This abstract discusses the unclear role of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in postembryonic life in marsupials and possibly humans, reporting no new findings.

This abstract reviews testosterone supplementation with and without a dual 5α-reductase inhibitor on fat-free mass in men with suppressed testosterone production and reports no new research findings.

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 concluded that an 8-week low-starch/low-dairy diet increased fat oxidation in overweight and obese women with PCOS.

This study indicated that while testosterone replacement in older men with low testosterone increases muscle mass and strength and reduces fat, its effects on physical function, disability, falls, or fractures remain unclear.

In this study, female-to-male transsexuals treated with long-acting testosterone undecanoate experienced an increase in lean mass but no change in fat mass or bone mineral density over 24 months.

This review discusses the negative health impacts of testosterone deficiency and the potential adverse effects of 5α-reductase inhibitors, emphasizing the need for patient-physician discussions regarding these treatments.

This study found that obesity in PCOS women with biochemical hyperandrogenemia lowers androstenedione levels and increases the testosterone to androstenedione ratio, but this was not observed in women with clinical hyperandrogenemia or in controls.

This study found that prostate cancer aggressiveness in men with obesity is associated with changes in age, BMI, testosterone, and estradiol levels, and that adipocyte-secreted molecules increase cancer cell aggressiveness in vitro.

This study found that elevated free testosterone levels may reduce body fat and increase bone density in males, but also raise the risk of prostate cancer, hair loss, and benign prostate hyperplasia.

In this pilot randomized clinical trial, TRT combined with finasteride increased lean mass, muscle size, and bone mineral density without prostate enlargement in men with spinal cord injury, suggesting potential benefits for body composition and musculoskeletal health.

This study using Mendelian randomization in UK Biobank data suggests that lifelong increased free testosterone may have mixed effects, including increased bone density and prostate cancer risk, warranting well-powered trials to address uncertainties.

In this study, children with classical congenital adrenal hyperplasia were found to have increased epicardial fat thickness, which was associated with subclinical atherosclerosis markers and left ventricular dysfunction, especially in poorly controlled cases.

This review highlights the connection between sex hormones and metabolic dysfunction, emphasizing how conditions like male hypogonadism and female hyperandrogenism can increase the risk and severity of hepatic steatosis, which often progresses alongside metabolic syndrome and elevates mortality risks.

This study found that children with classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia had elevated epicardial fat thickness, which was associated with increased carotid intima media thickness, left ventricular mass, and mitral deceleration time.

In this study, Ark-e-Kasni was found to alleviate PCOS symptoms in rats by restoring hormonal levels, improving insulin sensitivity, and reducing inflammation and cystic follicles, suggesting its therapeutic potential via diverse molecular mechanisms.

This study reported that MALDI-TOF Mass Spectrometry profiling demonstrated nearly 100% sensitivity and specificity in detecting adenomyosis and leiomyoma, revealing potential peptide markers for these conditions.

This article reviews dietary recommendations for managing polycystic ovary syndrome and provides evidence that diet changes can improve the androgen profile in affected women, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study found that metformin's metabolic benefits, such as reducing fat content and improving insulin sensitivity, were less pronounced in men with early-onset androgenic alopecia compared to those with normal hair growth, possibly due to differences in systemic inflammation and vitamin D status.

This study found that women with polycystic ovary syndrome have higher global adiposity and increased visceral fat, particularly in the ip and mesenteric depots, compared to women without androgen excess.

This review highlights essential preoperative assessments for ophthalmologists and non-oculo-facial surgeons performing upper facial rejuvenation, emphasizing the importance of understanding ocular and periocular anatomy to achieve both cosmetic and functional improvements.

This article explores evidence for a rational strategy in the endocrine and metabolic management of patients with excess body hair or scalp loss and reports no new clinical results.

This study found that women with PCOS had higher body fat and worse insulin resistance than non-PCOS women, with body composition influencing metabolic profiles independently of PCOS status.

This study found that an 8-week low insulinemic diet significantly improved anthropometric, biochemical, and metabolic measures, binge eating behaviors, and quality of life in women with PCOS.

This study found that women with PCOS exhibited higher levels of depression, tension induction, and impaired stress coping strategies compared to healthy controls, with these psychological issues correlating with hyperandrogenism but not with central obesity or insulin resistance.

This narrative review suggests that, after at least two years of gender-affirming hormone therapy, nonathletic transgender individuals tend to have physical performance levels similar to cisgender individuals, though more controlled research is necessary, particularly among trans athletes.

The document recommends a multidisciplinary approach and experience sharing to advance facial feminization surgery as a medical field.

In this study, selective overexpression of androgen receptors in muscle cells increased lean muscle mass and reduced fat mass in transgenic rodents, suggesting a potential target for drug development.

This review examines misconceptions and gaps in the understanding of androgenic alopecia (AGA) etiopathogenesis, offering new perspectives but no new experimental results.

This review highlights men's cosmetic interests, focusing on maintaining a masculine appearance while managing scalp hair, facial lines, and other aging signs, but presents no new findings.
