research Exploring Hormone Therapy Effects on Reproduction and Health in Transgender Individuals
Hormone therapy improves mental well-being in transgender individuals but requires ongoing health monitoring.
research Effects of Short Photoperiod on Cashmere Growth, Hormone Concentrations and Hair Follicle Development-Related Gene Expression in Cashmere Goats
Short photoperiods improve cashmere growth and quality in goats by changing hormone levels and gene expression.
research Androgen Profiling by Liquid Chromatography–Tandem Mass Spectrometry in Healthy Normal-Weight Ovulatory and Anovulatory Late Adolescent and Young Women
The research found that anovulatory young women have higher androgen and hormone levels than those who ovulate, suggesting immature hormonal regulation rather than a specific condition.
research Peripheral Skin Temperature and Circadian Biological Clock in Shift Nurses After a Day Off
Shift nurses show altered body temperature and stress hormone levels, suggesting their body clocks adjust to irregular schedules.
research Prostate-Sparing Effects in Primates of the Potent Androgen 7α-Methyl-19-Nortestosterone: A Potential Alternative to Testosterone for Androgen Replacement and Male Contraception
MENT could be a better option than testosterone for male hormone therapy and birth control because it works well at lower doses and has fewer side effects on the prostate.
research Hirsutism and Virilization in the Female
The chapter explains the causes of excessive hair growth and masculinization in women and how to measure hormone levels related to these conditions.
research Effect of Evening Primrose Oil on Hyperandrogenism Markers in Women with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome

research Role of Environmental Factors and Gonadotoxin Exposure in Unexplained Male Infertility
Environmental factors and exposure to toxins may contribute to male infertility by affecting sperm and hormone function.
research The Follicular Automaton Model: Effect of Stochasticity and Synchronization of Hair Cycles
The model showed that randomness accurately describes individual hair growth cycles and that synchronization can cause large fluctuations not seen in humans.
research Androgenic Alopecia: Cross-Talk Between Cell Signal Transduction Pathways
Hair loss in Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is due to altered cell sensitivity to hormones, not increased hormone levels. Hair growth periods shorten over time, causing hair to become thinner and shorter. This is linked to miscommunication between cell pathways in hair follicles. There's also a change in gene expression related to blood vessels and cell growth in balding hair follicles. The exact molecular causes of AGA are still unclear.
research Diagnostic Criteria for Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome
To diagnose Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, two out of three signs—irregular periods, high male hormone levels, or cysts on the ovaries—are needed.
research Original Research—Endocrinology: Comparison of the Steady-State Pharmacokinetics, Metabolism, and Variability of a Transdermal Testosterone Patch Versus a Transdermal Testosterone Gel in Hypogonadal Men
The testosterone patch and gel are both effective, but they have different absorption patterns and effects on hormone levels.
research Women's Health Care During the Perimenopause
The document concludes that low-dose oral contraceptives and hormonal therapies can manage perimenopause symptoms and reduce some health risks, but lifestyle changes and disease screening are also important.
