This article describes the causes of hirsutism, introduces a novel assessment tool, and suggests strategies for investigation and management, but provides no new experimental results.

This study synthesizes current evidence showing that menopause involves a predictable endocrine transition, while male ageing features a more variable testosterone decline, necessitating a nuanced clinical approach to diagnosis and treatment.

Continuous glucose monitoring and GLP-1 receptor agonists improve diabetes management, but personalized care and education are crucial.

This case report emphasizes the importance of recognizing non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia as a cause of hyperandrogenism and the need for genetic counseling given potential familial implications.

This study observed no teratogenic effects of oral decongestants and surprisingly favorable neonatal outcomes in Swedish women who used them during pregnancy.

This article provides citations without reporting new findings on androgen conjugate levels in alopecia.

This study found that adequate vitamin D status is necessary for metformin to effectively reduce prolactin levels in men with iatrogenic hyperprolactinemia, while improvements in glycemic control were observed across all vitamin D groups.

In this review, researchers found that while hyper- and hypoprolactinemia in PCOS patients are linked to metabolic changes, intermediate prolactin levels might be protective, but more robust prospective studies and clinical trials are needed to confirm these findings and develop treatments.

This study found that reducing circulating PRL levels is not necessary for the onset of winter hair growth in mink and that adrenal glands do not inhibit this process through DHEA or its metabolite Delta(5)-DIOL.

In this review, the potential role of the hormone prolactin in skin biology and its implications for treating skin diseases and hair disorders are explored, with a focus on its stress-related impacts and possible immunomodulatory function in the context of COVID-19.

This study found that daily topical application of 500 microg/ml latanoprost led to moderate to marked hair regrowth in a macaque model of androgenetic alopecia.

This case report describes a woman with hyperandrogenism and menstrual disturbances, where an ovarian steroid cell tumor was identified and removed, leading to resolution of symptoms.

Women with pituitary adenomas often have reproductive issues, like irregular periods and trouble getting pregnant, but not always breast milk production without pregnancy.

This study found that macrophage-stimulating protein (MSP) enhanced hair growth in both human hair follicles cultured in vitro and in mice through the promotion of anagen phase induction.

Oestrogen and thyrotropin-releasing hormone affect prolactin and its receptor in human skin and hair, suggesting new treatment options for related conditions.

In this study, 48% of women with androgenetic alopecia showed hypothyroidism or hyperprolactinemia after TRH stimulation, suggesting these conditions may influence androgen metabolism and contribute to hair loss.

This study found that serum prolactin and dehydroepiandrosterone levels did not determine the onset of mink hair growth cycles, though their metabolites may influence other aspects of hair growth.

In this study, pregnenolone was found to dose-dependently reduce L-DOPA-induced dyskinesias in a rat model of Parkinson's disease, suggesting its potential as a therapeutic target for these dyskinesias.

This study found that men with early-onset androgenic alopecia may be partially resistant to the cardiometabolic benefits of bromocriptine compared to those with normal hair growth.

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.

Medroxyprogesterone acetate improved sleep apnea symptoms in some obese patients.

This study suggests that both the central biosynthesis and metabolism of progesterone to 3α,5α‐THP in the ventral tegmental area are crucial for facilitating lordosis in female rats.

This report suggests a potential link between hyperprolactinemia and alopecia in women with autoimmune thyroid disease and emphasizes the importance of considering other causes in diagnosis.

This study found that progesterone increased the survival of newborn neurons and enhanced spatial learning and memory in adult male mice, independent of neuron production changes.

This study found that men with early-onset androgenic alopecia are less responsive to the cardiometabolic effects of bromocriptine compared to men with normal hair growth.

This study found that serum prolactin levels were significantly higher in patients with psoriasis, alopecia areata, and vitiligo compared to healthy controls, and prolactin levels were also correlated with disease severity in psoriasis and alopecia areata patients.

This case report describes a boy with hypothalamic hamartoma experiencing pubertas precox and gelastic seizures, where leuprorelin therapy's effect on pubertas precox was controversial, but valproic acid effectively managed gelastic seizures.

This study found that selecting Angus cattle for early puberty reduced their prolactin levels, which may indicate a response to changing day length.

This study found that PGF2alpha analogues and PGE2 stimulated hair follicle activity in mice, with PGF2alpha analogues also linked to potential side effects like poliosis when used as eye treatments.
