research 212 DISTURBANCES OF REPRODUCTIVE FUNCTION IN WOMEN WITH PITUITARY ADENOMA
Women with pituitary adenomas often have reproductive issues, like irregular periods and trouble getting pregnant, but not always breast milk production without pregnancy.
research A functional study of a case of glucagonoma exhibiting typical glucagonoma syndrome
A pancreatic tumor caused high glucagon levels and symptoms, but treatment reduced glucagon and shrank liver tumors.
research Machine learning-based steroid metabolome analysis reveals three distinct subtypes of polycystic ovary syndrome and implicates 11-oxygenated androgens as major drivers of metabolic risk
PCOS has three subtypes, with 11-oxygenated androgens increasing metabolic risk.
research Hirsutism and Virilization in the Female
The chapter explains the causes of excessive hair growth and masculinization in women and how to measure hormone levels related to these conditions.
research Correlation of clinical and biochemical hyperandrogenism in Thai women with polycystic ovary syndrome
Blood tests are needed to confirm high male hormone levels in women with PCOS, as physical signs alone are not reliable.
research ODP342 Panhypopituitarism Induced by CTLA-4 and PD-1/PD-L1 Inhibitor Immunotherapy
Immunotherapy for cancer caused a patient to develop a condition affecting hormone production, requiring ongoing hormone replacement therapy.
research Case 5: A Very Tall 7-year-old Boy with Medulloblastoma
A 7-year-old boy with a brain tumor developed early puberty, which was successfully treated with medication.
research Hyperandrogenism: Acne and Hirsutism
Hyperandrogenism in women often causes acne and excess hair, treatable with lifestyle changes and medications.
research 9 Diagnosis and therapy of hyperandrogenism
Most women with too much androgens have PCOS, which can be managed with birth control pills, medication for hair growth, and fertility treatments, and losing weight helps too.
research [Hirsutism].
Hirsutism is excessive male-pattern hair growth mainly caused by ovarian hormones, and severe cases may require costly treatment with side effects.
research SAT378 Unusual Case of Hirsutism From Prolactinoma Induced Dihydrotestosterone Elevation
A woman's excessive hair growth was linked to a rare case of high testosterone caused by a prolactin-producing pituitary tumor.
research Adult Onset Isolated Hypogonadotropic Hypogonadism- a Cause of Secondary Amenorrhea
A 23-year-old woman's missed periods were caused by a rare genetic disorder treated with hormone patches.
research Testosterone (T) secreting tumor or insulin resistance? metformin (M) as a diagnostic (Dx) and therapeutic (Rx) trial
Metformin can help diagnose and treat high testosterone levels in women, often due to insulin resistance rather than a tumor.

research Premature adrenarche, polycystic ovary syndrome and intrauterine growth retardation: does a relationship exist?
Low birthweight and rapid weight gain after birth may increase the risk of developing polycystic ovary syndrome.
research Hyperandrogenic eumenorrheic NON-PCOS women versus women with PCOS after the GnRH-agonist stimulation test preceded by suppression of adrenal steroidogenesis with dexamethasone
PCOS women have more severe metabolic issues and higher androgen levels than hyperandrogenic women without PCOS.
research The hyperandrogenic-insulin-resistant acanthosis nigricans syndrome: therapeutic response
Most patients improved with oral contraceptives, but some needed additional treatment.
research Glioblastoma cells express crucial enzymes involved in androgen synthesis: 3β‐hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, 17‐20α‐hydroxylase, 17β‐hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase and 5α‐reductase
Glioblastoma cells can make androgens, which might help the tumor grow.
