This case study reported that absence of alopecia does not reliably predict responsiveness to vitamin D treatment in Vitamin D-dependent rickets type II, as demonstrated by a patient with normal hair growth who showed extreme resistance.

This article reviews androgen insensitivity syndrome and highlights the factors contributing to phenotypic diversity in 46,XY patients with AR gene mutations, reporting no new clinical results.

This source reports that PCOS, a complex endocrinal condition, is characterized by hyperandrogenism, which leads to symptoms like hirsutism, acne, and alopecia; genetic factors and hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis disruption play significant roles in its development, but more research is needed to understand these mechanisms fully.

This study found that PSA concentrations in peripheral blood are related to androgen levels, suggesting that PSA is a valuable marker for diagnosing hyperandrogenism in women.

This review summarizes the proposed model that describes how different shapes of 1alpha,25(OH)2D3 ligands interact with the vitamin D receptor to mediate genomic and rapid responses in cells.

This article reviews genetic and phenotypic aspects of androgen insensitivity syndromes, emphasizing the diversity of mutations that complicates molecular screening and the importance of genotype-phenotype correlations.

This review discusses the biochemical properties and clinical significance of 5 alpha-reductase isozymes and reports no new clinical results.

This study demonstrates that Puerariae Lobatae Radix may regulate skin lipid metabolism by inhibiting sebaceous gland growth and reducing triglyceride secretion, highlighting its therapeutic potential for sebaceous gland-related conditions.

This review discusses potential links between early-onset androgenetic alopecia and exposure to endocrine disruptors in adolescents, but reports no clinical results; the authors suggest further investigation.

This review discusses the potential carcinogenic effects of anabolic androgenic steroids, particularly regarding Leydig cell tumors, and highlights the need for preventive information campaigns due to associated health risks.

This study identified a novel V26M mutation in the vitamin D receptor as the cause of hereditary vitamin D resistant rickets in a patient, characterized by severe rickets and an unusual pattern of alopecia.

This review discusses the steroidogenic properties of human skin and suggests that impaired steroidogenesis may be linked to conditions like acne, rosacea, atopic dermatitis, and androgenic alopecia, but reports no new clinical results.

High testosterone to epitestosterone ratio in hair could predict male-pattern baldness.

This review discusses the pharmacologic properties, mechanisms, dosing options, and adverse effects of systemic glucocorticosteroids in dermatology, but reports no new findings.

This study found that compound 2g inhibits steroid sulfatase effectively without exhibiting estrogenic activity, making it a promising candidate for breast cancer treatment.

This study found that mitotane causes specific changes in cortisol metabolism, including increased excretion of certain metabolites, which may influence cortisol bioavailability without hindering early detection of adrenocortical carcinoma recurrence.

This review discusses the structure and function of steroid nuclear receptors, particularly focusing on androgen receptor dysregulation in prostate cancer and androgen insensitivity syndromes, without reporting new experimental results.

This study found that a novel missense mutation in the vitamin D receptor caused hereditary 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D-resistant rickets with alopecia by disrupting protein function, highlighting the importance of DNA binding in hair development.

This article reviews emerging opportunities and challenges in male reproductive medicine, including advancements and unmet needs in erectile dysfunction, androgen deficiency, and fertility, but reports no new clinical findings.

This review discusses steroid cell tumors of the ovary, their hormone production, symptoms, and evaluation, emphasizing surgery as the key treatment approach; it reports no new clinical results.

In this study, human hair follicles showed varying expression of cholesterol transport proteins during the hair cycle, suggesting a potential role of cholesterol in hair growth and cycling.

This case study highlights the significance of early diagnosis and treatment of Cushing's syndrome during pregnancy, as it is associated with severe maternal and fetal complications, including stillbirth.

This study suggests that in rat skin, testosterone itself may play a more significant role in androgen action than 5α-dihydrotestosterone, unlike in the prostate where 5α-DHT is more dominant.

This study used homology modeling to create a detailed in silico structure of 5α-reductase type II, suggesting it can aid in designing steroid reductase drugs.

In this case report, the authors describe a partial androgen insensitivity syndrome patient with a novel AR gene mutation, highlighting challenges in gender assignment decisions for infants with partial AIS.

This study found elevated unoccupied type II GC receptors and decreased thioredoxin levels in alopecia areata patients' scalps, which may explain the variable effectiveness of glucocorticoid treatment for hair regrowth.

This review examines AAS-related deaths and finds that anabolic-androgenic steroid abuse may lead to severe cardiac abnormalities, contributing to fatal arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death in young athletes and bodybuilders.

In this prospective study of 135 women with hirsutism, researchers reported that treatment approaches varied, with oral contraceptives, dexamethasone, and metformin widely used, and emphasized a holistic approach including lifestyle changes and mental health support to effectively manage the condition.

This review examines the clinical features, causes, diagnosis, and treatment of Chrousos syndrome but reports no new experimental findings on this condition.

This article discusses testosterone production in the human body and its effects on muscle mass, bone density, metabolism, and skin, but reports no new findings.
