and reports no new clinical results; further research is needed for better diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.

This case report highlights Leydig cell hyperplasia as a rare cause of increased testosterone and postmenopausal hirsutism, resolved after bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy in a 64-year-old woman.

This case report describes a 48-year-old woman with a history of PCOS and chemotherapy-induced menopause who was found to have a rare ovarian steroid cell tumor causing postmenopausal hyperandrogenism.

In this case study, researchers reported a 61-year-old postmenopausal woman with virilizing symptoms like hirsutism and voice deepening was found to have an androgen-secreting adrenal tumor, emphasizing the importance of considering this diagnosis in similar cases.

This study found significant hormonal differences, including elevated cortisol and androstenedione levels, in both male and female androgenic hair loss patients compared to controls, suggesting complex hormonal interactions in the condition.

This case report describes a woman with hyperandrogenism and menstrual disturbances, where an ovarian steroid cell tumor was identified and removed, leading to resolution of symptoms.

This article discusses the complexities of diagnosing hyperandrogenism in women and reviews potential treatments, such as antiandrogens and finasteride, but reports no new clinical findings.

This case study discussed a postmenopausal female with androgenic alopecia and hirsutism due to a Leydig cell tumor, suggesting the importance of further workup in women with severe hirsutism or androgenic alopecia.

This article outlines the clinical features, evaluation, and treatment strategies for androgen excess in polycystic ovary syndrome, highlighting important diagnostic and management approaches but reporting no new research results.

This case study reported that even with improved adrenal androgens and testosterone levels, treating women with AH-PCOS with glucocorticoids did not significantly improve ovulatory function or hirsutism.

Androgens like testosterone affect skin health and can lead to conditions such as acne and hair loss, with various treatments available.

This case report describes a girl with familial adenomatous polyposis who exhibited heterosexual precocious puberty due to an adrenal tumor secreting cortisol and androgens; after her adrenalectomy, her hormone levels normalized and symptoms improved, illustrating the link between genetic syndromes and endocrine disorders.

In this case review, researchers describe a 17-year-old transgender male experiencing clitoromegaly, hirsutism, and oligomenorrhea, investigating conditions like PCOS and non-prescription testosterone use for gender affirmation, and highlighting the importance of gender-affirming care to improve mental health outcomes.

This article reviews the differential diagnosis of mild hyperandrogenism in adolescent girls, discussing potential causes such as PCOS and nonclassic adrenal hyperplasia, but presents no new data.

This case report describes a woman with virilization syndrome who experienced a reduction in androgen levels and reversal of alopecia after removal of a Leydig cell tumor from her ovary.

In this article, the authors detail approaches for diagnosing and managing hyperandrogenism in young women, focusing on conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome and hirsutism, and highlight the importance of differentiating physiological from pathological causes to guide appropriate treatment strategies, often involving combined oral contraceptives.

This article provides diagnosis and treatment guidelines for hyperandrogenic disorders in women but reports no new clinical results; it offers a summary of accepted scientific information and suggestions for clinical practice.

This study found that hirsutism and acne are strong predictors of biochemical hyperandrogenism in women with polycystic ovary syndrome.

This case report identified ovarian hyperthecosis as the cause of recent-onset androgenic symptoms in a 73-year-old woman, which was confirmed by ovary removal and led to symptom improvement.

This article outlines a diagnostic and therapeutic strategy for female functional androgenization, detailed by guidelines and lifestyle recommendations, but reports no new clinical results.

This case study describes a rare instance of virilization during pregnancy in a woman with PCOS, with symptoms resolving post-delivery as testosterone levels normalized.

This study found that in women with PCOS, insulin resistance is closely associated with hyperandrogenism, indicating it may independently predict increased androgen levels.

This article reviews assessment and management strategies for adolescent females with excessive hair growth and highlights the importance of evaluating potential androgen sources.

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.
