Androstenedione, a hormone supplement, doesn't improve muscle or performance and can cause harmful side effects.

This review discusses the role of androgens in women's skin-related conditions like acne, hirsutism, and female pattern hair loss, noting the lack of dermatology guidelines for when to pursue endocrinologic evaluation.

This article discusses the complex pathogenesis of hirsutism and reports no new clinical results; further research is needed for better diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.

This study highlights that lower testosterone in men and higher testosterone in women are linked to increased risks of metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes, with associated skin diseases indicating potential cardiovascular complications.

This report describes a possible case of burn-induced bullous pemphigoid, as the disease was transient and did not recur, suggesting a potential link between burns and the condition.

In this study, researchers found that the efflux of calcium in root hairs of Arabidopsis thaliana, particularly through the ER-localized ACA2 and ACA7, is crucial for modulating cytoplasmic calcium signals and enabling proper root hair growth, with disruptions leading to impaired elongation.

In this study, XZYFD, a Traditional Chinese Medicine formulation, was found to improve androgenetic alopecia in a testosterone-induced mouse model by promoting hair regrowth, restoring follicular morphology, and modulating androgen metabolism, MAPK signaling, and lipid metabolism pathways, suggesting potential benefits for patients with metabolic dysfunction.

In this study conducted at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, researchers reported that males with androgenetic alopecia had significantly higher levels of serum LH, prolactin, testosterone, DHEA-S, and free androgen index, and lower levels of serum FSH and SHBG compared to those without hair loss.

This study evaluated hormonal differences in males with early androgenetic alopecia, finding increased serum testosterone, prolactin, LH, LH/FSH, and FAI levels, with decreased FSH and SHBG levels, compared to controls without hair loss.

This study found a significant negative correlation between serum SHBG levels and androgenetic alopecia severity in women, but not in men, while no significant correlation was observed for testosterone, estradiol, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate, and vitamin D levels with hair loss severity across genders.

This study found that female pattern hair loss is the most common type of diffuse hair loss in women, with significant associations observed between chronic telogen effluvium, low iron levels, and high total iron-binding capacity.

This study found that the gene for the enzyme aromatase is expressed in scalp hair follicles of women and is negatively correlated with LH levels, potentially reflecting the hormonal environment of hair follicles in PCOS.

This study found that men with early-onset androgenetic alopecia who also met criteria for the male PCOS-equivalent may have impaired gonadal steroidogenesis, suggesting increased risk of future gonadal dysfunction.

This study found that in female androgenetic alopecia, androgen receptors are highly positive in affected areas, supporting their role as regulators of genetically predisposed hair follicles despite normal serum hormone levels.

This study found that miniaturized hair follicles from pattern alopecia can regenerate rapidly when transplanted onto mice and may grow as well as or better than terminal hairs.

The researchers reported two brothers with a new variant of X-linked trichothiodystrophy associated with an RNF113A gene mutation, highlighting features such as intellectual disability and growth failure, but without previously reported endocrinological or genital abnormalities, underlining the importance of genetic counseling for such variants.

This study observed that lectin-binding patterns in skin appendage tumors reveal differences in sweat gland tumors compared to normal tissues, but pilosebaceous tumors maintained a similar lectin-binding pattern to their corresponding normal structures.

This study reported higher dihydrotestosterone and testosterone levels in balding Korean and Caucasian subjects compared to non-balding controls, with variations suggesting racial differences in androgen metabolism.

This paper discusses how studying hair follicles in the balding scalp could reveal fundamental biological processes, without reporting new experimental findings.

This study suggests that any baldness, particularly moderate balding, is associated with a higher risk of fatal prostate cancer in men, supporting a possible link between hair loss and prostate cancer mechanisms.

This study found that women with androgenetic alopecia showed higher levels of certain hormones and lower levels of sex hormone-binding globulin than healthy controls, potentially linking these factors to alopecia severity.

A deep learning model was developed to help diagnose trichothiodystrophy by analyzing hair patterns.

Fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution is a unique hair loss condition with inflammation and scarring, resembling but distinct from common balding.

In this study, women with male pattern alopecia had significantly lower serum sex hormone binding globulin levels compared to healthy controls, while testosterone levels remained similar.

This study found that epithelial components of calcifying epithelioma of Malherbe showed lectin binding and keratin staining patterns similar to normal hair follicles, with prominent Con A staining in tumor giant cells.

This study identified a novel V26M mutation in the vitamin D receptor as the cause of hereditary vitamin D resistant rickets in a patient, characterized by severe rickets and an unusual pattern of alopecia.

This study found that IGFBP-5 may play a significant regulatory role in the hair follicle development of Inner Mongolia Cashmere goats, with more consistent expression patterns across different stages.

This study suggests that nephronectin (NPNT) could serve as a novel prognostic marker for poor prognosis in a subgroup of breast cancer patients, associated with specific NPNT staining patterns.

Balding men have harder scalps.

Using minoxidil on balding men's scalps can increase hair growth, according to a 12-month study.
