This study found that women with lower 2D:4D ratios and fewer middle-phalangeal hairs reported more adverse side effects from oral contraceptives, suggesting these features may predict hormonal contraceptive side effects.

This meta-analysis found that chromium supplementation was associated with decreased insulin resistance but increased testosterone levels in women with PCOS, with no significant benefits for other metabolic or hormonal indexes.

This guideline discusses the evaluation and treatment of hirsutism in premenopausal women, recommending oral contraceptive pills or antiandrogens as initial therapies with weak support from low-quality evidence.

This study found that GnRH agonist treatment improved hirsutism scores more than finasteride after six months in women with idiopathic hirsutism, with both treatments causing no menstrual abnormalities or side-effects.

This study observed that adding simvastatin to ongoing metformin treatment reduced certain androgen levels in women with non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia and abnormal glucose metabolism, suggesting a potential therapeutic benefit.

This study suggests that long-term use of hair dyes may be associated with higher testosterone levels among premenopausal Japanese women.

This study reported that in embryo transfer cycles for women with nonclassic 21-hydroxylase deficiency, dexamethasone use was associated with improved pregnancy rates, and maintaining a BMI below 23.36 kg/m² increased pregnancy probabilities.

This case report discusses a postmenopausal woman whose hyperandrogenism and metabolic symptoms improved significantly after the surgical removal of an ovarian Leydig cell tumor, confirmed post-operatively.

This review describes two cases of young women with primary amenorrhea and hyperandrogenemia, suggesting that adrenal tumors should be considered in patients with significantly elevated circulating testosterone levels.

This review discusses the characteristics of benign biphasic ovarian neoplasms called adenofibromas and reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that an 8-week supplementation with specific probiotic strains improved hormonal markers and oxidative stress while decreasing inflammation in women with PCOS, although clinical symptoms like acne and hirsutism showed no significant improvement compared to the placebo group.

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.

This study found that canrenone significantly reduced hair growth and decreased certain androgen levels in women with idiopathic post-puberal hirsutism, suggesting potential effectiveness as a treatment.

Hair loss in postmenopausal women due to ovarian hyperthecosis is rare, but removing the ovaries can significantly improve the condition.

This case report describes a rare instance of virilizing androgen production due to an ovarian serous cystadenoma in a 59-year-old woman, with testosterone levels normalizing after its removal.

Opioid use may lower PSA levels, suggesting a possible role in prostate cancer control; PSA testing is useful for detecting prostate cancer; serum triglycerides are not linked to prostate cancer risk; and higher urethral PSA levels may be associated with local hormone activity.

In this study, researchers found that increased androgen levels, such as testosterone, and insulin resistance are strongly associated with more severe acne in adult women, along with a higher incidence of menstrual irregularities and PCOS characteristics.

This case report details a 73-year-old woman with significant hirsutism and hair loss linked to a rare ovarian Leydig cell tumor, which was resolved by bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, normalizing her testosterone levels and addressing her symptoms.

This case study reports that a 16-year-old girl with hirsutism and menstrual irregularities was diagnosed with a benign steroid cell ovarian tumor, after high testosterone levels indicated a potential androgen-secreting source.

In this study, 12 months of cyproterone acetate and ethinyl oestradiol treatment significantly reduced hair growth rate and certain hormone levels in hirsute women, though hair density and prolactin levels remained unchanged.

This study reported that women with acanthosis nigricans and insulin resistance often exhibit signs of hyperandrogenism, including hirsutism, and have elevated fasting plasma insulin compared to controls.

This article reviews how various hormones may affect female sexual function and provides recommendations for diagnosing and treating endocrinologic sexual difficulties, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study found that combining a GnRH agonist with a low-dose oral contraceptive was more effective in treating hirsutism than either agent alone and prevented hypoestrogenic side effects.

In this study, ketoconazole treatment improved acne in all women and reduced hirsutism in some, but it caused several side effects and requires careful monitoring.

This study reports that oophorectomy significantly reduces serum testosterone levels in postmenopausal women, indicating the postmenopausal ovary's continued production of testosterone.

In this study, idiopathic hirsutism was identified as the most common cause of hirsutism among the participants, with a significant difference in hormone levels between cases of polycystic ovarian syndrome and idiopathic hirsutism.

This case report describes a 65-year-old postmenopausal woman with hyperandrogenism caused by a non-malignant ovarian Leydig cell tumor, which is a rare cause of virilization.

This study found that cutaneous manifestations such as hirsutism, acne, and acanthosis nigricans in women with PCOS correlate significantly with hormonal imbalances and insulin resistance.

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 delivering math1 via an adenovector led to vestibular hair cell regeneration and improved balance function in ototoxin-treated adult mice.
