Men with male-pattern baldness have higher levels of certain testosterone metabolites and may have more active androgen metabolism.

Some women with excess hair growth have a hormone condition that can't be diagnosed by blood or urine tests alone.

The research found that measuring androgens in urine can give extra information about body metabolism and is linked to androgen levels in the blood, especially in young girls.

Young girls whose mothers have PCOS may have higher activity of a specific enzyme that could lead to developing PCOS later.

Finasteride doesn't affect antipyrine metabolism, so interactions with cytochrome P-450 enzyme drugs are unlikely.

The study found that urine metabolites M1b or M4 are the best indicators of ATD use in horses, with detection possible up to 77 hours in urine and 28 hours in blood.

Minoxidil metabolizes similarly in monkeys and humans, but differently in dogs and rats.

Using 17-hydroxyprogesterone levels to diagnose nonclassic congenital adrenal hyperplasia can result in many incorrect diagnoses.

A yeast-based test can detect the steroid methyltestosterone in urine longer than traditional methods.

The method effectively detects banned substances in urine for sports antidoping.

Testosterone is crucial for development, growth, and various body functions in mammals.

The document suggests a possible link between mast cells and scarring alopecia, recommending more research for potential treatments.

Minoxidil was first made for high blood pressure, but it was later found to help hair growth.

Some hair loss and prostate drugs might increase the risk of diabetes and heart disease.

Oral retinoids are effective for treating severe skin disorders but have reversible side effects and risks for pregnant women.

Minoxidil levels measured in human blood.

The girl's unexpected pubic hair growth led to a diagnosis different from complete androgen insensitivity syndrome.

Insulin resistance is a key factor in polycystic ovary syndrome, but genetics may also contribute.

Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia is a genetic disorder with two forms, causing symptoms like early puberty and severe acne, but can be identified through screening and treated with glucocorticoids.

Most women with hirsutism or androgenic alopecia had polycystic ovaries, especially if they had irregular periods.

Hirsutism is more linked to high androgen levels than acne or hair loss, and a mix of hormonal tests is best for diagnosis; certain treatments can reduce symptoms.

The conclusion is that managing androgen excess requires long-term treatment, including hormonal contraceptives and androgen blockers, with follow-up after six months.

Impaired androgen production in 46,XY DSDs causes ambiguous genitalia and requires long-term care.

Taking L-tryptophan supplements might cause a condition similar to scleroderma in some people, which can get better after stopping the supplement and starting corticosteroid therapy.

MendelVar is a tool that helps identify important genes by combining GWAS data with Mendelian disease information.

Dianabol boosts muscle growth but has serious health risks and legal issues.

Zolpidem shows up in hair from the top back of the head after one dose and fades over time, suggesting it gets into hair through blood and sweat.

A 24-year-old woman had a rare ovarian tumor that caused male-pattern hair growth and was hard to diagnose and treat.

A young woman had a rare, aggressive ovarian tumor that was hard to diagnose and treat, leading to disease progression despite treatment.
