In this study, researchers found that serum dihydrotestosterone levels were significantly lower in individuals with Type 2 Diabetes compared to healthy controls, with 90% of diabetics displaying subnormal levels.

This study found that cognitive working memory training may help reduce symptoms of hair-pulling disorder and improve neurocognitive functions in affected individuals.

This study indicates potential differences in the hair spectra of individuals with mood disorders, suggesting a promising, yet preliminary, method for noninvasive prediagnosis.

This review reported that "Social Botox," encompassing both BTX cosmetic use and societal beauty pressures, significantly influences adolescent self-image, driven by social media and cultural standards, with mixed psychological outcomes, potentially enhancing confidence or exacerbating body dissatisfaction across various cultures.

This review discusses cardiovascular risks associated with androgen deprivation therapy in prostate cancer patients and highlights ongoing research, including the potential reduced COVID-19 susceptibility, but reports no new results.

In this rat model of diabetic neuropathic pain, the study found that testosterone metabolites dihydrotestosterone and 3α-diol may have analgesic effects through different mechanisms.

This study suggests that inhibitors of steroidogenic enzymes may have therapeutic potential for certain behavioral disorders linked to dopaminergic hyperfunction, despite concerns about their endocrine impacts.

In this study, BPA rapidly increased dendritic spine and synapse densities in cultured rat hippocampal neurons, with involvement of estrogen receptors and ERK1/2 and p38 pathways, but disrupted dihydrotestosterone's effects on synaptic plasticity.

The MHRA announced on 11 May 2026 that it will update the product information for finasteride and dutasteride to include more details on potential psychiatric and sexual side effects, following a review of existing evidence.

In this case–control study, the researchers in Ukraine found no significant link between VDR rs2228570 polymorphism and decreased serum BDNF levels, though they observed a moderate correlation between serum BDNF and 25-OH Vitamin D levels in patients with thyroid disorders.

More men are using medication for benign prostatic hyperplasia, influenced by marketing and FDA approvals.
