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 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 study observed that gerbils on a fat-deficient diet had altered fatty acid composition in various organs and exhibited hair loss, reduced testis development, and often lower body weight compared to those on a fat-supplemented diet.

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 observed that women with PCOS had significant differences in body composition and some physiological markers compared to healthy women, which may have implications for pregnancy outcomes and long-term health risks.

This study found that women with PCOS had higher body fat and worse insulin resistance than non-PCOS women, with body composition influencing metabolic profiles independently of PCOS status.

This study found that patients with alopecia areata had a lower heart rate compared to healthy controls and showed disease-severity-related changes in body composition, though the clinical importance of these findings is still unclear.

This study investigated the extracellular polysaccharides from the edible green alga Parachlorella sp. BX1.5, finding that they have potential applications in cosmetics and health products due to their stability, antioxidant properties, and effects on hair growth in mice.

This study describes the effects of adrenocorticotropic hormone injections in rats, specifically detailing their stunted body growth and changes in visceral proportions and hematology.

This review discusses the role of the enzyme Δ9-desaturase-1 in skin lipid regulation and whole-body energy balance in mice and reports no new experimental results.

Testosterone boosts physical performance, grip strength, and lean body mass in older men with low testosterone.

This review covers the diverse clinical applications of platelet-rich plasma in regenerative medicine but provides no new clinical results.

This study found that testosterone therapy improved physical performance, strength, lean body mass, and serum cholesterol in older men with low testosterone levels, with or without the addition of finasteride.

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 study found that a combination of low-dose flutamide and metformin therapy may reverse insulin resistance and reduce fat mass in nonobese adolescents with PCOS.

This study found that stress plays a significant role in altering phenotypic features and body composition among PCOS patients, potentially worsening due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

This study found that different doses of methionine altered the composition of developing tooth germs in newborn rats, with incisor and molar germs affected differently but no statistical difference in body weight.

This Mendelian randomization study reports that lifelong increased free testosterone in males was associated with improved bone mineral density and body composition but increased risks of prostate cancer, hypertension, and several other conditions.

This review reports that collagen peptides consistently provide modest improvements in skin hydration and elasticity and varying benefits for body composition and cardiometabolic markers, although effects on blood sugar control are less consistent; variations in source, dose, and study definitions limit generalizability.

This review reports that collagen peptides provide consistent, modest benefits for skin hydration and elasticity, with variable effects on body composition and cardiometabolic risk markers, though some outcomes remain inconsistent due to trial heterogeneity.

In this study, metabolic surgery led to a weight loss of 10.8 to 12.6 kg and improvement in body composition and HbA1c levels among patients from North-Eastern Romania, with nutritional intervention proving safe over six months.

This article discusses PCOS, highlighting its association with insulin resistance and chronic inflammation, and suggests that nutrition, exercise, and supplements may improve body composition and metabolic function, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that metformin therapy is associated with the initiation of ovulatory cycles in women with PCOS and a trend toward reduced 17P responses after six months, but did not improve hirsutism or body composition.

In this thesis, researchers explored ways to enhance the management of myotonic dystrophy type 1 by investigating the genetic inheritance patterns, especially small-sized repeat expansions, and assessing cardiac care, energy expenditure, and body composition in affected individuals.

This study found that women with polycystic ovary syndrome have higher global adiposity and increased visceral fat, particularly in the ip and mesenteric depots, compared to women without androgen excess.

This review discusses the negative health impacts of testosterone deficiency and the potential adverse effects of 5α-reductase inhibitors, emphasizing the need for patient-physician discussions regarding these treatments.

This study found that the Meibomian gland shares structural and cytokeratin composition similarities with hair follicles, and plays a role in hyper-keratinisation observed in obstructive Meibomian gland dysfunction.

This study found that training in a hypoxic chamber did not significantly impact skin features in overweight and obese women, though it did result in a notable reduction in body weight and BMI.

This study found that berberine supplementation improved gut microbiota composition and reduced obesity-related hepatic inflammation and oxidative stress in genetically obese mice.
