This study suggests that finasteride at doses of 5 mg/kg BW or higher may adversely affect spermatogenesis and male fertility in NMRI mice.

This study reported a rare case of ovarian steroid cell tumor removal resulting in normalized hormone levels, resumption of menstruation, and subsequent spontaneous pregnancy in a 31-year-old woman.

This study found that school-related stress increases hair cortisol in girls and alters hair testosterone and cortisol levels in boys, indicating gender-specific hormonal responses to environmental changes.

In this study, two women with hyperandrogenic symptoms were found to have ovarian Leydig cell tumors after selective ovarian venous sampling and salpingo-oophorectomy, leading to a decline in testosterone levels post-surgery.

This case report highlights Leydig cell hyperplasia as a rare cause of increased testosterone and postmenopausal hirsutism, resolved after bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy in a 64-year-old woman.

This study identified N-acyl arylsulfonamides, particularly N-(Boc-piperidine-4-carbonyl)-benzenesulfonamides, as steroid sulfatase inhibitors with improved cellular potency compared to previous compounds.

This article offers HTML content and a downloadable PDF but does not provide an abstract or new findings for summary.

This study found that women with polycystic ovary syndrome have a higher prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and increased androgen bioavailability may be involved alongside metabolic factors.

This study suggests testosterone gel administered for one year to male chronic pain patients receiving morphine may improve sexual function and mental health, despite limited effects on overall pain scores.

This article discusses skin changes during pregnancy and emphasizes the importance of recognizing these physiological manifestations to prevent unnecessary tests and stress for pregnant patients; it reports no new study findings.

This article reviews assessment and management strategies for adolescent females with excessive hair growth and highlights the importance of evaluating potential androgen sources.

This study observed that female mice with disrupted 5α-reductase 1 showed increased insulin resistance and hepatic steatosis, suggesting altered glucocorticoid metabolism contributes to metabolic disorders.

The GH-IGF-I axis is likely involved in the hormonal imbalances seen in non-obese women with functional hyperandrogenism.

This study found that individuals with hair loss complaints had slightly lower zinc levels compared to controls, but the difference was clinically insignificant, suggesting zinc testing is not essential for diagnosing hair loss.

This study found that administering a supraphysiological dose of testosterone to female rats significantly reduced estrogen and progesterone levels, disrupted sex steroid receptor expression, and interfered with the embryonic implantation window, indicating potential implications for androgen-related endometrial conditions.

This case report involved a premenopausal woman with rapidly progressing virilizing symptoms caused by a rare sertoliform endometrioid carcinoma of the ovary. Following surgical intervention, her symptoms improved, highlighting the importance of recognizing virilizing symptoms as potential indicators of low-grade ovarian malignancies in similar cases.

This case report emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis of Swyer Syndrome in adolescents with slow pubertal progression and primary amenorrhea due to the high risk of germ cell cancers.

In this study, older women aged 70 and above, treated for sexual dysfunction using carefully monitored hormone therapy, reported improvements in sexual function and symptom relief, with no incidences of cancer or thromboembolic events, though some experienced breast tenderness and hair changes.

This study found that switching juvenile mice from a high-fat, high-carbohydrate diet to a control diet optimally reduced hormonal imbalances and weight, with nutraceuticals offering partial support.

This case report highlights that in severe illnesses like sepsis, myxedema coma can occur with less elevated TSH levels than typical for primary hypothyroidism, likely due to inflammatory cytokines affecting TSH secretion, even when central lesions are absent.

This case study reports a rare instance of an estradiol-secreting adrenocortical carcinoma in a 58-year-old male, causing feminization and Marie-Antoinette syndrome, with potential paraneoplastic aortitis.

This case report describes a 7-year-old boy with medulloblastoma who developed central precocious puberty, potentially triggered by the mass effect of the tumor, which was managed with leuprolide.

The guideline recommends mental health involvement in diagnosing gender identity disorder and outlines hormone and surgical treatment protocols, emphasizing safety, informed consent, and long-term monitoring.

This study found that Czech women with polycystic ovary syndrome in their thirties had a significantly worse cardiovascular risk profile compared to a control group, independent of obesity.

Mitoxantrone with a corticosteroid helps manage symptoms for some advanced prostate cancer patients but doesn't extend life.

In this study, researchers reported that about one-third of men with premature alopecia displayed hormonal shifts and higher insulin resistance, resembling the prevalence pattern of PCOS in women.

This article reviews the potential neuroprotective effects of 17α‐estradiol in neurodegenerative diseases and highlights its possibly lower toxicity compared to more feminizing hormones, but it reports no new clinical findings.
