In this study, daughters of women with PCOS and control daughters showed no significant differences in metabolic and hormonal parameters, but more PCOS daughters exhibited hirsutism at advanced pubertal stages.

This review discusses the extragenital effects of ovarian steroids, particularly focusing on aesthetic endocrinology, which suggests estrogens may slow skin aging post-menopause, though hair loss treatment efficacy is mainly confirmed for minoxidil.

This review discusses the impact of testosterone therapy on postmenopausal women's sexual function and well-being but notes a lack of long-term safety studies and debates on defining androgen insufficiency.

In this article, the authors reviewed essential terminology and recommendations for creating a welcoming healthcare environment for transgender patients and providing gender-affirming therapy, emphasizing the unique health needs and disparities faced by this population.

This review discusses various sex hormones and related compounds, including estrogens and anabolic steroids, but reports no new findings; it highlights existing literature from 2014 regarding their use and effects.

This study found that inhibiting AP1 transcription factor activity in the suprabasal epidermis of mice alters keratinocyte gene expression, reducing barrier integrity and mimicking human keratoderma.

This study found that a ketogenic diet was linked to lower weight loss outcomes in obese or overweight women with PCOS.

The researchers in this study conducted a comparative analysis of hair and body shampoos, finding notable physicochemical differences, such as body shampoos having lower surface tension and higher foam heights, while hair shampoos were more acidic, potentially to meet different biological and sensory needs.

This study found that individuals with androgenetic alopecia experience significantly higher symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress compared to controls, along with reduced self-esteem and life satisfaction, highlighting the importance of addressing psychological well-being in clinical treatments.

In this study, researchers identified two person-centered sexual function profiles among women, linked to physical and psychological factors, with PCOS showing greater, though not significant, presence in the dysfunction profile. The dysfunction was associated with higher adiposity and body-image distress.

This study explored a multidimensional approach to examine body hairs' physico-chemical properties, potentially supporting their use over scalp hairs in forensic and intoxication studies.

This study found that chronic administration of finasteride affected the isotopic composition of testosterone and nandrolone metabolites, impacting the drug-testing outcomes in athletic contexts.

This study observed that bacterial communities on scalp hair collected through non-invasive swabbing showed similar diversity and composition to those obtained by cutting or removing hair, suggesting that swabbing is an effective method for microbiome analysis on hair.

This review summarizes the application of genome wide association studies and selection signature analyses in sheep and goat breeding in China, highlighting genomic regions that influence traits like reproductive performance and body size.

This study investigated the hair of German shepherd dogs, revealing variations in color, shape, and band patterns across different body regions, while all hair types shared similar anatomical structures such as continuous, vacuolated medullas and cuticular scales with smooth or rippled margins.

In this study, researchers analyzed adverse event reports from the FAERS database to identify safety concerns associated with ipilimumab in elderly patients, noting common issues like gastrointestinal events and new signals such as orchitis and alopecia areata, with timing influenced by body weight.

During LIFEHOUSE, researchers documented distinct patterns of physical exam findings and biomarker abnormalities in 369 adult employees, which may aid clinicians in recognizing wellness challenges and preventing chronic diseases associated with aging.

This chapter reviews the clinical effects of androgens like testosterone and its metabolites on various body systems and life stages, but reports no new results.

This study reviewed literature to evaluate how regular physical activity affects women with PCOS, finding that both aerobic and resistance exercises can significantly improve insulin resistance, body composition, cardiorespiratory fitness, and mental health while reducing PCOS symptoms.

In this study, researchers are constructing a comprehensive data set from 997 adult participants in Japan to develop a statistical model that explores the relationships among various health parameters, aiming to enable personalized and preventive health care interventions based on empirical data.

This study found that lifestyle interventions improved body composition, hyperandrogenism, and insulin resistance in women with PCOS, but did not affect glucose tolerance, lipid profiles, or clinical reproductive outcomes.

This study determined the broad class and molecular species of glycerophospholipids in Eastern red bat sebum, highlighting differences from previous bat lung surfactant studies.

This study used single-cell RNA sequencing to map the cellular composition of sheep hair follicles, revealing differentiation pathways and potential molecular mechanisms for wool curvature, which may inform sheep breeding.

This study conducted a genome-wide association analysis on 1,125 ewes and identified 24 SNPs associated with wool production traits, and highlighted potential candidate genes like ADAR and TP53 for further research into the genetic mechanisms influencing wool growth in sheep.

This study found that proteomic analysis can distinguish hair samples across different ethnicities and body regions based on keratin protein levels, which may aid forensic hair identification.

This study observed that eliminating positional error in hair segment analysis can improve understanding of changes in isotopic composition, aiding the identification of pathological conditions and dietary patterns.

This narrative review found that fragrances and isothiazolinone preservatives in deodorants are key contributors to skin sensitization, while magnesium hydroxide shows promise as a less irritating alternative for managing body odor without blocking sweat ducts.

In this study, the inclusion of a feedstuff high in energy along with soybean meal enhanced body condition, body mass index, and reproductive performance in sheep fed low-protein forage.

This review discusses the growing use of scalp hair for elemental analysis in various fields and highlights advancements in analysis techniques, including the future potential of laser ablation ICP-MS, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that variations in mineral content of hair, such as increased Zr in asthma and respiratory infections, may be linked to different illnesses, suggesting potential diagnostic use.
