In this study, researchers found no hypertrophy in axillary sweat glands of hyperhidrotic patients, with eccrine gland clear cells being the primary site of fluid transport and no evidence of apoeccrine glands.

This research reports that many acne patients have elevated androgen levels, contributing to a cycle that may lead to polycystic ovarian disease and potentially sterility.

This study found that girls with prepubertal simple hypertrichosis had significantly higher plasma levels of dihydrotestosterone compared to controls, which does not align with other androgen markers and warrants further investigation.

This review discusses the causes, symptoms, and management of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) without presenting new clinical results.

Finasteride may decrease semen quality but not harm sperm production, and stopping the drug can improve semen quality; hyperprolactinemia can cause infertility but is treatable with medication.

In this study, researchers developed a probiotic-based microneedle system combining Weissella cibaria and clascoterone to target androgenetic alopecia, which in a mouse model improved hair density, vascular regeneration, and reduced inflammation, suggesting a promising treatment approach.

This study suggests that proteins CHI3L1 and CXCL5, secreted by recovery-state dermal papilla cells, may promote hair growth by stimulating the proliferation of outer root sheath cells.

This book chapter reviews the genetic and epigenetic factors influencing PCOS, particularly in a global context and specific to India, and reports no new clinical findings.

This review discusses the degenerative effects of anabolic-androgenic steroids on the nervous system and reports no new experimental results, aiming to increase public awareness of their health risks.

This article reviews the use of hair cortisol concentration as a biomarker to assess long-term stress in both animals and humans, but it reports no new experimental results.

This study found that women with androgenic alopecia often have increased dihydrotestosterone levels, suggesting potentially enhanced activity of 5-alpha-reductase, with the saliva free testosterone level providing valuable hormonal background information.

This study presents a new LC-MS/MS method that allows for more accurate detection of seven steroid hormones in human hair, enhancing the specificity and reliability of hormone analysis in psychoneuroendocrinological research.

This study found that SDG did not significantly affect prostate weight in rats with BPH, but it may reduce serum PAP activity and alter prostate tissue changes induced by Testosterone Propionate.

This study found that pregnancies with gestational diabetes in a Midwestern U.S. cohort demonstrated elevated androgen levels compared to healthy controls, suggesting a common relationship between impaired glucose tolerance and hyperandrogenemia across diverse ethnic backgrounds.

This case study reported two instances of female androgenetic alopecia with male pattern reversed after surgical removal of an ovarian tumor.

This case study describes an 88-year-old postmenopausal woman diagnosed with Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor, a rare ovarian cancer, highlighting the importance of checking hormone levels in similar unexpected cases.

This study identified that biotin ingestion led to interference in immunoassay results, falsely indicating high testosterone and insulin levels in a 28-year-old female patient, thus complicating her clinical assessment and treatment planning until recognized and resolved.

This review discusses the relationship between hyperandrogenism and insulin resistance in PCOS, focusing on insulin dynamics, molecular mechanisms, genetic studies, and potential long-term treatments, but presents no new clinical results.

In this study, testosterone and finasteride were found to increase insulin and zinc levels while decreasing chromium levels in male adult rats, suggesting potential effects on the glucose cycle.

This review examines age-related changes in androgen levels in women and explores the rationale for testosterone replacement therapy, but it reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that MENT is 10 times more potent than testosterone in suppressing gonadotropins and contributing to anabolism in monkeys, with a potentially wider therapeutic index for human androgen replacement and male contraception.

Testosterone may both worsen and protect against COVID-19 effects in men.

This review discusses the diagnostic challenges of androgen and estrogen-secreting adrenal tumors and highlights that the presence of metastases is the most reliable indicator of malignancy; it reports no new clinical findings.

In this study, testosterone and certain metabolites were highly effective in promoting sebaceous structure growth in the female hamster flank organ, while others had limited or no effect.

This study found that variations in sleep patterns, free testosterone, and 5-alpha-reductase type 1 activity are associated with changes in sebum excretion in women, which may contribute to variability in acne studies.

This case report describes a 60-year-old postmenopausal woman with virilization and hirsutism caused by hilus-cell hyperplasia, which was confirmed following bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy.

This case report highlights that in postmenopausal women with severe hyperandrogenism, thorough adrenal and pelvic evaluations, hormonal profiling, and permanent pathology are essential for accurate diagnosis and management of androgen-secreting tumors, such as AGCTs, to prevent misdiagnosis and ensure effective treatment.

In this study of male patients with 46,XY 5α-reductase type 2 deficiency, DHT therapy was effective in achieving penile enlargement during infancy, while testosterone replacement therapy proved more beneficial during puberty, possibly due to increased conversion to DHT.

This case report highlights Leydig cell hyperplasia as a rare cause of increased testosterone and postmenopausal hirsutism, resolved after bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy in a 64-year-old woman.

This review describes the clinical features of testosterone deficiency syndrome in aging men but reports no new experimental findings, highlighting the need for clinical recognition and treatment of TDS.
