This study suggests that measuring cortisol levels in hair may serve as a useful biomarker for assessing mood in individuals with bipolar disorder over recent months.

This article reviews differential diagnosis approaches for 46,XY DSD, proposing a diagnostic algorithm focused on biochemical and genetic data, without presenting new clinical results.

This article reviews studies on younger men using finasteride for hair loss, finding persistent sexual and nonsexual side effects like erectile dysfunction and depression, and reports lower neurosteroid levels in affected individuals.

This review proposes focusing on relationships between neuroactive steroids and psychiatric disorder symptoms, rather than relying on traditional disorder classifications, and reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that myo-inositol treatment reduced hirsutism and acne in women with PCOS by improving their metabolic profiles, including lower insulin and testosterone levels.

This study found that midazolam improved PTSD-associated behavioral deficits in rats through its action on the TSPO, CBR, and neurosteroidogenesis pathways.

This review, sourced from expert panel discussions and literature analysis, suggests Tianmeng oral liquid may improve sleep, reduce anxiety and depression, and enhance well-being in psychosomatic disorder patients, though further research is necessary.

This review reports that hair follicles are dynamic neuro-immuno-endocrine organs with intrinsic signaling pathways, which play a crucial role in hair disorders like alopecia. It highlights emerging regenerative approaches targeting these pathways for hair restoration.

This study reports that prostatitis, affecting many men aged 30 to 50, arises from diverse causes, including bacterial infections and pelvic pain syndromes, and requires treatment strategies specific to its type, such as antibiotics and lifestyle changes.

This review discusses the potential role of steroid 5α-reductase inhibitors in treating neuropsychiatric disorders related to dopaminergic hyperreactivity but reports no new clinical results.

This review examines the methods and challenges in androgen laboratory diagnostics, discussing their advantages, limitations, and evolution; it presents no new experimental results.

Testosterone therapy can improve sexual function in women but long-term safety is unclear.

This systematic review reported that probiotics, prebiotics, synbiotics, postbiotics, and dietary supplements may improve hair density and reduce dandruff severity in individuals with scalp disorders, potentially by modifying inflammation, oxidative stress, and microbiota composition; however, variability across studies limits the strength of these conclusions.

This article discusses the potential of acupuncture as a complementary or alternative therapy for PCOS, highlighting experimental evidence of its positive effects on reproductive and metabolic function, but reports no new clinical results.

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 review found that patients with depression generally have higher hair cortisol concentrations compared to healthy controls, while those with PTSD tend to have lower concentrations.

This review discusses the pharmacological properties and physiological regulation of neuroactive steroids, focusing on their varied responses to stress and ethanol in rats, mice, and humans, but it reports no new findings.

Women's ovarian hormones and adrenal androgens change throughout life, affecting hair loss and health.

In this study, patients with alopecia areata showed altered hypothalamic activity and connectivity, which may be linked to the neurophysiological basis of psychological stress experienced by these patients, as assessed by functional MRI and correlated with neuropsychological evaluations.

This review explores the hormonal regulation of hair growth and changes with season, age, and sexual development, and calls for improved treatments for hair disorders.

This case report describes a 19-year-old girl with PCOS who experienced symptom improvement, including normalized menstruation, after two months of Ayurvedic treatment.

This article reviews the role of androgens and oral contraceptives in acne pathogenesis and management but presents no new clinical results.

Amenorrhea is relatively rare and initial testing should check FSH, TSH, and prolactin levels.

Amenorrhea is when a woman doesn't have periods, with primary amenorrhea starting by age 15 or within five years of breast development, and secondary amenorrhea when periods stop for three months. It affects 3-4% of women not pregnant, breastfeeding, or in menopause, mainly due to polycystic ovary syndrome, hypothalamic amenorrhea, hyperprolactinemia, and ovarian failure.

Amenorrhea, or the absence of periods, should be evaluated by age 15 or within five years of early breast development, and is most commonly caused by conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome and hypothalamic amenorrhea.

This review discusses the pharmacological properties and clinical applications of cyproterone acetate and similar antiandrogens, noting previous failures in local applications due to concentration limitations; it reports no new empirical results.

This study found that cortisone reductase deficiency is caused by inactivating mutations in the H6PD gene, affecting cortisol metabolism by preventing 11β-HSD1 enzyme function.

This review summarizes the recent advances in molecular mechanisms influencing tissue sensitivity to glucocorticoids, emphasizing novel mutations and new information on the glucocorticoid receptor's circadian rhythm and ligand-induced repression, but reports no new results.

The document concludes that identifying the cause of amenorrhea is crucial for proper treatment.

This study found that early life stress significantly affects hedonic sensitivity to high-palatable food by altering gonadal hormones in prenatally-stressed male and female rats, with sex-dependent changes in reward-related behaviors and neurochemistry.
