This study found that patients with non-classical 21-hydroxylase deficiency do not appear to be at risk of short adult stature despite increased bone age in childhood.

This study found that women with female-pattern hair loss had significantly lower serum levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D compared to healthy controls, but it does not establish causation.

This study used a glucocorticoid-injection model to mimic kidney-yang deficiency syndrome and reported symptoms related to hormonal imbalances in the hypothalamic-pituitary-target gland axes.

This study found that serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D was inversely associated with serum ferritin levels in Korean men, positively associated in premenopausal women, and not associated in postmenopausal women.

This study shows that measuring 17-hydroxyprogesterone concentrations in scalp hair may be a useful noninvasive tool for monitoring treatment in adults with congenital adrenal hyperplasia.

This study found that testosterone more accurately predicts PCOS diagnosis than 11-oxyandrogens, which were linked with hirsutism severity and showed varying responses to contraceptive and metformin treatments.

This study found that canine dermal papilla cells and fibroblasts metabolize androgens differently than human hair follicle cells, indicating species-specific differences in androgen metabolism.

In this study, children with classical congenital adrenal hyperplasia were found to have increased epicardial fat thickness, which was associated with subclinical atherosclerosis markers and left ventricular dysfunction, especially in poorly controlled cases.

This study suggests that measuring scalp hair 17-hydroxyprogesterone and androstenedione concentrations can be a promising tool for monitoring treatment in children with congenital adrenal hyperplasia.

Blood AMH levels are higher in women with PCOS than in those with other similar conditions.

This study reported that CYP21A2 heterozygous mutations do not significantly contribute to the pathogenesis of polycystic ovary syndrome.

This study found that chemical sympathectomy inhibited hair follicle growth in mice, suggesting that sympathetic nerves may regulate keratinocyte behavior to promote hair growth.

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.

This study found that 11α-hydroxyprogesterone is a potent inhibitor of 11βHSD2 in vitro and may serve as a precursor to unique C11α-hydroxy steroids in prostate cancer tissue.

This study found that alopecia areata patients had significantly abnormal T3, T4, TPOAbs, ANA, and lower vitamin D levels compared to healthy controls.

This study reported that in embryo transfer cycles for women with nonclassic 21-hydroxylase deficiency, dexamethasone use was associated with improved pregnancy rates, and maintaining a BMI below 23.36 kg/m² increased pregnancy probabilities.

This study found that Chinese patients with alopecia areata, female pattern hair loss, and male androgenetic alopecia had significantly lower serum vitamin D levels than healthy individuals.

This study found that obese Egyptian women with polycystic ovary syndrome had significantly lower serum 25-OH vitamin D levels compared to non-obese women with the condition.

A postmenopausal woman's masculine symptoms improved after surgery for a hormone-producing ovarian tumor.

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 found that in PCOS women, polycystic ovarian morphology is linked to more severe hormonal imbalances and insulin resistance, especially in those who are overweight or obese.

This review discusses the challenges in diagnosing different causes of adult androgen excess and outlines current screening and management strategies but reports no new findings.

This study found that serum 8-Hydroxydeoxyguanosine levels were significantly higher in alopecia areata patients compared to healthy controls, suggesting its potential as a diagnostic and prognostic biomarker for the condition.

This case report highlights the challenges in diagnosing simple-virilizing congenital adrenal hyperplasia, emphasizing the importance of early expert evaluation to prevent irreversible changes such as virilization.

This study found that DNA damage in obese women was linked to serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D and hair chromium levels, with higher serum vitamin D associated with less damage and higher chromium with more damage.

This study found that patients with alopecia areata had significantly lower serum vitamin D levels compared to controls, but these levels did not impact disease severity or pattern.

This study observed no significant difference in vitamin D levels between children with alopecia areata and controls, but higher complete improvement in alopecia was noted among patients with vitamin D deficiency undergoing oral vitamin D treatment.

In this study, researchers found no significant difference in vitamin D levels between psoriasis patients and controls, suggesting no association between vitamin D deficiency and psoriasis.

This study found no correlation between clinical signs and sex steroid levels in ferrets with hyperadrenocorticism and noted that androstenedione was elevated in many cases.

This study in humans and pigs found that finasteride metabolism is significantly influenced by CYP3A4, with induced metabolism decreasing and inhibited metabolism increasing plasma exposure of the drug.
