This study found that in women with acne vulgaris, lower serum levels of 3α-androstanediol-glucuronide suggest reduced 5α-reductase activity compared to controls, indicating that 5α-reductase inhibitors may not be effective for acne treatment.

This study found that the SRD5A2 A49T A variant is associated with an increased risk of prostate cancer, lower circulating 3α‐diolG levels, and a decreased risk of baldness.

This study found that finasteride significantly reduced hirsutism scores in women with idiopathic hirsutism and PCOS, despite no changes in serum androgen levels.

This study found that women with female pattern baldness had a marked increase in the 3α,17β-androstanediol glucuronide/sex hormone binding globulin ratio and low serum sex hormone binding globulin.

This study found that in female dogs, exposure to free fatty acids increased androgen production, suggesting a potential link to factors characteristic of polycystic ovary syndrome.

This paper reviews current knowledge about androgens' role in androgenic alopecia and female hirsutism but presents no new clinical findings.

This study found that 3alpha-diol, an androgen metabolite, improved cognitive and affective performance in aged male rats, suggesting its role in countering age-related decline in hippocampally-influenced behaviors.

This study found that SRD5a-3 is a highly efficient enzyme for converting hormones into androgens, with dutasteride being a much more potent inhibitor of SRD5a-3 than SRD5a-2.

This study found that cocaine disrupted the relationship between certain brain androgen levels and sexual behavior in male rats, with dose-dependent effects on testosterone metabolism.

This study suggests that 5-ADIOL-S may contribute to the synthesis of potent androgens in peripheral tissues, and 3 alpha-DIOL-S could be a marker of androgen metabolism in various female patient groups.

This study found that women with female pattern androgenic alopecia have significantly higher levels of certain androgens and androgen sulfates compared to normal premenopausal women, suggesting markers for diagnosis and treatment efficacy.

This study found that in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia, a 3-month treatment with a long-acting GnRH agonist significantly reduced intraprostatic DHT and 3α-diol levels by about 90% and testosterone by about 75%.

This study observed that 2% minoxidil solution was at least as effective as 3% for increasing hair growth and stabilizing bald areas in men with male pattern baldness.

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 bolandiol increased lean body mass and bone mineral density in castrate adult male rats, exhibiting tissue selectivity and acting through multiple receptor pathways with less potency compared to other androgens.

This study suggests that 9-Octadecenoic acid (Z)-, 2,3-dihydroxypropyl ester from African Yam bean seeds may inhibit the human 5α-reductase II enzyme, potentially helping manage BPH, although further studies are needed.

This study found significant species differences in the enzyme activity and inhibitor affinities of prostatic 5α-reductases from rats, dogs, and humans, with variable potencies for different 3-oxo-4-azasteroid inhibitors across species.

This article reviews recent advances in the synthesis of oxasteroids and reports no new experimental results.

In this study, treatment with DHEA induced mild to moderate hyperplasia of sebaceous glands in ovariectomized rats, which was prevented by the antiandrogen Flutamide but not by the antiestrogen EM-800.

This study reported that treatment with gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogs and cross-sex hormones appears appropriate for carefully selected youth with gender dysphoria, but long-term safety needs further investigation.

This review discusses strategies for weight loss in obesity through dietary energy deficits and nutrient profile modifications and highlights the need for personalized dietary approaches; it reports no new data.

This study found that Atlantic croaker nuclear androgen receptors AR1 and AR2 have different binding affinities for androgens, suggesting that they may mediate distinct physiological actions in teleosts.

This document extends previous recommendations by the National Lipid Association for managing dyslipidemia, focusing on lifestyle therapies, special patient groups, and strategies to enhance adherence and patient outcomes.

This review discusses the current understanding of propranolol's use in treating infantile hemangiomas, covering its indications, effectiveness, side effects, and ongoing clinical trials, without presenting new clinical results.

This article discusses the goals and considerations of cosmetic surgery for upper facial rejuvenation, including patient expectations and potential complications, and does not present new research findings.

This review critically analyzes recent literature on the use of nanotechnology in alopecia treatment, reporting promising results for improving drug delivery and hair growth, though challenges in maintaining physical stability may limit large-scale commercialization.

The document explains various skin conditions and their treatments.

This review discusses the influence of oestrogens on various skin components and highlights their modulatory roles and receptor pathways, but it reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses polycystic ovary syndrome and incorporates updates from a 2023 guideline, but reports no new research findings on diagnosis or management.

This study aims to develop and evaluate herbal shampoo powder made from natural ingredients, focusing on its efficacy in removing debris and dandruff, enhancing hair development and shine, and strengthening and darkening hair. Results are not reported.
