research Remarks on the Hormonal Background of the Male Equivalent of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Men might have a version of the female disease, polycystic ovarian syndrome, shown by changes in hormone levels and early baldness, but more research is needed to fully understand it.
research Androgen binding profiles of two distinct nuclear androgen receptors in Atlantic croaker (Micropogonias undulatus)
Different types of androgens bind differently to two receptors, AR1 and AR2, in Atlantic croaker's brain and ovarian tissues, suggesting these receptors may control different androgen actions in fish.
research Altered Hormone and Bioactive Lipid Plasma Profile in Rodent Models of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome Revealed by Targeted Mass Spectrometry
Rodent models of PCOS show some hormone changes similar to humans, but also have key differences.
research Postmenopausal hyperandrogenism of ovarian origin
Postmenopausal women with excess male hormones may have ovarian tumors, and surgery usually cures them.

research [Clinical significance of testosterone and dihydrotestosterone metabolism in women].
Antiandrogens and finasteride may help treat excess hair and hair loss in women.
research Idiopathic hirsutism: Is it really idiopathic or is it misnomer?
Idiopathic hirsutism might not be truly idiopathic but could be an early stage of hyperandrogenic disorders.
research Treatment guidelines in adult women
Hormonal therapy is effective for treating acne in adult women, especially with signs of high androgen levels.
research Impact of estrogens in males and androgens in females
Both estrogens and androgens are important for health in both males and females.
research Polycystic ovary syndrome and insulin-resistant hyperinsulinemia
Insulin resistance contributes to hormone imbalances in many women with polycystic ovary syndrome.
research Genetics and Epigenetics of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Genes and epigenetic changes are important in the development of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.
research Stromal Cells of the Human Postmenopausal Ovary Display a Distinctive Biochemical and Molecular Phenotype
Postmenopausal ovary stromal cells have a unique makeup and limited steroid production, suggesting androgens come from the adrenal gland.
research Gut–ovary axis and multiomic insights into PCOS in a DHEA-induced rat model
Gut microbiota and metabolic pathways may play a key role in PCOS development.
research Frontal fibrosing alopecia: Iatrogenic endocrine disruption
Certain drugs and supplements may contribute to hair loss in the frontal hairline in older women.
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 Apparent Cortisone Reductase Deficiency: A Rare Cause of Hyperandrogenemia and Hypercortisolism
Cortisone reductase deficiency can cause high androgen and cortisol levels and may be missed in women with similar symptoms.
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 The efficacy of an adjuvant norethisterone (jenapharm) therapy in endometrial cancer
Norethisterone (jenapharm) therapy is effective for endometrial cancer.
research The therapeutic use of androgens in women
Testosterone replacement may improve sexual desire and bone health in women with low androgen levels, but more research is needed on its long-term safety.
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.
research Divergent neuroactive steroid responses to stress and ethanol in rat and mouse strains: relevance for human studies
Stress and alcohol affect brain chemicals differently in rats, mice, and humans, influenced by genetic differences.
research Ovarian Leydig cell tumor in a post-menopausal patient with severe hyperandrogenism
An 81-year-old woman's severe male hormone symptoms were caused by an ovarian tumor, which was treated with surgery.
