This study found that a specific amino-pyridine compound showed potent androgen receptor antagonist activity, stimulating hair growth in mice and reducing sebum production in a hamster model.

This study found that men with persistent sexual side effects after using finasteride for androgenetic alopecia had higher androgen receptor expression in certain tissues compared to those who never used the drug.

This review examines the methods and challenges in androgen laboratory diagnostics, discussing their advantages, limitations, and evolution; it presents no new experimental results.

In this study, researchers found no significant differences in the serum levels of DHEAs, DHT, and testosterone between female patients with oral lichen planus and healthy controls, suggesting no neuroendocrine etiology is associated with this condition.

This review discusses the diagnostic criteria and management strategies for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) and highlights the need for comprehensive clinical assessment, but does not report new clinical findings.

This review discusses the complexities in diagnosing polycystic ovary syndrome and emphasizes the need for individualized assessment based on each patient's specific symptoms and history, but reports no new results.

This study found that a self-assessed modified Ferriman-Gallwey score of 10 or higher indicates excess body hair, and suggests androstenedione measurement should accompany testosterone when evaluating hyperandrogenism.

This study found no significant differences in sex-hormone binding globulin and androgen serum levels between women with stage II androgenetic alopecia and controls, suggesting that genetically-determined androgen sensitivity might play a major role in the condition.

This study found that serum 3α-androstanediol glucuronide levels were higher in Indian women with female pattern hair loss and correlated with the severity of the condition.

This review discusses the embryology, structure, and function of sebaceous glands and their involvement in skin disorders but reports no novel findings.

In this study, biochemical and clinical hyperandrogenism in PCOS were found to be distinct entities with no strong androgen correlation to clinical symptoms like acne or hirsutism.

This review discusses the role of androgens in women's skin-related conditions like acne, hirsutism, and female pattern hair loss, noting the lack of dermatology guidelines for when to pursue endocrinologic evaluation.

In this study conducted at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, researchers reported that males with androgenetic alopecia had significantly higher levels of serum LH, prolactin, testosterone, DHEA-S, and free androgen index, and lower levels of serum FSH and SHBG compared to those without hair loss.

This study developed a new measurement procedure using isotope dilution-liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry for accurate quantification of DHEAS in human serum or plasma, demonstrating high selectivity, sensitivity, and low measurement uncertainty, making it suitable for routine standardization and clinical evaluation.

This study found that some synthesized 17-oximino-5-androsten-3β-yl esters demonstrated stronger cytotoxicity and antiandrogenic activity against prostate cancer cells than finasteride.

This review discusses the evolution of diagnostic criteria for polycystic ovary syndrome and emphasizes its association with various metabolic and cardiovascular risks, but it provides no new research findings.

This article reviews assessment and management strategies for adolescent females with excessive hair growth and highlights the importance of evaluating potential androgen sources.

This study found that hairline measurements in white Spanish women differ from those previously reported for American women, which may be important for hair transplantation evaluations in alopecia cases.

This paper discusses hormonal therapy options for women with severe acne, focusing on treatment for cases that do not respond to conventional methods, but it reports no new clinical findings.

This guideline discusses the evaluation and treatment of hirsutism in premenopausal women, recommending oral contraceptive pills or antiandrogens as initial therapies with weak support from low-quality evidence.

This abstract does not provide study results but outlines that acne is influenced by factors like androgens, sebum production, abnormal keratinization, and inflammatory reactions involving lymphocytes, macrophages, and neutrophils.

This review discusses diagnostic approaches for women with diffuse, nonscarring hair loss and reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the need to update the Rotterdam diagnostic criteria for polycystic ovarian syndrome, highlighting issues with current definitions and proposing new markers like serum anti-Müllerian hormone, but reports no new clinical results.

This discussion covers various nail disorders, including tumors and non-neoplastic issues, emphasizing that not all nail abnormalities are due to fungal infections, but it reports no new clinical findings.

This study describes the case of a Filipino woman with virilisation, where a rare ovarian Leydig cell tumour was identified and removed, normalizing her testosterone levels.

This article explores evidence for a rational strategy in the endocrine and metabolic management of patients with excess body hair or scalp loss and reports no new clinical results.

This case report describes a 72-year-old woman with a steroid cell tumor of the ovary, highlighting the critical role of imaging, biochemical evaluation, and pathology in diagnosing and managing hormonally active ovarian tumors that cause virilization in postmenopausal women.

This study found that women with female pattern hair loss had significant hormonal imbalances, specifically involving adrenal androgens, suggesting these may play a central role in the condition's development.

This study found that among Korean patients with androgenetic alopecia, a significant portion had a family history, and pelvic ultrasound showed increased rates of abnormalities in female patients, although not recommended as a routine test.

Excessive hair growth in women can be treated with medications like spironolactone and finasteride, and male-pattern baldness in women can be improved with similar treatments.
