This article suggests that testosterone therapy might be considered if other treatments fail, but emphasizes discussing potential risks and benefits with patients before prescribing.

In this study, phenylthiocarbamide intake was associated with hair graying in rats, while switching to tap water led some rats to regain their original fur color, suggesting dietary factors influence pigmentation.

This study found that DHEA along with osteogenic induction medium significantly promotes the osteogenic differentiation and proliferation of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells from older individuals.

This study developed a rat model for catamenial epilepsy, suggesting that neurosteroid withdrawal may increase seizure frequency and help test new treatments.

This study developed and validated a highly sensitive LC-MS/MS method for detecting multiple steroid hormones in urine and serum/plasma, demonstrating its potential for use in large-scale biomonitoring studies.

In this study, researchers developed and tested a novel peptide, AMHR2BP, which mimics the function of Anti-Müllerian hormone to protect ovarian follicles in mice, showing promise for preserving ovarian health during chemotherapy without causing toxicity.

This study found that novel MPC inhibitor analogues with specific chemical modifications promoted significant hair growth in shaved mice when applied topically.

Minoxidil and 4-MA can help treat hair loss.

This study found that mirex and TPA promote papilloma formation in CD-1 mouse skin through distinct populations of mutant Ha-ras cells, resulting in additive tumor yields.

This study observed that topiramate treatment in female zebrafish may impair genetic transmission to offspring, reducing expression of certain skeletal development-related genes in embryos.

This study demonstrated that methylation of the 5-alpha reductase type 2 (5-AR2) promoter is linked to reduced expression of the 5-AR2 protein, possibly explaining resistance to Finasteride in some BPH patients.

This review examines the negative effects of anabolic-androgenic steroid use on the male reproductive system, including impaired testosterone production, sperm production issues, and adverse metabolic consequences without reporting new clinical results.

This study reports that a 15-year-old with trichotillomania showed improvement with aripiprazole treatment, though no consensus on treatment exists in the literature.

This opinion article explores the possibility of repurposing anticancer drugs, like methotrexate, as antimalarials, highlighting that toxicity might be manageable with appropriate dosing according to Paracelsus' law.

This study reported that in a histopathologic analysis of five parenteral heroin users with candida folliculitis, candida and pseudohyphae were frequently found in association with hair follicles.

This study found that rhodamine B penetrated human hair fibers more effectively from an aqueous solution compared to a methanol/ethanol solvent, with penetration depending on hair morphology.

This study found that finasteride impaired object recognition memory and altered hippocampal dendritic structures in male 3xTg-AD mice, suggesting potential sex differences in Alzheimer's disease pathology.

This article discusses pharmacologic treatments for male sexual offenders, focusing on reducing sexual drive through nonhormonal or hormonal means, but it reports no new clinical results.

This case report suggests that methotrexate therapy for psoriasis may lead to hair regrowth in androgenetic alopecia, potentially due to its effects on testosterone metabolism.

This study found that alcohol dependence is associated with altered HPA axis functioning, with AD patients showing higher hair cortisol concentrations and reduced ACTH and cortisol levels, irrespective of childhood maltreatment history.

Exposure to certain glycol ethers during pregnancy may be linked to lower verbal comprehension in children.

This study concluded that anabolic-androgenic steroids negatively impact male reproductive health, including reduced testosterone production, impaired sperm production, and increased risk of sexual dysfunction and metabolic issues.

This study found that mitotane causes specific changes in cortisol metabolism, including increased excretion of certain metabolites, which may influence cortisol bioavailability without hindering early detection of adrenocortical carcinoma recurrence.

In this mouse study, researchers found that nanoparticles loaded with umbilical cord-derived stem cell membranes and minoxidil enhanced hair growth by improving drug solubility and transdermal delivery, increasing VEGF, IGF-1, MKI67, and CTNNB protein levels in skin tissue compared to regular minoxidil.

This review discusses the use of hair analysis for detecting misuse of drugs in livestock, covering hair biology, drug incorporation, sampling methods, and analytical techniques, but reports no new findings.

In this experimental study, researchers found that using aluminum foil in hair bleaching significantly improves lightness and color uniformity compared to not using foil, indicating a more effective technique for achieving optimal hair coloring results.

This review provides an overview of skin manifestations associated with substance use disorder but reports no new clinical findings; the authors emphasize the importance of dermatological evaluation and multidisciplinary care in managing these cases.

This study found that adding methionine to a low-protein diet improved wool production and feed efficiency in Angora rabbits by promoting hair follicle development through mechanisms involving IGF1, KAP, and versican signaling.

This review discusses the impact of endocrine-disrupting chemicals on pediatric health, linking them to various disorders, and calls for improved biomonitoring strategies and precautionary policies.

This study developed and validated a method for measuring stress biomarkers in hair during pregnancy, finding that glucocorticoid levels increased over trimesters while endocannabinoid levels remained constant, suggesting hair analysis as a reliable tool for monitoring stress responses in pregnant women.
