A woman experienced unusual hair loss and skin reactions after taking phenobarbital, but her hair grew back after treatment.

The study found that normalizing mineral ion levels in vitamin D receptor-ablated mice prevented hyperparathyroidism and bone disorders but did not address hair loss, indicating the VDR's role in hair growth.

In this case report, a 9-year-old Samoyed dog with a history of dermatitis showed symptoms compatible with chronic sebaceous adenitis, marked by the absence of sebaceous glands and non-granulomatous skin infiltration.

In this controlled registry study, 8 years of testosterone therapy in hypogonadal men led to a significant decrease in waist circumference, weight, and BMI compared to those without the therapy.

This article reviews new drug therapies for endocrine disorders, discussing specific treatments such as trilostane for hyperadrenocorticism and various insulins for diabetes mellitus, but it reports no new clinical findings.

In this case report, a 71-year-old woman with severe hyperandrogenism and virilization revealed a bilateral ovarian steroid cell tumor, confirmed after adnexectomy, resulting in normalized testosterone levels and improved hirsutism post-surgery.

This study observed that the development of the pars intermedia in long-tailed macaques is closely associated with changes in skin pigmentation during pre- and postnatal periods through melanocyte-stimulating hormone and ACTH activity.

This review explores the therapeutic potential of brown adipose tissue for treating polycystic ovary syndrome and reports no new experimental results, emphasizing the need for future research to develop effective strategies.

This case report describes how a 68-year-old woman's hyperandrogenic symptoms improved and testosterone levels normalized after the surgical removal of an occult Leydig cell tumour.

This study reported that a 12-year-old neutered male Siberian husky dog showed resolution of alopecia, pyoderma, and diarrhoea after thyroidectomy and thyroid supplementation for a functional thyroid carcinoma.

This case series observed that ovarian hyperthecosis can manifest with hyperandrogenism and insulin resistance in postmenopausal women, even when serum testosterone levels are below diagnostic thresholds, suggesting potential gaps in current diagnostic criteria.

In this case report from People's College of Medical Sciences, a 20-year-old man initially misdiagnosed with Addison's disease was ultimately found to have strongyloidiasis, with his symptoms and weight loss improving after antihelminthic treatment.

This study found that overexpression of PTHrP in mice chondrocytes led to short-limbed dwarfism and delays in endochondral ossification, highlighting PTHrP's role in inhibiting chondrocyte differentiation.

This study found that both a high dose of CPA and GnRHa are effective for treating hirsutism in hyperandrogenic women, but GnRHa with add-back therapy may lead to a longer remission period.

This report describes an exceptionally rare adrenal neoplasm in a post-menopausal woman that exclusively secreted DHEA-S, with significant serum level reduction following adrenalectomy.

A 19-year-old male with delayed puberty was successfully treated for a condition that prevents normal hormone production.

This study found that treatment with cyproterone acetate and ethinylestradiol in hirsute women reduced testosterone and androstenedione levels, decreased hair growth, and increased cortisol levels without changing catecholamine excretion.

This source explains that Equine Cushing’s disease, or PPID, in horses is due to the degeneration of brain cells producing dopamine, leading to elevated cortisol levels and characteristic symptoms; it outlines diagnosis methods and emphasizes life-long pergolide treatment to manage the condition.

This study found that experimentally induced hypothyroidism in rats is associated with impaired skin structure, but topical application of triiodothyronine (T3) improved these changes to resemble normal skin.

This case report highlights the need to assess postmenopausal women with hirsutism for hyperandrogenism causes, as exemplified by a Leydig cell tumor coinciding with primary hyperparathyroidism.

This study observed that intramuscular injection of sodium 131iodide at doses of up to 1 mCi can successfully induce hypothyroidism in rats without significantly damaging muscle or nearby tissues, despite concerns of adverse effects.

This case report highlights that in severe illnesses like sepsis, myxedema coma can occur with less elevated TSH levels than typical for primary hypothyroidism, likely due to inflammatory cytokines affecting TSH secretion, even when central lesions are absent.

This case report describes a unique instance where elevated prolactin levels from a pituitary adenoma were associated with hirsutism due to increased dihydrotestosterone, with treatment leading to normalization.

This case report describes a woman with Sheehan's syndrome, leading to severe combined systolic and diastolic heart failure, where treatment improved cardiac function.

This case study reported a 34-year-old woman presenting with secondary amenorrhea, hirsutism, and obesity showed elevated testosterone and anti-Müllerian hormone levels, leading to the exclusion of nonclassical congenital adrenal hyperplasia as a diagnosis.

This study found that 67% of children treated with diphencyprone for alopecia areata or alopecia totalis regrew scalp hair, with 33% achieving complete regrowth.

This article reviews hair growth patterns in humans and laboratory animals, noting the random distribution of active and inactive hair follicles and differences in regional coordination among animal species, and reports no new results.

This study found that vertical sleeve gastrectomy improved metabolic, behavioral, and reproductive symptoms in a rat model of PCOS, suggesting it may be a potential therapy for specific aspects of PCOS.

This study reported that severe hypothyroidism in two pediatric patients was associated with transient liver and kidney dysfunction, which resolved after beginning levothyroxine treatment.

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.
