The document concludes that sex hormones are crucial for mammalian reproduction, health, and behavior, and require more research for therapeutic use.

Acne is a common skin condition linked to diet, hormones, and genetics, and early treatment can prevent scarring.

Flutamide and a new synthetic steroid affected brain and prostate chemicals and showed potential for treating androgen-related conditions and epilepsy.

Different hair and scalp disorders cause hair loss or excess hair growth, with various treatments available depending on the specific condition.
