research ODP537 A 1.6cm Androgen Secreting Ovarian Leydig Cell Tumor Evades Detection on Multiple Imaging Modalities
A woman's small ovarian tumor causing high androgen levels was missed by several scans but found during surgery.
research 896 Androgens activate lipogenesis through an AKT-independent mTOR pathway stimulation and a limitation of autophagy in an androgen-sensitive sebocyte cell line
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) increases oil production in skin cells by activating mTOR, and mTOR inhibitors can reduce this effect.
research Association between the serum estrone-to-estradiol ratio and parameters related to glucose metabolism and insulin resistance in women with polycystic ovary syndrome
Higher estrone-to-estradiol ratios are linked to worse glucose metabolism and insulin resistance in women with PCOS.
research Gender Differences in Mouse Skin Morphology and Specific Effects of Sex Steroids and Dehydroepiandrosterone
Male and female mice have different skin thickness, and hormones affect their skin and hair growth differently.
research Sex differences in steroid levels and steroidogenesis in the nervous system: Physiopathological role
Men and women have different levels and production of brain steroids, which may affect their risk for certain brain disorders.
research The influence of non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA) on the ovarian production of androgens in a context of in vitro fertilisation (IVF) – preliminary results
High levels of fatty acids are linked to increased androgen production and inflammation in women with PCOS, which may affect IVF outcomes.
research Stress-Induced Deoxycorticosterone-Derived Neurosteroids Modulate GABAAReceptor Function and Seizure Susceptibility
Stress increases neurosteroids that help prevent seizures.
research Natural Molecules in the Management of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS): An Analytical Review
Natural molecules like inositols, resveratrol, vitamins, and omega-3 fatty acids may help manage Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), but their effects vary and need more exploration.
research P-12 ACTH-INDEPENDENT CUSHING SYNDROME WITH INCONCLUSIVE ADRENAL CT SCAN RESULTS
Ketoconazole improved symptoms of ACTH-independent Cushing syndrome despite inconclusive initial scans.
research The Acute Anticonvulsant Effects of Deoxycorticosterone in Developing Rats: Role of Metabolites and Mineralocorticoid‐receptor Responses
Deoxycorticosterone and its metabolites help prevent seizures by interacting with specific receptors.
research In vivo response of GsdmA3Dfl/+ mice to topically applied anti-psoriatic agents: effects on epidermal thickness, as determined by optical coherence tomography and H&E staining
Betamethasone dipropionate reduced skin thickness, fish oil increased it, and combined treatment had no significant effect.
research Synthesis and biological evaluation of 3-tetrazolo steroidal analogs: Novel class of 5α-reductase inhibitors
3-tetrazolo steroidal analogs can strongly inhibit the enzyme linked to hair loss.
research Cutaneous xanthomas in homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia: A 12-year follow-up
Women with PCOS often have hirsutism and skin changes, which indicate a need for metabolic health checks.
research Diagnostic Challenges in Ovarian Hyperthecosis: Clinical Presentation with Subdiagnostic Testosterone Levels
Ovarian hyperthecosis can cause symptoms even with normal testosterone levels, and surgery can improve these symptoms.
research Dihydrotestosterone, and Not Testosterone, Enhances the LPS-Induced Inflammatory Cytokine Gene Expression in Human Adipocytes
Dihydrotestosterone boosts inflammation in fat cells more than testosterone.
research Hormonal Profile and Anthropometric Indices As Determinants of Metabolic Risk in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: A Prospective Observational Study
Women with PCOS have hormonal imbalances and increased central obesity, highlighting the need for early detection and management.
research Spatiotemporal Expression, Distribution, and Processing of POMC and POMC-derived Peptides in Murine Skin
POMC-derived peptides are important for skin functions like immune response and stress management.
research The Role of Androgens in Health and Disease in Females: A Narratıve Review
Androgens affect many aspects of female health, and more research is needed to understand their roles and treatment potential.
research POSTMENOPAUSAL VIRILIZATION
Thorough evaluation is crucial for postmenopausal women with virilization to detect rare ovarian tumors.
research Transcriptome Analysis Reveals Skin Lipid Metabolism Related to Wool Diameter in Sheep
Lipid metabolism affects wool thickness in sheep.
research 17 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 3 deficiency in the Mediterranean population.
A genetic defect causes males in some Mediterranean populations to be born with ambiguous genitalia and develop male traits at puberty.
research Postmenopausal ovarian hyperandrogenism of surgically treated patients: a case report and scoping review with individual patient’s data analysis
Biochemical markers help diagnose ovarian tumors in postmenopausal women.
research Antihormonal properties of some new A-homo-B, 19-dinor steroids of the androstane series
New A-homo-B, 19-dinor steroids showed strong antiandrogenic activity without affecting the enzyme 5α-reductase or androgen receptor binding.
research SAT-134 Postmenopausal Virilization: Rare Case of an Ovarian Tumor Not Easily Identified on Imaging
An ovarian tumor caused a woman's male-like symptoms, which improved after surgery.
research [Commentary] The Polyfollicular Anovulatory Androgenic Syndrome: A New Label for an Old Syndrome
Mohamed Kandil suggests renaming Polycystic Ovary Syndrome to "Polyfollicular Anovulatory Androgenic Syndrome" to better describe its symptoms, but concerns exist that it may not cover all related issues like obesity and depression.
