In this study, fenugreek seed extract showed significant androgenic and spermatogenic effects in male rats, likely through inhibiting testosterone metabolism, without impacting cardiovascular health.

In this review, the authors discuss various skin conditions linked to hyperandrogenism, such as acne and alopecia, with a focus on androgen-targeted therapies, suggesting these are generally more effective than non-androgen-targeted options.

This article reviews the use of hair cortisol concentration as a biomarker to assess long-term stress in both animals and humans, but it reports no new experimental results.

This source outlines various antiandrogen and androgen inhibitor drugs used to treat cutaneous disorders of hyperandrogenism, detailing their mechanisms, uses, dosages, and side effects, with emphasis on spironolactone, finasteride, dutasteride, and oral contraceptives.

This study reported that FDG PET/CT imaging provided additional information that significantly impacted the treatment and prognosis in seven out of ten canine cancer patients, suggesting its potential in veterinary oncology.

Among families with pediatric brain disease, this study identified over 200 novel genetic causes, revealing potential treatment points using drug repurposing or nutritional supplementation.

This review discusses strategies for weight loss in obesity through dietary energy deficits and nutrient profile modifications and highlights the need for personalized dietary approaches; it reports no new data.

This review discusses the definition of polycystic ovary syndrome proposed by the AE-PCOS Society Task Force, emphasizing hyperandrogenism, ovarian dysfunction, and excluding related disorders, while noting potential variations needing more research.

This review discusses how various reproductive factors are linked to increased risks of hypertension and cardiovascular disease, noting associations with impaired fetal growth, male hypogonadism, and effects of contraceptive use, but reports no new results.

The document concludes that using LC-MS/MS for measuring androgens is more accurate than older methods, but it needs careful validation and standardized references to be most effective.

This review examines how genetic variants associated with polycystic ovary syndrome affect reproductive success differently in men and women, supporting the theory that intralocus sexual conflict may explain its persistence.

This review discusses the management of hirsutism in women, highlighting promising treatments like metformin for polycystic ovarian syndrome, and emphasizes the importance of understanding hair growth cycles and realistic treatment expectations; it reports no new clinical results.

This study reports that chemically induced short anogenital distance in male rat fetuses involved distinctive transcriptional changes, suggesting roles for estrogen and Wnt2 signaling in anogenital tissue development.

This study found that salivary testosterone levels were significantly lower in oligospermic and azoospermic men compared to normal men, suggesting its potential use in assessing male androgen status.

In this study, male patients treated with 150 mCi of radioactive iodine showed no negative impact on fertility, but long-term studies with larger groups are needed to further assess hormonal effects and sperm health after this treatment.

This study concluded that daily treatment with 1 mg finasteride did not affect spermatogenesis or semen production in young men and had small, reversible effects on prostate volume and serum PSA.

This review assesses the current literature on COVID-19's effects on male sexual and reproductive health, highlighting significant research gaps and providing guidance for patient counseling.

This study found that women with idiopathic hyperandrogenemia had higher urinary Bisphenol A levels compared to healthy controls, suggesting a potential role of this chemical in the condition.

The guideline recommends mental health involvement in diagnosing gender identity disorder and outlines hormone and surgical treatment protocols, emphasizing safety, informed consent, and long-term monitoring.

This review discusses the role of oestrogens in stimulating growth hormone secretion and influencing linear bone growth in children, and reports no new clinical results; the authors suggest that oestrogens play a key role in pubertal growth spurts for both genders.
