Women with acne after adolescence are more likely to have PCOS and should be checked for it.

This study suggests that certain electrical settings may enhance hair growth by stimulating dermal papilla cell proliferation and increasing gene expression related to hair growth in vitro and in rabbit skin.

This case report details a 7-year-old Shih Tzu with pituitary-dependent hyperadrenocorticism, where initial trilostane treatment did not improve skin conditions, necessitating a dosage increase.

In this study, a dog with canine pattern alopecia showed improved multifocal alopecia and general hair regrowth after 3 months of melatonin treatment.

This case report describes a 6 1/2-year-old girl with significant height growth and early pubic hair development.

This case report suggests that isolated amylase deficiency can lead to failure to thrive in children, and pancreatic enzyme supplementation may improve associated symptoms.

This study suggests that human scalp hair follicles express erythropoietin and its receptor, up-regulating receptor expression under hypoxic conditions, and may mimic another hypothalamus–pituitary axis equivalent involving the TRH-TSH system.

This article discusses the complex condition of polycystic ovary syndrome and its modern management, emphasizing it as a multisystem disorder with significant impacts on patients' well-being.

This study found that 5 alpha-dihydrotestosterone increased pigmentation in dorsal spots and scrotal skin of prepubertal male Syrian hamsters, while estradiol decreased scrotal skin melanocytes and reversed androgen-induced pigmentation in costovertebral spots.

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.

This study reported that paracrine factors, such as IGF-I and SCF, were reduced in balding hair follicles compared to non-balding ones, while inhibitory factors like TGFß-1 were increased, providing insights into the androgen action in hair follicles.

Hormonal differences affect male pattern baldness.

This review discusses human sebocyte in vitro models for studying sebaceous gland function and control but reports no new clinical results, highlighting hormonal effects and the impact of retinoids on sebocyte activity.

This study reported that ovulatory PCOS is a milder form of the condition compared to classic PCOS phenotypes, which share similar clinical and hormone characteristics.

In this study, the prevalence of polycystic ovary syndrome in southern China was found to be 2.2%, with affected women showing distinct metabolic and hormonal characteristics compared to others.

This review discusses the complexities of interpreting thyroid function tests, highlighting the challenges primary care providers face due to patient demand and misinformation, but reports no new results.

This article reviews the molecular mechanisms involved in androgenetic alopecia and the androgen's paradoxical role in hair growth, but reports no new experimental findings.

In this study, significant elevations of DHA and testosterone were associated with pubic hair development and voice changes in boys during puberty.

In this study, spearmint tea significantly reduced testosterone levels and improved self-reported hirsutism in women with PCOS, but did not change objective hair growth scores over the short trial period.

This study found that in captive mouflon rams, reproductive and physical maturation, marked by changes in hormone levels and physical attributes, progresses gradually across their life span, with sexual maturity tied closely to physical maturity.

This article emphasizes the importance of thyroid function monitoring and management in women, particularly for those planning pregnancy or postpartum, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that nafarelin treatment significantly reduced androgen levels and improved hirsutism symptoms in women, suggesting it may be useful for managing this condition.

This study found that treatment with leuprolide plus cyclic estrogen/progestin may lead to a faster and greater improvement in hirsutism compared to a standard oral contraceptive regimen.

This study suggests that the structure and function of mouse melanocytes in the epidermis and hair bulb are influenced by genetic factors and local tissue environment, including hormones and growth factors.

This study found that the pituitary gland is crucial for normal pelage color cycles in weasels, with certain hormones influencing regrowth of pigmented or white hair after molting.

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.

This study suggests that decreased SHBG levels and increased FAI, free testosterone, and DHEAS concentrations are effective in diagnosing PCOS in epidemiological studies of women of reproductive age.

This article discusses the potential role of a local skin POMC system in the murine hair cycle and cutaneous stress responses, with no new results presented.

This study found that myo-inositol treatment reduced hirsutism and acne in women with PCOS by improving their metabolic profiles, including lower insulin and testosterone levels.

This study observed that injecting mice with α-MSH resulted in black hair regrowth in shaved and plucked areas, suggesting a potential link to the agent darkening hair in animals with a specific pituitary tumor.
