Higher androgen levels during puberty are linked to shorter adult height in boys with Silver-Russell syndrome.
research Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia
Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia is a rare inherited disease causing hormone imbalances, affecting growth, fertility, and heart health, diagnosed through blood tests and treated with medication and lifestyle changes.

research The Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and Acne
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) often leads to severe acne, and lifestyle changes and hormonal treatments can help manage it.
research Helpful diagnostic markers of steroidogenesis for defining hyperandrogenemia in hirsute women
The study concluded that androstendione and DHEA are important for diagnosing high male hormone levels in women with excessive hair growth.
research A Large Benign Adrenocortical Adenoma Cosecreting Testosterone and Cortisol
A woman's rare benign tumor that released both cortisol and testosterone was successfully removed, improving her health.
research Hair cortisol in drug-naïve first-episode individuals with psychosis
First-episode psychosis patients have higher hair cortisol levels, indicating early stress response issues.
research Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH) But Not Alpha-Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone (a-MSH) as a Mediator of Adrenalectomy Induced Hair Growth in Mink
ACTH promotes hair growth in mink, but α-MSH does not.
research Testosterone: The Male Sex Hormone

research Central precocious puberty secondary to peripheral precocious puberty due to a pineal germ cell tumor: a case and review of literature
A pineal tumor caused a boy's early puberty, which changed from peripheral to central after treatment.
research Pharmacology of antiandrogens
Antiandrogens affect androgen-dependent body functions and are used for various medical conditions, with some risks like fetus feminization, but new forms like 17α-propylmesterolone show promise for acne without systemic effects.
research Targeting the pre-receptor metabolism of cortisol as a novel therapy in obesity and diabetes
Blocking a specific enzyme might help treat obesity and diabetes, but more research is needed to ensure it's safe.
