This study found that GnRH-A treatment significantly reduced hirsuties scores in women with mild idiopathic hirsuties but did not affect hair growth rate or diameter.

This study found that metabolic syndrome was more prevalent among androgenetic alopecia patients than controls, with higher serum RANTES levels suggesting a potential role in the syndrome's pathogenesis.

This article discusses the controversy over serum ferritin levels in diagnosing iron deficiency in women with hair loss but reports no new findings, emphasizing the need for consistent reference ranges.

This article reports no new data; it describes the role of sebum in influencing the skin microbiome and epithelial tissues and discusses its altered composition during transit through the sebaceous duct.

In this study, researchers found that human scalp hair, particularly when unwashed, can significantly react with ozone, reducing personal ozone exposure and increasing exposure to volatile reaction products.

This study describes a family with X-linked gynecomastia and undervirilization in men, finding a subtle androgen receptor abnormality that may not always lead to infertility despite androgen resistance.

In this study, captive gray seals exhibited increased resting metabolic rates and elevated thyroid hormone levels during the final stage of molting, with more pronounced changes in juveniles.

This article challenges the idea that low serum ferritin is not associated with chronic diffuse telogen hair loss by questioning the validity of 'normal' serum ferritin reference ranges.

In this study, hair loss after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy was associated with zinc and iron levels, even within normal ranges, and a combined variable of zinc and iron predicted susceptibility to hair loss.

In this study on rats, valproic acid was associated with reduced biotinidase enzyme activity and higher alopecia rates, but biotin supplementation did not significantly affect alopecia occurrence.

In this study, researchers examined thyroid function and autoantibody levels in patients with alopecia areata and vitiligo, finding similar rates of thyroid dysfunction and autoantibody presence in both groups, with no significant differences based on ethnicity or gender.

This study found that while serum zinc levels were lower in children treated with valproic acid or carbamazepine than in healthy controls, zinc, biotin, and biotinidase enzyme activity remained within normal ranges and unaffected by these treatments.

This study presented a new method for accurately measuring Fe³⁺ in small serum samples, achieving high recovery rates and agreement with established testing methods, while offering advantages such as cost-effectiveness, simplicity, and enhanced sensitivity.

This study found that a targeted iron supplementation program prevented anemia and improved blood return rates among premenopausal female blood donors with iron deficiency.

This study found that reducing the particle size of Tetrastigma hemsleyanum powders improved both dissolution rates and antioxidant activity, suggesting potential benefits for enhancing hepatoprotective effects.

This study concluded that combining letrozole with cabergoline improved ovulation and clinical pregnancy rates in patients with polycystic ovarian syndrome and hyperprolactinemia compared to letrozole alone.

In this study, insulin resistance was observed at similar rates in non-obese women with idiopathic hirsutism, those with PCOS, and healthy controls.

This study assessed malnutrition among 657 internally displaced school-aged children in Cameroon, finding high rates of stunting (27.1%), wasting (23%), thinness (21.6%), underweight (20.1%), anemia (30%), low serum iron (44.5%), and poor protein status (35.7%), highlighting the urgent need for nutrition interventions.

This study found a high prevalence of clinical signs and functional disorders of androgen excess in premenopausal women, with idiopathic hyperandrogenism and idiopathic hirsutism rates similar to PCOS.

In this study, goat hair follicles cultured in serum-free medium grew faster than those in medium with serum, and growth rates increased with the addition of VEGF and EGF.

This review discusses the relationship between hyperandrogenic conditions like PCOS and COVID-19, noting that while hyperandrogenic women have varied hospitalization rates, they do not show increased mortality, and suggests isotretinoin as a potential therapeutic option for cutaneous symptoms.

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.

This study found that a medicated shampoo containing selenium sulfide and salicylic acid effectively reduced symptoms of seborrheic dermatitis in Chinese patients, but females experienced significantly lower rates of good effectiveness and tolerance compared to males.

In this study, the researchers developed an optimum liquid shampoo formula using chia plant components and found it to meet specific physical characteristics and stability requirements, with viscosity and foam height tested within acceptable ranges.

This study observed that androgen levels rise with pubic hair development in Tanner stages, differing by sex and age, with DHEA showing a significant prepubertal increase especially in precocious adrenarche.

This study developed and validated a highly sensitive method using ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry for accurately analyzing nine neuroactive steroids in human serum, which could enhance understanding of disease pathophysiology and support new biomarker and therapeutic discovery.

This review article describes the ingredients and evaluation tests for formulating a hair serum aimed at improving hair growth and preventing hair loss, highlighting the roles of Citrus sinensis, Nigella sativa, flax seed, and coconut oil in addressing hair and scalp health.

This study investigated the development of a polyherbal cosmeceutical serum containing extracts from five herbal drugs as a potentially safer treatment for alopecia areata, assessing its properties and stability.

This study observed that testosterone concentrations in hair segments show some stability over time, but are influenced by factors like sebum integration, hair washing frequency, and individual hair growth rates.

This study found that premenopausal women with female-pattern hair loss had significantly lower serum vitamin D levels compared to healthy controls, suggesting a potential role of vitamin D deficiency in this condition.
