In this case report, a 21-year-old woman diagnosed with ACTH-independent Cushing syndrome showed improvement in symptoms, including a more regular menstrual cycle and lower hirsutism, after starting treatment with ketoconazole, although she developed hypertension.

PTH-CBD helps reduce hair loss in mice by stimulating hair growth directly.

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

This study found that overexpression of parathyroid hormone-related protein in mice resulted in 30–40% shorter hair due to premature transition into the catagen phase of the hair cycle.

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.

This article discusses the complexities of diagnosing pituitary dependent hyperadrenocorticism in dogs and reports no new clinical findings, highlighting issues with varied symptoms and episodic hormone secretion complicating diagnosis.

This study found that human scalp hair follicles produce neurohormones and responded to GHRH stimulation by prolonging hair growth, suggesting a functional peripheral HPS neuroendocrine signaling axis in the skin.

This study found that dihydrotestosterone treatment in female rats altered anterior pituitary gland gene expression, with significant repression of prolactin and inhibition of GnRH receptor gene expression, suggesting specific hormone production changes.

This case report details a postmenopausal woman with hyperandrogenism due to both adrenal adenoma and ovarian hyperthecosis, highlighting the effectiveness of hormonal suppression and venous sampling for diagnosis.

These guidelines recommend testing thyroid function in patients with obesity due to common hypothyroidism, and highlight that weight loss is crucial for addressing hormonal imbalances, with only modest weight loss benefits from treating endocrine disorders.

This case report describes a 46-year-old female diagnosed with hypothyroidism, presenting with symptoms including severe hair loss, and treated with levothyroxine and supplements.

This case report describes a 72-year-old man who developed symptoms of fatigue and cold intolerance after discontinuing his levothyroxine treatment for hypothyroidism six months earlier.

This study evaluated two cases of individualised homoeopathic treatment for alopecia areata and found that Phosphorus treatment resulted in complete hair regrowth and symptom resolution over 18 months.

In this study, researchers found that estrogens activate and androgens inhibit brown adipose tissue thermogenesis via the VMH, affecting energy balance and suggesting targets for treating cachexia and obesity.

This study suggests that human scalp hair follicles express erythropoietin and its receptor, up-regulating receptor expression under hypoxic conditions, and may mimic another hypothalamus–pituitary axis equivalent involving the TRH-TSH system.

This article reports a case of hair loss and pigmentation changes in a man after using propylthiouracil alongside iodine solution for thyroid and diabetic conditions, providing clinical observations without broader conclusions.

Old drugs are often used for new, different medical purposes in endocrine pharmacology.

This review discusses current and evolving treatment strategies for congenital adrenal hyperplasia in adolescents and adults, focusing on glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid therapy and the management of insulin resistance, without reporting new clinical results.

This case study highlights a delayed diagnosis of Sheehan's syndrome in a woman with post-partum hemorrhage history, emphasizing the importance of considering non-specific symptoms and menstrual history for diagnosis.

In this case study, the use of somatostatin analogues was effective in localizing and confirming a neuroendocrine lung tumor as the source of ectopic ACTH syndrome, leading to marked clinical improvement in a patient unable to undergo surgery.

This study found that hippocampus sparing whole brain radiation therapy (HS-WBRT) using multi-field intensity modulated radiation therapy prevents alopecia without compromising cognitive function compared to traditional whole brain radiation therapy.

In this case study, the authors observed that weight loss coupled with a brief use of oral contraceptives was associated with normalized testosterone levels in a woman with severe hyperandrogenism and PCOS.

This report describes a rare case of ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone syndrome caused by a pheochromocytoma that unusually co-expresses both ACTH and corticotropin-releasing hormone.

This case study highlights the importance of considering broad causes when evaluating hot flashes in middle-aged men, as it detailed a pituitary macroadenoma causing secondary hypogonadism in a man presenting with such symptoms.

This case study observed that unilateral oophorectomy may improve severe hyperandrogenism in adolescents with PCOS, even when imaging and SVS do not indicate neoplasm.

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.

In this case study, laparoscopic bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy was associated with reduced androgen levels and partial reversal of male-pattern hair loss in a postmenopausal woman with ovarian hyperandrogenism.

This case report from a pediatric setting highlighted how an 11-year-old with Hashimoto thyroiditis experienced atypical manifestations such as short stature, pubertal issues, and hair loss after starting levothyroxine therapy, underscoring the need for early diagnosis and multidisciplinary care to improve health outcomes.
