This study found that cocaine disrupted the relationship between certain brain androgen levels and sexual behavior in male rats, with dose-dependent effects on testosterone metabolism.

This article reviews the role of testosterone in sexual health, supporting Testosterone Replacement Therapy as an effective treatment for Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder in postmenopausal women, though more research is needed on its long-term effects and applicability to premenopausal women.

This study identified distinct differences in metabolic pathways related to pattern baldness, with findings highlighting the androgen metabolic pathway in males and the estrogen plus arachidonic acid pathways in females using hair samples.

Menopause often leads to lower sexual desire and discomfort during sex, but treatment should be personalized and only if it bothers the woman.

This review discusses the impact of hormones on female sexual function and dysfunction, highlighting the complexity and gaps in basic research, and reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that testosterone replacement in castrated male rats counteracted endotoxemia-induced arterial baroreflex dysfunction without significantly affecting neuroinflammation.

The document concludes that sex hormones are crucial for mammalian reproduction, health, and behavior, and require more research for therapeutic use.

This study concluded that 16β-methyl-17α-benzoyloxypregnen-4-en-3,20-dione may be a promising treatment for androgen-dependent diseases and epilepsy due to its antioxidant effects and impact on GABAergic and serotonergic metabolism in rats.

This review discusses the effects of neuroactive testosterone metabolites on CNS functions and suggests their potential as therapeutic options for neurological disorders, but reports no new clinical results.

This case report describes two women experiencing hormonally associated vestibulodynia and female arousal disorder, potentially linked to the use of spironolactone for androgen-mediated cutaneous disorders.

This review examines the effects of antiandrogens on female reproductive systems, particularly regarding environmental endocrine disruptors, and presents no new research findings.

This study suggests that greater sensitivity to androgens, as indicated by higher than grade 2 androgenic alopecia, may reduce the risk of schizophrenia by 8.62 times.

This review discusses the clinical implications of female androgen deficiency and evaluates treatment options, emphasizing the need for cautious use of replacement therapy in women with severe deficiency and matching symptoms.

This narrative review highlights that declining testosterone levels are a complex public health issue potentially influenced by modifiable lifestyle factors and environmental stressors, suggesting integrated strategies may be needed to address the trend's impacts on health.

Low-frequency electromagnetic fields may help treat hair loss by promoting hair regrowth.

In this prospective observational study at a tertiary care center in Uttar Pradesh, researchers observed that comprehensive, individualized treatments significantly improved clinical outcomes for South Asian women with PCOS, including reductions in BMI and improvements in insulin sensitivity, ovulation, and pregnancy rates.

This study found that while rat models treated with letrozole and dihydrotestosterone exhibit altered sterol, leukotriene, and steroid hormone profiles similar to human PCOS, significant differences remain.

This study found that external application of DGD activates the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, promoting hair follicle anagen phase entry, and is a more effective and safer treatment for androgenetic alopecia in mice compared to oral administration.

This study found that administering a supraphysiological dose of testosterone to female rats significantly reduced estrogen and progesterone levels, disrupted sex steroid receptor expression, and interfered with the embryonic implantation window, indicating potential implications for androgen-related endometrial conditions.

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

This study used molecular docking to identify stiripentol as a potential new inhibitor of the SRD5A2 enzyme, which is targeted for treating androgen-related diseases; however, in vivo trials are needed to validate its efficacy.

This case study reported that using the ayurvedic treatment protocol of Nitya Virechana, Kulatthadi Kashaya, and Shatapushpa Churna was associated with improved menstrual regularity, reduced obesity, and decreased symptoms of hirsutism and acne in a 19-year-old woman with PCOD.
