Finasteride for hair loss may cause persistent sexual symptoms, depression, anxiety, and lower quality of life.

The guidelines advise against using testosterone and DHEA in women for most conditions due to safety and effectiveness concerns, but suggest considering testosterone for postmenopausal women with low sexual desire.

Women with type 1 diabetes often have polycystic ovary syndrome and excess male hormones, which are frequently undiagnosed.

Finasteride affects urinary steroid profiles and can potentially hide steroid abuse in sports drug testing.

Testosterone therapy can help improve mood, sexual function, and bone health in women with low androgen levels, but more research is needed to establish safe and effective guidelines.

The document suggests that blocking sweat glands with antiperspirants might allow skin-generated hormones to be absorbed, possibly increasing breast and prostate cancer risk.

Women with hair loss have higher androgen levels, while men with early balding have altered androgen ratios.

High-dose dutasteride reduces PMDD symptoms by stabilizing neurosteroid levels.

Certain mutations in the H6PD gene cause Cortisone Reductase Deficiency by affecting hormone production.

Women with PCOS have different levels of certain fats and proteins in their blood, which could help diagnose the condition.

Melatonin and mitotane treatment led to hair re-growth in 62% of dogs with Alopecia X, but this was not always linked to normal hormone levels.

DHEA did not improve sexual function, well-being, or menopausal symptoms in postmenopausal women with low libido but caused side effects like acne and increased facial hair.

The enzyme 17β-HSD type 2 mainly performs oxidation in human sebaceous glands, which may help protect against acne.

The enzyme that changes testosterone to a stronger form is mostly found in the part of the hair follicle called the dermal papilla.

Different species and human skin models vary in their skin enzyme activities, with pig skin and some models closely matching human skin, useful for safety assessments and understanding the skin's protective roles.

Dutasteride makes alcohol less sedating and may lead to less drinking in men.

Isotretinoin improves severe acne without changing androgen or insulin levels but may increase body weight and triglycerides.

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.

The study created a new method to test drugs that affect hormone processing in skin.

The document concludes that effectively managing PCOS requires a multifaceted approach.

Acne can appear or persist in adulthood due to hormonal changes, external factors, or substance use, and requires appropriate treatment.

Steroidogenesis inhibitors change but don't stop androgen production in prostate cancer.

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

Higher aldosterone levels in urine are linked to a nondipper blood pressure pattern in healthy people.

People with non-dipper hypertension have higher aldosterone levels, more strain on their heart's venous system, and increased risk of endothelial dysfunction.

Wet cupping blood has different components than regular venous blood, which might affect skin disorder treatments.
