This study found that women with PCOS who have an exaggerated 17-hydroxyprogesterone response to buserelin exhibit more severe hyperandrogenemia, increased insulin secretion, and reduced insulin sensitivity.

This article presents five cases of valproate-induced hyperammonemic encephalopathy in psychiatric patients treated at the authors' clinic and discusses existing literature on this side effect.

This case report describes a rare instance where a child with nonketotic hyperglycinemia developed an acrodermatitis enteropathica-like eruption, likely due to combined zinc and branched chain amino acid deficiencies.

This study reports that hyperuricemia, the second most common metabolic disease after diabetes, is linked to numerous health issues, especially in males, and recommends lifestyle modifications as an effective management strategy, highlighting the lack of consensus on uric acid thresholds necessitating drug therapy.

This study presents cases of paraproteinemic keratopathy associated with multiple myeloma and MGUS, highlighting varied treatment responses and the need for long-term follow-up to better understand disease progression and management.

This review discusses the high prevalence of androgen excess and PCOS in women with type 1 diabetes but reports no new clinical findings; the authors highlight the underdiagnosis of hyperandrogenism in these patients.

This study observed that "physiological" hyperandrogenism due to elevated total testosterone was associated with a 23.5% incidence of arterial hypertension, unlike hyperandrogenism due to elevated DHT levels.

This study found a significant association between prolactin levels and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), recommending precise investigation of prolactin levels in PCOS patients to identify causes of hyperprolactinemia.

This study found that plasma 3 alpha-diol glucuronide was markedly elevated in women with idiopathic hirsutism, suggesting it may be a marker of peripheral androgen action.

This study found that abnormal carbohydrate metabolism linked to increased serum fasting insulin levels is associated with 20% of women with polycystic ovary syndrome, and these women exhibit more symptoms compared to those with normal insulin levels.

This case report describes a patient with ectopic Cushing's syndrome who experienced fatal complications from COVID-19, highlighting the challenges in managing such patients due to immune response alterations from endogenous hypercortisolemia.

This study found that diagnosing nonclassic congenital adrenal hyperplasia in women based solely on serum 17OHP measurements can lead to false positives, suggesting the need for urinary steroid profiles and genetic testing for confirmation.

This case study describes a severe instance of iatrogenic Cushing's syndrome induced by gamma-hydroxybutyric acid, exacerbated by combined use of betamethasone and anabolic steroids, in an HIV-positive patient on cobicistat-containing therapy.

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

In this case report, the coexistence of hypercalcemia and androgen excess in a postmenopausal woman was linked to primary hyperparathyroidism and a suspected androgen-secreting ovarian tumor, underscoring the need for a comprehensive diagnostic approach to identify overlapping endocrine disorders.

An elderly man with skin amyloidosis and abnormal blood proteins was monitored without finding widespread disease after 18 months.

In this case report, a 14-year-old cat was diagnosed with both hyperaldosteronism and hyperprogesteronism linked to a large adrenal tumor, highlighting the importance for clinicians to consider these concurrent conditions in similar cases.

This study suggests that glycation of hair proteins in diabetic patients may serve as a useful indicator of long-term blood glucose trends and associations with diabetic complications.

This case report highlights the need for early diagnosis and treatment of ovarian hyperthecosis to enhance the quality of life and health outcomes for affected patients.

This case study reports an Asian female with congenital adrenal hyperplasia presenting atypically with polymenorrhagia, who showed improvement with oral dexamethasone, despite no change in hirsutism or clitoromegaly.

In this study, among women with polycystic ovary syndrome, free testosterone was most frequently elevated, highlighting its importance in biochemical assessment and suggesting the need for age-related interpretation of DHEAS levels.

In this case series study, mild ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome was reported in only one out of 118 PCOS patients receiving highly purified HMG injections for IVF treatment.

High protein diets improve wound healing and hair growth in calves, regardless of energy intake.

This study reports that hyperuricemia is a widespread metabolic condition linked with several diseases, including gout and cardiovascular disease, and highlights the importance of lifestyle modifications, particularly in males, for managing this condition efficiently.

This study highlights a rare case of ovarian hyperthecosis in a 58-year-old postmenopausal woman, presenting with polycythemia and severe hyperandrogenism symptoms, with resolution of symptoms following laparoscopic bilateral oophorectomy.

The study found that women with hyperandrogenic PCOS have higher levels of AKT1 and AKT2 proteins in their cells, which may lead to cell dysfunction.

This study found that AtT-20 pituitary cells with higher cAMP-dependent kinase activity had larger calcium currents and significantly increased beta-endorphin release compared to cells with lower kinase activity.

This study found significant associations between pruritus and elevated parathormone levels, and xerosis and elevated serum creatinine levels, in chronic kidney disease patients undergoing haemodialysis.

This case report describes a girl with Denys-Drash syndrome misdiagnosed with hyperandrogenism due to biotin interference in immunoassays, highlighting the need for awareness of laboratory result discrepancies.

This case presentation reported worsening hyperglycemia in a diabetic male patient after starting finasteride, suggesting that 5-alpha reductase inhibitors may induce hyperglycemia through insulin resistance and liver disturbances in some individuals.
