This case report describes a 15-year-old girl with severe hyperandrogenaemia linked to both an ovarian androgen-secreting tumor and HAIR-AN syndrome, highlighting the complexity of diagnosing polycystic ovarian syndrome.

In this study, women with suspected PCOS who reduced their intake of sweets, fatty red meat, and alcohol for over 6 months showed significantly lower total testosterone levels compared to those who did not, highlighting the benefit of targeted dietary changes on hormonal profiles.

This case report details a post-menopausal woman with hirsutism and virilization due to rare Leydig cell tumors in both ovaries, underscoring the challenge of detecting such tumors with standard imaging.

This article reviews the characteristics and classification of SAHA syndrome and its relationship with other conditions, without presenting new clinical findings.

This study suggests that chemotherapy-induced anagen effluvium represents patterned hair loss, with most patients retaining hairlines, but patterns do not vary significantly by age, symptoms, or chemotherapy type.

This review highlights that idiopathic hirsutism is characterized by local hyperandrogenization affecting hair growth, without other signs of hyperandrogenism, and shows no new results; racial differences in prevalence are noted but not in androgenic steroids.

This study identified the location of the genetic locus for the slick hair coat trait in cattle on bovine chromosome 20, which may contribute to heat tolerance.

This study found that male pattern baldness and a history of severe acne were inversely associated with testicular germ cell tumors, while taller height showed a positive association.

This study found that higher BMI in PCOS patients at a Chinese clinic was associated with functional disorders of androgen excess, suggesting BMI may predict hyperandrogenism in this population.

This study concluded that 16β-methyl-17α-benzoyloxypregnen-4-en-3,20-dione may be a promising treatment for androgen-dependent diseases and epilepsy due to its antioxidant effects and impact on GABAergic and serotonergic metabolism in rats.

This review highlights that bicalutamide, a non-steroidal antiandrogen used in prostate cancer treatment, is mainly effective through its (R)-enantiomer and emphasizes the need to monitor its adverse effects despite its targeted antiandrogenic action.

This article reviews the traditional uses of Citrullus colocynthis for various conditions like cancer and jaundice but reports no new clinical results, underscoring its role in folk medicine.

In this study, adding α-lactalbumin to myo-inositol treatment improved ovulation rates, menstrual cycle duration, and hyperandrogenism in women with PCOS more effectively than myo-inositol alone, suggesting potential benefits for those resistant to inositol treatment.

This review discusses various diagnostic and treatment strategies for canine prostate diseases, including pharmacological options and advanced procedures, but reports no new clinical results.

In this study, FMN was found to inhibit androgen receptor function and androgen-regulated gene expression in prostate cancer cells, suggesting potential as an antiandrogen therapy.

This article reviews the role of androgen in male pattern hair loss and its impact on hair follicle miniaturization, but it does not present new research findings.

This study found that women with polycystic ovary syndrome have higher global adiposity and increased visceral fat, particularly in the ip and mesenteric depots, compared to women without androgen excess.

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

In this study, treatment with insulin sensitizers significantly increased adipose tissue GLUT4 mRNA expression and improved insulin resistance, menstrual patterns, and androgen profiles in PCOS patients, with rosiglitazone being more effective than metformin.

This study found that 42% of red yeast rice dietary supplements did not list monacolin concentrations on their labels, and only half of those that did contained the declared amounts.

This article addresses the mechanisms of androgenic alopecia and seeks to clarify misconceptions, but it reports no new empirical findings and calls for further controlled studies.

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.

This study concludes that high skin 5α-reductase activity may contribute to hirsutism, but the specific regulatory mechanisms and genetic factors remain unclear.

This article discusses the complexities of androgen and antiandrogen therapies in women, detailing diagnostic measures, the effects on libido, and the potential benefits of new progestins with antiandrogenic properties, but presents no new empirical findings.

This study found that serum androgen levels were associated with the severity of hirsutism in women, with significantly higher levels observed in those with moderate to severe hair growth.

This study employed multiple linear regressions to analyze hydantoin analogues and produced a model with strong predictive abilities for designing new androgen receptor modulators.

This article discusses the development of a transdermal testosterone patch for postmenopausal women to deliver physiological testosterone levels but reports no new clinical results, highlighting a need for long-term safety data.

This study describes a method to estimate endogenous hormone production by neutralizing an endogenous hormone with an oppositely acting hormone.

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 article argues that androgen sensitivity could be a key factor in the severity of COVID-19, suggesting that trials with anti-androgen agents may be warranted.
