This review indicates that estrogen loss during menopause significantly impacts skin health, while estrogen treatment may increase skin collagen, thickness, and elasticity, though effects on other skin characteristics are inconsistent.

This study found that serum androgen levels in premenopausal women may be influenced by genetic variants of the androgen receptor and estrogen receptor β genes.

This study demonstrates that locally synthesized estrogen and androgen neurosteroids play opposite roles in long-term synaptic changes in male rats' medial vestibular nucleus, with testosterone-dihydrotestosterone mediating long-term depression and 17β-estradiol mediating long-term potentiation.

This review discusses the diagnostic challenges of androgen and estrogen-secreting adrenal tumors and highlights that the presence of metastases is the most reliable indicator of malignancy; it reports no new clinical findings.

This review discusses the potential role of vitamin D deficiency in cardiovascular and renal diseases and suggests that supplemental vitamin D could benefit cardiovascular outcomes, especially in African American and postmenopausal women; it reports no new clinical findings.

This review summarizes how common polymorphisms in androgen and estrogen receptor genes may influence aging-related symptoms and diseases in men, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study analyzed self-reports from discussion forums to categorize and understand adverse effects experienced by individuals using finasteride, suggesting a need for further investigation into post-finasteride syndrome.

In this study, researchers found that shorter CA repeats in the ERbeta gene are correlated with PSA expression, and PSA immunoexpression is associated with increased disease-free survival in breast cancer.

This summary reviews the conflicting reports regarding 17β‐estradiol's effects on hair follicle growth, highlighting potential estrogen receptor-mediated impacts and calling for further research.

This study found that all four treatments—flutamide, finasteride, ketoconazole, and EE-CPA—significantly reduced hirsutism, but EE-CPA and flutamide appeared most effective, with varying effects on androgen levels and side-effect profiles.

This study found that flutamide, finasteride, ketoconazole, and EE-CPA all significantly reduced hirsutism scores, hair diameter, and hair growth rate in women with hirsutism over 12 months.

This study found that sex differences in somatostatin biosynthesis in rat hypothalamic neurons develop between postnatal day 1 and 5, influenced by the conversion of testosterone to estrogen.

In this study, certain genetic variations in the ESR1 and ESR2 genes were strongly associated with polycystic ovary syndrome and related metabolic issues in Tunisian women.

This pilot study found elevated levels of leptin and other proinflammatory molecules in the serum of melanoma patients, suggesting a potential role for leptin in melanoma progression and a possibility for targeting it in adjuvant therapy.

This study found that Cnidium officinale extract and its compound ferulic acid improved hair growth by promoting dermal papilla cell function and mitochondrial activity, suggesting their potential as a new treatment option for alopecia, possibly through estrogen receptor alpha activation.

This study identified procyanidin B2 and leucopelargonidin from Saraca asoca as potential inhibitors in PCOS by showing high binding energy scores against key enzymes involved in estrogen and testosterone biosynthesis.

This in vitro study suggests that factors in the serum of PCOS patients may contribute to ovarian dysfunction, evidenced by higher hormone production and primordial follicle survival compared to control sera.

This study found that serum GPER-1 levels were significantly higher in patients with androgenetic alopecia compared to healthy controls, suggesting a potential role in the condition's pathogenesis, independent of gender.

This study found that both finasteride and a regimen of cyproterone acetate plus ethinyl estradiol effectively reduced hirsutism in women, with similar results despite differing hormonal effects.

In this case-control study, researchers observed that women with female pattern hair loss exhibited significantly lower serum IGF-1 levels than controls, while IGFBP-3 levels showed no significant difference, suggesting a potential role for IGF-1 in the condition.

This study found that three months of oral finasteride treatment significantly decreased dihydrotestosterone levels and hair growth in hirsute women without negatively affecting gonadotropin secretion.

This review discusses the changes in androgen levels with age in women and the potential benefits of testosterone replacement therapy as part of hormone replacement therapy for postmenopausal women, but it reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the relationship between SHBG, NAFLD, and PCOS and reports no new clinical results; the authors highlight low hepatic SHBG production as potentially significant in PCOS pathogenesis.

This article summarizes findings on the role of androgens and estrogens in male reproductive tissues across species, highlighting the roles of hormone metabolism, receptor distribution, and stress-induced changes.

This review examines the use of natural remedies, including various herbs, for treating polycystic ovary syndrome, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that SNPs in the MVK, ARPC1B, and CA2 genes may indicate a genetic predisposition for severe acne related to steroidogenesis.

The April 2014 issue of "Fertility and Sterility" discussed various reproductive health topics, including hormone therapy benefits, sperm and genetic factors in male infertility, and the link between PCOS and diabetes.

A pregnant woman's skin condition improved after giving birth, possibly due to high estrogen levels during pregnancy.

This animal study found that Cinnamomi cortex water extract reduced prostate weight and improved histological changes in a benign prostatic hyperplasia model, suggesting potential as a treatment.

This review discusses the roles estrogens play in males and androgens in females, challenging the traditional view of strictly "male" and "female" hormones, but it does not report new experimental findings.
