This study observed that androgen levels rise with pubic hair development in Tanner stages, differing by sex and age, with DHEA showing a significant prepubertal increase especially in precocious adrenarche.

Hormones, especially androgens, affect hair growth and can cause hair loss or excess hair in both men and women.

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

This study found that hyperandrogenemia in Chinese women with PCOS is associated with higher risks of type 2 diabetes and obesity, suggesting it should be prioritized in managing PCOS-related infertility.

This study found that serum androgen levels were associated with the severity of hirsutism in women, with significantly higher levels observed in those with moderate to severe hair growth.

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 study suggests that some men with premature androgenic alopecia may have hormonal profiles similar to women with polycystic ovary syndrome, potentially indicating a male equivalent of the condition.

This article reviews androgenic disorders in women, such as PCOS, highlighting how understanding these conditions could improve their management, but it presents no new clinical findings.

This case study reported a unique instance of a benign adrenal adenoma co-secreting cortisol and DHEA-S, which initially mimicked PCOS symptoms. Surgical removal resulted in significant clinical improvement, confirming the diagnosis of cyclic adrenal Cushing's syndrome.

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

In this study, hirsutism in women with PCOS was strongly associated with hyperandrogenism and metabolic abnormalities, while acne and androgenic alopecia were not effective markers for hyperandrogenism.

This article discusses primary cutaneous virilism, focusing on alopecia in women with androgen-dependent skin conditions, and reports no new findings.

This study found that the severity of female pattern hair loss in premenopausal women was associated with clinical signs of hyperandrogenism, such as hirsutism and acne, but not with biochemical parameters.

This study highlights the global prevalence of hirsutism in women and reviews its diagnostic criteria, potential underlying causes like polycystic ovary syndrome, and treatment options, emphasizing the need for tailored, multifaceted management and acknowledging the distress it causes patients.

This case report describes a 57-year-old woman with hirsutism, hair loss, and vocal changes, who was found to have elevated testosterone levels but normal dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate levels.

This review discusses the relationship between insulin regulation and hyperandrogenemia in polycystic ovary syndrome, suggesting potential benefits of insulin-lowering treatments for ovarian function but reporting no definitive results for hair-related symptoms.

This case report describes a testosterone- and cortisol-secreting adrenocortical oncocytoma causing hirsutism in a 23-year-old woman, highlighting adrenal oncocytomas as an important consideration for differential diagnosis.

This study observed that adult female acne may be associated with hyperandrogenic features and polycystic ovary syndrome, though routine hormonal tests often do not show abnormalities other than PCOS.

This case report describes a 58-year-old woman whose virilization symptoms were linked to a steroid tumor of the ovary, emphasizing the importance of prompt diagnosis and treatment to improve her quality of life.

This study found no significant relationship between hormone levels and sexual function in young women with hirsutism compared to a control group.

This study found that despite androgen excess and genitourinary masculinization, adult women with congenital adrenal hyperplasia did not exhibit notable prostatic growth.

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 evaluates the hormonal, metabolic, and clinical aspects of a male equivalent PCOS syndrome in men and highlights areas where further research is needed, reporting no new empirical findings.

This case study reports that in an 8-year-old male, a pituitary adenoma causing isolated high LH secretion led to early testosterone-driven puberty without typical testicular enlargement, highlighting the differential roles of LH and FSH in pubertal development.

In this case report, researchers described a postmenopausal woman with virilization symptoms who was diagnosed with a Leydig cell tumor in her ovary, and symptoms improved following tumor removal. The authors highlighted the diagnostic challenge of differentiating such cases from age-related hormonal changes.

In this case report, the authors describe the diagnosis and management of a rare case of hyperandrogenism in a postmenopausal woman, attributed to coexisting ovarian Leydig cell and Brenner tumors, with improvement in symptoms following bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy.

This article reviews the causes and treatments of hypertrichosis and hirsutism and reports no new clinical findings; the authors compare diagnostic strategies and discuss available treatment options.

This case report presents a rare instance of an ovarian steroid cell tumor in a 68-year-old female with virilism, which normalized androgen levels following surgical removal.

This study found that idiopathic hirsutism was the most common cause of hirsutism among patients, and insulin resistance was significant in those with Hyperandrogenic Insulin Resistant Acanthosis Nigricans Syndrome.

This article outlines common and serious causes of excessive body hair in women, noting that benign conditions like polycystic ovarian syndrome are treatable, while dangerous causes require swift medical attention; it reports no new results.
