This study found that recombinant human FGF9 expressed in Arabidopsis thaliana oil bodies significantly promoted the proliferation of NIH/3T3 cells.

In this study, women with hirsutism and amenorrhea showed lower serum estradiol and sex hormone binding globulin concentrations but higher levels of unbound testosterone compared to normal individuals.

In this case report, a male patient with hair loss showed unusually high testosterone levels without other symptoms or supplement use; follow-up testing revealed normal levels, showcasing the importance of considering testosterone-protein binding differences and using equilibrium dialysis for accurate assessment.

This review discusses key aspects and challenges of thyroid ultrasound interpretation but reports no new clinical findings, noting the necessity of experience and theoretical knowledge in this field.

In this study, increased expression of TGF-β1 and TNF-α was observed in mice after lung irradiation, suggesting these cytokines play a role in radiation-induced pulmonary injury.

This study suggests that the serum marker may play a role in the pathogenesis of tinea capitis and could serve as an independent risk factor for assessing vulnerability, activity, and severity of the condition.

This study found that formalin-induced pain in rats nearly eliminates testosterone in the brain and spinal cord by likely increasing 5α-reductase activity, but normalizes serum levels after 24 hours.

This study found that triiodothyronine and epidermal growth factor differentially affected craniofacial development in neonatal rats, with various impacts on hair growth direction, incisor eruption, and ear and eyelid development.

This study found that SCUBE3 protein is upregulated in various cancers, promoting tumor growth and poor outcomes, while suppressing growth in renal cell carcinoma, and may serve as a diagnostic marker and potential therapeutic target for several diseases due to its secreted nature.

This study found that intrathyroidal injection of autologous platelet-rich plasma improved thyroid function and symptoms in hypothyroidism patients, without adverse events over one year.

This study found that intravaginal testosterone significantly improved sexual satisfaction and reduced dyspareunia in postmenopausal women using aromatase inhibitors, with no effect on urinary incontinence.

This study found that total testosterone and free testosterone are recommended as first-line tests for diagnosing biochemical hyperandrogenism in women with PCOS; liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry is preferred for its accuracy.

This study found that testosterone therapy improved physical performance, strength, lean body mass, and serum cholesterol in older men with low testosterone levels, with or without the addition of finasteride.

This study found that experimentally induced hypothyroidism in rats is associated with impaired skin structure, but topical application of triiodothyronine (T3) improved these changes to resemble normal skin.

Women with effluvium have higher levels of certain urinary steroids, possibly due to stress and increased adrenal activity.

In this study, a 300 mcg daily testosterone patch significantly increased satisfying sexual episodes and sexual desire in postmenopausal women with hypoactive sexual desire disorder not receiving estrogen, compared to placebo.

This study presented a new method for accurately measuring Fe³⁺ in small serum samples, achieving high recovery rates and agreement with established testing methods, while offering advantages such as cost-effectiveness, simplicity, and enhanced sensitivity.

This study found that women with female pattern hair loss had significantly lower serum Vitamin D3 levels compared to healthy controls.

This study found that premature hair greying may be associated with low serum ferritin and raised anti-TPO levels.

This study found that pubic skin fibroblasts respond to androgens, increasing 5α-reductase activity via an androgen receptor-mediated mechanism, suggesting its potential as a marker of androgen action in vitro.

This study observed that new trienone compounds consistently showed higher 5alpha-reductase inhibitory activity compared to corresponding dienones across various biological models.

In this study, the researchers found that the absence of the NFI-C transcription factor delayed the hair growth cycle in mice by affecting key gene expressions and signaling pathways.

In this study, subclinical hypothyroidism in women with PCOS was linked to changes in the thyroid-prolactin axis and a lack of correlation between TSH and AMH, while gonadotropin levels and ovarian morphology remained unaffected, indicating the need for further prospective research.

This case study highlights a delayed diagnosis of Sheehan's syndrome in a woman with post-partum hemorrhage history, emphasizing the importance of considering non-specific symptoms and menstrual history for diagnosis.

In this study, 18F-FDG PET/CT revealed increased FDG uptake in the scalp of a woman after platelet-rich plasma therapy, indicating potential inflammatory changes.

This case report describes a patient with eruptive tumor of follicular infundibulum, emphasizing the need for dermatologists to include it in the differential diagnosis of acquired facial hypopigmentation.

In this study, heifers exposed to thyroid irradiation up to 30 Gy showed changes in thyroid hormone levels but tended toward recovery, without affecting immunity or productivity.

This study found that in women with acne vulgaris, lower serum levels of 3α-androstanediol-glucuronide suggest reduced 5α-reductase activity compared to controls, indicating that 5α-reductase inhibitors may not be effective for acne treatment.

This study found that low serum testosterone and elevated serum oestrone in men with cirrhosis are associated with worse liver disease and adverse health outcomes, suggesting oestrone as a potential ill health marker.

This study found that transgender men using testosterone therapy had higher rates of acne and increased body hair growth, resembling male patterns more closely than those not on testosterone.
