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.

This study found that male pattern baldness may serve as a clinical marker for circulating sex hormone levels in men with localized prostate cancer, while chest hair density showed no significant hormone association.

This review identifies natural plants that possess androgen-related compounds, highlighting the potential of phytoandrogens as alternatives to allopathic treatments for conditions like hypogonadism, impotence, infertility, and erectile dysfunction.

This review discusses sex differences in Parkinson's disease and highlights that while men are more frequently affected, androgen-modulating treatments have not yet proven effective for PD, though 5α-reductase inhibitors show potential for further study.

This article discusses the challenges in treating androgenic alopecia and highlights its potential links to coronary heart disease and metabolic syndrome but reports no new clinical findings.

This chapter reviews signaling pathways related to androgenic alopecia in dermal papilla cells of balding human scalps, integrating published information and analysis of molecular interactions, without reporting new clinical results.

This narrative review concludes that long-term randomized controlled trials are needed to establish clear guidelines for testosterone therapy in women, given the lack of FDA-approved formulations and the variable quality of current treatments.

In this review, the authors discuss various skin conditions linked to hyperandrogenism, such as acne and alopecia, with a focus on androgen-targeted therapies, suggesting these are generally more effective than non-androgen-targeted options.

This study reported that treatment with gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogs and cross-sex hormones appears appropriate for carefully selected youth with gender dysphoria, but long-term safety needs further investigation.

This review discusses the roles of androgens and estrogens in skin functions and disorders, and highlights the use of estrogen-progestin treatments and anti-androgens in managing hirsutism and acne, without reporting new results.

Acne is significantly influenced by genetics, and understanding its genetic basis could lead to better, targeted treatments.

This review highlights the potential for clinicians to recognize skin manifestations as a straightforward method to detect insulin resistance and improve management of diabetes and obesity.

This study indicates that sheep prenatally androgenized with testosterone show wool fiber diameter changes that parallel the increased hair diameter in women with polycystic ovary syndrome.

This review summarizes current knowledge on the diagnosis and treatment of hirsutism but provides no new clinical results.

A Western diet may increase acne risk, while a Mediterranean diet and certain supplements can help reduce it.

This paper reviews the diagnostic criteria, associated morbidities, and possible evolutionary advantages of polycystic ovary syndrome, but does not report any new findings.

This article discusses the clinical presentation, histopathologic findings, and pathogenesis hypotheses of vitiligo without reporting new clinical results.

This study estimates the total cost of evaluating and treating polycystic ovary syndrome in reproductive-aged women in the United States to be $4.36 billion, suggesting more liberal screening could be beneficial.

This article reviews the clinical complications and increased mortality risks associated with Cushing's syndrome but does not present new clinical data; it emphasizes the need for prompt treatment to mitigate these risks.

This guideline outlines the management of systemic lupus erythematosus in adults but reports no new clinical findings.

This review discusses the classification and diagnosis of pregnancy-related skin conditions and reports no new clinical findings.

In this study, administering 5alpha-reductase inhibitors reduced dihydrotestosterone levels and was associated with mild, reversible decreases in semen parameters in healthy men.

This review discusses recent advancements in understanding and managing congenital adrenal hyperplasia, including improvements in screening, diagnostics, and potential genetic and cell-based treatments, but reports no new clinical findings.

This review summarizes proposed pathophysiological mechanisms of postpartum depression, highlighting neuroendocrine and neurobiological changes, but reports no new findings and calls for integrated understanding of the disorder.

This study identified a 69 bp deletion in the KRT75 gene as the cause of the frizzle feather trait in chickens, affecting feather curling.

This study identified WNT10A as crucial for adult epithelial cell proliferation and differentiation, suggesting β-catenin pathway activation may help address regenerative defects in WNT10A mutation patients.

This study identified novel compound heterozygous mutations in the DSG4 gene in a Japanese patient with congenital hypotrichosis, suggesting overlap between localized autosomal recessive hypotrichosis and monilethrix.

This study proposes the miR-22-5p-LEF1 axis as a novel pathway that may regulate hair follicle stem cell proliferation.

This review discusses oxidative stress's role in polycystic ovary syndrome and examines various biomarkers to understand its impact on the disorder's pathogenesis, but reports no new clinical results.

This article discusses a proposed "Darwinian" model of carcinogenesis and emphasizes that cancer prevention involves more than avoiding mutagens, as gene-environment interactions are complex and non-linear.
