This study found that both finasteride and flutamide effectively reduce hirsutism in women with polycystic ovary syndrome or idiopathic hirsutism, but flutamide was more effective.

This article discusses techniques for creating natural-looking hairlines in hair restoration surgery and reports no new clinical results.

This study found that Hoxc13 gene expression, influenced by melatonin, was associated with hair follicle activity in Cashmere goats, with in vitro evidence suggesting effects on genes relevant to follicle development.

This study found that nano-sized minoxidil formulations significantly increased skin penetration and follicular drug delivery for alopecia areata treatment, compared to conventional ethanol-based solutions, and demonstrated effective controlled release over six hours.

In this study, researchers optimized fast-dissolving tablets of nifedipine using a systematic approach, resulting in formulations that demonstrated rapid disintegration, enhanced dissolution profiles, and improved solubility, potentially improving oral delivery for patients requiring poorly soluble antihypertensive medication.

This article discusses the preparation of tritium-labeled testosterone metabolites and reports no new experimental findings.

This study explored the secretion and cellular localization of different forms of follistatin and FST-like-3, revealing variable secretion kinetics and possible intracellular roles, particularly for nuclear FSTL3.

In this study, physiological levels of free T3 significantly enhanced the survival of human hair follicles in vitro.

This study found that plasma 3 alpha-diol glucuronide was markedly elevated in women with idiopathic hirsutism, suggesting it may be a marker of peripheral androgen action.

This study suggests that topical T3 can induce hair follicles to enter the growth phase and may reverse graying in mice, with in vitro results supporting enhanced hair shaft growth.

This study found that topical application of triiodothyronine (T3) can induce the transition of hair follicles from the telogen to the anagen phase in mice and stimulate hair shaft growth in vitro.

This study developed a high-throughput method that identifies bioactive chemicals influencing DHT production in prostate cancer cells, with potential nutraceutical candidates including fucoxanthin, phenethyl caffeate, and Curcuma longa L. extract.

This review discusses the free hormone hypothesis for measuring "free" testosterone and critiques its theoretical basis and clinical application, noting it lacks critical empirical testing and has inconsistent utility in assessing androgen status.

This retrospective analysis reported significant increases in testosterone levels in men with testosterone deficiency using the Daily Subcutaneous Testosterone method combined with hCG and anastrozole, indicating its potential as a treatment option.

This study explored the effects of TTFE on male androgenic alopecia, finding that topical application increased hair density, follicular diameter, and scalp hydration while reducing water loss and sebum production in a 12-week trial.

This study found that women with female pattern hair loss exhibited hormonal imbalances, with the Free Androgen Index being a particularly effective diagnostic marker.

In this study, researchers developed a new prostate cancer imaging agent, a [99m Tc]tricarbonyl complex derived from finasteride, which demonstrated high radiochemical purity and significant uptake in the prostate of a rat model, suggesting its potential for noninvasive prostate cancer imaging.

This study found that transgenic mice overexpressing human ATF3 showed hyperplastic and dysplastic changes in epithelial tissues, with a high incidence of oral cancer, suggesting potential oncogenic properties of ATF3.

In this study, patients with testicular feminization syndrome showed limited anabolic responsiveness to dihydrotestosterone, potentially due to reduced affinity of nuclear receptor sites for androgenic steroids rather than defective testosterone conversion.

This study determined that a total testosterone concentration of ≥5.1 nmol/L identified androgen-producing tumors in women with severe hyperandrogenemia, while a lower threshold of ≥2.2 nmol/L was found for diagnosing pathologic hyperandrogenism in postmenopausal women.

This study found that STAT3 directly inhibits the sheep FST gene and cell proliferation, shedding light on the molecular mechanisms of hair follicle development and wool characteristics.

This case report highlights that macro-TSH, a rare condition causing falsely elevated TSH despite normal thyroid hormone levels, can lead to misdiagnosis and unnecessary treatment; identifying TSH antibodies and fractionation chromatography can prevent incorrect management, as demonstrated in a 19-year-old patient.

TR3 is mainly found in hair follicle stem cells and may be involved in hair loss.

This study discovered that TTR is expressed in the human placenta as early as 6 weeks gestation, with increased levels in the first trimester potentially facilitating thyroid hormone delivery to the fetus.

This study found that applying supraphysiologic doses of topical T3 significantly accelerated wound healing in mice compared to a control vehicle, suggesting its potential as a cost-effective wound treatment.

This study found that triglycerides, testosterone, and SHBG levels were associated with hyperandrogenism in women with PCOS, while FGS was not linked to this condition.

This study emphasizes the necessity of confirming elevated testosterone levels detected by immunoassay with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectroscopy before pursuing more complex diagnostic evaluations.

In this study, a topical formulation with compounds from the monoterpenoid family significantly improved hair growth indicators like anagen:telogen ratio, hair fall, and visual hair density in men and women with pattern hair loss.

This study found that tildacerfont treatment in males with congenital adrenal hyperplasia reduced androgen levels and improved markers of testicular function, suggesting potential benefits for male reproductive health.

This study reported the development of a novel and reliable liquid chromatographic method to measure testosterone and epitestosterone in human urine, offering sensitive detection for doping control.
