This review discusses hormone replacement therapy for menopausal women, emphasizing DHEA's unique ability to convert into sex steroids only in targeted tissues, and reports no new clinical results.

This study found that the prevalence of polycystic ovary syndrome was 6.5% in a minimally biased sample of Caucasian women from Spain.

This study found a 6.5% prevalence of polycystic ovary syndrome among a population of Caucasian women in Spain, based on specific endocrine criteria.

This study concluded that albumin-bound testosterone is biologically important and significantly contributes to testosterone bioavailability in women receiving spironolactone.

This review discusses the physiological process of adrenarche, its impact on behavior and skeletal maturation, and its variability across sex and race, but reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the various dermatological applications of zinc, including its use in treating infections, inflammatory dermatoses, pigmentary disorders, and neoplasias, and reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that spironolactone reduced serum androstenedione and anagen hair shaft diameter in hirsute patients but did not significantly alter unbound testosterone levels, suggesting its effects are primarily peripheral.

This study introduced a validated LC-MS/MS-based method for profiling long-term steroid concentrations in human scalp hair, offering potential applications in endocrinology research.

This study found that approximately 75% of women with PCOS exhibited hyperandrogenemia, with free testosterone being the most frequently elevated marker.

In this study, copper-doxorubicin liposomes with multidose therapy reduced systemic toxicity compared to ammonium sulfate-loaded doxorubicin liposomes, while combinatorial strategies further enhanced tumor regression and accumulation.

This study found that ovarian suppression significantly reduced serum testosterone and androstenedione in women with polycystic ovarian syndrome and idiopathic hirsutism, with hair growth rates decreasing more in polycystic ovarian syndrome.

This review discusses unique stroke risk factors in women, such as hormonal and reproductive influences, and highlights the need for further research to better predict and manage these risks.

This review summarizes the cutaneous manifestations of lupus erythematosus, noting both non-specific and disease-specific lesions, and highlights the role of skin biopsies and treatments available for cutaneous LE.

This study suggests that reversible hypopigmentation in homocystinuric patients may result from tyrosinase inhibition by homocyst(e)ine, with in-vitro experiments showing copper sulfate reversing this inhibition.

In this study, transgender adolescents treated with testosterone for a median of 12 months experienced effective virilization, including voice deepening and increased hair growth, but also showed decreased HDL cholesterol and BMD z-scores, and increased hematocrit, with no short-term safety issues reported.

This review assesses the benefits and limitations of various supramolecular hydrogels, including polymeric and peptide-based types, for wound healing, but reports no new clinical results.

This study analyzed the distribution of adhesion molecules and extracellular matrix components in human fetal skin, suggesting their roles in hair follicle development.

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 review examines the evaluation and management of hirsutism and hyperandrogenism in postmenopausal women and reports no new clinical findings.

This chapter discusses androgen receptors and protein synthesis in the prostate, reporting that DHT-dependent receptor protein translocation increases protein-synthesizing activity after androgen injection in rat models.

This study identified novel compounds from Bombax ceiba stem bark, including shamimicin, with potent hypotensive effects, and reported that a specific fraction had adverse effects on heart, liver, and kidneys in mice.

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.

This study found that free testosterone levels were a more sensitive indicator of hyperandrogenism in women with acne than total testosterone levels.

This report suggests that clinically inapparent sweat gland tumors might influence hair loss in a specific patient case.

This study suggests men with early androgenetic alopecia might have hormonal profiles similar to women with polycystic ovarian syndrome, potentially indicating risk for related health complications.

This study developed a sensitive method to precisely determine hair lipid composition, demonstrating specific lipid changes from the root to the tip in untreated hair fibers from two women.

This study found that transgenic mice overexpressing the SSAT gene under a metallothionein promoter suffered delayed hair loss and were highly sensitive to polyamine analogues, which led to significant liver changes and mortality.

In this study, researchers differentiated induced pluripotent stem cells into cells with dermal papilla-like properties, demonstrating their potential role in hair follicle bioengineering and drug testing for hair growth.

This review suggests that oral prednisolone pulse therapy and oral inosiplex may be effective for alopecia areata, but robust evidence from randomized controlled trials is lacking, highlighting the need for better-designed future studies.

This study found that both finasteride and flutamide effectively reduced hirsutism in women with polycystic ovary syndrome, decreasing the Ferriman-Gallwey score and hair diameter without significant side effects.
