This review discusses potential mechanisms contributing to higher COVID-19 mortality among men, particularly the roles of smoking, genetic factors, and reproductive hormones, without presenting new clinical findings.

This review found that hormones significantly impact women's health and athletic performance, influencing the menstrual cycle, menopause, and exercise responses, while therapies like contraception and hormone replacement require personalized approaches to balance benefits and risks.

High testosterone to epitestosterone ratio in hair could predict male-pattern baldness.

This study found that testosterone and its metabolite DHT reduced macrophage-mediated phagocytosis of bacteria like MRSA and P. aeruginosa in vitro, and blocking testosterone's conversion to DHT improved bacterial clearance, suggesting potential therapeutic strategies for combating wound infections in the elderly.

This case report describes a 4-year-old boy with autism and a rare condition causing precocious puberty, where treatment for hyperandrogenism unexpectedly intensified his aggressive behavior.

This review discusses the roles estrogens play in males and androgens in females, challenging the traditional view of strictly "male" and "female" hormones, but it does not report new experimental findings.

This study found that testosterone therapy improved physical performance, strength, lean body mass, and serum cholesterol in older men with low testosterone levels, with or without the addition of finasteride.

In this study, selective overexpression of androgen receptors in muscle cells increased lean muscle mass and reduced fat mass in transgenic rodents, suggesting a potential target for drug development.

In this study, patients with testicular feminization syndrome showed limited anabolic responsiveness to dihydrotestosterone, potentially due to reduced affinity of nuclear receptor sites for androgenic steroids rather than defective testosterone conversion.

This review discusses nonsurgical techniques for facial masculinization and feminization in transgender patients and reports no new clinical findings, utilizing data from analogous procedures in cisgender individuals.

This study found that in vitro environments simulating testosterone levels in elderly males, testosterone and its metabolite DHT significantly reduced macrophages' ability to phagocytize MRSA and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, suggesting AR manipulation and inhibiting testosterone-DHT conversion might help fight wound infections in the elderly.

This article reviews and critiques Tamsin Wilton's arguments on MTF transsexualism, suggesting her work reaffirms Cartesian dualism rather than dismantling it, and emphasizes the need for continued dialogue in transsex, lesbian, and feminist communities.

This consensus document discusses guidelines for gender-affirming hormone therapy in India, offering recommendations based on a review of existing evidence and expert input, without reporting new clinical results.

This review summarizes key characteristics of men's health issues such as erectile dysfunction and prostate cancer, along with specific nursing considerations, and reports no new research results.

This review examines testosterone's role in male health and aging but reports no new clinical results; the authors highlight the need for further research on optimal testosterone levels to prevent age-related conditions.

This study found that supraphysiological and physiological androgen levels inhibited U937 macrophages' phagocytosis of MRSA compared to untreated controls, but AR antagonism reversed this effect, suggesting targeting AR or using 5alpha-reductase inhibitors might aid bacterial clearance in elderly males' chronic wounds.

This study found that men with male pattern baldness are perceived as older, and shaving heads increased perceived dominance, but neither influenced leader preference in different contexts.

This study highlights the severe health risks and dependence associated with non-medical androgen use among gym-goers, stressing the need for specialized primary care and harm-reduction strategies due to potentially fatal outcomes even after prolonged cessation.

This review discusses the potential link between androgen deficiency and increased COVID-19 severity in aging men, but reports no new clinical results; it suggests that low testosterone levels may pose a risk factor.

This article discusses congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21 hydroxylase deficiency as a cause of ambiguous genitals in 46XX individuals and reports no new research findings.

New treatments for male hypogonadism are effective and should be personalized.

Bald men are not more virile and may have fewer sexual partners.

This review discusses the dual role of testosterone in COVID-19 progression and suggests its importance in understanding the disease's mechanisms, highlighting the need for further targeted research.

This article reviews the coordination of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis, male fertility, and therapies for hypogonadism, but reports no new clinical findings.

This narrative review highlights that declining testosterone levels are a complex public health issue potentially influenced by modifiable lifestyle factors and environmental stressors, suggesting integrated strategies may be needed to address the trend's impacts on health.

This study found that transgender men using testosterone therapy had higher rates of acne and increased body hair growth, resembling male patterns more closely than those not on testosterone.

This study highlights the gap between media claims and limited scientific evidence on the impact of alternative therapies for men's health, emphasizing the need for larger-scale trials for informed patient counseling.

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 study suggests that sexual dimorphism in adipose tissue functions may be linked to androgen levels, as women with PCOS demonstrated a more masculine adipokine expression pattern.
