This study reported that women with polycystic ovarian syndrome have higher serum irisin levels, which are associated with metabolic and hormonal imbalances, including hyperandrogenism, total cholesterol, and visceral fat.

Transgender women have similar fitness to cisgender women, while transgender men have higher fat and lower strength than cisgender men; hormone therapy affects body composition and strength.

In this study, researchers found that men with androgenetic alopecia had higher obesity-related parameters, such as fat percentage and BMI, compared to healthy controls, but observed no differences in cardiovascular markers like CIMT and EFT.

This study found that hair steroid profiling is a feasible, non-invasive alternative to serum analysis in adolescents, with androgen levels correlating more strongly with body size and composition in boys than girls.

This study compared serum and hair steroid hormone profiles in adolescents and found that hair steroid profiling is a feasible, non-invasive alternative to serum analysis, with androgen levels in both mediums correlating more strongly with body size and composition in boys than in girls.

In this study, selective overexpression of androgen receptors in muscle cells increased lean muscle mass and reduced fat mass in transgenic rodents, suggesting a potential target for drug development.

This study developed a method to quantify hormones in skin secretions and found that hormonal composition varies by sex and anatomical site.

This review found limited evidence on the effectiveness of different antiandrogens for feminization in transgender women, suggesting cyproterone acetate, leuprolide, and medroxyprogesterone acetate may better suppress testosterone than spironolactone or estradiol alone.

This article reviews the use of hair analysis in forensic and environmental toxicology for detecting potentially toxic elements and drugs, but it reports no new research findings.

This study tested the acute toxicity of Ficus platyphylla methanol leaf extract in Wistar rats and found no mortality or significant liver enzyme changes at doses up to 5000 mg/kg, suggesting a high margin of acute safety and supporting its traditional use under short-term exposure.

This study found that the methanol leaf extract of Ficus platyphylla demonstrated a high margin of acute safety in Wistar rats, showing minimal risk under short-term exposure with no mortality at doses up to 5000 mg/kg and no significant changes in liver enzyme activities.

In this review, recent studies on muscle atrophy are highlighted, revealing insights into its complex pathogenesis, therapeutic interventions such as hormone therapy, and diagnostic advancements, while emphasizing the need for personalized approaches and addressing challenges like small sample sizes and methodological diversity.

In this study of healthy men, low levels of testosterone and dihydrotestosterone were associated with higher body mass index, fat content, and insulin resistance, but their effects on lipid and glucose metabolism were similar in quality.

In this study, transgenic male mice over-expressing the androgen receptor in mesenchymal stem cells showed reduced fat mass and improved glucose clearance, suggesting enhanced androgen sensitivity may alter body composition.

This study analyzed Sphenodesme involucrata var. paniculata leaves and found high carbohydrate and calcium content, along with several bioactive compounds, supporting their use in traditional medicine for their nutrient-rich properties.

This study observed that individuals with type 1 diabetes mellitus have notably lower levels of essential and trace elements like Calcium, Potassium, and Zinc in biological samples compared to non-diabetic controls.

In this study, organic garlic was found to have higher levels of bioactive elements and stronger antimicrobial properties compared to chemically grown garlic, highlighting the benefits of organic cultivation for enhancing garlic's nutritional and health-promoting qualities.

This study found that γδ T cells play a role in regulating stromal behavior, influencing the composition and vascularity of fibrotic tissues during the foreign body response.

This study found that women with polycystic ovary syndrome have higher body mass index, fat mass percentage, and skinfold thickness compared to women without PCOS.

This study found that testosterone therapy improved physical performance and strength in older men with low testosterone over 36 months, whether administered alone or with finasteride.

In this study, researchers in Baghdad, Iraq found that men with hair loss had higher body fat mass and haematocrit values, and lower blood pressure compared to men without hair loss, suggesting potential links between metabolic and hematologic changes and baldness.

This study found that human meibomian glands differ significantly from free and hair-associated sebaceous glands in morphology and lipid composition, making them highly specialized holocrine glands.

The book discussed in this abstract is a comprehensive guide to hair analysis, detailing the latest methods and applications across various fields such as toxicology and drug monitoring, designed for both newcomers and experts in the field.

This study found that in Chinese goat breeds, specific genetic variations, particularly in Tibetan Cashmere goats, are associated with traits like hair growth and adaptation to high-altitude environments.

In this study, oil body-bound oleosin-rhFGF-10 was more efficiently absorbed through the skin and enhanced wound healing and hair growth in mice, compared to prokaryotically-expressed rhFGF-10.

This study analyzed the composition and cost of 50 cosmetic body scrubs for keratosis pilaris, finding that chemical exfoliants with glycolic acid may reduce symptoms by enhancing skin shedding and reducing water loss, but further clinical studies are needed to confirm their effectiveness.

In this pilot randomized clinical trial, TRT combined with finasteride increased lean mass, muscle size, and bone mineral density without prostate enlargement in men with spinal cord injury, suggesting potential benefits for body composition and musculoskeletal health.

This scoping review explores devices that mechanically process lipoaspirate for cell-based therapies but finds insufficient evidence to determine their clinical effectiveness due to lack of standardization and data variability.

This review discusses guidelines for androgen use in women and concludes that more research is needed before recommending testosterone due to insufficient evidence on safety and efficacy.

This review presents substantial evidence supporting testosterone use for hypoactive sexual desire disorder in postmenopausal women, but notes safety concerns with off-label prescribing due to lack of approved formulations.
