Men might have a version of the female disease, polycystic ovarian syndrome, shown by changes in hormone levels and early baldness, but more research is needed to fully understand it.

COVID-19 may harm male reproductive health and lower testosterone levels, potentially affecting fertility and causing erectile dysfunction. More research is needed.

Men, particularly those with hair loss, are more likely to get the virus, and those with prostate cancer may have milder symptoms. Testosterone's role in the disease is unclear, and the virus doesn't seem to harm male fertility. Women with PCOS might be at higher risk. More research is needed.

Androstenedione is better than testosterone for diagnosing PCOS in Indian women.

Diagnosing hyperandrogenism in women is complex and requires accurate testing methods and consideration of SHBG levels.

Mice without the enzyme HSD17B3 still produce normal testosterone, suggesting they have different ways to make it compared to humans.

The document concludes that blocking the internal pathways that create androgens might help treat cancers that depend on sex hormones.

Early diagnosis and individualized treatment improve outcomes for Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia.

The document concludes that patient outcomes for Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia are often not ideal because of poor management and a need for better diagnosis and treatment methods.

Different types of androgens bind differently to two receptors, AR1 and AR2, in Atlantic croaker's brain and ovarian tissues, suggesting these receptors may control different androgen actions in fish.

Women with hair loss had higher levels of certain hormones, suggesting a link to a condition like PCOS.

11α-Hydroxyprogesterone is changed into different substances by certain enzymes and may play a role in prostate cancer.

Androgens like testosterone are important hormones for both men and women, made differently in each sex and affecting the body by regulating genes and quick interactions with cell components.

Men with male-pattern baldness have higher levels of certain testosterone metabolites and may have more active androgen metabolism.

Excess androgens may cause PCOS, not just be a symptom.

Postmenopausal hyperandrogenism, a condition with symptoms like increased hair growth and acne, is usually caused by PCOS but can also be due to other factors. It's diagnosed by checking testosterone levels and treated either by removing the adrenal tumor or through antiandrogen therapy.

Women with effluvium have higher levels of certain urinary steroids, possibly due to stress and increased adrenal activity.

Taking Saw palmetto and Pygeum africana can change the levels of certain steroids in urine, which could cause confusion in doping tests.

DHEA affects multiple receptors and may help with metabolic issues, but its safety and effectiveness in humans are unclear.

Lipocalin-Type Prostaglandin D2 Synthase (L-PGDS) is a protein that plays many roles in the body, including sleep regulation, pain management, food intake, and protection against harmful substances. It also affects fat metabolism, glucose intolerance, cell maturation, and is involved in various diseases like diabetes, cancer, and arthritis. It can influence sex organ development and embryonic cell differentiation, and its levels can be used as a diagnostic marker for certain conditions.

Norgestimate is the most effective birth control progestin for reducing an enzyme linked to acne and excessive hair growth in women.

Too much AKR1C3 enzyme causes resistance to finasteride by increasing testosterone.

Researchers found potential urine markers for polycystic ovary syndrome, including testosterone-glucuronide and 11α-hydroxyprogesterone, which may help diagnose the condition.

Girls with PCOS have higher levels of certain androgens, which are linked to excess hair growth, but these androgens don't help diagnose PCOS.

Androgen therapy can help with symptoms like low libido in women, but more research is needed to understand its long-term safety and effects on health.

Impaired androgen production in 46,XY DSDs causes ambiguous genitalia and requires long-term care.

Different skin cells process testosterone differently, and certain drugs can change this process, possibly helping treat acne and hair loss.

An extract from Quercus acutissima bark was found to reduce sebum production and block an enzyme linked to acne.

The enzymes 5α-reductase and 3α/β-hydroxysteroid oxidoreductase help create brain-active substances from progesterone and testosterone, which could be used for treatment, but more research is needed to ensure their safety and effectiveness.

Spironolactone reduces the enzyme activity that converts testosterone to DHT, helping treat excessive hair growth in women.
