This review found that women with idiopathic hirsutism may have increased 5α-reductase activity, as indicated by elevated levels of a dihydrotestosterone-reduced metabolite, but more research is needed to confirm its clinical relevance as a biomarker.

This review discusses the role of androgens in menopausal women's health, highlighting symptoms of both hyperandrogenemia and androgen deficiency, but reports no clinical results.

This article is a discussion piece that examines the clinical symptoms of hyperandrogenic women with COVID-19, without reporting new research findings.

This study found that among Portuguese women with hirsutism, polycystic ovary syndrome was the most prevalent cause, associated with distinct hormonal features and higher BMI compared to controls.

This study observed that hyperandrogenism in men manifests with varying symptoms, where older men may have high total testosterone due to increased SHBG without elevated free testosterone, while younger men often show signs like acne and alopecia with elevated DHT or testosterone.

This article reviews the potential male equivalent of polycystic ovarian syndrome, focusing on hormonal alterations and premature androgenic alopecia, but reports no new clinical findings; the authors highlight the need for further studies on adrenal steroids and other factors.

This case report describes a postmenopausal woman with virilization and an ovarian steroid cell tumor, highlighting the rarity and diagnostic importance of such tumors in this demographic.

In this case study, the researchers reported that treating a woman with type B insulin resistance using rituximab, dexamethasone, and cyclophosphamide greatly reduced her insulin needs, but her hyperandrogenic state persisted, suggesting ovarian hyperthecosis.

Hirsutism and acanthosis nigricans are important for diagnosing PCOS; dermatologists play a key role in early detection and treatment.

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 study found that higher BMI in PCOS patients at a Chinese clinic was associated with functional disorders of androgen excess, suggesting BMI may predict hyperandrogenism in this population.

This case study from Boston University details a 35-year-old woman diagnosed with congenital adrenal hyperplasia, treated with dexamethasone, leading to normalized androgen levels and successful conception.

This review reports that hyperandrogenic conditions in women, which affect skin and overall well-being, lack dedicated treatment guidelines, presenting challenges in standardizing care.

This paper discusses polycystic ovary syndrome with a focus on androgen excess as the primary symptom and notes that insulin resistance may contribute to it in many patients, but provides no new research findings.

This study suggests that hepatocellular carcinoma in cirrhotic men is associated with altered sex-steroid metabolism, indicated by lower testosterone and 5 alpha-dihydrotestosterone levels compared to cirrhosis alone.

This case report describes an adult female with congenital adrenal hyperplasia who developed secondary amenorrhea and hair loss due to androgen overproduction from ovarian adrenal rests, detectable only after pelvic venous sampling, and normalizing after unilateral oophorectomy.

This case report presents a 60-year-old woman with virilization and elevated adrenal androgens, where a bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy confirmed ovarian steroid cell tumor NOS, and her symptoms resolved post-operatively.

In this study, females with hirsutism showed higher levels of certain androgens and reported more frequent symptoms such as infertility and increased skin greasiness compared to those without hirsutism.

This review discusses the relationship between hyperandrogenism and insulin resistance in PCOS, focusing on insulin dynamics, molecular mechanisms, genetic studies, and potential long-term treatments, but presents no new clinical results.

This case study highlights a testosterone- and cortisol-secreting adrenal oncocytic neoplasm in an 18-year-old woman, illustrating the role of surgical excision in resolving hyperandrogenism and restoring menstruation.

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

In this review, researchers examined the complex interaction of hormones, genes, and reactive oxygen species in hirsutism and PCOS, highlighting prolactin's role in modulating hormone levels linked to hair growth disorders.

This case report describes an adolescent girl with polycystic ovarian syndrome and endogenously elevated androgen levels who developed a hepatic adenoma, suggesting a link between the two conditions.

In this study of a postmenopausal woman with hyperandrogenism, GnRH agonist treatment significantly reduced testosterone levels, suggesting the androgen excess was ovarian in origin and indicating the potential of using GnRH agonists as a conservative treatment option when surgery is not feasible.

Among women with hirsutism studied, this research found a high prevalence of acne, particularly associated with polycystic ovarian syndrome and endocrine changes.

This review examines the causes, assessment, and treatments of hirsutism and highlights the need for future research in managing this condition but presents no new research findings.

This case study reports that a 61-year-old woman with high testosterone levels due to stromal luteoma of the left ovary experienced rapid normalization of testosterone levels after surgical removal of the tumor.

This study explored the clinical and biochemical hyperandrogenic status in adolescents with irregular menses to identify significant indicators of potential metabolic problems linked to PCOS.

Masculinization in affected individuals occurs gradually after puberty due to hormone changes.

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.
