Finasteride may decrease semen quality but not harm sperm production, and stopping the drug can improve semen quality; hyperprolactinemia can cause infertility but is treatable with medication.

This study found a significant association between AGDAC measurements and the presence of PCOS, suggesting it could be an effective clinical tool in diagnosing the condition and its phenotypes, especially when combined with AMH.

This study found that older age and obesity are predictors of metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance syndrome among infertile Vietnamese women with PCOS.

This review discusses the International Evidence-Based PCOS Guidelines, which aim to improve diagnosis and management of PCOS and its associated comorbidities, noting the importance of early intervention and healthy lifestyle changes; it reports no new results.

In this case report, a male patient with hair loss showed unusually high testosterone levels without other symptoms or supplement use; follow-up testing revealed normal levels, showcasing the importance of considering testosterone-protein binding differences and using equilibrium dialysis for accurate assessment.

To diagnose Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, two out of three signs—irregular periods, high male hormone levels, or cysts on the ovaries—are needed.

This study reviews the impact of supplementation on hair growth in nonscarring alopecia using baseline and follow-up laboratory data but reports no new clinical results.

Discrimination during pregnancy affects newborn stress hormone levels.

This study found that among older men, lower calculated free testosterone was significantly associated with a higher risk of heart failure, suggesting a possible role of testosterone deficiency in heart failure incidence.

This case report describes a 34-year-old woman who, after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery, experienced improvements in symptoms of dizziness and energy following treatment with oral ferrous sulfate for iron deficiency.

This study found that metformin therapy is associated with the initiation of ovulatory cycles in women with PCOS and a trend toward reduced 17P responses after six months, but did not improve hirsutism or body composition.

This case report suggests that Post-Finasteride Syndrome may involve a sustained imbalance in gut bacteria, with fermenting and hydrogen sulphide-producing bacteria disrupting hormone and mitochondrial functions.

This case report proposes that Post-Finasteride Syndrome might be sustained by specific microbes in the small intestine affecting hormone excretion and mitochondrial function, warranting further investigation in a larger cohort.

In this study, the authors concluded that the VCD-induced follicular depletion rat model can effectively simulate the perimenopause transition, with hormonal changes distinguishing early/mid-transition from late transition to estropause.

This study found an association between higher phthalate exposure and increased incidence of precocious puberty in girls, suggesting a need to reduce children's exposure to these endocrine disruptors.

This review discusses the role of elevated androgens in the skin-related symptoms of polycystic ovary syndrome, such as acne and hirsutism, and provides insights into the mechanisms behind these manifestations to inform effective treatment strategies.

This article discusses the impact of COVID-19 on various sectors and reports no new clinical findings.

Hormones, especially androgens, play a key role in causing acne, and treatments like hormone control pills and hormone-blocking medications can help.

This study found that hair and nails can effectively measure hormone changes such as testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone during the peripubertal period in dogs, with variations observed between males and females at specific developmental stages.

This case report observed that hypogonadism and cold sensation resolved in a patient after discontinuing 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors, suggesting these medications may contribute to such symptoms.

This article discusses telogen effluvium in women, its causes, and typical diagnostic methods, but reports no new research findings on clinical outcomes or treatments.

This article summarizes Dr. Alan Jacobs's presentation at the 2016 ISHRS World Congress but reports no new research findings.

This review discusses recent research on male infertility causes and treatments, emphasizing the need for further understanding of idiopathic sperm abnormalities and molecular factors to improve patient outcomes; it reports no new clinical results.

This study reported the first known case of tertiary hypothyroidism in a dog, diagnosed after a Labrador treated for hyperadrenocorticism presented with related symptoms and an MRI-revealed pituitary mass.

In this study, researchers identified a novel p.R50X mutation in the vitamin D receptor gene, linked to hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets in two siblings.

This case study found that treating a dog with primary hypothyroidism using oral levothyroxine sodium led to significant clinical improvement within six weeks.

These guidelines recommend testing thyroid function in patients with obesity due to common hypothyroidism, and highlight that weight loss is crucial for addressing hormonal imbalances, with only modest weight loss benefits from treating endocrine disorders.

This study found associations between genetic predictors of increased testosterone and cardiovascular risk factors, but the implications for testosterone supplementation are unclear due to uncertainties in genetic variant functions.

This study found a significant association between gut microbiome composition and PCOS in Indian women, relating specific bacterial genera to reproductive health and metabolic indicators.

The guideline provides healthcare professionals in South Africa with instructions for comprehensive, multidisciplinary gender-affirming care, including HIV prevention and treatment for transgender and gender diverse individuals.
