In this study, researchers developed a method to measure steroid hormones in hair and found that body hair typically contains higher levels of cortisone and testosterone compared to scalp hair, but hair pigmentation did not affect hormone concentrations significantly.

This review discusses the use of hair analysis for examining stress and reproduction hormone levels in wildlife and highlights the need for more comprehensive physiological validations across species.

This study found that age-related fluctuations in hormones and endocannabinoids in male C57BL/6 mice showed specific patterns, with peak values observed around 2.7 to 3.4 months, with these patterns seen in both plasma and hair but with different magnitudes.

This review discusses hormones that affect acne and highlights a statistically significant link between a low-glycemic-load diet and reduced acne activity, but reports no new experimental findings.

This review discusses non-oral hormonal contraceptives and other exogenous steroid hormones, reporting they are generally safe for temporary use in women without breast cancer, but data are limited.

This article reviews how various hormones may affect female sexual function and provides recommendations for diagnosing and treating endocrinologic sexual difficulties, but it reports no new clinical results.

This review examines the negative effects of anabolic-androgenic steroid use on the male reproductive system, including impaired testosterone production, sperm production issues, and adverse metabolic consequences without reporting new clinical results.

In this case report, researchers observed that a female patient with severe hidradenitis suppurativa experienced complete resolution of her lesions after starting intramuscular exogenous testosterone as part of gender transition, suggesting its potential role in disease remission when other treatments were ineffective.

This study describes a new method using high-resolution mass spectrometry for analyzing multiple steroids in human scalp hair, with newborn hair showing the highest steroid concentrations among examined age groups.

This article discusses the potential effects of exogenous testosterone, highlighting that its impact on prostate cancer progression, cardiovascular health, and behavior remains uncertain and needs further investigation.

This study demonstrated that cortisol, estradiol, and testosterone are preserved in archaeological human hair, allowing for the analysis of ancient stress and reproductive hormone patterns.

This study describes molecular mechanisms explaining how sex and stress steroids rapidly modulate dendritic spine formation in hippocampal neurons, suggesting recovery-like effects under steroid-depleted conditions compared to intact conditions.

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) often leads to severe acne, and lifestyle changes and hormonal treatments can help manage it.

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 manipulating AKR1D1 expression in human liver cells effectively regulates glucocorticoid clearance and receptor activation, highlighting its role in liver-specific steroid hormone regulation.

This review explores the role of neurosteroids in affective disorders, highlighting existing research on their impact on mood and discussing emerging evidence that endogenous neurosteroids may influence baseline emotional states.

This study developed a new method using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry to measure multiple steroid hormones in hair, requiring significantly fewer strands than previous methods, with high accuracy and precision.

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 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 62% of neutered dogs with hair cycle arrest experienced partial to complete hair re-growth after melatonin treatment, but hair re-growth was not consistently linked to normal sex hormone levels.

This article discusses the various roles of steroids in vertebrate organ systems and notes several glucocorticoids that were among the Top 200 Drugs by sales in the 2010s, but it reports no new clinical findings.

The researchers reported that during early embryogenesis and larval development in Silurana tropicalis, inhibiting steroidogenic enzymes cyp19 and srd5beta affects genes related to thyroid and reproductive systems.

This study observed that in hormone-starved prostate cancer cells, the androgen 5alpha-dihydrotestosterone rapidly induces matriptase activation and shedding, which involves androgen receptor signaling and requires both transcription and protein synthesis.

This study developed a method to measure local steroid hormone concentrations in hair, providing new insights into hormone dynamics associated with androgenetic alopecia.

This systematic review suggests that current evidence does not support routinely discontinuing gender-affirming hormone treatments before surgery, especially testosterone and spironolactone, due to limited data on related perioperative risks.

This study found that among women with polycystic ovary syndrome, higher levels of the hormones estrone and free testosterone were associated with an increased cardiometabolic risk, especially in those who were overweight or obese.

This review explores how fluctuations in female sex steroid hormone levels affect periodontal health in women, noting that collaboration between dentists and gynecologists may improve diagnosis and treatment of hormone-related periodontal conditions.

This study developed a sensitive method using LC-ESI-MS/MS for accurate and reliable measurement of nine steroid hormones in children's serum.

In this study, researchers found that taking Saw palmetto and Pygeum africana supplements for five days altered the urinary steroid profile in a way that may interfere with the steroidal module of the Athlete Biological Passport.

This study observed that adding simvastatin to ongoing metformin treatment reduced certain androgen levels in women with non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia and abnormal glucose metabolism, suggesting a potential therapeutic benefit.
