UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D011085	Polycystic Ovary Syndrome	A complex disorder characterized by infertility, HIRSUTISM; OBESITY; and various menstrual disturbances such as OLIGOMENORRHEA; AMENORRHEA; ANOVULATION. Polycystic ovary syndrome is usually associated with bilateral enlarged ovaries studded with atretic follicles, not with cysts. The term, polycystic ovary, is misleading.

D006913	Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenases	Enzymes of the oxidoreductase class that catalyze the dehydrogenation of hydroxysteroids. (From Enzyme Nomenclature, 1992) EC 1.1.-.	Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase,Dehydrogenase, Hydroxysteroid,Dehydrogenases, Hydroxysteroid
D017588	Hyperandrogenism	A condition caused by the excessive secretion of ANDROGENS from the ADRENAL CORTEX; the OVARIES; or the TESTES. The clinical significance in males is negligible. In women, the common manifestations are HIRSUTISM and VIRILISM as seen in patients with POLYCYSTIC OVARY SYNDROME and ADRENOCORTICAL HYPERFUNCTION.
D042842	11-beta-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenases	Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases that catalyzes the reversible conversion of CORTISOL to the inactive metabolite CORTISONE. Enzymes in this class can utilize either NAD or NADP as cofactors.	11 beta-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase,11-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase,11B-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase,11beta-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase,Corticosteroid 11-Oxidoreductase,Corticosteroid 11-Reductase,Cortisone 11-Oxoreductase,11 Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase,11 beta Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase,11 beta Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenases,11-Oxidoreductase, Corticosteroid,11-Oxoreductase, Cortisone,11-Reductase, Corticosteroid,11B Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase,11beta Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase,Corticosteroid 11 Oxidoreductase,Corticosteroid 11 Reductase,Cortisone 11 Oxoreductase,Dehydrogenase, 11 beta-Hydroxysteroid,Dehydrogenase, 11-Hydroxysteroid,Dehydrogenase, 11B-Hydroxysteroid,Dehydrogenase, 11beta-Hydroxysteroid,Dehydrogenases, 11-beta-Hydroxysteroid,beta-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase, 11
