Sex hormones affect hair growth and loss, and treatments for related hair diseases include various medications, hair transplantation, and light therapy.

The research found that measuring androgens in urine can give extra information about body metabolism and is linked to androgen levels in the blood, especially in young girls.

The study developed a tool to predict how gut microbes process foods and drugs, showing that similar compounds often share metabolic pathways and effects.

Scientists have developed a new method to detect steroid abuse in athletes using cell-based tests, which could be the future of anti-doping methods.

Hair loss from alopecia areata and androgenetic alopecia can be treated, but more effective and safer treatments are needed.

Different drugs can treat high male hormone levels in women, but they have various effects and some may harm a fetus.

Some new progesterone derivatives are better at blocking testosterone conversion than a common drug.

The more lipophilic the progesterone derivative, the better it binds to androgen receptors and has antiandrogenic effects.

The method detected sex hormones in some health supplements, with one containing banned testosterone.

Flutamide and a new synthetic steroid affected brain and prostate chemicals and showed potential for treating androgen-related conditions and epilepsy.

A mix of Polygonatum sibiricum and Nelumbinis semen may ease menopause symptoms with fewer side effects.

17-β-Estradiol applied to the skin stops hair growth, while ICI 182 780 helps hair grow in mice.

Finasteride worsens seizures in epilepsy rats and speeds up epileptogenesis in mice.

An imbalance between certain immune cells is linked to a chronic skin condition and may be influenced by obesity, smoking, and autoimmune issues.

Different halogens on progesterone derivatives can either block or mimic male hormone effects, depending on their type and amount.

Certain inhibitors can potentially treat prostate cancer and other hormone-dependent conditions by controlling sex hormone levels in cells.

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.

Certain drugs that block specific enzymes can help treat prostate diseases.

The new compounds moderately block a specific enzyme and strongly counteract a male hormone, suggesting potential for treating certain male-related health conditions.

The new progesterone derivatives effectively inhibit 5α-reductase and bind to the androgen receptor.

Progesterone and its byproducts control a specific receptor in the brain independently of progesterone receptors, affecting conditions related to the menstrual cycle.

Testing basal 17-HP levels is a good way to screen for nonclassic adrenal hyperplasia in women with high androgen levels.

Testosterone, progesterone, and levonorgestrel change enzyme levels related to fat production in hamster skin, which could affect skin oil and acne.

Stress and hormones like progesterone can affect absence seizures, but their effects change with different life stages.

Steroid hormones are crucial for body functions and have various medical uses, but their misuse can lead to dependence.
