Untreated congenital adrenal hyperplasia can lead to complications like stroke and needs glucocorticoid treatment.
research The anti-androgen combination, flutamide plus finasteride, paradoxically suppressed LH and androgen concentrations in pregnant spotted hyenas, but not in males
Flutamide and finasteride reduced sex hormones in pregnant hyenas, but increased them in males.
research Effect of finasteride on adrenal steroidogenesis in men.
Finasteride, when taken daily, lowers dihydrotestosterone levels but doesn't noticeably affect adrenal steroid production, except by blocking the 5 alpha-reductase enzyme.
research Effect of a combination of ethinylestradiol and desogestrel in adolescents with oligomenorrhea and ovarian hyperandrogenism

Cyclosporine A therapy changes sex hormone levels differently in pre-menopausal and post-menopausal women with primary biliary cirrhosis.
research Establishing and Verifying a Robust Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry Method to Simultaneously Measure Seven Androgens Present in Plasma Samples
The method accurately measures seven androgens in plasma and shows different hormone levels in females with acne and obesity.
research Efficacy of low-dose GnRH analogue (Buserelin) in the treatment of hirsutism
Low-dose Buserelin effectively reduces hirsutism with minimal side effects.
research Obesity and hyperandrogenism are implicated with anxiety, depression and food cravings in women with polycystic ovary syndrome.

research Characteristics of phenotypes (clinical variants) of polycystic ovary syndrome in women of reproductive age
Most women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) have menstrual issues, infertility, acne, and excessive body hair, with the most common type being the non-androgenic phenotype.
research Cardiovascular risk in women with premature ovarian insufficiency compared to premenopausal women at middle age
Women with premature ovarian insufficiency have a worse cardiovascular risk profile than premenopausal women.
research Polycystic Ovarian Morphology is Associated with Hyperandrogenemia and Insulin Resistance in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
Women with PCOS and polycystic ovaries have higher male hormone levels and more insulin resistance, especially if they are overweight.
research Visual Vignette
The woman's symptoms and tests suggest her adrenal glands are producing too many male hormones.
research Sequential estrogen-progestin addition to gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist suppression for the chronic treatment of ovarian hyperandrogenism: a pilot study.
The treatment effectively reduced hair growth and was safe for patients with PCOS, but it needs better bleeding control.
research Sex steroid levels in corresponding cerebrospinal fluid and serum samples quantified by mass spectrometry in men
DHEA is the main sex steroid in cerebrospinal fluid, and testosterone in the fluid comes from the blood.
research Practical approaches to the use of markers of biochemical hyperandrogenism in women
Accurate diagnosis and treatment of hyperandrogenism in women require comprehensive evaluation of symptoms and hormone levels.
