Stress can slow hair growth and affect skin color by impacting the body's stress response system.
research Efficacy and safety of glucocorticoids in the treatment of progressive muscular dystrophy in children: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Glucocorticoids for progressive muscular dystrophy in children don't improve muscle strength or function but do increase certain side effects.
research Multifunctional Merkel cells: Their roles in electromagnetic reception, finger-print formation, Reiki, epigenetic inheritance and hair form
Merkel cells may have roles in sensing magnetic fields, creating fingerprints, Reiki energy healing, passing on environmental information to offspring, and influencing hair shape.
research Anti-androgen therapy in dermatology: a review
Anti-androgens are effective for female acne but less so for male-pattern hair loss, with side effects similar to birth control pills.
research An N-Ethyl-N-Nitrosourea Induced Corticotropin-Releasing Hormone Promoter Mutation Provides a Mouse Model for Endogenous Glucocorticoid Excess
Researchers created a mouse model for Cushing's syndrome to study glucocorticoid excess and potential treatments.
research Compared to Controls, Individuals with Lichen Planopilaris Have More Depression, a Lower Self-Esteem, and a Lower Quality of Life
People with Lichen Planopilaris tend to be more depressed, have lower self-esteem, and a worse quality of life.
research Sex differences in the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis’ response to stress: an important role for gonadal hormones
Male and female bodies respond differently to stress, influenced by hormones and development stages, with implications for stress-related diseases.
research Polycystic ovary syndrome and insulin-resistant hyperinsulinemia
Insulin resistance contributes to hormone imbalances in many women with polycystic ovary syndrome.
research Ovarian hormones and adrenal androgens during a woman's life span
Women's ovarian hormones and adrenal androgens change throughout life, affecting hair loss and health.

People who carry the 21-Hydroxylase Deficiency gene are not more likely to have excessive male hormone levels.
research MELATONIN
Melatonin may help with sleep issues, depression, and cancer, but more research is needed.
research Stress-related skin disorders
Stress can worsen skin conditions by affecting hormone levels and immune response.
research Relationships between cerebrospinal fluid GABAergic neurosteroid levels and symptom severity in men with PTSD
Lower levels of certain brain chemicals are linked to worse PTSD symptoms in men.
research Chrousos syndrome: from molecular pathogenesis to therapeutic management
The review suggests thorough evaluation and genetic testing for proper diagnosis and treatment of Chrousos syndrome.
research Hirsutism: Evaluation and treatment
Excessive hair growth can be assessed by history, exam, and blood tests, and treated with medication like dexamethasone, birth control pills, and spironolactone.
research Adrenal Disorders and the Paediatric Brain: Pathophysiological Considerations and Clinical Implications
Adrenal disorders can cause lasting brain and behavior issues in children.
