Blocking a specific enzyme might help treat obesity and diabetes, but more research is needed to ensure it's safe.

Inhibitors of 11β-HSD1 show potential for treating type 2 diabetes but require more testing for safety and effectiveness.

The conclusion is that standardizing testosterone measurement methods is essential for better diagnosis accuracy in women.

Preventing hair loss is more effective than regrowth; oral finasteride is a realistic option.

Blocking glucocorticoid receptors improves glucose metabolism in a PCOS mouse model.

The vitamin D receptor has many roles in the body beyond managing calcium, affecting the immune system, hair growth, muscles, fat, bone marrow, and cancer cells.

The vitamin D receptor is involved in multiple body functions beyond calcium regulation, including immune response and rapid reactions not related to gene activity.

The definition of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome may change with new research, and careful screening is key for managing the condition.

High levels of testosterone and 5α-DHT can lead to cell death in cells important for hair growth.

Estrogens generally inhibit hair growth and improve skin quality, but their exact effects on hair follicles are complex and not fully understood.

5α-Reductase inhibitors can help treat hair loss, acne, and prostate issues by reducing DHT levels.

The activity of a specific rat enzyme in the prostate and epididymis is highly dependent on the acidity level.

Oestrogens are key for bone growth during puberty in both boys and girls.

Male hormones, or androgens, affect women's health in areas like mood and bone density, and hormone replacement therapy using antiandrogenic progestogens can improve mood disorders and alertness in menopausal women.

Male hormones affect oil-producing skin cells differently based on their body location, and the drug spironolactone can reduce these effects.

Male hormones worsen kidney transplant damage, but blocking them helps.

Researchers found an RNA transcript that might help control a growth factor linked to tumor development.

Dihydrotestosterone increases growth and spread of human brain cancer cells, and blocking its formation might help treat this cancer.

Androgens can cause hair growth in some areas but hair loss on the scalp.

Medicines that lower androgen levels and hair removal treatments help manage excessive hair and acne in women with PCOS.

High fasting insulin levels in women with PCOS are linked to a higher risk of heart and metabolic problems.

Finasteride-treated male rats' offspring had altered glucose metabolism, potentially increasing diabetes risk.

Sex hormones may affect COVID-19 severity, with estrogen possibly reducing risk and testosterone potentially increasing it.

Long-term use of finasteride and dutasteride can cause serious health issues like diabetes and liver problems.

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

Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) have a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes due to insulin resistance.

Postmenopausal hyperandrogenism, a condition with symptoms like increased hair growth and acne, is usually caused by PCOS but can also be due to other factors. It's diagnosed by checking testosterone levels and treated either by removing the adrenal tumor or through antiandrogen therapy.

The LncRNA AC010789.1 slows down hair loss by promoting hair follicle growth and interacting with miR-21 and the Wnt/β-catenin pathway.

Barn owls with smaller black spots have higher testosterone levels, which might be due to genetic effects on hormone regulation rather than hormone effects on coloration.

Foxp3+ Regulatory T Cells are important for immunity and tolerance, affect hair growth and wound healing, and their dysfunction can contribute to obesity-related diseases and other health issues.
