Women's ovarian hormones and adrenal androgens change throughout life, affecting hair loss and health.

This review discusses the relevance of human androgen receptor action in sports doping and examines the potential of cell-based biological assays for detecting androgenic anabolic steroid use, without presenting new research findings.

This article reports on a case where a 26-year-old woman with acromegaloidism was found to have X-tetrasomy, suggesting it should be considered in differential diagnoses due to its potential impact on growth-related genes.

This chapter reviews the biosynthesis, mechanism of action, and therapeutic effects of testosterone and related androgens, but reports no new research findings.

In this study, correlations between urinary and serum androgen metabolites were examined in girls aged 6-13, revealing that summed urinary metabolites strongly correspond with circulating androstenedione and testosterone levels, though individual variations depend on participant characteristics such as age and body measurements.

This research highlights that engineered mice lacking the vitamin D receptor show multiple health issues similar to human vitamin D deficiency, underscoring the widespread impacts of the vitamin D endocrine system.

This review discusses the hypothesis that polycystic ovary syndrome may originate in fetal life due to prenatal androgen exposure, but reports no new clinical results.

This paper discusses key mechanisms of androgen metabolism in androgenetic alopecia and reports the effectiveness of treatments like oral finasteride and topical minoxidil, highlighting the limited success rate due to factors like follicular inflammation.

This review discusses sex differences in the neuroendocrine response to stress, focusing primarily on rodent studies, and highlights open questions about the roles of gonadal hormones and sex chromosomes.

Androgens can cause hair growth in some areas and hair loss on the scalp.

This review discusses the mechanisms linking obesity and polycystic ovary syndrome and explores potential management options, but it presents no original research findings.

This review explores the role of hormones in pilosebaceous units and associated skin disorders, focusing on androgen action, without presenting new clinical findings.

This article discusses treatment approaches for female pattern hair loss and concludes that available medical treatments are effective in reversing or stabilizing the condition in most cases of mild-to-moderate severity.

This review highlights the efficacy of transdermal testosterone therapy in improving sexual function in women with hypoactive sexual desire disorder, though approved formulations and long-term safety data are limited.

This review examines the definition, etiology, pathogenesis, and clinical features of polycystic ovary syndrome but reports no new clinical findings.

This review discusses the relationship between insulin regulation and hyperandrogenemia in polycystic ovary syndrome, suggesting potential benefits of insulin-lowering treatments for ovarian function but reporting no definitive results for hair-related symptoms.

This study found that sex steroid hormone receptors are largely maintained during the transformation of skin appendages to neoplasms, except for androgen and estrogen receptors in sweat and sebaceous gland tumors.

This study found that daily consumption of soft drinks significantly increases the risk of moderate-to-severe acne in adolescents, particularly if sugar intake from these drinks exceeds 100 grams per day.

This study reports on eight previously unpublished cases of Bohring-Opitz syndrome with ASXL1 mutations, suggesting the importance of screening for Wilms tumors in these patients.

This review offers evidence-based recommendations for diagnosing and treating female pattern hair loss, emphasizing clinical assessment and starting treatment with minoxidil, while noting that measurement of certain hormones and vitamins is optional.

This review discusses the distinct clinical and psychological aspects of adult female acne and reports no new clinical results, highlighting the need for a comprehensive management approach.

This review summarizes causes and treatments of androgenetic alopecia with a focus on herbs as potential alternatives, but reports no new results and suggests more research is needed to validate these options.

This review discusses findings from genetic studies on acne, highlighting progress in understanding its molecular pathogenesis without reporting new clinical results.

This article provides a framework for understanding hair disorders and treatment options in transgender individuals undergoing hormonal therapy and reports no new clinical results.

This report presents the second known case of erythema nodosum without typical associated conditions, which could be linked to mycoplasma infection, although no testing was conducted to confirm this in the patient.

This review discusses the complex links between polycystic ovary syndrome, insulin resistance, and potential metabolic risks starting in adolescence, noting the need for early screening and treatment but reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the role of cholesterol homeostasis in hair follicle biology and its potential connections to various hair disorders, but it reports no new findings.
