This case report describes a 57-year-old man's late diagnosis of X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy, highlighting the need to consider this condition in patients with non-autoimmune primary adrenal insufficiency and neurological issues.

This study found that men with adrenomyeloneuropathy often experience diffuse hair loss and severe male-pattern baldness, potentially due to the X-linked ALD mutation's role in androgenetic alopecia's genetic spectrum.

Men with Addison disease should be screened for X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy if they have hair loss.

ALDOA levels drop in hair cells during hair loss.

The anti-hangover product may boost enzyme activity to help prevent brain damage.

This study found that women with diffuse alopecia exhibited deficiencies in several trace elements, including sulfur, iron, and potassium, while men showed deficiencies in calcium, sulfur, and zinc.

This study found that the ethanol patch test effectively indicates the ALDH phenotype in healthy Japanese individuals, suggesting its usefulness for future research.

This study found that spironolactone directly inhibits 5 alpha-reductase activity in hirsute women, resulting in decreased conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone, which may contribute to its therapeutic effects.

In this study, skin manifestations were observed in 48% of children with primary immunodeficiency disorders, often providing crucial diagnostic clues for early identification of these conditions.

This review discusses the diagnosis, management, and hormone treatment of transsexual individuals, and examines the risks and effects of cross-sex hormone therapy without presenting new clinical results.

This study found that mouse skin can produce and metabolize serotonin and N-acetylserotonin, with activity influenced by location, physiological skin status, cell type, and mouse strain.

This review describes a practical approach for dermatologists to manage adult female acne using hormonal therapies and highlights the importance of identifying possible underlying endocrine disorders like PCOS, but it does not report new findings.

This case report found that a woman's hair loss, which progressed while using spironolactone and topical minoxidil, reversed after switching to flutamide therapy.

This case report describes a woman with Becker's nevus and ipsilateral breast hypoplasia who showed breast enlargement after one month of spironolactone treatment, suggesting a link between hypoplasia and increased androgenic receptor activity.

In this study, a 9-year-old girl with female pattern hair loss showed clinical improvement and hair regrowth after six months of daily oral spironolactone.

This case report describes a 50-year-old woman who developed drug-induced hepatitis after using spironolactone for androgenetic alopecia, with symptoms resolving upon discontinuation.

This study suggests that the anticonvulsant effects of deoxycorticosterone in young rats may be mediated by its metabolites and interactions with multiple receptors, including mineralocorticoid and progesterone receptors.

A woman with Degos disease managed her condition for nine years with medications and had two healthy pregnancies, while a separate finding suggests a possible link between female pattern hair loss and high blood pressure.

This case report describes the first confirmed instances of X-linked adrenomyeloneuropathy/adrenoleukodystrophy in two brothers from Bangladesh, noting their progressive neurological symptoms, MRI findings, and differing disease outcomes over several years of observation.

This review describes the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and management of adrenomyeloneuropathy, including rehabilitative therapies and spasticity management, and reports no new clinical results.

This study suggests that elevated aldosterone may contribute to androgenic alopecia development and its association with higher hypertension prevalence, emphasizing the importance of blood pressure screening in affected patients.

This study found that women with early-onset androgenetic alopecia had higher aldosterone levels and blood pressure, suggesting a possible link to the increased prevalence of hypertension in this group.

This study observed that in mouse hair follicles, enzymes Aldh1a2 and Aldh1a3 have distinct expression patterns that suggest they are involved in different signaling pathways during the hair cycle.

This study found that collagen remodeling is more active in anagen-stage skin than in telogen-stage skin in mice, suggesting that collagen modifications may support hair follicle growth and migration.

This article discusses oral spironolactone therapy for female patients with acne, hirsutism, or androgenic alopecia and reports no new clinical results.

This synopsis reviews key dermatological advancements discussed at the British Association of Dermatologists meeting in 2011 and reports no new clinical results.

This abstract does not report specific research results but introduces a book focusing on the intersection of endocrinology and aesthetic medicine and its growing importance in contemporary clinical practice.

This study reports that X chromosomes often show greater differentiation between human populations than autosomes, likely due to a mix of demography and selection pressures.

In this study, researchers identified a novel STS gene (c.287G > A; p.W96*) mutation in Pakistani individuals with X-linked ichthyosis, expanding the understanding of its genetic causes and aiding in genetic counseling.

In this study, a 37-year-old female with resistant hypertension and signs of Cushing's syndrome and primary aldosteronism was found to have normal cortisol levels but high levels of cortisol and aldosterone via adrenal venous sampling, leading to a diagnosis confirmed by right adrenalectomy.
