This review of 355 articles found that apigenin, a compound found in many plants and vegetables, is mainly researched for its anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, and anti-cancer properties, with enhanced efficacy when combined with allopathic drugs.

This study suggests that the testosterone analogs 7α-Methyltestosterone and 7α-Ethyltestosterone may offer promising androgenic, progestogenic, and anabolic properties for development as male contraceptives.

This review examines the health-promoting effects of medicinal plants used in nutricosmetics, highlighting their beneficial impact on skin physiology, but offers no new clinical results.

This study found that both oral minoxidil and topical 5% minoxidil were effective and safe for treating female pattern hair loss over 24 weeks, with oral administration not being inferior to topical treatment.

This review discusses the role of neurosteroids and androgens throughout different life stages, noting the potential disruptions caused by 5α-reductase inhibitors like finasteride, but no new clinical results are reported.

This research outlines how retinoids, compounds based on vitamin A, activate nuclear receptors to influence cellular processes such as differentiation and carcinogenesis, with benefits like anti-inflammatory properties but requiring careful management of dose-dependent side effects.

This study found that women with postadolescent acne often exhibit symptoms of hyperandrogenism, such as hirsutism and androgenetic alopecia, but have minimal hormone profile abnormalities.

This review discusses advances in 5α-reductase inhibitors for treating male androgenetic alopecia and reports no new clinical results.

Hair loss in women is genetic, diagnosed by examination and biopsy, and treated with minoxidil, finasteride, or transplantation.

Epirubicin is as effective as doxorubicin for cancer treatment with less heart damage, but doesn't work on doxorubicin-resistant cancers.

This study determined that an mFG score of 5 or greater defines hirsutism among Southern Chinese women, with prevalence and score thresholds decreasing with age.

This review discusses the current understanding of androgen biosynthesis, mechanisms of action, and their roles in human biology, as well as related congenital and acquired disorders, but it reports no new research findings.

This review discusses the physicochemical properties, binding mechanisms, and factors affecting corticosteroid-binding globulin (CBG) functions, but reports no new clinical results.

Human hair follicles have a unique metabolism that changes between growth stages and may contribute to baldness.

This study found that dutasteride completely suppressed the formation of 5alpha-dihydro metabolites in cultured human skin cells, suggesting its potential use in acne and androgenetic alopecia.

Hormones and genetics play key roles in male and female baldness, which can affect mental health and may be linked to other health issues.

This study found that the yeast androgen screen (YAS) could detect the activity of methyltestosterone in urine for a longer period than classical GC/MS, potentially identifying long-lasting metabolites.

This review discusses the extragenital effects of ovarian steroids, particularly focusing on aesthetic endocrinology, which suggests estrogens may slow skin aging post-menopause, though hair loss treatment efficacy is mainly confirmed for minoxidil.

This review highlights the potential therapeutic applications of nandrolone, an anabolic steroid, for male health, but notes that more human studies are needed due to limited existing literature.

This study provides a detailed profile of bioactive polyphenols in various parts of the baobab fruit, highlighting its potential as a health-promoting food or supplement.

This chapter reviews recent advances in 5α-reductase inhibitors for treating disorders mediated by dihydrotestosterone and reports no new clinical findings.

In this study, 85.9% of 120 hirsute Saudi women exhibited elevated androgen levels, suggesting the need for a comprehensive hormonal evaluation to identify underlying causes of hirsutism.

In this study, low-dose oral minoxidil was found to have a favorable safety profile for treating alopecia, with mostly mild side effects, in both general and hypertensive populations.

This study developed a new analytical method to identify a wide range of endocrine disrupting compounds in full-term amniotic fluid, revealing diverse substances with potential endocrine activity.

This study showed that regulation of adipose androgen generation via AKR1C3 may contribute to a cycle of hyperinsulinaemia and lipid accumulation in women with PCOS.

Healthy aging can be promoted through physical activity, lifestyle changes, and certain treatments.

This study observed that unpigmented keratinocytes saturate quickly with foreign substance uptake compared to pigmented melanocytes, where melanin significantly enhances binding.

This study found that while rat models treated with letrozole and dihydrotestosterone exhibit altered sterol, leukotriene, and steroid hormone profiles similar to human PCOS, significant differences remain.

This study demonstrated that derivatives of dehydroepiandrosterone (2a-b, 3a-f, and 4a-f) significantly reduced viable LNCaP prostate cancer cells, suggesting potential therapeutic use for metastatic prostate cancer, while finasteride did not alter cell viability.

In this study, hormonal abnormalities were detected in all investigated hirsute Saudi women, with elevated major androgens in 85.9% and polycystic ovaries in 59% of cases.
