This study reports that polycystic ovary syndrome was the most common cause of hirsutism among Indian patients, with 70% of cases associated with this condition.

In a rat model, this study found that a hydrogel incorporating adipose-derived stem cells and nerve growth factor may aid in the recovery of erectile function following cavernous nerve injury.

Older men with lower levels of available testosterone are more likely to be frail.

This study found that pregnancies with gestational diabetes in a Midwestern U.S. cohort demonstrated elevated androgen levels compared to healthy controls, suggesting a common relationship between impaired glucose tolerance and hyperandrogenemia across diverse ethnic backgrounds.

This study found that AGA patients had higher serum and epidermal irisin levels, which were associated with metabolic syndrome, dyslipidemia, and abnormal carotid intima media thickness, suggesting potential irisin resistance affecting cardiometabolic health.

Among women with hirsutism studied, this research found a high prevalence of acne, particularly associated with polycystic ovarian syndrome and endocrine changes.

This case report emphasizes the importance of recognizing non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia as a cause of hyperandrogenism and the need for genetic counseling given potential familial implications.

In this study, the authors concluded that COVID-19 may not cause direct long-term harm to testicular function, but temporary indirect effects could occur, suggesting a possible delay in pursuing parenthood post-recovery.

This review discusses the clinical use of anti-androgen medications and highlights emerging evidence supporting plant-derived anti-androgens like spearmint tea for managing PCOS, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that environmental factors such as smoking, alcohol consumption, exercise, and testosterone levels may significantly influence various forms of hair loss in male identical twins.

In this study, women with polycystic ovary syndrome showed adverse lipoprotein profile changes that increase cardiovascular risk, which were found to be more closely related to androgen levels than body weight.

This review discusses the potential of herbal treatments like Saw palmetto, Green tea, and Rosemary as alternatives to conventional drugs for androgenetic alopecia, noting that these herbs may inhibit the 5-alpha-reductase enzyme and reduce hair loss with fewer side effects.

This study found that among Filipino women, a modified Ferriman-Gallwey score of 7 or above indicates hirsutism and is significantly associated with elevated calculated free testosterone.

This study found that calculated parameters like free testosterone and bioavailable testosterone were higher in women with hirsutism and PCOS compared to controls, suggesting these might better assess hyperandrogenemia than measured hormone values.

This study found that α-spinasterol treatment significantly reduced testosterone propionate-induced prostatic hyperplasia in rats, suggesting potential benefits for managing benign prostatic hyperplasia.

This review discusses various targets for treating prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia and reports on recent studies of new compounds and 5α-reductase inhibitors, but provides no new experimental results.

This study found that women with polycystic ovary syndrome in China had elevated androgen levels compared to healthy controls, and suggests body weight management and SHBG and FAI testing are recommended for these women.

This study found that androsterone glucuronate (ADT-G) was the only androgenic metabolite sensitive to detecting differences between adult women with acne and controls, and its levels decreased with systemic treatment.

In this study, Leonuri Herba alkaloids significantly reduced prostate hyperplasia indicators and improved urinary parameters in hormone-induced model rats.

This review covers cell transplantation methods for genitourinary reconstruction, discussing tissue sources and complications but presenting no new clinical findings.

This abstract highlights that Theobroma cacao, commonly associated with chocolate, has potential benefits for hair health beyond its culinary appeal, though specific results are not reported.

This study presents a case where a young male with cryptogenic stroke and patent foramen ovale, using finasteride, experienced symptomatic improvement after PFO closure and discontinuing finasteride, suggesting cardiovascular risks associated with the drug.

This review examined moringa seed oil's potential to combat alopecia, reporting that its phytosterol and fatty acid compounds may block dihydrotestosterone formation and support healthy hair growth.

This study observed that androgenic hormone levels were higher in high school girls with PCOS phenotypes accompanied by menstrual disorders, particularly oligomenorrhea.

This review discusses treatments for androgenic alopecia, noting that current options like finasteride and minoxidil are effective for only 10% of patients, thus highlighting the need for new therapies.

This study concluded that phytotherapy offers a potentially effective and safer alternative to conventional treatments for androgenetic alopecia by reducing hair loss progression without the usual adverse effects.

This article reviews the clinical features, diagnostic criteria, and possible genetic and environmental influences of polycystic ovary syndrome but provides no new research findings.

This review discusses the role of androgens in the progression of cardiovascular disease and explores novel therapeutic targets without reporting new clinical results.

The guidelines advise against using testosterone and DHEA in women for most conditions due to safety and effectiveness concerns, but suggest considering testosterone for postmenopausal women with low sexual desire.

This study found that women with polycystic ovary syndrome have higher rates of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, with androgen excess contributing to the risk.
