Both azathioprine and betamethasone treatments help with hair regrowth in alopecia areata, but azathioprine may have fewer side effects.

This study observed that direct exposure to androgens in Western clawed frogs differentially affects thyroid receptor and deiodinase gene expression in male and female tissues, offering insight into sex-specific metabolic pathway activation.

This review discusses various management methods for adolescents with PCOS, highlighting lifestyle modifications and pharmaceuticals like metformin and oral contraceptives, but reports no new clinical results; the authors emphasize individualized treatment plans.

This study identified that derivatives 4, 4b, and 4c strongly inhibited the enzyme type 1 5α-reductase and decreased reproductive organ weights in hamsters, suggesting potential as prodrugs for prostate tumor growth inhibition.

This article reviews existing knowledge on postmenopausal hyperandrogenism and highlights diagnostic challenges, reporting no new clinical results.

This study reports that hydrocortisone ointment significantly improved eyebrow erythema and hair growth in a 10-year-old with ulerythema ophryogenes.

This study observed that 5α‐dihydrotestosterone increased pigmentation in certain skin areas of male Syrian hamsters, while estradiol decreased melanocyte numbers and counteracted the androgen-induced pigmentation effects.

This case report describes a patient with corticosteroid-resistant ophiasis alopecia areata who experienced prompt hair regrowth after receiving platelet-rich plasma injections.

This study found that medroxyprogesterone acetate and ethinyl estradiol with drospirenone were the most frequently prescribed medications for PCOS, with some patients experiencing drug changes or discontinuation due to side effects or therapeutic failure.

The study found that ondansetron decreased alcohol consumption only in adult rats that experienced altered neuroactive steroid levels from early post-natal finasteride exposure, suggesting increased 5HT3 receptor sensitivity in these rats.

This case report suggests that clomiphene citrate can effectively restore fertility in some men with a long history of anabolic steroid abuse, though individual responses to treatment vary.

This study found that women with PCOS have higher follicular fluid levels of testosterone and IL-6, despite similar NEFA levels to non-PCOS women, suggesting increased lipotoxicity impact on androgenesis in PCOS.

This study found that deoxycorticosterone-derived neurosteroids modulate GABA A receptor function and may influence stress-induced changes in seizure susceptibility by elevating seizure thresholds in animal models.

This study found that the compound 9,11-dehydrocortexolone 17alpha-butyrate (CB-03-04) showed strong local antiandrogenic activity in animal models, suggesting potential for treating prostate conditions.

This study found that low-dose methotrexate significantly reduced the steroid requirement in subjects with corticosteroid-requiring asthma without altering their clinical status or causing significant complications.

This study found that altering Allopregnanolone levels in neonatal rats affects their adult exploratory and anxiety-like behaviors and impairs avoidance learning.

This study found that several synthesized pregnane derivatives exhibited significant inhibitory effects on testosterone conversion to dihydrotestosterone and reduced related androgenic parameters in multiple pharmacological models.

This study observed that chemically-induced intersex frogs displayed altered brain mRNA profiles, with finasteride increasing certain hormone-related gene expressions and fadrozole reducing aromatase activity without affecting gene transcript levels.

This case report describes a 61-year-old female with hyperandrogenic symptoms, where an ovarian hemangioma with stromal luteinization was identified and surgically removed, resulting in improved symptoms.

This review discusses AMH and ovarian morphology as complementary markers in diagnosing PCOS/PMOS and reports no new clinical results, highlighting the need for a multidomain approach in diagnosis and treatment.

In this observational study, researchers found that mini-pulse oral corticosteroids effectively reduced hair loss in alopecia areata patients who did not respond to topical therapies, though early-onset patients and those with hypothyroidism were less likely to benefit.

This study found that men with early-onset androgenetic alopecia and certain risk factors may have worse gonadal steroidogenesis and an increased likelihood of developing gonadal dysfunction, suggesting a male equivalent of polycystic ovarian syndrome.

This study found that while the steroid mechanisms influencing androgenetic alopecia may be similar for men and women, differences in enzyme activity and receptor content could explain their varied clinical presentations.

In this retrospective pharmacovigilance study, researchers analyzed over 7,900 adverse event reports related to aromatase inhibitors, identifying common side effects and toxicological mechanisms to highlight potential safety concerns in treating postmenopausal hormone receptor-positive breast cancer.

This study found that anovulatory PCOS patients were younger, had longer menstrual cycles, and higher systolic blood pressures compared to ovulatory patients.

In this study, researchers observed that Centratherum anthelminticum seed extract effectively reduced cholesterol, triglycerides, insulin resistance, and inflammatory markers, while normalizing hormone levels and oxidative stress markers in rodents with PCOS, suggesting potential benefits for managing the condition.

This study found that 11α-hydroxyprogesterone is a potent inhibitor of 11βHSD2 in vitro and may serve as a precursor to unique C11α-hydroxy steroids in prostate cancer tissue.

This report presents a rare case of suspected 3β HSD deficiency in an adult female with symptoms like male pattern hair loss and low testosterone, suggesting a non-classical presentation.

This in vitro study found sex chromosome differences affect steroidogenic enzyme activity and androgen receptor expression in human skeletal muscle cells, showing varied responses to testosterone exposure between 46XY and 46XX cells.

This case report found that a dog's progressive alopecia and prostatitis were caused by ingesting a transdermal estradiol cream, emphasizing the need to identify exogenous estrogen sources during evaluation.
