Hyperandrogenism in Adolescent Girls
2012When the symptoms of hyperandrogenism are mild in an adolescent girl, it is difficult to establish whether they are related to the physiological androgenization of puberty or to an incipient disease. The most frequent etiology is the polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

Lipid Metabolism and Hyperandrogenism
Clinical Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1991Hyperandrogenism and lipid metabolism were shown to be related intimately. Any discussion of the nature of their relationship must include other clinical and metabolic variables such as hyperinsulinemia and UBO. Despite the many correlations among each of these factors, the appropriate sequence in the pathogenesis of these conditions has not been ...

Hyperandrogenism in Peripubertal Girls
Pediatric Clinics of North America, 1990Androgens arise from either adrenal or ovarian secretion or by peripheral conversion of secreted precursors. The adrenals and ovaries normally contribute about equally to testosterone and AD production. DHAS is the major adrenal 17-KS. Testosterone is the major circulating form of androgen.

Hyperandrogenism in female adolescents
The Journal of Pediatrics, 1993Female adolescence is normally accompanied by increased adrenal and ovarian production of androgens. Indeed it is not uncommon in early to midpuberty to see typical features of adult polycystic ovary syndrome, with luteinizing hormone-driven ovarian hyperandrogenism, hyperinsulinemia, acne, anovulation, oligomenorrhea, and large, multifollicular ...

AACE Hyperandrogenism Guidelines
Journal of the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners, 2001The problems associated with hyperandrogenism are not uncommon in primary care settings. In fact, polycystic ovary syndrome, a common cause of androgen excess, exists in 5% to 10% of women during their reproductive years, with onset typically in adolescence.

The etiology of hyperandrogenism in women
Current Opinion in Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1995This review considers recent evidence which has implicated steroidogenic alterations as elements on the etiology of the androgen excess associated with polycystic ovary syndrome. The importance of circulating dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate as a precursor for ovarian follicular testosterone is discussed and evaluated in the face of indications that the
