This report suggests that for prostate cancer patients with cardiovascular disease, prescribing the GnRH antagonist degarelix may reduce cardiac events compared to using GnRH agonists, although prescribing should consider potential cardiac risks, particularly in patients with pre-existing conditions or older age.

This review outlines a diagnostic approach for identifying non-PCOS pathology in women with androgen excess, emphasizing the importance of clinical history and biochemical phenotyping but reports no new clinical results.

Evaluate and manage androgen excess in women with a systematic approach, considering both physical and psychological impacts.

This review discusses phenotypic differences in testosterone production between mice and humans with HSD17B3 deficiency and reports no new findings; the authors highlight potential pathways and enzymes involved in testosterone synthesis.

This article describes the growth and characteristics of saw palmetto and its fruit but reports no new research results.

This study characterized the CYP154C7 enzyme from *Streptomyces* sp. PAMC26508, highlighting its ability to hydroxylate steroids efficiently, particularly androstenedione, and identified key amino acids important for substrate selectivity and catalytic efficiency.

This article discusses the complex aetiology, diagnostic criteria, and challenges in diagnosing polycystic ovary syndrome, but does not report new clinical findings.

In this study, researchers developed a sensitive LC–MS–MS assay to measure 3α-androstanediol levels in rat plasma and observed that testosterone raises these levels via a 5α-reductase pathway.

This study found that platelet-rich plasma therapy may effectively treat androgenetic alopecia and could potentially replace topical minoxidil, offering promising results in terms of hair growth and patient satisfaction.

This study found that hair steroid profiling is a feasible, non-invasive alternative to serum analysis in adolescents, with androgen levels correlating more strongly with body size and composition in boys than girls.

This study reports that in human glioblastoma and neuroblastoma cell lines, 24-hydroxycholesterol significantly suppressed the conversion of testosterone to growth-inducing androgens via the 5α-reductase pathway, revealing a new connection between cholesterol homeostasis and androgen metabolism.

In this study, petroleum ether extracts of Phyllanthus niruri promoted hair regrowth in testosterone-induced alopecia in rats by inhibiting the 5α-reductase enzyme.

This study found that several herbal extracts, like those from Tridax procumbens and Ginko biloba, have demonstrated hair growth-promoting effects in both animal models and in vitro experiments.

This study reported that while no synthesized compounds surpassed finasteride in 5α-reductase inhibitory activity, certain 4-azasteroid-2-oximes exhibited notable inhibition.

This review discusses the roles and therapeutic effects of GLP-1 receptor agonists on the nervous, cardiovascular, and endocrine systems, but reports no new clinical results, emphasizing the need for further research on their impact on metabolism and tumor relationships in type 2 diabetes patients.

This study found that daily use of 1% pyrithione zinc shampoo modestly improved hair growth over 26 weeks, although these effects were less than those of 5% minoxidil.

This review examines androgen status in male and female obesity and its influence on the metabolic syndrome, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that basal cell carcinomas show strong expression of vitamin D receptors at both mRNA and protein levels, suggesting a potential role in tumor growth regulation.

This study found that concentrations of THCCOOH in hair do not correlate well with self-reported cannabis use due to inaccuracies in the self-reported data, but it provides preliminary insights into usage patterns.

This study found that 1,540 nm fractional erbium-glass laser treatment combined with topical minoxidil significantly increased hair regrowth in alopecia areata patches compared to minoxidil alone, with response rates of 60% versus 16%, though the long-term effects remain unknown.

This study found that 1,550-nm Er:Glass fractional laser treatment increased hair density and shaft diameter in patients with androgenetic alopecia, but did not up-regulate Wnt10A and IGF-1 mRNA expression.

In this study, the researchers optimized a method for culturing melanocyte precursors from hair follicles and found that 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 significantly promotes their differentiation and melanin synthesis.

This case report suggests that Roux-en-Y gastric bypass may improve symptoms of non-classic adrenal hyperplasia related to 11-hydroxylase deficiency by reducing insulin resistance.

This study identified neuropilin-1 as the receptor for FOL-026 and showed that it stimulates angiogenesis and cell growth, suggesting potential for vascular repair and enhanced angiogenesis therapies.

This study developed a rapid and sensitive method for determining finasteride concentrations in pharmaceuticals, with results comparable to those from the standard HPLC method.

This study identified three subgroups of women with PCOS with distinct androgen profiles, finding that the subgroup with adrenal-derived androgen excess had the highest insulin resistance and rates of hirsutism and hair loss.

In this study, researchers found that 4-Octyl itaconate (4-OI) inhibited cisplatin-induced ferroptosis and protected auditory cells by activating the NRF2/HO-1 signaling pathway, suggesting a potential therapeutic approach for reducing hearing loss associated with cisplatin treatment.

This article discusses various hematologic issues in systemic lupus erythematosus, including anaemia and thrombocytopenia, and examines treatment approaches like B-cell depletion and complement inhibition, without reporting new clinical results.

This abstract discusses the lack of understanding and sympathy for women experiencing alopecia but reports no new research findings.

This study reviewed preliminary evidence suggesting platelet-rich plasma could play a significant role in hair restoration, with animal experiments showing faster hair cycle transitions compared to controls.
