Sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone may affect COVID-19 severity differently in men and women, potentially influencing prevention and treatment strategies.

Some hormone-related drugs may protect brain cells in Parkinson's disease differently in men and women.

Nuclear hormone receptors play a significant role in skin wound healing and could lead to better treatment methods.

Amenorrhea is relatively rare and initial testing should check FSH, TSH, and prolactin levels.

The document concludes that identifying the cause of amenorrhea is crucial for proper treatment.

Certain genetic variations in the AR and ERβ genes can affect androgen levels in women.

Mouse genital development depends on male or female hormones for specific features.

Activating ER-β, not ER-α, improves skin cell growth and wound healing.

The document suggests that blocking sweat glands with antiperspirants might allow skin-generated hormones to be absorbed, possibly increasing breast and prostate cancer risk.

Small changes in hormones can significantly impact health, showing the importance of sensitive testing for chemicals that disrupt hormones.

Small hormonal imbalances can cause significant health problems, so more sensitive testing for hormone-disrupting chemicals is needed.

Lowering testosterone speeds up wound healing in male mice.

Antiandrogens and androgen inhibitors like spironolactone, finasteride, and dutasteride can treat hair loss and skin conditions, but they have risks and side effects, including potential harm to pregnant women and risks of cancer and heart issues.
