This study found that women with polycystic ovary syndrome have more pronounced metabolic alterations and higher androgen levels compared to women with eumenorrheic hyperandrogenism, suggesting EuHyperA may be a milder form of PCOS.

This study found that generalized anxiety disorder symptoms predicted higher emotional distress and hair cortisol concentration, with dominance unexpectedly increasing the impact of anxiety on hair cortisol.

This study reported that relocation in police horses was associated with elevated hair cortisol concentrations, possibly suggesting altered welfare due to changed surroundings, and that seasonal variations affected both cortisol levels and hair growth.

In this case study, drospirenone use masked the diagnosis of a rare form of congenital adrenal hyperplasia, suggesting a possible delay in detecting underlying endocrinopathies.

This case report highlighted a rare instance of Cushing's syndrome caused by ectopic ACTH from cervical cancer, demonstrating diagnostic challenges, treatment complexity, and high risks of morbidity and mortality, with less than 10 cases documented overall.

This review discusses recent advancements in congenital adrenal hyperplasia research, including improved diagnostic techniques, alternative treatments, and insights from long-term outcome data, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study explains that congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency presents as a continuous phenotype and involves symptoms ranging from virilization to accelerated growth in children, with diagnosis relying on clinical, biochemical, and genetic evaluation.

This case report describes a 10-year-old Shih Tzu diagnosed with hyperadrenocorticism, leading to the management of skin issues which initially improved but was followed by neurological symptoms, prompting euthanasia.

This case report highlights the challenge of differentiating between non-classical adrenal hyperplasia and steroid cell tumors of the ovary in a patient presenting with hyperandrogenism.

This case report emphasizes the importance of recognizing non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia as a cause of hyperandrogenism and the need for genetic counseling given potential familial implications.

This study identified hypogonadism in 65% of men with Cushing syndrome, suggesting glucocorticoid excess may affect the hypothalamic-pituitary level or testosterone metabolism.

This review discusses the use of hair cortisol concentration as a marker for chronic stress and long-term cortisol secretion in animals, highlighting its benefits and the need for standardized sampling protocols.

Hair cortisol measurement is a promising, non-invasive tool for monitoring cortisol exposure over time.

This study describes the first case of female pseudohermaphroditism due to a novel homozygous glucocorticoid receptor gene mutation, indicating possible pre- and postnatal virilization in affected females.

This study found that mutant glucocorticoid receptors have defective transcriptional activity and dynamic motility issues in the nucleus, likely due to impaired interactions with nuclear molecules necessary for gene activation.

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 study, researchers found a significant positive association between cortisol levels in hair and feces of domestic cats and dogs, suggesting hair cortisol assays could be a viable option for monitoring chronic stress.

This study found that parents identified with cryptic NCCAH through genetic testing are mostly asymptomatic but may experience temporary female infertility and require glucocorticoid stress coverage in specific circumstances.

This case report details a 7-year-old Shih Tzu with pituitary-dependent hyperadrenocorticism, where initial trilostane treatment did not improve skin conditions, necessitating a dosage increase.

This study of a Yorkshire dog with chronic dermatological alterations highlights the diagnostic importance of combining complementary laboratory tests like histopathology and serum biochemistry with clinical examination.

This study observed that Parkinson’s disease patients had higher hair cortisone, but not cortisol, levels compared to controls, and cortisone was significantly associated with mood-related non-motor symptoms.

This case report describes a 63-year-old woman with hyperandrogenism due to an ectopic adrenal gland adenoma on the ovaries, successfully treated with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy.

This study observed that cortisol concentrations in hair, indicating prolonged stress, are correlated between mothers and young children, suggesting potential heritable traits or maternal influence.

This study found significantly higher hair cortisol concentrations in black children compared to white children aged 1-4 years, suggesting racial differences in cumulative stress as measured by hair cortisol.

This review discusses the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of congenital adrenal hyperplasia, but reports no new research results.

This article discusses hyperandrogenism, including its symptoms, causes, and diagnostic approaches, and reports no new clinical results; it emphasizes the role of interdisciplinary care in treatment.

This case study describes an extremely rare instance of androgen-secreting adrenocortical carcinoma in a patient with non-classical congenital adrenal hyperplasia.

Higher pre-pregnancy BMI is linked to more stress in mothers and more behavioral problems in two-year-old children.

Alopecia areata may involve stress-related changes affecting hormone receptors, leading to reduced cortisol production.
