Testosterone may both worsen and protect against COVID-19 effects in men.

In this study, exposure to the drug finasteride in Silurana tropicalis significantly increased testosterone levels in liver and testis tissues and altered gene expression related to male reproduction and oxidative stress.

In a clinical trial, this study found that a modified slow-release oral testosterone formulation improved pharmacokinetics, delaying serum testosterone peaks and reducing serum DHT compared to immediate-release formulations, especially when combined with finasteride.

This study found that while testosterone administration reduced myocardial damage in gonadectomized rats after ischemia/reperfusion injury, Finasteride led to greater improvements, whereas 4-hydroxyandrostenedione worsened outcomes.

This article highlights the need for dermatologists to define evidence-based standards to provide high-value care and reduce unnecessary testing, as recommended by the American Academy of Dermatology.

In this study, researchers found no significant differences in serum levels of DHEAs, DHT, and testosterone between female patients with oral lichen planus and healthy controls, suggesting no neuroendocrine etiology linked to the condition.

In this study, researchers found no significant differences in the serum levels of DHEAs, DHT, and testosterone between female patients with oral lichen planus and healthy controls, suggesting no neuroendocrine etiology is associated with this condition.

This study found that Helianthus annuus oil promoted hair growth in a testosterone-induced alopecia mouse model, with higher hair density observed compared to untreated mice, though it was less effective than the standard minoxidil treatment.

This study found a weak positive correlation between dihydrotestosterone levels and C-reactive protein in COVID-19 patients, particularly in those with low testosterone, suggesting potential inflammatory effects.

In this case report, a 25-year-old transgender woman on testosterone-blocking therapy developed generalised hypertrichosis after starting ciclosporin for severe plaque psoriasis, illustrating that ciclosporin can induce this side effect even under androgen suppression.

This research highlights the common and varied skin-related symptoms associated with chronic kidney disease, emphasizing that early recognition and multi-pronged management involving nephrology and dermatology can improve patient outcomes.

This study reported the development of a novel and reliable liquid chromatographic method to measure testosterone and epitestosterone in human urine, offering sensitive detection for doping control.

This chapter reviews the biosynthesis, mechanism of action, and therapeutic effects of testosterone and related androgens, but reports no new research findings.

This study found that administering an alcoholic extract of Mentha spicata leaves significantly reduced testosterone levels and aggressive behavior in female rats with elevated testosterone, suggesting its potential protective role against such symptoms.

This report describes the unexpected development of alopecia areata in kidney-pancreas transplant recipients undergoing cyclosporine-based immunosuppressive therapy, suggesting a complex relationship between the treatment and disease.

In this study, abnormal glucose tolerance was found to be prevalent among young Indian women with PCOS, and the use of an oral glucose tolerance test significantly improved its detection.

In this study, nearly all predialysis chronic kidney disease patients had at least one dermatologic finding, with xerosis being the most common, highlighting the prevalence and diversity of skin issues in this population.

This study suggests that analyzing hair samples with a liquid chromatography-mass spectrometric assay may offer a reliable method to measure average quarterly vitamin D levels, potentially complementing blood tests.

This study evaluated a hair tonic formulated from oil palm leaf extract, finding it demonstrated very strong antioxidant activity and could prevent hair decolorization from sun exposure, with effective concentrations ranging from 25 to 200 ppm.

In this study, researchers observed that all kidney transplant patients at a Mexico City hospital developed at least one type of skin condition, with infectious dermatoses being the most common. The authors recommend dermatological assessments before transplantation to manage dermatoses, potentially reducing related health risks.

This abstract appears to consist entirely of repeated color specifications and logo guidelines, providing no research findings or new results.

This study found that dermatological issues, such as xerosis and pigmentation, are common in chronic kidney disease patients and increase with the severity and duration of the disease, indicating that dialysis often exacerbates these conditions.

This review discusses five potential mechanisms for kidney stone formation, including urinary supersaturation, Randall's plaques, sex hormones, the microbiome, and immune responses, and reports no new results.

This review discusses the use of antimüllerian hormone as a marker of ovarian reserve in infertility diagnosis and treatment, noting it reflects oocyte quantity but not health or pregnancy likelihood.

This study observed that methanol extract of Phoenix dactilifera improved kidney function in rats at 4 and 8 mg/kg doses, but a 16 mg/kg dose may impair kidney function by affecting urea and potassium excretion.

In this study, researchers developed a method to control the valence states of Mo in nanozymes, optimizing their activity for ROS-related therapies, particularly acute kidney injury treatment, and enabling real-time monitoring with photoacoustic imaging.

This study concluded that while remote interventions using digital health technology can enhance health-related outcomes, medication adherence, and economic status in kidney transplant recipients, their effect on tacrolimus concentration is not clearly understood.

This research examined krill oil's effects on benign prostatic hyperplasia and found that it inhibited the growth of prostate cells in vitro and reduced prostate size and weight in a BPH rat model, suggesting potential as a prophylactic or therapeutic agent for BPH.

Being obese and eating too many calories may increase the risk of kidney cancer, but physical activity doesn't seem to affect this risk.

This study found that COVID-19 infection disrupts spermatogenesis, alters testicular cell populations, and may impact male fertility by causing long-term changes in testicular function and reduced sperm quality, as observed even in patients who have recovered from the acute phase of the infection.
