This study found that inhibiting prolactin secretion during the telogen phase can reduce the number of activated secondary hair follicles and the width of hair bulbs.

This study found that skin-derived precursor cells in mice can originate from both neural crest and somite lineages but show functional similarities regardless of their developmental origins.

This review examines the methods and challenges in androgen laboratory diagnostics, discussing their advantages, limitations, and evolution; it presents no new experimental results.

This study identified an unexpected critical role for the FATP4 protein in skin and hair development in mice, linking it to a potential candidate gene for restrictive dermopathy in humans.

This study concluded that there is no association between male pattern baldness and the severity or presence of coronary artery disease as measured by Gensini and Rentrop scores.

This study found that young indigenous South Asian women with polycystic ovary syndrome are more likely to be centrally obese and have metabolic syndrome, particularly with increasing age, higher BMI, and acanthosis nigricans.

The researchers reported that finasteride treatment in male rats may lead to changes in antioxidant enzyme activity in their offspring's epididymis, potentially affecting sperm maturation.

This study found that among patients with systemic lupus erythematosus, the absence of skin rash and low levels of complement C3 were significant risk factors for developing lupus nephritis, with their combination demonstrating good predictive diagnostic value.

Finasteride boosts morphine's pain relief, stops tolerance, and reduces withdrawal in rats.

This study found that KH053, combining Panax ginseng and bee-pollen, significantly reduced prostate weight and DHT levels, inhibiting BPH development in a rat model.

This review summarizes recent research and patents on 17β-HSD3, 17β-HSD5, and 3α-HSD3 inhibitors, suggesting their potential in treating androgen-dependent diseases, but reports no new clinical results.

This research suggests that phytoestrogen-rich herbal extracts may help reduce hyperandrogenism, insulin resistance, and ovarian weight while promoting ovulation in polycystic ovarian syndrome, indicating potential for discovering new bioactive compounds.

This review highlights the need for a deeper understanding of 5alpha-reductases and neuroactive steroids to reduce potential adverse effects of 5alpha-reductase inhibitors used for conditions like benign prostatic hyperplasia and androgenic alopecia, but reports no new clinical results.

The researchers reported that the rat Hershberger assay reliably detected endocrine-disrupting effects of finasteride, procymidone, and 17α-methyltestosterone, validating the assay's sensitivity for identifying hormonal activity.

In this study of male patients with 46,XY 5α-reductase type 2 deficiency, DHT therapy was effective in achieving penile enlargement during infancy, while testosterone replacement therapy proved more beneficial during puberty, possibly due to increased conversion to DHT.

In this animal study, exposure to 150 kHz electromagnetic radiation significantly reduced the number and size of follicular cysts in rats with estradiol valerate-induced polycystic ovaries.

This study suggests that 150 kHz electromagnetic radiation exposure may reduce follicular cysts and increase developing follicles in a rat model of polycystic ovaries without affecting hormonal levels or overall ovary morphology.

This case report emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis of Swyer Syndrome in adolescents with slow pubertal progression and primary amenorrhea due to the high risk of germ cell cancers.

Old drugs are often used for new, different medical purposes in endocrine pharmacology.

This review discusses the relationship between polycystic ovary syndrome and cardiovascular risk, noting a possible adverse impact on risk profiles and subclinical atherosclerosis but no clear increase in premenopausal cardiovascular events; it presents no new clinical results.

This article discusses the influence of estrogens on hair follicle growth and metabolism, suggesting a significant role alongside androgens in hair growth control but reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the multifactorial etiology of hypospadias, including genetic predispositions and possible environmental factors, and highlights the need for further studies on genetic and environmental contributions to its increasing prevalence, without presenting new findings.

This study provides further evidence for a genetic basis of PCOS, showing that polycystic ovarian morphology is a marker of inherited biochemical features in families with PCOS.

This review discusses the physiological roles of ovarian androgens in follicle development and atresia, emphasizing their contributions to polycystic ovary syndrome and normal follicle maturation but provides no new clinical results.

This meta-analysis reported a significant association between polycystic ovary syndrome and an increased risk of obstructive sleep apnea in adult patients.

This study found that sex steroid hormone receptors are largely maintained during the transformation of skin appendages to neoplasms, except for androgen and estrogen receptors in sweat and sebaceous gland tumors.

This study found that transdermal DHT treatment increased penile length in boys with 5α-reductase type 2 deficiency, but post-pubertal growth was limited and carried potential prostate complications.

Children's hair loss can be caused by many factors, including autoimmune diseases, emotional stress, genetics, and infections, with treatment and prognosis varying.

Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) mainly affects nearby cells, doesn't significantly change prostate hormonal environment or cancer risk, and doesn't play a main role in causing hair loss or acne. More research is needed on its effects on heart health, sexual function, and bone health.

This study found that acne prevalence in late pubertal boys was 85%, compared to 15% in girls, with higher DHT levels noted in acne-affected adolescents compared to those without.
