This article reviews clinical and treatment aspects of hyperandrogenism in women, emphasizing the roles of diagnostic practices, combined oral contraceptives, and cyproterone acetate, but introduces no new findings.

This study found that various steroids affected the mRNA expression of enzymes involved in lipid metabolism in hamster flank organs, with different impacts depending on the steroid and combination used.

This study found that allopregnanolone has a bimodal effect on prolactin secretion in sheep, stimulating PRL mRNA expression but inhibiting hormone release under stress and pregnancy conditions.

This article discusses the mechanisms of hirsutism and acne in women, highlighting cyproterone acetate with ethinyloestradiol as an effective anti-androgen therapy in the UK, but it reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that finasteride blocked the progesterone-induced increase in spike-wave discharges in rats, suggesting that this effect of progesterone is mediated by its metabolite allopregnanolone.

This study found that adverse effects from hormonal contraception were more common and severe with progestin-only injections compared to estradiol levonorgestrel combination pills.

In this study, a treatment regimen combining cyproterone acetate and ethinyl estradiol significantly improved acne and seborrhoea in most women after three months, but had varied effects on hirsutism and alopecia.

This study found that physician knowledge of thromboembolism risk associated with cyproterone acetate/ethinylestradiol was generally high, although it varied for complex or less common topics.

This review addresses various gender-specific challenges in managing women with epilepsy, such as AED-related cosmetic concerns and hormonal impacts on seizure frequency, but it reports no new clinical findings.

In this study, high-dose dutasteride significantly reduced several core symptoms of PMDD compared to placebo, supporting the role of neurosteroids in this condition.

Allopregnanolone, a progesterone metabolite, helps reduce restraint effects on behavior.

This study found that free testosterone levels were 29% higher with the levonorgestrel implant than with the DMPA injection, which may impact sexual function, mood, and side effects like acne.

Progesterone treatment improved seizures in a woman with menstrual cycle-related epilepsy, but a wrong medication worsened her condition.

This article reviews the role of androgens and oral contraceptives in acne pathogenesis and management but presents no new clinical results.

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.

This study found that dutasteride treatment in pregnant mares significantly increased progesterone concentrations but did not alter gestational length or neonatal outcomes.

Progesterone reduces anxiety without needing progesterone receptors.

In this study, intrathecal progesterone administration initially worsened mechanical allodynia in mice after nerve injury, but later reduced pain when applied during the maintenance phase, highlighting distinct roles for cytochrome P450c17 and 5α-reductase in neuropathic pain modulation.

This study found that several synthesized pregnane derivatives exhibited significant inhibitory effects on testosterone conversion to dihydrotestosterone and reduced related androgenic parameters in multiple pharmacological models.

In this study, finasteride inhibited progesterone synthesis in mouse-derived MA-10 Leydig tumor cells by blocking cholesterol side-chain cleavage, but human and rat cells showed minimal sensitivity.

This study found that the progesterone metabolite 3α-THP increased the proliferation and gene expression of human glioblastoma cells, suggesting a role in tumor progression.

This study found that treatment with a GnRH agonist and estrogen and progestin replacement significantly improved hirsutism scores and hair growth rates in women with polycystic ovarian disease.

This review discusses recent advancements in female contraception and covers topics like adapted regimens, non-invasive sterilization, and the promise of new methods, but it reports no new clinical findings.

This review discusses the diverse pharmacological activities of misoprostol across multiple health conditions but reports no new clinical data, highlighting potential applications beyond its traditional uses.

This study found that progesterone pretreatment in rats potentiated the effect of ethanol on mesocortical dopamine levels, suggesting an influence of neuroactive steroids on ethanol's action.

This study found that chronic exposure to and withdrawal of progesterone influenced the expression and function of GABA A receptors in rat hippocampal neurons through its metabolite 3α,5α‐THPROG.

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

This study found that medroxyprogesterone acetate and ethinyl estradiol with drospirenone were the most frequently prescribed medications for PCOS, with some patients experiencing drug changes or discontinuation due to side effects or therapeutic failure.

This review discusses contraceptive options for adolescent girls, highlighting potential recommendations and contraindications, and reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that a combined oral contraceptive containing ethinyl estradiol and desogestrel appeared effective in temporarily treating ovarian hyperandrogenism in adolescents, with reductions in hormone levels and ovarian volume observed.
