April 2018 in “Biology of reproduction” This study concluded that dietary changes alter serum progesterone and estradiol levels in late gestation ewes, likely due to metabolism rather than changes in placental steroid synthesis.
December 2025 in “International Journal of Innovative Technologies in Social Science” This review suggests that while estrogen-targeted therapies may improve skin quality in postmenopausal women, systemic risks limit hormone replacement therapies, and more research is needed for localized treatments.
October 2025 in “Minerva Obstetrics and Gynecology” This review suggests that estroprogestins with anti-androgenic progestins, like cyproterone acetate and drospirenone, may effectively manage androgen excess in PCOS women, considering individual patient profiles.
