This study found that the Bradford assay is a sensitive and reproducible alternative to the Lowry test for quantifying hair protein loss during brushing, with bleached hair releasing more protein than virgin hair.

This study found that topical application of mitochondrial electron transport chain inhibitors stimulated hair follicle stem cell activation and hair regrowth in aged mice by promoting lactate production.

This study found that honokiol inhibits enzymes related to testosterone degradation in vitro, suggesting its potential as a lead compound for developing antiaging bioactive ingredients for men.

This study found that combining Flutamide and an LHRH agonist in adult male rats effectively inhibited prostatic growth and reduced androgen-sensitive prostatic activity markers to levels similar to castrated rats.

This study found that Cacumen platycladi extract significantly promoted hair growth and reduced dihydrotestosterone levels by inhibiting 5α-reductase activity in an androgen-sensitive mouse model.

This study found that methanolic extract of Cordia plathytyrsa increased testosterone levels in male rats but did not affect other evaluated metabolic parameters.

This thesis examines the medicalization of the male and female body from the 19th century to the present, highlighting how biomedicine has shaped norms around health and illness.

This article reviews recent advancements in understanding and treating androgenetic alopecia, focusing on new genetic insights, stem cell roles, and diagnostic tools, without reporting new clinical results.

In this study, patients receiving adipose-derived stromal vascular cell transplantation for alopecia areata experienced significant hair regeneration, increased growth, and improved hair quality after 3 and 6 months, indicating potential efficacy of this stem cell-based therapy for hair loss.

Human hair follicles have a unique metabolism that changes between growth stages and may contribute to baldness.

This study assessed various androgens' diagnostic effectiveness for hyperandrogenaemia in PCOS using ROC curve analysis, but it reports no specific new results.

This review examines the relationship between polycystic ovary syndrome and cardiovascular disease risk, but reports no new clinical findings; the panel calls for guidelines to prevent CVD in this population.

This study found that lifestyle interventions improved body composition, hyperandrogenism, and insulin resistance in women with PCOS, but did not affect glucose tolerance, lipid profiles, or clinical reproductive outcomes.

This study found that sebaceous glands in bald scalp have greater androgen binding affinity and capacity than those in hairy scalp, possibly contributing to the androgenic response seen in male pattern baldness.

This study found that women experiencing diffuse hair loss had significantly lower levels of plasma sex-hormone binding globulin compared to controls, while their testosterone levels remained normal.

This study found that androgen binding in male rat livers involves specific androgen receptors, which decrease with castration and are inducible in female livers with testosterone.

In this study, androgen receptors were found only in the mane follicles of red deer stags during the breeding season, suggesting their expression is induced by seasonal hormone changes.

This study suggests that hepatocellular carcinoma in cirrhotic men is associated with altered sex-steroid metabolism, indicated by lower testosterone and 5 alpha-dihydrotestosterone levels compared to cirrhosis alone.

This review highlights surprising similarities between hair follicles and antler units, suggesting that a comparative study of their biology could benefit understanding in both areas without presenting new empirical findings.

This study evaluated an herbal emulgel formulation containing extracts from Wedelia chinensis and Cassytha filiformis for hair growth promotion in rats, finding that the combined formulation significantly increased hair growth compared to both individual extracts and the control group.

This chapter reviews hair anatomy, hair shaft structure, and various cosmetic treatments that can alter or damage hair, but it presents no new research findings.

Men with early balding should be checked for metabolic syndrome, as there's a link between the two.

This study found that women with PCOS who have an exaggerated 17-hydroxyprogesterone response to buserelin exhibit more severe hyperandrogenemia, increased insulin secretion, and reduced insulin sensitivity.

Treat scalp and beard fungal infections early with oral antifungal medication and sometimes topical therapy, avoiding unnecessary allergy tests and surgery.

This study suggests that androstendione and DHEA are useful indicators for diagnosing hyperandrogenemia in hirsute women, while DHEAS was not found to be helpful.

This study observed that testosterone therapy in transgender men enhances both physical and mental health, is safe in the short and middle term with proper follow-up, and highlights the need for endocrinologists to provide gender-affirming care despite its limited presence in medical education.

In this case report, a 33-year-old male with symptoms resembling Neuromyelitis Optica was treated with 10 mg biotin daily, which may reverse certain ophthalmologic and myelopathy findings. The researchers emphasize the need for further research on biotinidase deficiency in patients misdiagnosed with similar conditions.

This review found an increasing trend in research on sperm DNA fragmentation over the past 20 years, especially focusing on lifestyle factors, asthenozoospermia, and varicocele, with the TUNEL technique as a predominant method.

This study suggests that a mild intramuscular dose of botulinum toxin improved spermatogenesis and sperm parameters in ageing mice.

A test for nail fungus was most accurate with PAS stain, low-dose spironolactone helped two-thirds of acne patients, metformin reduced symptoms of HIV-related fat distribution changes with some side effects, and skin examination with dermoscopy was better at detecting abnormal moles, while temporary tattoos can cause skin reactions.
