A fungal infection can look like a different scalp condition in teens, leading to wrong treatment until proper tests are done.

This study found that hair with lower levels of keratin associated proteins reduced the foreign body response in mouse subcutaneous implant tests compared to hair with higher keratin levels.

This case report describes a challenging diagnosis of Cushing’s syndrome using endocrine tests and imaging, which ultimately identified an adrenal etiology. Successful treatment involved a non-invasive desmopressin stimulation test and right adrenalectomy, leading to improvement in symptoms and health outcomes for the patient.

This letter discusses how outdated measurement technology may obscure evidence of essential fatty acid deficiency in low-fat diet patients, potentially leading to undiagnosed EFA insufficiencies related to heart disease.

In this case report, a rare form of chronic cutaneous lupus, lupus erythematosus profundus, was treated effectively with topical and systemic therapies, leading to improvement and healing of ulcerations, though resulting in atrophic scars and macules.

This study developed a caffeine-loaded solid lipid nanoparticle gel, observing significant reduction in subcutaneous fat tissue thickness in histological tests compared to an untreated group, suggesting it could effectively treat cellulite as a promising nanocosmeceutical gel.

This study using Mendelian randomization suggests lifelong increased free testosterone in males may have beneficial effects such as increased bone mineral density and decreased body fat, but also increased risks of prostate cancer and hypertension.

In this study of healthy men, low levels of testosterone and dihydrotestosterone were associated with higher body mass index, fat content, and insulin resistance, but their effects on lipid and glucose metabolism were similar in quality.

In this study, transgenic male mice over-expressing the androgen receptor in mesenchymal stem cells showed reduced fat mass and improved glucose clearance, suggesting enhanced androgen sensitivity may alter body composition.

This case report describes a 27-year-old man hospitalized with fatigue, myalgias, weakness, profound weight loss, and abnormal liver function, leading to a diagnosis after chest imaging revealed pneumomediastinum.

In this case study, a woman with congenital adrenal hyperplasia experienced substantial improvement in musculoskeletal and neurobehavioral symptoms after low-dose testosterone therapy, highlighting its potential role in managing chronic glucocorticoid overtreatment effects.

In this animal study, the ketogenic diet was associated with more severe biotin deficiency in biotin-deficient mice, suggesting that biotin supplementation is important when following this diet.

This study found that their novel 3D-imaging method, ASAXA-μCT, identified shrinkage of sweat glands as a key factor in skin aging, which leads to dermal defects, decreased elasticity, and increased wrinkling and sagging.

This review examines rodent models to explore how maternal conditions like undernutrition, obesity, hypoxia, and androgen exposure affect fetal programming and metabolic outcomes in offspring, but presents no new clinical findings.

This case study reported a 34-year-old woman presenting with secondary amenorrhea, hirsutism, and obesity showed elevated testosterone and anti-Müllerian hormone levels, leading to the exclusion of nonclassical congenital adrenal hyperplasia as a diagnosis.

This article discusses the role of androgens in metabolic and reproductive health and reports no new experimental results; the focus is on androgen receptor activation by testosterone and 5α-dihydrotestosterone.

This study found that mice lacking syndecan-1 experienced cold stress and metabolic issues due to reduced intradermal fat, which was restored by thermoneutral housing or rosiglitazone treatment.

This article provides an overview of diagnosing Cushing's syndrome, emphasizing the importance of assessing clinical signs and the appropriate use of first-line biochemical screening.

This article highlights the need for dermatologists to understand male-specific anatomical and physiological differences to optimize aesthetic treatment outcomes for men, but it reports no new clinical results.

This article reviews the metabolic and endocrine complexities of PCOS, emphasizing the importance of lifestyle changes and medical management in addressing its various symptoms and complications, but reports no new clinical results.

This article reviews the symptoms, diagnosis, and management of polycystic ovary syndrome, emphasizing lifestyle changes and medical interventions, but presents no new findings.

This study found that mice lacking myelin protein zero-like 3 (Mpzl3) had reduced body weight and adiposity despite increased food intake, which was linked to higher energy expenditure and improved glycemic control.

This review discusses the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of congenital adrenal hyperplasia, but reports no new research results.

This review discusses the importance of androgen production and metabolism in hyperandrogenism, the use of specific serum markers for diagnosis, and the need for improved assays for clinical testing, but reports no new results.

This review discusses the relationship between obesity and PCOS, highlighting the potential of weight loss and improved insulin sensitivity to alleviate associated symptoms, and suggests the exploration of new therapies targeting weight management.

This review discusses the relationship between obesity, insulin resistance, and polycystic ovary syndrome and highlights the potential benefits of weight loss for managing PCOS symptoms, but reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses common skin appendage diseases, including their pathophysiology and treatments, but does not report new results.

This review examines the benefits and potential risks of androgen replacement therapy for male hypogonadism but reports no new clinical results; the authors highlight the need for careful risk assessment, especially in older men.

In this study, periodic exposure to red light in aged mice led to increased histone acetylation and activated mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation, which collectively mitigated cellular aging by modulating metabolism, inflammation, and gene expression.

This review examines the role of androgens and androgen receptors in regulating glucose and lipid metabolism, focusing on their effects on mitochondrial content and function; it also discusses the sex-dimorphic influence of androgens and provides theoretical insights into their mechanisms.
