In this study, researchers found that unexplained liver damage in PCOS patients may involve iron metabolism and the miR-761-hepcidin/GPX4 axis, suggesting potential therapeutic targets.

This study provides a comprehensive analysis of anabolic-androgenic steroids, reporting that their use enhances muscle mass but is associated with significant health issues including cardiac muscle hypertrophy, liver disease, and changes in gender characteristics, emphasizing the need for patient awareness of these risks.

This review outlines the major health consequences of anabolic-androgenic steroid abuse, with a focus on sexual and reproductive issues, and suggests management prioritizes cessation and relapse prevention due to lack of robust randomized trials.

This review discusses recent studies on the hepatotoxic effects of anabolic androgenic steroids and selective androgen receptor modulators, including liver damage, tumors, and related conditions, and reports no new primary research results.

This source reviews the application of various natural substances, particularly plant extracts from the Ayurvedic system, in promoting hair growth, addressing common issues like pigmentation, dandruff, and hair loss.

This study explored how alopecia impacts the socio-emotional lives and daily adaptation of women, finding that while not life-threatening, alopecia initially affects how they adjust to daily routines and perceive social and partner relationships.

In this study, a very low-calorie ketogenic diet significantly improved metabolic and hormonal profiles in obese men, but did not significantly enhance most semen parameters except for sperm motility.

This study found that lipid accumulation product (LAP) and free androgen index (FAI) can highly predict liver steatosis in women with PCOS phenotype A.

This chapter reviews the presence and roles of stem cells in various body systems, focusing on their lifelong function in animals and humans, and reports no new experimental findings.

This article provides a clinical Q&A on bariatric nursing and surgical patient care and reports no new research findings.

This study reported that treatment with cyproterone acetate alone and then with incremental estrogen doses induced mild feminizing effects in late-pubertal trans-girls, with further feminization observed after adding estrogen.

In this rat study, offspring from females fertilized by finasteride-treated males showed hyperglycemia and increased hepatic glycogen, linking paternal androgen imbalance to liver issues across generations.

This thesis reviews the psychological and social challenges faced by men and women with androgenetic alopecia who seek treatment, but reports no new results.

This study reports the successful differentiation of mouse induced pluripotent stem cells into keratinocytes that can regenerate skin and its structures in an in vivo environment.
