Eric S. Knochenhauer,Timothy J. Key,Melissa Kahsar-Miller,W. Waggoner,Larry R. Boots,Ricardo Azziz +5 more
TL;DR: In a consecutive population of unselected women the prevalence of hirsutism varied from 2-8% depending on the chosen cut-off F-G score, with no significant difference between White and Black women.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aromatase deficiency in male and female siblings caused by a novel mutation and the physiological role of estrogens
TL;DR: A novel mutation in the CYP19 gene in a sister and brother exhibited the cardinal features of the aromatase deficiency syndrome as recently defined and was reported on.
Journal ArticleDOI
Salivary cortisol: a practical method for evaluation of adrenal function.
TL;DR: It is observed that Salivary cortisol was quite stable at room temperature without centrifugation and that salivary and plasma cortisol values were highly correlated, and a close correspondence in circadian and ultradian fluctuations in salivaries and Plasma cortisol is observed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dehydroepiandrosterone and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate production in the human adrenal during development and aging.
TL;DR: The adrenal of the adult responds to stress in many instances like that of the fetus: increased cortisol secretion and diminished DHEA/DS secretion, and the mechanisms for this divergence in the adrenocortical pathway is unknown.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ovarian and adrenal function in polycystic ovary syndrome
TL;DR: The most likely cause of the excessive androgen secretion by both glands seems to be abnormal regulation of the 17-hydroxylase and 17,20-lyase activities of P-450c17, the rate-limiting step in androgen biosynthesis.
