research MON-024 Steroid Cell Tumor, Not Otherwise Specified; A Rare Case of Hyperandrogenism
A rare ovarian tumor caused high male hormone levels, but surgery fixed it.
research Serum C-19 steroid sulphates in females with clinical hyperandrogenism
Women with hyperandrogenism have higher androgen levels and lower SHBG, which may contribute to conditions like excessive hair growth and early puberty.
research 5-Alpha-reductase deficiency in a Saudi "girl"
A Saudi individual initially identified as a girl had a genetic disorder affecting gender development.
research Urinary steroid metabolome shows adrenal, gonadal, and neuroactive steroid dysregulation in adolescents with depression
