This study in female beagle dogs found that long-term exposure to oral contraceptive steroids resulted in significant reproductive and mammary gland changes, with the relevance to human tumor risk remaining uncertain.

This study observed that intravenous ferric carboxymaltose did not inhibit the drug-induced reduction of inflammatory activity in patients with inflammatory bowel disease, as indicated by lower CRP levels.

This review found that women with idiopathic hirsutism may have increased 5α-reductase activity, as indicated by elevated levels of a dihydrotestosterone-reduced metabolite, but more research is needed to confirm its clinical relevance as a biomarker.

This study found that topical estradiol inhibits hair growth in mice by preventing the hair follicle's transition from resting to growth phase, a process reversible with an estrogen receptor antagonist.

This review summarizes evidence suggesting that the ratio of Myo-Inositol to D-Chiro-Inositol in follicular fluid is crucial for oocyte and embryo quality.

This study concluded that cyproterone acetate alone produced antiandrogenic effects on the female gerbil prostate, while ethinyloestradiol alone stimulated estrogenic activity, and their combination led to prostatic lesions.

This review discusses the antimicrobial and protective effects of hesperidin and hesperetin against various toxicities, with potential mechanisms explored, but it reports no new research findings.

This study found that finasteride's solubility and bioavailability were improved when using a dimethyl-β-cyclodextrin inclusion complex compared to the drug alone.

This study found that Anovlar effectively reduced pain in severe dysmenorrhea cases and regulated cycles in oligomenorrhea patients, but some side effects and occasional treatment failures were reported.

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.

In this study, Myoinositol, an insulin sensitizer, was reported to improve menstrual irregularities and skin problems in cases of polycystic ovary syndrome.

This study concluded that dietary changes alter serum progesterone and estradiol levels in late gestation ewes, likely due to metabolism rather than changes in placental steroid synthesis.

In this study, adding α-lactalbumin to myo-inositol treatment improved ovulation rates, menstrual cycle duration, and hyperandrogenism in women with PCOS more effectively than myo-inositol alone, suggesting potential benefits for those resistant to inositol treatment.

The researchers reported that epitestosterone treatment reduced eicosanoid levels generated by cyclooxygenases and lipoxygenases in rabbit liver samples with carrageenan-induced inflammation.

In this study, cedrol was found to reduce lipid accumulation in the liver and adipose tissues of dexamethasone-treated mice by antagonizing glucocorticoid receptors, suggesting its potential utility in treating dexamethasone-induced lipid metabolism disorders.

This study found that expert consensus endorsed myo-inositol, alone or combined with folic acid and vitamin D₃, as an effective, well-tolerated option for managing acne and hirsutism in PCOS.

This study found that phytosterols extracted from moringa seed oil may act as potential anti-alopecia agents by inhibiting the 5α-reductase enzyme, with ergostadienol showing particularly high affinity and stability in in silico simulations.

This study found that an 8-month treatment with a low-dose oral contraceptive significantly reduced testosterone levels and hair growth in women with polycystic ovary syndrome and hirsutism, with minimal side effects.

This review discusses the potential of using sustained release systems to increase the effectiveness and reduce side effects of 17-alpha-estradiol in alopecia treatment and reports no clinical results.

This review discusses the role of steroid 5 alpha reductase 2 in converting testosterone to DHT and its association with conditions like benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostate cancer; it reports no new results.

This study found that high-dose intravenous ferric carboxymaltose may reduce inflammatory activity in patients with inflammatory bowel disease and iron deficiency anaemia, as evidenced by decreased CRP levels and improved clinical disease indices.

This study found that inositol was significantly more effective than Metformin in promoting weight reduction, spontaneous ovulation, and pregnancy in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome.

This study investigated the metabolic pathways of epristeride, a new Type II 5α‐reductase inhibitor, using in vitro models and found that its metabolites show significant interactions with key proteins, suggesting implications for its role in doping control.

In an animal study, researchers observed that a newly synthesized deoxycholic acid derivative showed similar prostate protection effects to finasteride in Wistar rats while being less toxic.

Finasteride blocks deoxycorticosterone's anticonvulsant effects in infant rats, but indomethacin doesn't.

This study found that distinct isoenzymes of 3 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase are expressed in human adrenals and gonads compared to the placenta and skin.

This study found that serum 3α-androstanediol glucuronide levels were higher in Indian women with female pattern hair loss and correlated with the severity of the condition.

In this study, high-dose dutasteride significantly reduced several core symptoms of PMDD compared to placebo, supporting the role of neurosteroids in this condition.
