January 2022 in “Journal of neuroendocrinology” This study found that Arc/Arg3.1 expression in hippocampal neurons is regulated by sex steroids in a sex-dependent manner, with E2 increasing expression in females and DHT in males.
3 citations
,
August 2021 in “Nutrition research” This study suggests that estrogen regulates vitamin A metabolism in skin tissues in a sex-dependent manner, which may have implications for treating acne, hair loss, and skin immunity.

,
January 2023 in “Redox Report” This study found that estradiol significantly reduces cisplatin-induced cochlear hair cell death in mice, likely by activating Nrf2 and phase II detoxification enzymes.
2 citations
,
August 2021 in “Experimental and Therapeutic Medicine” This study suggested that moxibustion treatment before or at the early stage of diminished ovarian reserve in rats may improve ovarian function by modulating androgen balance, though its effects differ across intervention timings.
2 citations
,
March 2020 in “Baghdad Science Journal” This study found that among men with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia, treatment with the 5α-reductase inhibitor finasteride for three months significantly reduced levels of dihydrotestosterone and estradiol, hormones involved in prostate enlargement, without altering follicle-stimulating hormone or luteinizing hormone levels.

May 2017 in “Maturitas” Women with premature ovarian insufficiency have a worse cardiovascular risk profile than premenopausal women.
1 citations
,
November 2024 in “World Journal of Biology Pharmacy and Health Sciences” This study observed that in infertile females, those with PCOS had higher BMI, increased LH levels, and altered LH/FSH ratios compared to non-PCOS females, although no significant correlation was found between BMI and hormone levels among the PCOS group.
1 citations
,
November 2023 in “Endocrine Connections” This study developed a validated gas chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry assay to assess sex steroid hormones in cerebrospinal fluid, finding substantial levels of DHEA, androstenedione, and testosterone, with strong correlations to serum levels, providing insight into sex steroid dynamics in the human CNS.
1 citations
,
October 2023 in “Frontiers in endocrinology” This study found that sex hormone-binding globulin promotes facial aging, while sex steroid hormones such as testosterone and estradiol inhibit it, with growth hormone levels showing no significant effect.
1 citations
,
November 2023 in “Journal of Microbiology and Biotechnology” This study reported that immortalizing human dermal papilla cells using HPV16 E6/E7 oncogenes increased their proliferation and maintained their hair follicle formation capability, potentially facilitating in vitro hair growth and regeneration research.

December 2022 in “Genes” This study found that recombinant oleosin-hFGF5 expressed in Arabidopsis can inhibit hair regeneration by decreasing the proliferation of hair follicle epithelial cells.
January 2026 in “International Journal of Women s Health” This study found that a nomogram prediction model based on clinical characteristics, bone metabolism, and ovarian function can effectively predict the treatment response to long-acting GnRHa in girls with idiopathic central precocious puberty.
July 2025 in “The Egyptian Journal of Hospital Medicine” This study found that serum GPER-1 levels may serve as a biomarker for differentiating androgenetic alopecia from telogen effluvium and healthy controls, although its ability to distinguish between AGA and TE is limited.
