This review discusses the impact of ACE polymorphism on COVID-19 severity, suggesting it affects adults more than children, but presents mixed findings concerning infection prevalence and mortality.

This review discusses the clinical evaluation and investigation needed for hirsute women, suggesting that most cases require minimal testing unless virilism or severe symptoms are present; no new clinical results are provided.

In this study, researchers used advanced four-dimensional optical imaging techniques to observe changes in skin afflicted with acne, finding increased epidermal thickness, keratinized hair follicles, inflammation, and aggregated blood flow, helping to distinguish between inflammation and reparative phases of acne progression.

This chapter reviews the causes and underlying steroid pathways of hirsutism and virilization in women, detailing relevant conditions and laboratory assays without reporting new clinical results.

This study identified Aquilaria sinensis and Piper cubeba as tropical plants with potential anti-androgenic and anti-estrogenic properties that could help prevent or alleviate benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostate cancer.

Finasteride may help prevent prostate cancer.

This review highlights that Serenoa repens exhibits anti-androgenic and anti-inflammatory activities, potentially alleviating benign prostate hyperplasia symptoms, with phytosterols and fatty acids as key active constituents, while suggesting more research into additional medicinal uses and phytochemicals is needed.

This chapter reviews the uses and evidence for saw palmetto in treating lower urinary tract symptoms in men with benign prostate hyperplasia, but finds no strong support for its effect on hair loss.

This study found that the synthesized compound 7b exhibited higher 5α-reductase inhibitory activity, increased solubility, and dissolution compared to finasteride, suggesting its potential as a lead compound for benign prostatic hyperplasia treatment.

This review examines microbial production and applications of gluconic acid, focusing on the enzymatic processes involved, and offers no new experimental results.

This review discusses the challenges in measuring testosterone for assessing androgen excess in women and emphasizes the importance of quality control in laboratory methods, but it reports no new clinical results.

This article reviews the challenges in diagnosing mild hyperandrogenism in adolescent girls, discussing potential causes like PCOS and treatment options, but reports no new clinical results.

Blood AMH levels are higher in women with PCOS than in those with other similar conditions.

Acne in dark skin is influenced by environmental factors and can lead to hyperpigmentation, with various treatment options available.

Active oxygen species might be involved in skin tumor growth, but their exact role is unclear.

In a rat model of benign prostatic hyperplasia, this study found that purple corn extract may improve symptoms by inhibiting prostate enlargement, reducing androgen receptor signaling, and exerting anti-inflammatory effects.

This study found that aqueous extract of Pueraria mirifica, when administered to a rat model, significantly reduced prostate weight, prostatic index, and serum dihydrotestosterone levels, while also improving prostate histomorphology, suggesting its potential as an anti-BPH treatment.

This study found that Gynostemma pentaphyllum hydrodistillate and Damulin B exert significant anti-photoaging effects in UVB-irradiated models by reducing oxidative stress, improving ECM integrity, and enhancing skin hydration and elasticity.

This study found that incorporating adipose-derived stem cell conditioned medium into a polysaccharide hydrogel effectively reduced scar hyperplasia, with the combination offering better outcomes in preventing hypertrophic scarring compared to the medium alone in a rabbit ear model.

This study in male rats found that Cernitin™ significantly relieved pain and decreased prostate weight in models of chronic prostatitis and benign prostatic hyperplasia, suggesting an anti-inflammatory effect.

This case study reported a 34-year-old woman presenting with secondary amenorrhea, hirsutism, and obesity showed elevated testosterone and anti-Müllerian hormone levels, leading to the exclusion of nonclassical congenital adrenal hyperplasia as a diagnosis.

This study found that Solanum nigrum L. extracts showed potential as 5 alpha-reductase inhibitors, similar to finasteride, and highlighted their promise for treating androgenic diseases like benign prostatic hyperplasia and male pattern hair loss.

This study found that oral administration of Curcuma longa L. extract in castrated rats with benign prostate hyperplasia reduced pro-inflammatory cytokine expression, suggesting a potential anti-inflammatory effect.

This study identified ten novel compounds that may effectively target steroid 5 alpha-reductase 2 (5αR-2) for potential treatment of benign prostate hyperplasia, exhibiting comparable binding energies to existing drugs like finasteride and dutasteride.

This study found that Zhuangyao Jianshen pill significantly improved prostate health in testosterone-induced benign prostatic hyperplasia in castrated rats by modulating sex hormones and reducing inflammation and oxidative stress.

In this study, high-dose Arachis hypogaea root extract significantly reduced prostate weight and markers of glandular hyperplasia in testosterone-induced BPH in mice, with associated changes in inflammatory gene expression and beneficial shifts in gut microbiota.

In this study, the bark of Spondias mombin showed potential anti-tumor effects in rats with induced cancer, reducing symptoms like hair loss and low food intake, but tachycardia was noted as a possible side effect.

This article discusses drugs with anti-androgenic effects and their mechanisms but reports no new research findings.

This study observed that human skin exhibits acute and chronic histological changes due to tick bites, including inflammation and changes in hair follicles, influenced by tick saliva and possible infections.
