This review discusses potential mechanisms contributing to higher COVID-19 mortality among men, particularly the roles of smoking, genetic factors, and reproductive hormones, without presenting new clinical findings.

This review discusses 46,XY disorders of sex development caused by defects in androgen production and highlights the need for long-term care from experienced multidisciplinary teams, but it reports no new clinical findings.

This review examines androgen replacement therapy in women for treating androgen deficiency symptoms and reports no new clinical results, while noting potential safety within a specific dose range.

This review discusses the presence of the StAR protein in 17 non-classical steroidogenic tissues, suggesting that advanced detection methods are needed for a complete understanding of its functions in these tissues.

In this study, higher expression levels of aromatase and steroidogenic acute regulatory protein were correlated with increased estrogen synthesis and fewer hair follicles in human skin, suggesting a link to elastic fiber formation and hair growth.

Seborrhea in Parkinson's disease may be linked to hormones, not autonomic impairment.

This review discusses various biologics for hair aging but reports no agent capable of reversing the natural aging process of hair.

This review discusses the therapeutic use of insulin-sensitizing agents in polycystic ovary syndrome, reporting improved ovulation, insulin sensitivity, and reduction of hyperandrogenism, but calls for larger studies to confirm these effects.

This article discusses the development of a transdermal testosterone patch for postmenopausal women to deliver physiological testosterone levels but reports no new clinical results, highlighting a need for long-term safety data.

This review presents substantial evidence supporting testosterone use for hypoactive sexual desire disorder in postmenopausal women, but notes safety concerns with off-label prescribing due to lack of approved formulations.

The document concludes that using LC-MS/MS for measuring androgens is more accurate than older methods, but it needs careful validation and standardized references to be most effective.

These drugs cause hair growth without affecting testosterone or adrenal hormones.

This review discusses the impact of COVID-19 on the endocrine system and reports no clinical results; the authors emphasize the need to investigate endocrine damage during and after COVID-19 infection.

Human hair follicles have a unique metabolism that changes between growth stages and may contribute to baldness.

This review examines the role of hormones in acne pathogenesis, the use of hormonal therapies for treatment, and the importance of contraceptive counseling during isotretinoin therapy, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that sex differences in somatostatin biosynthesis in rat hypothalamic neurons develop between postnatal day 1 and 5, influenced by the conversion of testosterone to estrogen.

This study found weak to very weak correlations between estradiol, progesterone, and testosterone levels in the cerebrospinal fluid and serum of males without cerebral disorders.

In this study, the authors observed that testosterone therapy shortened the QTc interval and normalized T-wave morphology in men with acquired LQTS or TdP linked to hypogonadism, suggesting testosterone may be helpful in treatment.

This review discusses various skin diseases with endocrinological origins and reports no clinical results, highlighting the need for interdisciplinary understanding in diagnosis.

In this study, women with androgenic alopecia showed increased excretion of steroid metabolites and heightened 5α-reductase activity, suggesting these may contribute to the condition's hormonal abnormalities.

This study suggests that androstendione and DHEA are useful indicators for diagnosing hyperandrogenemia in hirsute women, while DHEAS was not found to be helpful.

This study found that men with androgenic alopecia had significantly higher levels of certain urinary steroid metabolites, suggesting increased 5 alpha-reductase activity and possible mild hyperadrenal activity.

This review discusses the causes and treatment strategies for hirsutism, emphasizing that combination therapy targeting androgen suppression and hair removal techniques is most effective; no new clinical results are reported.

This study found that formalin-induced pain in rats nearly eliminates testosterone in the brain and spinal cord by likely increasing 5α-reductase activity, but normalizes serum levels after 24 hours.

In this study, children with classical congenital adrenal hyperplasia were found to have increased epicardial fat thickness, which was associated with subclinical atherosclerosis markers and left ventricular dysfunction, especially in poorly controlled cases.

This article discusses clinical features and treatment options for hyperandrogenism in women and does not report new findings, highlighting current practices in diagnosis and management.

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 case report indicates that HAIR-AN syndrome can lead to severe hyperandrogenism with virilisation signs in women after excluding tumoral causes and identifying signs of insulin resistance.

This review discusses the changes in androgen levels with age in women and the potential benefits of testosterone replacement therapy as part of hormone replacement therapy for postmenopausal women, but it reports no new clinical results.

In this study, pregnant spotted hyenas treated with flutamide and finasteride had lower concentrations of several sex hormones, including testosterone and luteinizing hormone, compared to untreated controls.
