January 2018 in “Reproduction, Fertility and Development” This study concluded that cyproterone acetate alone produced antiandrogenic effects on the female gerbil prostate, while ethinyloestradiol alone stimulated estrogenic activity, and their combination led to prostatic lesions.
December 2024 in “Animals” In this study, researchers found that RORA directly regulates the expression of the Bnip3 gene, which is crucial for hair follicle stem cell health, using rat HFSCs as a model. They propose that targeting RORA could modulate HFSC status.

April 2022 in “Biomedicines” This study found that SARS-CoV-2 infection was associated with significant upregulation of miR-371a-3p in testicular tissues and serum, leading to androgen receptor downregulation and decreased spermatogenesis in patients.
