This study found that blocking neurosteroid synthesis in the brain of pregnant sheep elevated HPA axis activity, suggesting neurosteroids play a vital role in moderating stress response.

In this study, researchers found that tritiated cortisol was incorporated into the hair of rhesus monkeys primarily as cortisol and cortisone, as well as other metabolites, after systemic administration.

This review examines the negative effects of anabolic-androgenic steroid use on the male reproductive system, including impaired testosterone production, sperm production issues, and adverse metabolic consequences without reporting new clinical results.

The authors of this review explore the link between thyroid disorders and skin conditions in children, highlighting how conditions like chronic urticaria, vitiligo, and alopecia may signal underlying thyroid issues and emphasizing the importance of early detection for timely diagnosis and personalized treatment.

This study developed and validated a method for extracting cortisol from human and animal hair, suggesting its potential as a biomarker for assessing chronic stress exposure.

This study observed that drug-naïve first-episode psychosis patients had higher hair cortisol concentrations than healthy controls, and these concentrations correlated with the severity of psychopathology.

In this review, researchers highlighted that natural polyphenolics like flavonoids and resveratrol may help enhance testosterone production in aging males by boosting the expression of the Star gene in Leydig cells, potentially preventing age-related degenerative conditions linked to testosterone insufficiency.

This review suggests systemic changes in polycystic ovary syndrome may increase the risk of neurodegeneration, potentially linking it to Alzheimer's disease through common pathways affecting tryptophan metabolism.

This review discusses the dermatological effects and potential mechanisms of plant adaptogens, emphasizing their role in skin health and aging without presenting new experimental results.

This research review highlights how hair cortisol concentration can reflect the activation of the stress-response system in farm, domestic, and wild animals, noting it correlates with factors like species, sex, age, and environmental conditions, which may influence stress and adaptation.

This study observed that pregnant women experienced an increase in hair cortisol concentrations, with primiparae having significantly higher levels in the last trimester compared to multiparae.

This review discusses the reproductive challenges and potential pathophysiological mechanisms related to anorexia nervosa, noting possible long-term effects on fertility and pregnancy outcomes.

This article reviews dermatological problems associated with estrogen deficiency in menopausal women and highlights the importance of dermatologist and gynecologist collaboration, but reports no new clinical results.

MRI helps distinguish between pituitary adenomas and craniopharyngiomas, guides treatment for pediatric CNS tumors, and assesses rhinocerebral mucormycosis with a high mortality rate in transplanted patients.

Small hormonal imbalances can cause significant health problems, so more sensitive testing for hormone-disrupting chemicals is needed.

Thyroid disease can cause hair loss and treating thyroid problems might help with hair disorders.

This review discusses the diagnostic challenges of PCOS in adolescents, noting that the persistence of hyperandrogenism and oligomenorrhea is required for diagnosis, while genetic studies suggest involvement of the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis.

This review discusses hormonal systems in the skin, such as the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal and hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axes, and reports no new clinical results.

In this study, Pomeranians with non-illness, generalized alopecia did not exhibit adrenal or pituitary abnormalities, suggesting a breed-specific hormonal pattern as a potential cause rather than a functional adrenal anomaly.

This source outlines common health issues in weanling gerbils, including skin infections often tied to beta-hemolytic Staphylococcus aureus, and obesity-related conditions like diabetes, as well as respiratory infections and musculoskeletal problems, without detailing specific new study results.

This study suggests that moderate elevated prolactin levels are unlikely to cause significant hair loss in women, but still warrant further diagnostic investigation to rule out a prolactin-producing pituitary tumor.

This document by the AACE and AES provides a 2015 summary of best practices for diagnosing and managing PCOS, emphasizing clinical assessment and treatment options but reports no new clinical results.

Lower family income is linked to more stress in parents and more behavior problems in children.

This study outlines a multidisciplinary approach to investigate primary amenorrhea, emphasizing the necessity to consider medical history, physical examination, and potential hormonal or anatomical causes, and recommends early referral in cases of chromosomal abnormalities or persistent amenorrhea following the development of secondary sexual characteristics.

This article reviews the clinical complications and increased mortality risks associated with Cushing's syndrome but does not present new clinical data; it emphasizes the need for prompt treatment to mitigate these risks.

This review discusses the pharmacological properties and clinical applications of cyproterone acetate and similar antiandrogens, noting previous failures in local applications due to concentration limitations; it reports no new empirical results.

This review examines various androgen deprivation therapy methods for advanced prostate cancer, highlighting benefits and potential cardiovascular and sexual adverse effects, but reports no new clinical results.

This article reviews new drug therapies for endocrine disorders, discussing specific treatments such as trilostane for hyperadrenocorticism and various insulins for diabetes mellitus, but it reports no new clinical findings.

This paper reviews Ayurvedic concepts related to PCOS and compares them with PCOS symptoms, without presenting new clinical findings.

This research found that androgen bioactivity plays a role in normal female sexual differentiation, suggesting females develop within a significant androgenic environment, with implications for understanding conditions like congenital adrenal hyperplasia.
