In this case report, a 55-year-old postmenopausal woman was diagnosed with ovarian hyperthecosis as the cause of her hyperandrogenism after detailed hormonal and imaging investigations, which was successfully treated with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, leading to symptom improvement and normalized testosterone levels.

This review discusses treatments for female acne, highlighting the effectiveness of low-dose oral contraceptives and noting their similar side effects to placebo; it reports no new clinical results.

This study found that blocking neurosteroid synthesis in pregnant sheep increased HPA axis activity, particularly under stress, suggesting neurosteroids help modulate stress response.

This study found that while 11-oxyandrogens do not aid in diagnosing PCOS, they correlate with hirsutism severity, and 11-ketotestosterone levels decrease with combined oral contraceptive therapy.

This article provides an overview of ovulation disorders, discussing ovarian, hypothalamic, and endocrine defects but reports no new clinical findings.

This study reports that using molecular docking methods, beta-sitosterol and stigmasterol from Serenoa repens were identified as potential natural inhibitors of the 5AR1 enzyme, which could serve as novel treatments for androgenetic alopecia based on their inhibitory action observed in a laboratory setting.

The new compounds may be more effective and cheaper than current treatments for conditions like baldness.

This review discusses the role of neuro(active)steroids, particularly those in the 5α reductase pathway, in modulating dopamine signaling and their impact on neuropsychiatric disorders characterized by dopamine imbalances, including addiction, schizophrenia, and Parkinson's Disease.

Finasteride helps induce ovulation in nonresponder PCOS women.

This study found that monthly high-dose steroid pulse therapy for approximately six months was effective and well-tolerated in Taiwanese patients with severe multifocal alopecia areata.

In this study, analysis of FDA data revealed a substantial risk of dermatologic adverse events with aromatase inhibitors, especially anastrozole and exemestane, highlighting the importance of dermatologic monitoring during such therapies.

This study found that progesterone can inhibit spinal reflex potentiation in ovariectomized rats through GABA(A) receptor activity, mediated by neurosteroid metabolism rather than direct progesterone receptor action.

This study found that men with androgenic alopecia had significantly higher levels of certain urinary steroid metabolites, suggesting increased 5 alpha-reductase activity and possible mild hyperadrenal activity.

This case report describes a 69-year-old woman with hirsutism and elevated serum testosterone, where surgery resolved symptoms and serum testosterone, suggesting ovarian steroid cell tumor consideration in similar profiles.

This case report details a postmenopausal woman with hyperandrogenism due to both adrenal adenoma and ovarian hyperthecosis, highlighting the effectiveness of hormonal suppression and venous sampling for diagnosis.

Researchers made two new compounds that could be used for medicine.

Finasteride effectively lowers specific hormone levels, helping monitor treatment progress.

This paper discusses four rare causes of hyperandrogenism in women, emphasizing the importance of detailed biochemical testing and invasive diagnostic tools when imaging fails to identify ovarian tumors.

This article compiles references on toxic epidermal necrolysis and cutaneous reactions to anticancer agents but reports no new findings.

This study did not find any significant effects of estradiol or its antagonists on hair growth in two common mouse strains, challenging previous results reported by Oh and Smart.

This review discusses ovarian hyperthecosis as a rare cause of androgenetic alopecia in postmenopausal women and reports no new results; the authors highlight the need to explore its relationship to alopecia further.

This study concluded that dietary changes alter serum progesterone and estradiol levels in late gestation ewes, likely due to metabolism rather than changes in placental steroid synthesis.

This study found that ovariectomized and finasteride-treated rats showed significant tear film deficiency and downregulation of sex steroid receptors in ocular tissues, suggesting potential models for studying dry eye disorders.

This study suggests that the regulation of GABA‐A δ subunit expression by ovarian progesterone-derived neurosteroids may influence seizure susceptibility in catamenial epilepsy.

This study reviewed a corticosteroid treatment regimen for a 52-year-old woman with extensive alopecia areata, showing significant hair regrowth and sustained remission over 12 months, suggesting oral mini-pulse therapy as a viable alternative for those ineligible for JAK inhibitors.

This article discusses the issues with the name "polycystic ovary syndrome" and proposes a new naming system to better reflect the condition's complex hormonal and metabolic abnormalities.

This article discusses treatments for hirsutism and acne in women with polycystic ovary syndrome, suggesting that lower doses of current medications maintain efficacy while reducing cost and side effects, but reports no new clinical results.
