This study found that wolves in heavily hunted areas of Canada's tundra–taiga exhibited higher levels of stress and reproductive hormones, indicating social instability and increased reproductive effort due to human-caused mortality.

This study successfully established and validated a method using LC-MS/MS to measure multiple androgens in plasma, finding that individuals with acne had higher levels of certain androgens compared to those with obesity.

This review discusses the relationship between gut microbiota and polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), including its potential mechanisms and the role of alterations in microbiome composition on PCOS pathophysiology.

Male hormones affect COVID-19 severity and certain drugs targeting these hormones could help reduce the risk.

This review examines the prevalence and symptoms of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) across different ages, highlighting its varied dermatological and reproductive implications, but reports no new research findings.

In this animal study, petroleum ether and ethanolic extracts of Abrus precatorius seeds appeared to reverse androgen-induced alopecia in male albino rats by inhibiting the 5α-reductase enzyme, similar to finasteride.

This study found that while rat models treated with letrozole and dihydrotestosterone exhibit altered sterol, leukotriene, and steroid hormone profiles similar to human PCOS, significant differences remain.

This study suggests that in gilthead seabream, DHT is involved in the onset of the meiotic phase of spermatogenesis and influences serum levels of E2 through regulation of aromatase activity.

This review discusses the steroidogenic properties of human skin and suggests that impaired steroidogenesis may be linked to conditions like acne, rosacea, atopic dermatitis, and androgenic alopecia, but reports no new clinical results.

This review summarizes causes and treatments of androgenetic alopecia with a focus on herbs as potential alternatives, but reports no new results and suggests more research is needed to validate these options.

This study describes a case where finasteride treatment for benign prostatic hypertrophy was associated with gynecomastia in a 62-year-old man, which resolved after the drug was discontinued.

This review evaluates therapies for hyperandrogenism, highlighting cyproterone acetate as the preferred treatment due to its potency and tolerability in managing symptoms in women.

The document concludes that treatments for female hair loss and excessive hair growth are temporary and not well-studied.

This review discusses the current understanding of androgen biosynthesis, mechanisms of action, and their roles in human biology, as well as related congenital and acquired disorders, but it reports no new research findings.

This study found that Ganoderma lucidum extracts reduced prostate enlargement and improved symptoms in testosterone-treated rats, suggesting potential benefits for managing benign prostatic hyperplasia.

This study found that the pharmacological inhibition of 5-α reductases with finasteride and dutasteride can reduce neurosteroid synthesis in glioblastoma-derived cell lines, potentially impacting GBM survival.

This study found that ethanolic and petroleum ether extracts of Cuscuta reflexa, as well as an isolate from these extracts, improved hair growth and follicle characteristics in androgen-induced alopecia in rats.

This study found that testosterone therapy improved physical performance and strength in older men with low testosterone over 36 months, whether administered alone or with finasteride.

Finasteride effectively inhibits 5α reductase, while plant extracts like Permixon and Bazoton don't show significant results.

This review discusses current and emerging drug therapies for treating androgenetic alopecia and alopecia areata, and reports no clinical results; it highlights a need for improved and novel treatments.

This review discusses low-level light therapy for androgenetic alopecia and female pattern hair loss, noting minimal clinical evidence on its efficacy and the need for more controlled studies.

In this study, ketoconazole treatment improved acne in all women and reduced hirsutism in some, but it caused several side effects and requires careful monitoring.

This study found that four microRNAs, which were significantly upregulated in balding hair follicle papilla cells, could play a role in the development of male pattern baldness.

This study found that African American men with prostate cancer have higher rates of somatic and germline androgen receptor mutations than Caucasian American men, which may contribute to ethnic differences in disease progression and outcomes.

This case report describes a male patient with aromatase deficiency, revealing that a c.628G>A mutation can lead to varied clinical features, such as low bone mass and normal metabolic profiles.

This study reports that hair samples can be used to track chronic hormone levels, revealing stress, reproductive, and sodium regulation patterns in wildebeest related to environmental factors.

This abstract discusses the unclear role of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in postembryonic life in marsupials and possibly humans, reporting no new findings.

This study found that oral administration of finasteride to pregnant rats caused dosage-related developmental toxicities, including hypospadias and decreased anogenital distance in male offspring.

This case series reported that three pediatric patients with hidradenitis suppurativa showed decreased frequency and severity of disease flares after treatment with oral finasteride, with no significant adverse effects.

This review highlights that idiopathic hirsutism is characterized by local hyperandrogenization affecting hair growth, without other signs of hyperandrogenism, and shows no new results; racial differences in prevalence are noted but not in androgenic steroids.
