270-300 / 856 resultsresearch Endocrine Functions of the Testes
The testes produce important hormones like testosterone and others that play key roles in male body functions.
research Ovarian vein sampling, and serum and urine testosterone monitoring in ovarian Leydig cell tumors: A report of two cases
Ovarian vein sampling helped diagnose rare ovarian tumors causing high testosterone, and surgery to remove the tumors lowered the testosterone levels.
research Hyperandrogenic eumenorrheic NON-PCOS women versus women with PCOS after the GnRH-agonist stimulation test preceded by suppression of adrenal steroidogenesis with dexamethasone
PCOS women have more severe metabolic issues and higher androgen levels than hyperandrogenic women without PCOS.
research Alopecia areata as a clinical manifestation of autoimmune inflammation due to vitamin D deficiency
Lack of vitamin D might cause hair loss due to autoimmune problems, and fixing vitamin D levels could help treat it.
research Generalised Glucocorticoid Resistance
Generalized glucocorticoid resistance causes hormone imbalances and varied symptoms due to gene mutations.

Early recognition and multidisciplinary management of Whitaker syndrome can improve patient outcomes.
research Endocrinology
The document concludes that inflammation markers can be used in diabetes, vitamin D3 affects immune pathways, hyperthyroidism changes hormone levels, androgen levels help diagnose Adrenocortical Carcinoma, erectile dysfunction is linked to diabetes, hypogonadism is common in HIV-infected males, and hormones can be biomarkers for various conditions.
research The interplay of oxidative stress and immune dysfunction in Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and polycystic ovary syndrome: a comprehensive review
Oxidative stress and immune dysfunction are linked to both Hashimoto's thyroiditis and polycystic ovary syndrome, with diet and specific treatments important for managing these conditions.
research Human Skin is a Steroidogenic Tissue: Steroidogenic Enzymes and Cofactors Are Expressed in Epidermis, Normal Sebocytes, and an Immortalized Sebocyte Cell Line (SEB-1)
Human skin can produce steroids from cholesterol.
research A Comprehensive Review: The Bidirectional Role of Sebum in Skin Health
Sebum is essential for skin health but can cause acne if unbalanced.
research Plasma Diaphanous Related Formin 1 Levels Are Associated with Altered Glucose Metabolism and Insulin Resistance in Patients with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: A Case Control Study
Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) have lower levels of a substance called DIAPH1 in their blood, which is linked to changes in sugar metabolism and insulin resistance.
research Polycystic ovarian syndrome: Correlation between hyperandrogenism, insulin resistance and obesity
High levels of male hormones, insulin resistance, and obesity are closely linked and worsen polycystic ovary syndrome, but more research is needed to improve treatments.
research Basics of androgen synthesis and action
Androgens like testosterone are important hormones for both men and women, made differently in each sex and affecting the body by regulating genes and quick interactions with cell components.
research Testosterone therapy in men: Clinical and pharmacological perspectives
Testosterone therapy aims to treat hormone deficiencies and various conditions safely and effectively, but requires careful patient monitoring due to potential side effects.
research The investigation and management of severe hyperandrogenism pre- and postmenopause: Non-tumor disease is strongly associated with metabolic syndrome and typically responds to insulin-sensitization with metformin
High levels of male hormones in women without tumors are linked to metabolic problems and can be treated with metformin.
research Endocrine and metabolic comorbidities in juvenile-onset systemic lupus erythematosus
JSLE patients often have more hormone and metabolism issues, so regular check-ups and preventing obesity can help.
research Polycystic ovary syndrome and insulin-resistant hyperinsulinemia
Insulin resistance contributes to hormone imbalances in many women with polycystic ovary syndrome.

research Cutaneous manifestations of endocrine-metabolic disease and nutritional deficiency in the elderly
Skin problems in older people can indicate hormonal diseases, nutritional deficiencies, or conditions like diabetes, menopause, and HIV.
research Hirsuties
Hirsutism in women is often due to hormone sensitivity and has significant psychological effects.
research A Prospective Study of the Prevalence of Nonclassical Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia among Women Presenting with Hyperandrogenic Symptoms and Signs
About 2.2% of women with symptoms of high male hormones have a mild form of congenital adrenal hyperplasia, and measuring a specific hormone level can accurately diagnose it.
