This study found that men without prostate cancer carrying the A-allele of SNP rs1204038 had a 65% higher risk of PSA levels above 3 ng/mL compared to those with the G-allele, increasing referrals for further examination.

This review explores the hormonal regulation of hair growth and changes with season, age, and sexual development, and calls for improved treatments for hair disorders.

This study found that women with menstrual dysfunction showed higher rates of magnesium, iron, and vitamin D deficiencies compared to women with normal menstrual function.

This study observed that nearly all aged nursing home residents in Berlin had at least one dermatological condition, with xerosis cutis being the most common, but few associations with demographics or medical characteristics were found.

This study found that androgen inactivation pathways in scalp sebaceous glands change with age, specifically noting that AKR1C expression, including AKR1C4 previously thought liver-specific, declines with age and is sex dependent, which could impact hair follicle health during aging.

This study found that Israeli patients with alopecia areata had a higher prevalence of comorbid conditions, including food allergies and chronic spontaneous urticaria, compared to matched controls.

This article reviews the interaction between sex hormone pathways and morphogenesis-related signaling in epithelial organ development, using a chicken model to propose testable hypotheses, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found a significant association between androgenetic alopecia and metabolic syndrome, with AGA patients showing higher BMI, waist circumference, blood glucose, and cholesterol levels compared to controls.

This study found that vitamin D was positively associated with serum ferritin levels in Korean women without metabolic syndrome, but this association was not observed in those with metabolic syndrome.

This article reviews Vitamin D-dependent rickets Type II with a focus on alopecia as a potential diagnostic clue for this rare disorder, reporting no new clinical findings.

This meta-analysis reports that vertex baldness is associated with an increased risk of coronary heart disease, particularly in younger men, while no significant link was found for frontal baldness.

This case study reported that absence of alopecia does not reliably predict responsiveness to vitamin D treatment in Vitamin D-dependent rickets type II, as demonstrated by a patient with normal hair growth who showed extreme resistance.

This study observed that donor strip scar width after hair transplantation was correlated with preoperative scalp laxity and elasticity but not with glidability.

This study concluded that there is no association between male pattern baldness and the severity or presence of coronary artery disease as measured by Gensini and Rentrop scores.

This study found that lower serum melatonin levels were associated with increased skin aging grades among individuals in Ulaanbaatar, suggesting melatonin loss may contribute to earlier skin aging.

This study suggests that side effects of low-dose oral minoxidil for hair loss are infrequent and demographics did not influence this risk, but dosage relative to body weight may affect adverse event incidence.

This meta-analysis suggests that any pattern of male baldness may be associated with a decreased risk of testicular cancer, with stage II hair loss providing the strongest protective effect.

This study found that individuals with premature hair graying had significantly lower levels of antioxidants compared to controls, but the severity of graying did not significantly correlate with oxidative stress levels.

This study found that in women with PCOS, insulin resistance is closely associated with hyperandrogenism, indicating it may independently predict increased androgen levels.

Greek women with PCOS have a higher risk of metabolic syndrome and are more likely to be overweight compared to healthy controls.

This study found that normal ALT levels in women of reproductive age are linked with metabolic and androgenic abnormalities, suggesting ALT could be used beyond liver disease diagnoses.

This study concluded that although RBP4 and adiponectin levels are associated with visceral fat, they do not independently contribute to the development of PCOS.

This literature review highlights the importance of understanding the mechanisms behind the gradual mosaic loss of the Y chromosome (mLOY) in men, its association with various health conditions like cardiovascular diseases and cancer, and its potential as a marker for age inference.

This study explored the decline in cashmere production in Inner Mongolian cashmere goats through RNA-seq analysis, finding that AKT1 expression and related signaling pathways are age-dependent, with peak AKT1 upregulation at 12 months aligning with peak cashmere production.

This study found a high prevalence of hyperandrogenemia in women with PCOS, with distinct biochemical differences according to BMI and presence of hyperandrogenemia.

Certain drugs and supplements may contribute to hair loss in the frontal hairline in older women.

In this study, researchers identified genetic variants in the PCCA and PRLR genes that are significantly associated with hair coat length in Brangus heifers, potentially contributing to more thermotolerant cattle.

In this study on mouse preputial glands, suppressing ATG7-dependent autophagy delayed age-related changes, affected lipid metabolism, and reduced pheromone production, highlighting autophagy's roles in glandular homeostasis and cell breakdown.

This study found a complex relationship between cumulative doses of 5-ARIs and all-cause mortality among BPH or AGA patients, with lower doses linked to higher suicide rates and higher doses reducing cardiovascular mortality risk.

This paper reviews diffuse androgen-dependent alopecia and chronic telogen effluvium in women, highlighting diagnostic challenges and management issues, but reports no new clinical findings; the authors suggest effective treatments are available.
