This study found that policemen aged 40-59 years had a twofold higher prevalence of androgenetic alopecia compared to the general population, with obesity and sunlight exposure contributing to the risk.

This joint position paper by several Polish medical societies examines guidelines and recommendations for managing conditions like obesity, hypertension, and liver disease, underscoring the importance of a collaborative, interdisciplinary approach in treatment. Results are not explicitly reported.

This study found that genetic polymorphisms of OCT1 influence the effectiveness of metformin treatment in improving insulin sensitivity among PCOS patients, suggesting a role for personalized treatment strategies.

This study found that higher Lnk expression in PCOS patients may contribute to insulin resistance by inhibiting insulin signaling pathways.

This study found that CD26+ fibroblasts are crucial for effective extracellular matrix production and achieving rapid epidermal and dermal homeostasis in human tissue-engineered skin substitutes transplanted onto rodents.

This study suggests that the gene rs27647 polymorphism may play a role in the pathogenesis of severe acne vulgaris in post-adolescent male patients.

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

In this study, children with classical congenital adrenal hyperplasia were found to have increased epicardial fat thickness, which was associated with subclinical atherosclerosis markers and left ventricular dysfunction, especially in poorly controlled cases.

This review discusses gene polymorphisms in COVID-19 patients but reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that co-administering glucocorticoids with 5α-reductase inhibitors exacerbated the adverse metabolic effects of glucocorticoids in healthy men.

In this study, exposure to the drug finasteride in Silurana tropicalis significantly increased testosterone levels in liver and testis tissues and altered gene expression related to male reproduction and oxidative stress.

This study found that Greek women with classic PCOS phenotypes have a higher risk of metabolic syndrome and impaired glucose homeostasis compared to those with newer PCOS phenotypes.

In this study, researchers found that overweight and obese women with polycystic ovary syndrome showed adverse changes in glucose metabolism over time, highlighting the importance of early intervention to prevent cardiometabolic diseases.

This study reported that both phlebotomy and oral contraceptive pills with cyproterone acetate effectively improved insulin resistance and androgenic profiles in women with PCOS, but OCs had more impact on regularizing menstrual cycles.

This study found that overweight women with polycystic ovary syndrome carrying the HSD3B1 1245C allele had an increased presence of female pattern hair loss compared to those with the wild-type genotype.

This study found that 45.8% of women with polycystic ovarian syndrome in the reproductive age group had metabolic syndrome, with low HDL and high triglycerides being significant characteristics.

This study found that injecting keratin into the skin of mice promoted hair growth, potentially through keratin's interaction with hair-forming cells and changes in the microenvironment.

In this study, five-year testosterone replacement therapy improved fasting blood sugar, HbA1c, and triglyceride levels in Japanese hypogonadal men without significantly affecting prostate-specific antigen levels.

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 reported that newly synthesized nonsteroidal compounds were effective at inhibiting prostatic 5 alpha reductase isozyme 2, especially the compound with an N, N-diisopropylcarbamoyl substituent, suggesting potential for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia.

This study found that older patients with Cushing's syndrome had fewer typical symptoms of hypercortisolism, more comorbidities, and were more often treated conservatively compared to younger patients.

This study identified an association between premature hair greying and larger waist circumference among young healthy subjects.

This review examines the long-term health risks of anabolic-androgenic steroid abuse in athletes, reporting various physical and psychological side effects without sufficient benefits.

This study found that hypertensive patients with severe androgenic alopecia exhibited impaired coronary microcirculation, suggesting they may face increased cardiovascular risk.

This case report describes a man who ingested a large amount of topical minoxidil solution and experienced serious and prolonged cardiovascular effects despite rapidly decreasing serum concentration levels.

This study found that serum steroid profiling, particularly 11-deoxycortisol, can effectively differentiate between ACC and ACA, while considering sex differences and functional status for other steroids is important.

This study found that patients with hidradenitis suppurativa had lower trabecular bone score and total hip bone mineral density compared to controls, with a high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency.

This study found that in male rats, hesperidin co-administration ameliorated finasteride-induced testicular toxicity by reducing oxidative stress and improving antioxidant status, sperm parameters, and enzyme activity compared to finasteride treatment alone.

This study found that among women with polycystic ovary syndrome, insulin resistance was more strongly associated with cardio-metabolic abnormalities than β-cell dysfunction, and they showed different correlations with obesity.

This study found that ferritin levels were positively associated with insulin resistance in non-diabetic Korean men and postmenopausal women, but not in premenopausal women.
