60-90 / 1000+ results research Regression of Pathologic Changes Induced by the Long-term Administration of Contraceptive Steroids to Rodents
Some steroid-induced health issues in rodents improved after stopping treatment, but hair loss and eye problems did not.
research Establishment and identification of immortalized sheep ovarian granulosa cells
A stable sheep ovarian cell line was created for studying reproduction and hormones.
research Non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia
Non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia is a common disorder causing symptoms like acne and infertility, and it's managed based on symptoms, not just test results. Treatment can improve fertility and reduce miscarriage risk.
research 6450 Leydig Cell Tumor: A Rare Cause of Post-menopausal Hyperandrogenism
Leydig cell tumors can cause high testosterone and symptoms like hair loss in postmenopausal women, but surgery can improve these symptoms.
research No metabolic impact of surgical normalization of hyperandrogenism in postmenopausal women with ovarian androgen-secreting tumours
Surgery to lower high testosterone in postmenopausal women with certain ovarian tumors doesn't significantly affect their metabolism.
research Ovarian Hilus-Cell Hyperplasia and High Serum Testosterone in a Patient With Postmenopausal Virilization
A woman's male-like symptoms and high testosterone were due to ovarian hilus-cell hyperplasia, which improved after surgery.
research Hyperandrogenism in a Postmenopausal Woman Secondary to Testosterone Secreting Ovarian Stromal Tumor with Acoustic Schwannoma
A 63-year-old woman's male-like symptoms were caused by a rare testosterone-producing ovarian tumor, treated by removing her ovaries and fallopian tubes.

Lichen Planopilaris and Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia may help us understand hair follicle stem cell disorders and suggest new treatments.
research Disappearance of a virilizing adrenal tumor following therapy with cyproterone acetate
A woman's adrenal tumor disappeared after treatment with cyproterone acetate.
research Discriminating between virilizing ovary tumors and ovary hyperthecosis in postmenopausal women: clinical data, hormonal profiles and image studies
The research found that MRI and certain hormone levels can help tell apart ovarian tumors from hyperthecosis in postmenopausal women, but tissue analysis is still needed for a definite diagnosis.
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 Ovarian leukocyte distribution and cytokine/chemokine mRNA expression in follicular fluid cells in women with polycystic ovary syndrome
Women with PCOS have fewer activated T cells in their ovarian follicles, which might affect fertility.
research Female Progressive Scalp Hair Loss Associated with Ovarian Thecoma
A woman's hair loss was linked to a rare hormone-secreting ovarian tumor, treated with surgery and hair loss medication.
research Differences in cell subsets between sun-exposed and unexposed skin: preliminary single-cell sequencing and biological analysis from a single case
Sun-exposed skin shows different cell activity and gene expression, suggesting targets to prevent skin aging and cancer.
research Outcome and clinical–biological characteristics of patients with advanced breast cancer undergoing removal of ovarian/pelvic metastases
Patients with advanced breast cancer and high hormone receptor levels who had surgery for ovarian/pelvic metastases lived longer, especially if they had high estrogen receptor levels.
research Fibrothecoma of Ovary with Virilizing Features
A rare ovarian tumor can cause unusual male-like symptoms, but surgery usually leads to a good outcome.
research Ovarian Hemangioma With Stromal Luteinization
The removed ovarian tumor was a rare type of blood vessel tumor that improved the patient's symptoms and hormone levels after surgery.

research Pathogenesis and causes of hirsutism
Hirsutism is mainly caused by high androgen levels or sensitivity, with PCOS being the most common cause.
research Premature Adrenarche
Early adrenal gland maturation in young children can be normal, but other serious conditions should be ruled out first.
research Case Report: Disorder of Sexual Development in a Chinese Crested Dog With XX/XY Leukocyte Chimerism and Mixed Cell Testicular Tumors
