research Effects of Pre- and Post-Pubertal Dihydrotestosterone Treatment on Penile Length in 5α-Reductase Type 2 Deficiency
Dihydrotestosterone treatment can help penis growth in boys with 5α-reductase deficiency but doesn't fully normalize size after puberty.
research Improving Selective Androgen Receptor Modulator Discovery and Preclinical Evaluation
We need better ways to test and understand SARMs to make safer and more effective treatments.
research Genetic Defects of Female Sexual Differentiation
Genetic mutations can affect female sexual development, requiring personalized medical care.
research Central Precocious Puberty Secondary to Peripheral Precocious Puberty Due to a Pineal Germ Cell Tumor: A Case and Review of Literature
A pineal tumor caused a boy's early puberty, which changed from peripheral to central after treatment.
research Clinical and Metabolic Implications of Obesity in Prostate Cancer: Is Testosterone a Missing Link?
Higher BMI and lower testosterone are linked to more aggressive prostate cancer.
research Testosterone: The Male Sex Hormone

research Biochemical and Structural Characteristics, Gene Regulation, Physiological, Pathological and Clinical Features of Lipocalin-Type Prostaglandin D2 Synthase as a Multifunctional Lipocalin
Lipocalin-Type Prostaglandin D2 Synthase (L-PGDS) is a protein that plays many roles in the body, including sleep regulation, pain management, food intake, and protection against harmful substances. It also affects fat metabolism, glucose intolerance, cell maturation, and is involved in various diseases like diabetes, cancer, and arthritis. It can influence sex organ development and embryonic cell differentiation, and its levels can be used as a diagnostic marker for certain conditions.
