Thyroid-stimulating hormone affects hair follicles but doesn't change hair growth or color.
research An integrative view of mammalian seasonal neuroendocrinology
The article concludes that better understanding gene regulation related to seasonal changes can offer insights into the mechanisms of seasonal timing in mammals.

Thyroid hormone receptors are essential for hair growth and wound healing.
research Skin diseases in consequence of endocrine alterations
Hormone imbalances can cause skin diseases, and understanding these links is important for diagnosis and treatment.
research Co-secretion of testosterone and cortisol by a functional adrenocortical oncocytoma
A woman's rare adrenal tumor caused high testosterone and cortisol levels, which normalized after the tumor was removed.
research Menopausal Acne – Challenges And Solutions
