In this study, adolescents with depressive symptoms were found to have higher urinary excretion rates of certain steroid metabolites, including corticosterone and adrenal hormones, and a specific metabolite ratio was identified as a potential biomarker for distinguishing these patients from healthy controls.

This review discusses the presence of the StAR protein in 17 non-classical steroidogenic tissues, suggesting that advanced detection methods are needed for a complete understanding of its functions in these tissues.

Finasteride boosts morphine's pain relief, stops tolerance, and reduces withdrawal in rats.

This study suggests that the EULAR/ACR classification criteria for SLE may help predict organ damage, particularly in renal, cardiovascular, dermatological, and gonadal domains.

This study found that prenatal exposure to certain pesticides may lead to earlier breast development in girls, potentially associated with higher androgen levels.

This article reviews puberty's onset, development, and the factors affecting it, including nutrition, obesity, and gender dysphoria, and reports no new clinical results.

This study concluded that Buserelin can effectively inhibit gonadal activity in children with central precocious puberty over 18 months, potentially improving final height predictions with prolonged treatment.

This study identified several gonadal hormone drugs, including toremifene citrate, tamoxifen citrate, and clomiphene citrate, that effectively inhibited filovirus entry in a pseudovirus model.

Small hormonal imbalances can cause significant health problems, so more sensitive testing for hormone-disrupting chemicals is needed.

This study found that high prepubertal and pubertal androgen levels, originating from both adrenal and gonadal secretion, were negatively associated with adult height outcomes in males with Silver-Russell syndrome.

This case report discusses the diagnostic challenges and management options for three siblings with 46, XY DSD due to type 2 5-α reductase deficiency, highlighting the genetic basis and impact on their quality of life.

This case report describes a 24-month-old girl from Nigeria with idiopathic precocious puberty, emphasizing the financial barriers to necessary treatment in developing countries.

This study constructed a comprehensive atlas of prenatal human skin, revealing that innate immune cells, such as macrophages, play a crucial role in skin morphogenesis by interacting with non-immune cells, influencing hair follicle formation and angiogenesis beyond their traditional immune functions.

This review discusses the potential impact of endocrine-disrupting chemicals and body size on pubertal onset and progression, highlighting critical gaps and priorities for future research without presenting new clinical results.

This study found that removing PPARγ specifically from mouse adipose tissue led to severe fat loss, insulin resistance, diabetes, and associated metabolic abnormalities.

This review suggests that most mutations in the SRD5A2 gene show no clear genotype-phenotype correlation in 5-α-Reductase deficiency, although mutation location affects severity.

In this retrospective study, cyproterone acetate treatment in late-pubertal trans-girls was found to be generally safe and led to mild feminizing effects, with more rapid feminization occurring when combined with estrogens.

This study found that gonadal steroid hormones influence alopecia areata in C3H/HeJ mice, with estradiol promoting progression and dihydrotestosterone conferring resistance to disease onset.

This study found that higher prenatal and early childhood lead exposure may be associated with delayed pubertal development in girls, but not in boys, in Mexico City.

This study reported that prenatal exposure to dihydrotestosterone altered long-term androgen metabolism in juvenile male rats, suggesting different regulatory mechanisms for 5a-reductase in hypothalamic versus pituitary tissues.

This study found that age-related fluctuations in hormones and endocannabinoids in male C57BL/6 mice showed specific patterns, with peak values observed around 2.7 to 3.4 months, with these patterns seen in both plasma and hair but with different magnitudes.

This review discusses how COVID-19 may affect gonadal function and potential gender differences, but reports no clinical results; it highlights possible mechanisms and new treatment approaches from recent literature.

This article reviews Miriam Arbeit's skill-based model for promoting adolescent sexual development, highlighting its focus on adolescents as active participants in their own sexual growth but noting areas for further expansion.

This study found that boys in Mexico City with selenium intake below the recommended dietary allowance had lower odds of progressing to advanced stages of pubertal development, while no association was observed in girls.

This study found that in male mice, microglial changes due to a Parkinson's-like lesion were influenced by sex hormones, with dutasteride treatment preventing some effects.

This study found that prolonged use of finasteride in women led to altered levels of sex steroids, DNA damage, and increased menstrual bleeding, suggesting adverse health effects without clear benefits for androgenetic alopecia treatment.

In this study, male patients treated with 150 mCi of radioactive iodine showed no negative impact on fertility, but long-term studies with larger groups are needed to further assess hormonal effects and sperm health after this treatment.

This study found that the protein Foxn1 is crucial for the development and fat-storing capacity of dermal white adipose tissue in mice, influencing both lipid metabolism and adipogenesis in the skin through Bmp2 and Igf2 signaling pathways.

This case report describes a 7.5-year-old girl with precocious puberty displaying significant secondary sexual development and advanced bone age, treated monthly with Leuprolide.
