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 study found that in women with acne vulgaris, lower serum levels of 3α-androstanediol-glucuronide suggest reduced 5α-reductase activity compared to controls, indicating that 5α-reductase inhibitors may not be effective for acne treatment.

This study concluded that serum Adiol-G levels generally parallel testosterone levels and, therefore, do not effectively serve as a marker of peripheral androgen excess in women with androgenic symptoms.

This study found that plasma 3 alpha-diol glucuronide was markedly elevated in women with idiopathic hirsutism, suggesting it may be a marker of peripheral androgen action.

This review examines the physiological role of androgen conjugates in cutaneous androgen metabolism and questions their association with hirsutism, without presenting new clinical findings.

In this study, researchers identified two potential urinary biomarkers, testosterone–glucuronide and 11α-hydroxyprogesterone, along with four candidate biomarkers, to help understand and diagnose polycystic ovary syndrome.

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 review discusses the use of anabolic-androgenic steroids in sports and outlines current methods for detecting urinary steroid doping, particularly testosterone, but reports no new experimental findings.

This study observed that ethyl glucuronide (EtG) concentrations in hair decreased significantly during an abstinent period, suggesting possible wash-out effects or other factors affecting EtG levels.

This study found that androsterone glucuronate (ADT-G) was the only androgenic metabolite sensitive to detecting differences between adult women with acne and controls, and its levels decreased with systemic treatment.

This paper reviews current knowledge about androgens' role in androgenic alopecia and female hirsutism but presents no new clinical findings.

This review discusses the potential of using human hair proteomics for non-invasive diagnostic and forensic applications but reports no new results; the authors highlight areas needing further research.

This study suggests that chest, arm, leg, and beard hair samples may be viable alternatives to scalp hair for monitoring long-term alcohol intake, although body hair is more typically collected from men.

In this study, researchers found that while chest hair can be a reliable alternative to scalp hair for ethylglucuronide testing, seasonal factors may affect concentration levels and should be considered in result interpretation.

This article provides citations without reporting new findings on androgen conjugate levels in alopecia.

Minoxidil quickly leaves blood, turns into urine metabolites, and has lasting blood pressure-lowering effects.

This study identified previously unknown phase I and phase II metabolites of finasteride in human bile and urine using a specialized bile collection technique and advanced mass spectrometry analysis.

This case report describes a man who ingested a large amount of topical minoxidil solution and experienced serious and prolonged cardiovascular effects despite rapidly decreasing serum concentration levels.

This study analyzed the geometric and electronic properties of baicalin conformers, finding that BCLa2TT and BCLa1TT conformers exhibit high stability in aqueous solutions and are favorable for interactions with positively charged species.

This study found that the metabolic profile of finasteride in pigs closely matches that of humans, supporting the use of pigs for studying human drug metabolism.

This study concluded that finasteride, cyproterone acetate, and flutamide were similarly effective at reducing hirsutism in women, though they acted through different mechanisms.

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

This chapter reviews the causes and underlying steroid pathways of hirsutism and virilization in women, detailing relevant conditions and laboratory assays without reporting new clinical results.

This study used a zebrafish model and advanced mass spectrometry to identify 11 metabolites of epristeride, revealing significant effects on purine metabolism and aromatic amino acid biosynthesis, which may aid in developing anti-doping detection methods.

This study reported that compounds isolated from Alpinia zerumbet significantly promoted hair cell growth and exhibited anticancer activity in cell cultures, suggesting potential as treatments for alopecia and cancer.

This study found no significant differences in hormone levels between postmenopausal women with androgenetic alopecia and healthy controls, suggesting potential alternative causes for the condition.

This review describes how liver and kidney diseases and diabetes may affect ethyl glucuronide levels in hair, impacting forensic and clinical interpretations, but reports no new experimental results.

This study developed and validated a comprehensive method using mass spectrometry to profile sex (pro)hormones in plasma, with results showing reliable calibration and detection of 31 analytes in samples from pre- and postmenopausal women and men, while addressing potential over- or underestimations in analyte concentrations.

This study found that different species metabolized minoxidil into various products, with monkeys and humans showing similar profiles primarily excreting a glucuronide conjugate, while rats and dogs showed distinct differences.
