This study describes the first case of female pseudohermaphroditism due to a novel homozygous glucocorticoid receptor gene mutation, indicating possible pre- and postnatal virilization in affected females.

This case report highlighted rapid virilization in a woman with adrenocortical carcinoma, stressing the importance of androgen evaluation to suspect underlying ovarian or adrenal tumors.

This study observed that the size of vaginal prolapse in patients was significantly related to both the preoperative vaginal length and the length of vaginal excision during the Michigan four-wall sacrospinous suspension procedure.

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.

Finasteride helps induce ovulation in nonresponder PCOS women.

This article reviews the clinical and biochemical features of genetic mutations affecting dihydrotestosterone production and their potential role in male pseudo-hermaphroditism, but presents no new clinical results.

This study found that inhibiting the 5alpha-reductase 2 pathway in male rats affects brain sexual differentiation and leads to reproductive changes, including increased pre-implantation loss despite unchanged copulatory potential.

This study suggests 5α‐androstan‐3α‐17β‐diol may be the true inducer of kidney enzymes in certain mice, while its induction mechanism likely involves pinocytosis rather than a receptor protein.

This case study reported hyperandrogenism in non-obese triplet sisters with one sister's hyperthyroidism masking its clinical and biochemical signs until treatment increased her androgen levels and hirsutism.

This case describes a 14-year-old girl whose symptoms of hirsutism and virilization were attributed to an ovarian Sertoli-Leydig tumor, with improvement following surgical removal.

This study explored the effects of MOTILIPERM on infertility in a rat model with varicocele and oxidative stress, reporting its potential therapeutic efficacy.

This study found that prenatal exposure to finasteride in rats led to permanent changes in developmental endpoints like anogenital distance and nipple retention, which were predictive of further reproductive tract malformations.

This article discusses congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21 hydroxylase deficiency as a cause of ambiguous genitals in 46XX individuals and reports no new research findings.

This case report describes a rare instance of functioning adrenocortical oncocytoma in a 14-year-old girl with virilization and reviews related literature.

In this study, prenatal exposure to all-trans-retinoic acid in pregnant mice resulted in increased BrdU-positive nuclei in hair bulbs without altering hair follicle morphogenesis, suggesting potential for non-teratogenic studies on skin diseases.

This case study of a young Palestinian woman illustrates the diagnostic and treatment challenges of ovarian steroid cell tumors, highlighting the importance of detailed examination when hormonal therapy fails.

This study describes a method to estimate endogenous hormone production by neutralizing an endogenous hormone with an oppositely acting hormone.

This study found a significant association between patients' sex of rearing and external genitalia in those with gonadal dysgenesis, while noting lower testosterone levels compared to controls.

This case report describes a 46,XY female patient with a novel homozygous nonsense mutation in the LHCGR gene, highlighting the need for molecular analysis in disorders of sexual development.

This review discusses the roles of androgens in female mammals, focusing on how androgen receptor activity in pig reproductive organs may influence ovulation rate and litter size, but reports no new experimental results.

In this study, patients with testicular feminization syndrome showed limited anabolic responsiveness to dihydrotestosterone, potentially due to reduced affinity of nuclear receptor sites for androgenic steroids rather than defective testosterone conversion.

In this case report, a 62-year-old woman with hyperandrogenism and polycythemia was diagnosed with a rare ovarian steroid cell tumor, highlighting the importance of considering such tumors in similar presentations; surgical removal led to symptom and lab normalization.

This study indicates that sheep prenatally androgenized with testosterone show wool fiber diameter changes that parallel the increased hair diameter in women with polycystic ovary syndrome.

This in vitro study suggests that factors in the serum of PCOS patients may contribute to ovarian dysfunction, evidenced by higher hormone production and primordial follicle survival compared to control sera.

This study found that a lifestyle modification program significantly improved androgenic alopecia, acne vulgaris, and hirsutism levels in infertile overweight and obese women, with 36.2% achieving pregnancy post-intervention compared to none before, suggesting enhanced fertility and reduced hyperandrogenism.

This study observed that inflammatory stimuli significantly altered gene expression in rat theca-interstitial cells, affecting pathways related to growth and androgen production, which are central features of polycystic ovary syndrome.

This case study reported on a 62-year-old woman with ovarian hyperthecosis, which caused symptoms like hirsutism and elevated testosterone; after bilateral oophorectomy, her symptoms improved, suggesting the importance of considering this rare condition in hyperandrogenism diagnosis for postmenopausal women.

This review discusses steroid cell tumors of the ovary, their hormone production, symptoms, and evaluation, emphasizing surgery as the key treatment approach; it reports no new clinical results.

This case report describes an obese young adolescent girl with PCOS who presented with high testosterone levels and severe hyperinsulinemia, successfully treated with continuous combined oral contraceptives.
