This study found that men with androgenetic alopecia had higher serum levels of testosterone and DHT compared to controls, suggesting a significant role of serum androgens in AGA development and progression.

Androgens and SARMs play a role in body mass, frailty, skin health, and hair growth, and are used in treating prostate cancer, acne, and hair loss, with potential for new uses and improved versions in the future.

This abstract provides no study findings but is a webpage with institutional and subscription information for accessing JAMA Dermatology content.

This study found no correlation between clinical signs and sex steroid levels in ferrets with hyperadrenocorticism and noted that androstenedione was elevated in many cases.

This review discusses various skin lesions associated with endocrinologic disorders such as Cushing's syndrome and adrenal insufficiency, and it reports no new clinical results.

This study highlights the importance of understanding the roles of hyperandrogenemia and insulin resistance in the development and progression of PCOS, emphasizing further research to clarify their mutual influence.

This study emphasizes the necessity of confirming elevated testosterone levels detected by immunoassay with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectroscopy before pursuing more complex diagnostic evaluations.

This study found that self-reported androgen-driven phenotypes, like balding and finger length ratios, were not associated with cancer aggressiveness or biochemical recurrence in prostate cancer after prostatectomy.

In this study, patients with larger prostates were observed to have a higher prevalence of androgenetic alopecia.

In this study, researchers at a tertiary care center reported a significant correlation between severe COVID-19 cases and the presence of androgenic alopecia, suggesting that androgen receptor expression may influence COVID-19 severity.

Hair loss is mainly due to genes and hormones, and can be treated with minoxidil and finasteride. Excessive hair growth is linked to certain disorders and can be managed with hormonal therapy and laser hair removal.

This study demonstrates that patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia have a higher severity and frequency of male pattern baldness compared to a control group.

This article proposes that androgenic alopecia might be an evolutionary mechanism for reducing prostate cancer risk by enhancing UV absorption, rather than being a risk factor.

In this study, higher scores of HOMA-IR and FIRI suggested that male patients with early-onset androgenetic alopecia may have insulin resistance, although no significant differences in metabolic syndrome were found compared to controls.

This source reports that PCOS, a complex endocrinal condition, is characterized by hyperandrogenism, which leads to symptoms like hirsutism, acne, and alopecia; genetic factors and hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis disruption play significant roles in its development, but more research is needed to understand these mechanisms fully.

This study found that individuals with both androgenetic alopecia and metabolic syndrome had thicker subcutaneous adipose tissue in the frontal scalp, along with unfavorable metabolic parameters, compared to those without metabolic syndrome.

This study suggests that perforin/granzyme-B might play a role in the interaction of sex hormones in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome.

This case study observed that unilateral oophorectomy may improve severe hyperandrogenism in adolescents with PCOS, even when imaging and SVS do not indicate neoplasm.

This case report highlights the importance of considering an ovarian steroid cell tumor diagnosis in young women with increased testosterone after ruling out polycystic ovarian syndrome.

This review discusses the causes and management of hirsutism, recommending low-dose oral contraceptives with flutamide over cyproterone-containing preparations, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study suggests that hepatocellular carcinoma in cirrhotic men is associated with altered sex-steroid metabolism, indicated by lower testosterone and 5 alpha-dihydrotestosterone levels compared to cirrhosis alone.

This study found that among transgender men undergoing long-term testosterone therapy, a severe pattern of androgenetic alopecia may indicate increased arterial stiffness, as measured by higher intima-media thickness of the carotid artery.

This study determined that the upper normal cut-off levels for free testosterone, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate, and total testosterone among reproductive-age women in China are 26 pmol/L, 4.92 μmol/L, and 2.39 nmol/L, respectively.

In this study, androgenetic alopecia in males was associated with a higher occurrence of abdominal obesity and arterial hypertension compared to those without the condition.

This study found that men with early-onset androgenic alopecia had a higher prevalence of metabolic syndrome compared to controls without the condition.

Anti-androgens are effective for female acne but less so for male-pattern hair loss, with side effects similar to birth control pills.

This case report describes a 70-year-old woman whose obstructive sleep apnea resolved after the removal of a testosterone-producing ovarian tumor, supporting the theory that testosterone influences OSA in women.
