This review discusses the historical understanding and evolving diagnostic criteria for polycystic ovary syndrome without presenting new clinical findings, highlighting the multifactorial nature and associated risks of the condition.

This case series observed that ovarian hyperthecosis can manifest with hyperandrogenism and insulin resistance in postmenopausal women, even when serum testosterone levels are below diagnostic thresholds, suggesting potential gaps in current diagnostic criteria.

This review discusses the 2023 International Guideline for PCOS assessment and management, highlighting updated evidence-based recommendations and practice points aimed at improving care and health outcomes, but notes that research quality remains generally low to moderate.

This review summarizes various nutritional approaches and supplements, such as the Mediterranean and ketogenic diets and probiotics, as potential strategies to improve polycystic ovary syndrome symptoms, reporting no new clinical results.

This review discusses the pathogenesis and diagnosis of alopecia and acne, emphasizing the need for coordinated treatment approaches in conditions like FPHL/AGA and complex acne, but reports no new clinical results.

In this case report, a 21-year-old female with familial partial lipodystrophy type 2 and hyperandrogenism was found to have a rare Sertoli cell tumor of the ovary, highlighting an unusual presentation where links between these two rare conditions are still unknown.

This case study highlights a testosterone- and cortisol-secreting adrenal oncocytic neoplasm in an 18-year-old woman, illustrating the role of surgical excision in resolving hyperandrogenism and restoring menstruation.

This study suggests bicalutamide may be effective in reducing hair loss severity in female pattern hair loss, particularly when other antiandrogen therapies are less effective due to hyperandrogenic conditions.

This study found that among Portuguese women with hirsutism, polycystic ovary syndrome was the most prevalent cause, associated with distinct hormonal features and higher BMI compared to controls.

This case report describes a patient with an ovarian steroid cell tumor that initially presented as non-classical adrenal hyperplasia, emphasizing the difficulty in differential diagnosis with hyperandrogenism and the importance of close clinical monitoring.

This case report highlights the challenge of differentiating between non-classical adrenal hyperplasia and steroid cell tumors of the ovary in a patient presenting with hyperandrogenism.

This review discusses how skin changes like acanthosis nigricans and psoriasis can indicate metabolic syndrome components such as insulin resistance and dyslipidemia, suggesting a potential role for early diagnosis and treatment in reducing cardiovascular risks associated with the syndrome.

This study found no significant differences in fat distribution between Thai women with and without polycystic ovary syndrome, though PCOS women with abnormal glucose tolerance showed higher arm fat.

This study found that clinical and biochemical markers of hyperandrogenism were more common in post-adolescent and early adult-onset acne among women than in adolescent acne.

This article discusses androgenetic alopecia, its progression, signs of hyperandrogenism, and impacts on quality of life, without presenting new clinical findings.

This case report presents a 60-year-old woman with virilization and elevated adrenal androgens, where a bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy confirmed ovarian steroid cell tumor NOS, and her symptoms resolved post-operatively.

This case report describes the rare association of an ovarian Leydig cell tumor and primary hyperparathyroidism in a postmenopausal woman, highlighting the importance of considering rare causes in patients with virilizing symptoms.

This study found that hormonal abnormalities are not very common in adult females with acne, although some patients showed indicators of hyperandrogenism.

This article discusses PCOS, highlighting its association with insulin resistance and chronic inflammation, and suggests that nutrition, exercise, and supplements may improve body composition and metabolic function, but reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the pathogenesis and treatment approaches for non-scarring alopecia and acne, highlighting the role of genetic factors, androgens, and metabolic risks but reports no new clinical results.

This case report described a 62-year-old postmenopausal woman with hirsutism whose symptoms improved after a hysterectomy and bilateral oophorectomy, revealing bilateral ovarian hyperthecosis.

This case study reported two instances of female androgenetic alopecia with male pattern reversed after surgical removal of an ovarian tumor.

This study observed that in a mouse model of androgenetic alopecia, treatments with LTF, 5% minoxidil, and LTF-DPC-EXO significantly promoted hair regeneration compared to the model group, potentially through modulation of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.

This study found that the antioxidant N-acetylcysteine attenuated ferroptosis in the uterus and placenta of a PCOS-like rat model, indicating its potential as a therapeutic strategy for PCOS-related complications.

This review explores current and emerging treatments for polycystic ovary syndrome, focusing on managing hyperandrogenism and cardiometabolic risk, but reports no new clinical results.

In this study, treatment targeting the estrogen-androgen balance reduced hair loss in 74 out of 104 women with androgenetic alopecia, with some experiencing hair regrowth.

This review explores the similarities between polycystic ovary syndrome and hemochromatosis in terms of iron overload and suggests that addressing gut dysbiosis might help manage iron levels in these conditions.

This review discusses the relationship between gut microbiota and polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), including its potential mechanisms and the role of alterations in microbiome composition on PCOS pathophysiology.

This review discusses alternative androgen pathways, including the "backdoor" pathway and pathways to 11-oxygenated steroids, and reports no new clinical results; the authors aim to clarify these concepts for better patient treatment.

This study reported that women with acanthosis nigricans and insulin resistance often exhibit signs of hyperandrogenism, including hirsutism, and have elevated fasting plasma insulin compared to controls.
