This review discusses the physiology and potential hormonal mechanisms involved in female pattern hair loss, as well as the current hormonal and hormone-modifying treatments available, but reports no new research findings.

In this article, the authors reviewed essential terminology and recommendations for creating a welcoming healthcare environment for transgender patients and providing gender-affirming therapy, emphasizing the unique health needs and disparities faced by this population.

This study found that castration increased 5 alpha-reductase activity in the sebaceous glands of male hamsters, but administering testosterone propionate or 5 alpha-dihydrotestosterone inhibited this effect.

This study found that self-reported use of finasteride or oral contraceptives did not reduce the incidence of renal cancer in participants of the PCLO trial.

This review discusses gender-linked skin differences, such as hormone metabolism and sebum production, and reports no new findings; it suggests these insights might inform male-specific dermatological treatments or cosmetic products.

This review discusses the role of hormones in acne vulgaris and highlights the need for further research on their mechanisms of action; it reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the increased risk of venous thromboembolism associated with combined hormonal contraceptives, particularly noting higher risks with certain progestins like desogestrel, gestodene, and cyproterone acetate, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study identified three genes with significantly higher expression in androgen-sensitive beard dermal papilla cells compared to androgen-insensitive scalp cells, suggesting potential novel signaling pathways in hair follicles.

This review discusses the physiological basis, history, and current development of male hormonal contraception, highlighting its potential risks and benefits, but reports no new research findings.

This study suggests that alterations in copper metabolism may play a key role in the development of androgenetic alopecia in women, presenting potential targets for treatment strategies.

This study found that older women with polycystic ovarian syndrome are more likely to experience metabolic syndrome and have different metabolic and reproductive profiles than younger women.

This study found that among MtF transgender individuals, those with early-onset gender dysphoria exhibited differences in age at surgery, sexual orientation, and sexual activity compared to those with later-onset dysphoria.

Patients with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome in this study had significantly higher anxiety and depression scores compared to controls, but showed no significant differences in temperament and character traits.

This study found that women with polycystic ovary syndrome in the Black Sea Region had higher levels of androgens, obesity, and insulin resistance, increasing their risk of metabolic syndrome compared to healthy women.

This study found that patients with SARS-CoV-2 associated telogen effluvium experienced hair loss sooner after infection compared to telogen effluvium from other causes, with distinct dermoscopic findings aiding diagnosis.

This review concludes that preoperative hormonal stimulation with testosterone or DHT may help increase penile length and glans circumference, easing hypospadias surgery and potentially reducing postoperative complications.

This study suggests men with early androgenetic alopecia might have hormonal profiles similar to women with polycystic ovarian syndrome, potentially indicating risk for related health complications.

This study found that finasteride treatment significantly reduced hirsutism scores in women with idiopathic hirsutism over 6 months and was well tolerated.

This review examines the pharmacological properties and potential clinical benefits of 5α‐reductase inhibition in prostate cancer but reports no new research findings.

The study created a test that found hormonal and toxic effects in plant and fungal extracts using prostate cancer cells.

This review discusses the limitations of current hair classification systems and highlights the need for standardized reporting of key hair characteristics to improve study comparisons; it reports no new results.

This case study describes a 15-year-old girl with a Sertoli–Leydig cell tumor who showed high androgen levels and steroidogenic responses similar to patients with polycystic ovary syndrome before surgery.

This study reports that two oral hormonal agents, dimethandrolone undecanoate and 11β-methylnortestosterone dodecylcarbonate, may effectively suppress hormones to contraceptive levels in men with mild side effects, though longer-term trials are required to confirm their safety and efficacy.

In this study from IJIRT, researchers evaluated teaching programs focused on enhancing waste management knowledge among women, assessing the effectiveness of these educational initiatives.

This study found that administering testosterone increased the expression of sexual behavior and elevated serum testosterone and DHT levels in female capuchin monkeys, hinting at potential insights into testosterone use and its risks in humans.

The study concluded that serum AMH is a useful tool for diagnosing polycystic ovarian morphology in women with persistent acne, potentially replacing transvaginal ultrasound, though it does not correlate with hyperandrogenemia.

This article reviews the use of cross-sex hormonal therapy in transmen and reports that it is reasonably safe, suggesting monitoring should be frequent initially but can be less frequent over time.

This study found that women with polycystic ovary syndrome in the UK show significant differences in phenotypic and metabolic characteristics based on ethnicity, age, and obesity, influencing management strategies.

This study found that male pattern baldness may serve as a clinical marker for circulating sex hormone levels in men with localized prostate cancer, while chest hair density showed no significant hormone association.

This review discusses studies on hair growth and protein synthesis in hair follicles, highlighting the differing responses of mohair and cashmere goat follicles to signaling molecules, biotin, and amino acids, but contains no new results.
