This review discusses the biology of hair follicles and common hair disorders in the elderly but reports no new clinical results.

This review examines the role of androgens in cutaneous disorders and the potential therapeutic effects of different oral contraceptives, noting variations in individual responses and the influence of genetic and local factors but reports no new clinical results.

This review examines the diverse roles of SRD5α enzymes across species, focusing on their involvement in steroid synthesis, sexual development, and various physiological processes, but reports no new clinical results.

This article updates the process of care model for evaluating erectile dysfunction, emphasizing comprehensive evaluation and a combination of pharmacotherapy and counseling tailored to patient dynamics.

This paper discusses the potential relationship between finasteride's adverse effects and factors like hand preference and sexual orientation, suggesting these could influence risk in male androgenic alopecia treatment, but reports no new clinical results.

This review examines how genetic variants associated with polycystic ovary syndrome affect reproductive success differently in men and women, supporting the theory that intralocus sexual conflict may explain its persistence.

This review discusses androgenetic alopecia management with 5α-reductase inhibitors, emphasizing that while dutasteride shows superior efficacy, finasteride is suggested as preferable due to predictable adverse effects and preservation of physiological roles.

This study found that long-term dutasteride therapy in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia worsened erectile dysfunction, reduced testosterone levels, and increased blood glucose and lipid profile, indicating negative metabolic impacts.

In this laboratory study with rats, treatment with finasteride reduced dihydrotestosterone levels and fertility parameters, with a 30-day recovery period proving insufficient to fully restore sperm function and fertility.

This study found that repeated finasteride administration in male Wistar rats led to increased depression-like behavior, suggesting an animal model for investigating finasteride's neuropsychiatric effects is viable.

This study found that topical application of Serenoa repens extract increased hair count in men with androgenetic alopecia, suggesting it could be an alternative for those unable to use standard medications.

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.

The authors reviewed the mechanisms behind Kennedy's disease, noting advances in therapeutic strategies such as androgen deprivation and gene silencing that may soon expand treatment options for this incurable neuromuscular condition.

This study found that finasteride significantly improved motor, EEG, and cellular changes in a rat model of thioacetamide-induced hepatic encephalopathy and prevented the development of hepatic coma.

This review discusses targeting host cell proteases as a novel approach to inhibit SARS-CoV-2 infection, highlighting transcriptional modulation and enzymatic inhibition as promising therapeutic strategies, but it reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that α-spinasterol treatment significantly reduced testosterone propionate-induced prostatic hyperplasia in rats, suggesting potential benefits for managing benign prostatic hyperplasia.

The document concludes that treatments for female hair loss and excessive hair growth are temporary and not well-studied.

This study found that ethanol extract of Tubtim Chumphae rice bran downregulates SRD5A gene expression, similarly to finasteride, suggesting potential use as an anti-hair loss product.

This article discusses the clinical presentation and management challenges of menopausal acne, noting its multifactorial etiology and recommending tailored treatment approaches based on acne severity and associated features, without reporting new clinical results.

This study identified significant changes in the expression of nine proteins in the nucleus accumbens of rats treated with finasteride, suggesting potential novel targets for its neuropsychiatric effects.

This article discusses the benefits of liposomes in cosmetic formulations, including enhanced hydration and protection for dry skin, but reports no new experimental findings.

This review explores the inconsistent therapeutic effects and side effects of finasteride for androgenic alopecia, highlighting the need for further research to better predict individual patient responses.

This review describes the dermatological uses of the contraceptive ethinylestradiol/chlormadinone acetate for conditions linked to high androgen levels and reports no new clinical results.

A young man with an eating disorder had a life-threatening adrenal crisis due to an autoimmune condition, highlighting the need for better education on managing hormone treatments.

This article reviews assessment and management strategies for adolescent females with excessive hair growth and highlights the importance of evaluating potential androgen sources.

This study found that testosterone may promote glioblastoma progression by being converted into dihydrotestosterone, which enhances cell proliferation, migration, and invasion in GBM cell lines.

Researchers observed that dutasteride and finasteride caused structural changes in the penises of both control and hypertensive rats, with dutasteride having a more pronounced effect on the corpus cavernosum.

This review discusses current challenges in selective androgen receptor modulator discovery and preclinical evaluation and reports no new results, emphasizing the need for basic research to improve safety and selectivity.

This paper proposes a theory explaining how the normal anabolic effects of androgens lead to structural changes and hair follicle miniaturization, contributing to androgenic alopecia.

This review explores the evaluation and treatment of hirsutism, emphasizing a systematic approach to uncovering its causes and recommending combination therapies for effective management, but presents no new results.
