This study reported that transgenic mice with targeted TNF alpha expression in keratinocytes showed impaired weight gain, retarded hair growth, and skin changes, leading to cachexia and necrosis.

Caffeine becomes more toxic in rats when food intake is reduced by over 50%.

This study found that co-administering sasam-Kyeongokgo with gefitinib enhanced gefitinib's anti-tumor activity and exhibited favorable anti-cachexia effects in mice with non-small-cell lung cancer.

In this study, researchers found that estrogens activate and androgens inhibit brown adipose tissue thermogenesis via the VMH, affecting energy balance and suggesting targets for treating cachexia and obesity.

This article reviews the potential clinical use of anabolic steroids in treating muscle loss from chronic diseases and aging and highlights both the benefits and risks of these substances in sports.

This report describes a fatal case of Trypanosoma congolense infection in a dog imported to France from Africa, highlighting the risk associated with corticosteroid treatment in such cases.

This study identified that certain diseases, including AIDS and systemic lupus erythematosus, may cause African hair to change to a silky, wavy texture similar to neonatal hair in affected patients.

This report describes a case of a 75-year-old woman whose diagnosis of hypopituitarism led to significant weight gain and improved physical function with treatment, highlighting the potential for overcoming frailty when investigating underlying causes in elderly patients.

This case report presents a patient with diabetes mellitus thought to be secondary to chronic arsenic exposure, highlighting the potential need to evaluate heavy metal toxicity in similar cases.

This study found that selective androgen receptor modulators (SARMs) significantly inhibited tumor growth and metastasis-promoting factors in AR-positive triple-negative breast cancer models.

This study found that androgens increase Odc1 expression in skeletal muscle myoblasts, promoting proliferation and delaying differentiation.

This review discusses AR-modulating agents developed between 2012 and 2018, highlighting challenges with ligand-binding domain antagonists and proposing nonconventional approaches targeting other domains as promising strategies.

This case report describes a 27-year-old man hospitalized with fatigue, myalgias, weakness, profound weight loss, and abnormal liver function, leading to a diagnosis after chest imaging revealed pneumomediastinum.

This review highlights the potential therapeutic applications of nandrolone, an anabolic steroid, for male health, but notes that more human studies are needed due to limited existing literature.

This review discusses the nature, diagnosis, and control of mange in rabbits, focusing on its zoonotic implications and currently available treatment strategies, and reports no clinical results.

In this study using a mouse model, the authors reported that the synthetic antioxidant TS-13 effectively inhibited tumor growth comparably to doxorubicin and reduced chemotherapy side effects, such as weight loss, splenotoxicity, and alopecia, more effectively when combined with the cytostatic treatment.

In this case study, a 30-year-old woman with symptoms including fever, joint pain, and skin ulcers was diagnosed with Lupus Vasculitis and treated with steroids, mycophenolate mofetil, and hydroxychloroquine after tests showed positive anti-nuclear and anti-Ro antibodies and reduced serum complement levels.

This review examined mechanisms regulating muscle repair, highlighting disruptions in aging and chronic diseases like Duchenne muscular dystrophy and diabetes. It noted that chronic inflammation and metabolic dysfunction hinder effective regeneration and discussed emerging therapies, suggesting multi-target approaches could be promising despite limited clinical evidence.

This study describes cases of diffuse alopecia and thyroid alterations in sheep, linking selenium and zinc deficiencies to decreased serum T3 and T4 concentrations and related skin conditions.

This case report documents a cat with necrolytic migratory erythema due to glucagonoma and diabetes mellitus, highlighting similarities to glucagonoma syndrome in humans.

This study found that GTx-024 significantly increased total lean body mass and improved physical function in healthy elderly men and postmenopausal women, suggesting potential use for muscle wasting conditions.

This article discusses the role of the androgen receptor in regulating development and homeostasis, and reviews treatment approaches for conditions related to hormone imbalances, without reporting new clinical findings.

In a study on muscle regeneration in mice, researchers found that platelet-secreted CXCL7 is crucial for recruiting neutrophils to injury sites, aiding early muscle repair and optimal regrowth, suggesting potential therapeutic uses for boosting muscle healing.

This review discusses the cardiovascular risks associated with anabolic-androgenic steroid use and reports that, despite known toxic effects, further research is needed to clarify the causality of these risks.

Food deprivation increases MST enzyme in the brain, possibly affecting energy balance.

This article discusses laboratory and physical markers that may help detect androgenic anabolic steroid abuse in athletes and reports no new primary research results.

This study proposes an innovative treatment for stretch marks by combining skinbooster and microneedling techniques, which induce tissue remodeling and collagen synthesis, and suggests using confocal microscopy as a valuable tool for monitoring skin changes in aesthetic dermatology.

This study found that in female breast cancer patients, supplementation with 400 mg IND02 (Cinnamon bark extract) thrice daily during chemotherapy significantly reduced severe weight loss and hair loss compared to placebo, with the treatment being well-tolerated and safe.

This study reports the crystallization of the human androgen receptor's ligand-binding domain with nonsteroidal ligands, which may aid in understanding the differences in binding compared to steroidal ligands.

In this study, 22 pet rabbits with symptoms of itching and hair loss were found to have mite infestations, which were successfully treated with a combination of medications including ivermectin, resulting in recovery within 45 days.
