This study concluded that current cross-sex hormone treatments for trans men and trans women are effective with a low risk of side effects in the short term, though they did observe specific clinical changes.
research Effect of Carbamates on mRNA Encoding Lipid Enzymes in Hamster Flank Organs
This study demonstrated that steroidal carbamates 7–10 altered mRNA expression related to lipid metabolism in hamster flank organs and inhibited 5α-reductase activity without binding to the progesterone receptor.
research Sex Hormones and Related Compounds, Including Hormonal Contraceptives
This review discusses various sex hormones and related compounds, including estrogens and anabolic steroids, but reports no new findings; it highlights existing literature from 2014 regarding their use and effects.
research Flutamide was more effective than finasteride for idiopathic hirsutism
Flutamide worked better than finasteride for reducing excessive hair growth in women, but had more side effects.
research Diosgenin: Chemistry, extraction, quantification and health benefits
This review discusses diosgenin's potential benefits for several chronic diseases and emphasizes extraction and quantification techniques, but reports no clinical findings.
research PROTACs in 2025: from the laboratory concept to clinical breakthrough
This article discusses the impact of PROTACs technology in transforming drug discovery with its novel degradation mechanism, but it reports no new experimental findings.
research MK-386, an Inhibitor of 5α-Reductase Type 1, Reduces Dihydrotestosterone Concentrations in Serum and Sebum without Affecting Dihydrotestosterone Concentrations in Semen1
This study found that MK-386 selectively suppressed sebum DHT levels in a dose-dependent manner, suggesting potential use for treating acne.
research Rare steroid cell tumor found in region North Brazil: case report
This case report describes a 52-year-old postmenopausal woman diagnosed with a rare Steroid Tumor Without Other Specification, highlighting the diagnostic challenges and treatment approach involving bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy.
research A computational approach to mechanistic and predictive toxicology of pesticides
This study investigated the modes of action of selected pesticides, suggesting that prochloraz and tebuconazole are linked to reproductive disorders via steroidogenesis disruption, while mancozeb involves inflammatory processes.
research First reboxetine trial results reported
This abstract reports preliminary data on the antidepressant reboxetine, noted for its different mode of action, discussed at a major psychiatry conference; it provides no new research findings.
research Mitoxantrone
Mitoxantrone is effective for treating acute leukemia, especially in older patients, with a lower risk of heart damage.
research Steroid Cell Tumor of the Ovary in an Adolescent: A Rare Case Report
This review discusses steroid cell tumors of the ovary, their hormone production, symptoms, and evaluation, emphasizing surgery as the key treatment approach; it reports no new clinical results.
research 5α-reduction of epitestosterone is catalysed by human SRD5A1 and SRD5A2 and increases androgen receptor transactivation
This study found that epitestosterone, a stereoisomer of testosterone, is metabolized to 5α-dihydroepitestosterone by human 5α-reductase enzymes, which enhances its androgenic activity and reduces its antagonistic effect on testosterone-driven androgen receptor signaling.
