This review discusses the negative effects of anabolic androgenic steroids on various organ systems in men and reports no new results, highlighting the need for physician awareness.

In this study, intradermal injections of autologous platelet-rich fibrin matrix significantly increased hair density in patients with androgenetic alopecia at 2 and 3 months after initial treatment.

This study demonstrates that locally synthesized estrogen and androgen neurosteroids play opposite roles in long-term synaptic changes in male rats' medial vestibular nucleus, with testosterone-dihydrotestosterone mediating long-term depression and 17β-estradiol mediating long-term potentiation.

This study found that spironolactone reduced fish fecundity and caused masculinization of females at certain concentrations, while having no effect on Daphnia magna reproduction, underscoring concerns for environmental exposure to vertebrates.

This study suggests that the androgen receptor locus on the X chromosome may play a role in the pathogenesis of early-onset female pattern hair loss.

Woman has discoid lupus, frontal fibrosing, and androgenetic alopecia.

In this study, decreased levels of SHBG and a high free androgen index were observed in men with severe premature baldness compared to controls, but this condition was not equivalent to PCOS or metabolic syndrome in females.

In this study, 62.1% of Korean patients with chronic dermatologic diseases reported using complementary and alternative medicine, though many were dissatisfied with the results.

This study found that taking Korean red ginseng significantly increased hair density and thickness in patients with androgenic alopecia compared to a placebo over 24 weeks.

In this study, short-term finasteride treatment reduced apoptotic factors caspase-7 and IGFBP-3 in prostate cancer cells but did not significantly affect androgen receptor expression compared to placebo.

This study found that finasteride altered androgen receptor expression in the rat epididymis without affecting the morphology of epididymal epithelium, suggesting a change in hormonal status.

This study suggests that dihydrotestosterone plays a key role in the development of chronic allograft nephropathy, and inhibiting androgens may improve long-term kidney transplant outcomes.

This study observed that testosterone metabolism and androgen receptor localization differ significantly across body sites, with beard hair follicles showing distinct characteristics compared to occipital scalp hair follicles.

In this study, treatment targeting the estrogen-androgen balance reduced hair loss in 74 out of 104 women with androgenetic alopecia, with some experiencing hair regrowth.

This article reviews the metabolism and action of androgen in the skin but reports no new experimental results; the author calls for further research.

This study found that men appearing in photos after a hair transplant were perceived by observers as younger, more attractive, more successful, and more approachable compared to their pretransplant images.

This study found evidence of increased DNA methylation of the androgen receptor gene in occipital hair follicles from men with androgenetic alopecia.

This study observed that women aged 63 with androgenetic alopecia had higher insulin resistance and more role limitations due to physical health compared to those with normal hair.

Women's ovarian hormones and adrenal androgens change throughout life, affecting hair loss and health.

In this study, androgen receptors were found only in the mane follicles of red deer stags during the breeding season, suggesting their expression is induced by seasonal hormone changes.

This study found that men with adrenomyeloneuropathy often experience diffuse hair loss and severe male-pattern baldness, potentially due to the X-linked ALD mutation's role in androgenetic alopecia's genetic spectrum.

This study found that androgenic steroids, particularly androstenedione and androstanedione, significantly reduced the growth of certain dermatophytes, suggesting hormonal influence on fungal infections in hair follicles.

This study suggests that in women with androgenic alopecia and men with premature balding, enhanced 5α-reductase activity and altered androgen conjugation, favoring sulfurylation, may be involved in scalp hair loss.

This study found that androgen binding in male rat livers involves specific androgen receptors, which decrease with castration and are inducible in female livers with testosterone.

This study found that low-dose oral minoxidil 5 mg daily significantly increased hair growth in men with androgenetic alopecia over 24 weeks, with increased hair count and vertex area improvement, though most experienced hypertrichosis and some had pedal edema.

This study found that using very-low-dose oral minoxidil (0.25 mg/d) led to improvement or stabilization of hair parameters in 40% to 60% of men with androgenetic alopecia, although results were not statistically significant for the overall group.

This study found that nano-transferosomal gel formulations of finasteride improved its delivery across skin layers, potentially reducing major side effects associated with oral administration for treating male pattern baldness.

In this study, 23 patients with androgenetic alopecia were treated with non-activated autologous platelet-rich plasma (A-PRP) administered through interfollicular injections, but the abstract provides no results of the treatment's effectiveness.

This review discusses advances in molecular biology and genetics related to androgenetic alopecia and reports no new clinical results.

This study found that combining microneedling with topical minoxidil was more effective than minoxidil alone in increasing hair count and improving patient satisfaction for men with androgenetic alopecia, though the cosmetic impact was not significant.
