This case study describes a 15-year-old girl with a Sertoli–Leydig cell tumor who showed high androgen levels and steroidogenic responses similar to patients with polycystic ovary syndrome before surgery.

This study found that testosterone levels are commonly low among men with type 2 diabetes, and most of these men exhibit symptoms of hypogonadism, with BMI being a significant risk factor.

This study examined a case of postmenopausal virilization in a woman and found that despite normal imaging, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy revealed rare ovarian Leydig cell and Brenner tumors as the source of hyperandrogenism, with symptoms resolving post-surgery.

In this study of healthy men, low levels of testosterone and dihydrotestosterone were associated with higher body mass index, fat content, and insulin resistance, but their effects on lipid and glucose metabolism were similar in quality.

This review discusses the challenges in measuring testosterone for assessing androgen excess in women and emphasizes the importance of quality control in laboratory methods, but it reports no new clinical results.

This case report highlights a rare ovarian steroid cell tumor as the cause of androgen excess in a 36-year-old woman and underscores the importance of thorough preoperative workup to avoid unnecessary surgery.

This study found that salivary testosterone concentrations correlated better with hirsutism in women compared to serum testosterone measures, suggesting it may be an effective method for assessing bioavailable testosterone.

This review discusses the importance of androgen production and metabolism in hyperandrogenism, the use of specific serum markers for diagnosis, and the need for improved assays for clinical testing, but reports no new results.

This study aims to evaluate the prevalence of androgenetic alopecia in transgender men undergoing testosterone therapy, noting that such hormone treatment can lead to dermatological issues that significantly affect their quality of life. Results are not reported in the abstract.

This Mendelian randomization study reports that lifelong increased free testosterone in males was associated with improved bone mineral density and body composition but increased risks of prostate cancer, hypertension, and several other conditions.

In this animal study, administering testosterone alongside a 5α-reductase inhibitor counteracted testosterone's effects on prostate enlargement while preserving its beneficial effects on muscle and bone.

Ovarian hyperthecosis caused high testosterone and virilization symptoms in a 60-year-old woman, which improved after surgery.

This case report and literature review describes a 27-year-old woman with a Sertoli Leydig cell tumor causing testosterone-related symptoms and highlights normalization of hormone levels after surgical treatment.

This article reviews existing knowledge on postmenopausal hyperandrogenism and highlights diagnostic challenges, reporting no new clinical results.

This report describes a 19-year-old male with 49,XXXXY syndrome receiving testosterone replacement therapy, which led to improvements in reproductive development, metabolism, and social interaction after a year of treatment.

This article reviews considerations and guidelines for testosterone therapy in older men with low testosterone levels but does not provide new clinical results, emphasizing the need for ongoing evaluation and careful management, particularly regarding risks related to prostate and cardiovascular health.

The woman's symptoms and tests suggest her adrenal glands are producing too many male hormones.

In this case study, a woman with congenital adrenal hyperplasia experienced substantial improvement in musculoskeletal and neurobehavioral symptoms after low-dose testosterone therapy, highlighting its potential role in managing chronic glucocorticoid overtreatment effects.

New treatments for male hypogonadism are effective and should be personalized.

This study concluded that the best approach for detecting Androsta-1,4,6-triene-3,17-dione administration in horses is monitoring the metabolites M1b or M4 in urine, detectable up to 77 hours post-administration.

This study found no association between circulating androgens and prostate cancer risk, underscoring the complex role of androgen metabolism in the prostate.

This study found that increased serum testosterone and dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate levels may serve as diagnostic markers for seborrheic meibomian gland dysfunction in both genders.

This case study reports that a 61-year-old woman with high testosterone levels due to stromal luteoma of the left ovary experienced rapid normalization of testosterone levels after surgical removal of the tumor.

This study found that finasteride decreased plasma dihydrotestosterone levels and altered steroid metabolism, similar to the profile of male pseudohermaphrodites with inherited 5a-reductase deficiency.

This study found significant gender differences in total testosterone and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate levels among noncritical COVID-19 patients, which were associated with severity markers in males.

In this study, researchers found that transgender men exhibited impaired autonomic modulation during sympathetic stimulation compared to cisgender women, potentially due to testosterone treatment affecting cardiac autonomic modulation.

This study found that combining oral testosterone with dutasteride increased testosterone bioavailability in hypogonadal men while suppressing dihydrotestosterone levels over a 28-day period.

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.

In this case study, a 62-year-old woman with severe hyperandrogenism underwent a clomiphene test, which suggested an ovarian origin for her condition, leading to the discovery of a Leydig cell tumor after a bilateral oophorectomy.

This case report describes a postmenopausal woman who experienced facial erythema, acne, and hirsutism due to excess androgen and estrogen levels.
