This study concluded that male mice are more susceptible to valproic acid-induced autism spectrum disorder than female mice, with noticeable differences in brain histoarchitecture and receptor protein levels.

This study found that the gene SRD5A1, associated with methylation changes due to early-life environment, may play a role in altering reproductive phenotypes in women by delaying pubertal onset and decreasing ovarian reserve.

This study found that adults with trichotillomania or skin picking disorder experienced significantly poorer sleep quality, which was linked to various factors including age, stress, distress tolerance, impulsivity, and comorbid mental disorders.

This study found extensive co-evolution of polyglutamine repeat lengths in neural protein clusters, highlighting their potential role in neurocognitive variation and neuropsychiatric disease development.

This study identified a novel SCF mRNA splice variant in white merino sheep skin, which may play a role in hair follicle melanogenesis.

In this study, fMRI results suggested that mechanical stimulation evoked a stronger prickle sensation comprising both pain and itch on hairy skin compared to glabrous skin.

This review explores whether SARS-CoV-2 could trigger or worsen α-synucleinopathies, like Parkinson's disease, by affecting α-synuclein misfolding and aggregation, potentially linking COVID-19 with the development of parkinsonism-like symptoms.

This review suggests systemic changes in polycystic ovary syndrome may increase the risk of neurodegeneration, potentially linking it to Alzheimer's disease through common pathways affecting tryptophan metabolism.

Finasteride boosts morphine's pain relief and prevents tolerance and withdrawal in rats.

This review highlights significant health risks associated with anabolic-androgenic steroid use in women and reports no new research results, emphasizing the need for further understanding of their effects on female physiology.

This study found that androgen impacted glucocorticoid signaling in the mouse brain only in the prefrontal cortex and substantia nigra, suggesting limited interaction between these hormones at high corticosterone levels.

This study performed a bibliometric analysis on Alzheimer's disease and white matter research from 1981 to 2023, finding the majority of publications from the US, China, and the UK, with key themes like mild cognitive impairment and MRI appearing frequently.

This review discusses the association between emotional stress-related neuropeptides and the pathogenesis of alopecia areata, reporting no new experimental findings.

This study provides a detailed overview of 1,295 clinical trials related to alcohol dependence registered on ClinicalTrials.gov, highlighting that 59.15% of these trials have been completed, primarily as interventional studies, with most located in North America.

This study found that in male mice, microglial changes due to a Parkinson's-like lesion were influenced by sex hormones, with dutasteride treatment preventing some effects.

This review summarizes how foods with both medicinal and nutritional properties are being examined for their potential role in addressing post-acute COVID-19 syndrome, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study found no significant difference in CUX1 core promoter methylation levels between different lambskin patterns in Hu sheep, suggesting other mechanisms influence CUX1 expression related to hair follicle development.

This review discusses the role of microglia in mediating prenatal androgen effects on the female brain, potentially contributing to PCOS development and neuroendocrine dysfunctions, but reports no new results.

This research suggests that autism's genetic links are partially related to factors influencing physiological sex differences, with rare variants interacting with placental sex differences and common variants affecting steroid-related traits.

This joint consensus statement from several Polish professional associations discusses strategies for improving obesity treatment and enhancing primary care's role in managing obesity, with no new empirical data reported.

This review discusses the relationship between gut microbiota and polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), including its potential mechanisms and the role of alterations in microbiome composition on PCOS pathophysiology.

This review discusses the effects of neuroactive testosterone metabolites on CNS functions and suggests their potential as therapeutic options for neurological disorders, but reports no new clinical results.

In this study, naringenin and its methylated derivatives reduced depression-like behaviors and inflammation markers in mice exposed to finasteride, suggesting their potential as effective and safe anti-depressive agents.

This meta-analysis found a significantly higher prevalence of depressive symptoms in women with PCOS compared to a control group, with 42.11% versus 13.62% according to the BDI assessment, highlighting the need for psychiatric evaluation and support for women with this syndrome.

This review highlights the role of the brain–gut–skin axis in systemic inflammatory skin conditions, revealing potential interventions like microbiome-directed treatments and integrative therapies, though emphasizes the need for more robust clinical validation.

This systematic review synthesizes evidence on the distribution of 5a-reductase isozymes and their implications for mental health, finding that inhibition of neurosteroidogenesis may contribute to anxiety, depression, and suicidality, with some patients experiencing persistent psychiatric effects from finasteride or dutasteride.

This narrative review highlights that declining testosterone levels are a complex public health issue potentially influenced by modifiable lifestyle factors and environmental stressors, suggesting integrated strategies may be needed to address the trend's impacts on health.

In this study, researchers observed that chronic stress affected wild-derived house mice differently by sex, with females showing less weight gain and distinct behavioral changes, while males exhibited higher hair corticosterone levels, suggesting divergent coping strategies and implications for sex-specific stress assessment protocols.

This study found that acute stress can cause rapid hair loss by triggering necrosis in hair follicle cells and initiating autoimmunity, revealing a mechanism where stress-induced nerve activity leads to tissue damage and immune system activation.
