This study found that a commonly-used DHT enzyme immunoassay shows significant cross-reactivity with testosterone, leading to inaccurate DHT measurements compared to a gold-standard LC–MS/MS method.

In this study, Chinese children with central precocious puberty receiving 6-monthly injections of triptorelin showed luteinizing hormone suppression and slowed development of sexual characteristics over 12 months, without severe adverse events, suggesting it may be an effective treatment option for this population.

This study found that combining oral testosterone with dutasteride increased testosterone bioavailability in hypogonadal men while suppressing dihydrotestosterone levels over a 28-day period.

This report presents a case of refractory thyrotoxicosis where the patient required a total thyroidectomy after resistance to conventional treatments including antithyroid drugs and radioactive iodine.

This report emphasizes the importance of considering thyroid tuberculosis in the differential diagnosis of cervical masses, highlighting the role of biopsy and histopathological examination for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

This study describes a new radiation method called three-dimensional moving field radiation therapy, which showed improved tumor targeting and reduced damage to surrounding tissues compared to traditional one-plane methods.

This study observed that direct exposure to androgens in Western clawed frogs differentially affects thyroid receptor and deiodinase gene expression in male and female tissues, offering insight into sex-specific metabolic pathway activation.

This study concluded that intralesional lyophilized growth factor injections are safe and improve trichoscopic hair parameters and clinical scores in patients with female pattern hair loss.

This study found that women with hair loss had significantly higher free testosterone levels compared to those without hair loss.

In this study, significant elevations of DHA and testosterone were associated with pubic hair development and voice changes in boys during puberty.

This study found that women with chronic diffuse hair loss had low serum ferritin levels, indicating a significant association with decreased iron stores.

This study concluded that serum Adiol-G levels generally parallel testosterone levels and, therefore, do not effectively serve as a marker of peripheral androgen excess in women with androgenic symptoms.

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.

In this study, two female patients with low libido experienced increased testosterone levels and improved energy after using Testim transdermal gel for six weeks, though only one reported increased libido, indicating potential benefits of testosterone therapy in women despite its limited use.

This study suggests that low serum iron and ferritin levels may be associated with telogen effluvium in patients presenting with hair loss.

This article reports a case of hair loss and pigmentation changes in a man after using propylthiouracil alongside iodine solution for thyroid and diabetic conditions, providing clinical observations without broader conclusions.

This study found no significant correlation between serum testosterone or DHEAS levels and the severity of acne or FPHL in a localized female population, but noted most patients had low testosterone levels.

This study introduces a new type of tissue micromodule, the micro tissue precursor (μTP), which can form complex 3D tissues, including lung stroma and skin models supporting hair viability.

TG5 helps maintain hair follicle health, while TG3 aids in hair shaft development.

This study found that women with PCOS have higher total PSA levels than controls, and the total PSA level correlates positively with testosterone and free androgen index.

This study suggests that hepatocellular carcinoma in cirrhotic men is associated with altered sex-steroid metabolism, indicated by lower testosterone and 5 alpha-dihydrotestosterone levels compared to cirrhosis alone.

This study reported the first known case of tertiary hypothyroidism in a dog, diagnosed after a Labrador treated for hyperadrenocorticism presented with related symptoms and an MRI-revealed pituitary mass.

This study found that dihydrotestosterone (DHT) suppresses prostaglandin E2 and TGF-β induced IGF-I gene promoter activity in osteoblasts, suggesting complex interactions among bone growth regulators and potential complications from anabolic steroid use.

This study suggests that hormonal disturbances play a role in female pattern hair loss and that trichoscopy may be a useful tool for diagnosis and differentiation from other conditions.

The researchers reported that they successfully developed and validated RP-HPLC and TLC methods for accurately measuring tamsulosin hydrochloride and finasteride in combination forms.

This article discusses the considerations and challenges surrounding a proposed large-scale trial on testosterone-replacement therapy in older men and reports no new results.

In this report, a 35-year-old patient with beta thalassemia experienced thyroid dysfunction following repeated blood transfusions, highlighting that such disorders are common among transfused thalassemia patients.

This study found that finasteride decreased plasma dihydrotestosterone levels and altered steroid metabolism, similar to the profile of male pseudohermaphrodites with inherited 5a-reductase deficiency.

In this study, insulin-like growth factor-1 did not impact hair follicle elongation in rat pelage hair follicles, while transforming growth factor-beta 1 inhibited both elongation and thymidine uptake.

This study found that prepubertal girls have significantly higher levels of estrogens and androgen metabolites compared to age-matched boys, which may contribute to their earlier onset of puberty.
