This study found that among bodybuilder-intended drugs from the black market, 33.8% of labeled products and 52.5% of steroidal oily solutions contained ingredients not matching their labels.

The document explains how certain drugs block hormones to treat cancers like breast and prostate cancer.

This case report uncovered that hidden dexamethasone in a dietary supplement caused misleading Cushingoid symptoms and lab results, underscoring the risk of undisclosed ingredients in supplements.

A new compound was made that might help treat diseases related to male hormones.

In this study, researchers found that finasteride inhibits progesterone synthesis by blocking cholesterol side-chain cleavage in mouse-derived MA-10 Leydig cells, but this effect may not be evident in human or rat cells.

This study evaluated novel steroids' potential as future hormonal therapies for neuroprotection in glucose disorders, but emphasized that further research is needed to optimize androgen antagonist use in the context of COVID-19 progression.

This study found that cyproterone acetate with ethynyl estradiol improved acne and seborrhea within 3–6 months in women, but had less satisfactory results for alopecia and hirsutism.

This study found that treatment with oral contraceptives containing 35mg ethinylestradiol and 2mg cyproterone acetate significantly reduced serum AMH levels in women with clomiphene citrate-resistant polycystic ovary syndrome, unlike metformin.

This article discusses the mechanisms and therapeutic use of antiandrogens, specifically cyproterone acetate and chlormadinone acetate, in gynecological treatments without reporting new clinical results.

In this study, a patient with cystic fibrosis developed iatrogenic Cushing's syndrome due to impaired clearance of budesonide from concurrent itraconazole use, highlighting the need for regular monitoring in such combination therapies.

This case study observed that long-term itraconazole and budesonide use in a cystic fibrosis patient led to iatrogenic Cushing's syndrome due to inhibited metabolic clearance of budesonide, suggesting a need for regular adrenal insufficiency monitoring in such treatments.

This study found that the petroleum ether extract of Citrullus colocynthis fruit and an isolated steroidal compound may reduce prostatic hyperplasia in rats induced by testosterone, suggesting potential use in managing androgen-dependent conditions.

Hormonal contraceptives and related compounds can increase health risks like thrombosis and affect sexual function.

Detecting steroid esters in cattle hair is inconsistent and influenced by sampling factors.

This study suggests that combining testosterone and letrozole may accelerate puberty in boys with constitutional delay by increasing serum androgen bioactivity and facilitating pubertal progression.

This study suggests that the testosterone analogs 7α-Methyltestosterone and 7α-Ethyltestosterone may offer promising androgenic, progestogenic, and anabolic properties for development as male contraceptives.

This article reviews the discovery and various physiological effects of cyproterone acetate, reporting its established indications for several androgen-driven conditions but providing no new clinical data.

This study found that treatment with cyproterone acetate was generally successful for women with virilizing features, showing improved results in younger women and those with adrenal hirsutism, despite some side effects.

This study compared letrozole and clomiphene citrate for ovulation induction in women with polycystic ovary syndrome and found that while clomiphene led to more follicles, monofollicular development and endometrial thickness were higher with letrozole, and pregnancy rates did not significantly differ between the two treatments.

This study used molecular docking to identify stiripentol as a potential new inhibitor of the SRD5A2 enzyme, which is targeted for treating androgen-related diseases; however, in vivo trials are needed to validate its efficacy.

This study concluded that clomiphene citrate is generally preferred over metformin for inducing ovulation in obese women with PCOS, despite low-quality evidence indicating metformin may be superior to placebo for live births.

This research investigated the design and synthesis of steroid-based compounds as aromatase inhibitors for breast cancer, finding that certain structural modifications significantly enhance their inhibitory potency.

This study found that MENT is 10 times more potent than testosterone in suppressing gonadotropins and contributing to anabolism in monkeys, with a potentially wider therapeutic index for human androgen replacement and male contraception.

Formestane is a preferred second-line treatment for advanced breast cancer in postmenopausal women because it's effective and has fewer side effects.

This study found that a low estrogen-containing oral contraceptive normalized hormone levels and improved symptoms in women with polycystic ovary disease, with minimal side effects reported.

This study investigated the modes of action of selected pesticides, suggesting that prochloraz and tebuconazole are linked to reproductive disorders via steroidogenesis disruption, while mancozeb involves inflammatory processes.

This study found that in hamster flank organs, 17βC inhibited enlargement caused by topical testosterone but not by DHT, suggesting potential use in androgen-related skin disorders like acne.

In this study, Neogynon was found to be 100% effective as a contraceptive, with no observed failures in 3129 cycles among 184 women, while side effects included changes in endometrial patterns and some central nervous system effects.
