This review summarizes existing clinical guidelines for hormonal therapy in gender dysphoria, observing similarities in international practices and emphasizing the need for more evidence-based research, particularly on GnRH agonists for both trans women and men.

This review discusses the regulation of hair growth, causes of excessive androgen secretion, and current safe solutions for hyperandrogenism manifestations in women but reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the roles of glucocorticoid and sex hormone receptors in the skin and their clinical importance, but reports no new research findings.

This chapter reviews the role of the testes in producing and functioning of testicular androgens and protein hormones, but it presents no new clinical results.

This review discusses the historical concepts of hirsutism in Unani Medicine and evaluates herbal treatments, indicating these may influence underlying endocrine issues but current evidence remains insufficient.

This study suggests that the floral secretions of Brasiliorchis schunkeana may attract Diptera as potential pollinators, but field observations are needed to confirm this pollination syndrome.

This study found that high prepubertal and pubertal androgen levels, originating from both adrenal and gonadal secretion, were negatively associated with adult height outcomes in males with Silver-Russell syndrome.

This protocol outlines a planned Cochrane Review assessing the effectiveness and safety of treatments for androgenic alopecia in women, reporting no new research findings.

This mini-review examines ethnopharmacological approaches to manage hair loss in postmenopausal women, highlighting promising botanical remedies like saw palmetto, rosemary oil, and ginseng. The authors underscore a need for more interdisciplinary trials and focus on traditional remedies' multifaceted benefits, while noting gaps in menopausal-specific evidence.

This review discusses how the hormonal changes of menopause affect skin and hair, highlighting improvements in skin symptoms like dryness and reduced wound healing with estrogen supplementation, and advises healthcare providers to consider broader potential benefits of menopausal hormone therapy when consulting patients.

This study found that six months of combined estrogen-progestin pill therapy led to a significant reduction in serum AMH levels and improvement in hyperandrogenic symptoms among women with PCOS.

This article reviews differential diagnosis approaches for 46,XY DSD, proposing a diagnostic algorithm focused on biochemical and genetic data, without presenting new clinical results.

This study concludes that anti-androgenic chemicals causing short anogenital distance in male fetuses also induce a feminized transcriptional profile in the perineum, implicating Wnt and estrogen signaling in the process.

This review discusses the histology of pilo-sebaceous follicles, androgen receptors, and various treatments for hirsutism and acne in women, but it reports no new clinical results.

Treatments for hair loss include estrogen therapy and special shampoos.

This article reviews surgical hair replacement techniques for bald patients dissatisfied with hairpieces and reports that various options provide good results with minimal side effects, emphasizing the importance of frontal area design for a natural appearance.

Lifestyle changes and medical treatments can help manage infertility in women with PCOS.

In this study, treatment with DHEA induced mild to moderate hyperplasia of sebaceous glands in ovariectomized rats, which was prevented by the antiandrogen Flutamide but not by the antiestrogen EM-800.

Some breast cancer treatments caused long-term hair loss in women, similar to a condition called alopecia areata.

This study found that A-ring reduced derivatives of norethisterone and levonorgestrel exhibit estrogen-like potency in rat osteoblasts, suggesting a mechanism for 19-norprogestins' bone restoration effects in postmenopausal women.

This study found that women with androgenic alopecia often have increased dihydrotestosterone levels, suggesting potentially enhanced activity of 5-alpha-reductase, with the saliva free testosterone level providing valuable hormonal background information.

This study reports that scalp cooling therapies and minoxidil may promote hair regrowth in patients experiencing persistent chemotherapy-induced alopecia, with trichoscopy aiding in treatment assessment.

This study reports that new compounds with anti-androgenic effects were found to counteract testosterone in animals without significant estrogenic activity, indicating potential for managing androgen-related conditions.

This study found that estradiol and other sex steroids reduced the capture of monocytes by human endothelial cells in vitro, potentially inhibiting the formation of atherosclerosis by promoting nCAM polysialylation, which interferes with leukocyte tethering to the vascular endothelium.

This article reviews dermatological problems associated with estrogen deficiency in menopausal women and highlights the importance of dermatologist and gynecologist collaboration, but reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the potential link between smoking and hair loss and suggests that raising awareness about this association could enhance anti-smoking education efforts.

This study reports that chemically induced short anogenital distance in male rat fetuses involved distinctive transcriptional changes, suggesting roles for estrogen and Wnt2 signaling in anogenital tissue development.

This review discusses treatments for female acne, highlighting the effectiveness of low-dose oral contraceptives and noting their similar side effects to placebo; it reports no new clinical results.

In this review, the authors explored how various hormones, particularly IGF-1, GH, estrogens, retinoids, and melatonin, influence human skin aging, highlighting potential new avenues for anti-aging therapies beyond the currently utilized topical retinoids and estrogens.
