This study observed no teratogenic effects of oral decongestants and surprisingly favorable neonatal outcomes in Swedish women who used them during pregnancy.

This study found that young women with PCOS exhibited altered white matter microstructure and reduced cognitive performance compared to matched controls.

This article discusses the interactions between keratinocytes and melanocytes in maintaining epidermal and hair follicle homeostasis, without reporting new experimental results.

This review discusses the embryology, structure, and function of sebaceous glands and their involvement in skin disorders but reports no novel findings.

This study found that serum steroid profiling, particularly 11-deoxycortisol, can effectively differentiate between ACC and ACA, while considering sex differences and functional status for other steroids is important.

This study observed that lifestyle modifications resulting in weight loss improved menstrual irregularity and hormonal balance among infertile obese women with polycystic ovary syndrome, although changes in total testosterone and estrone were not significant.

This study found that AtT-20 pituitary cells with higher cAMP-dependent kinase activity had larger calcium currents and significantly increased beta-endorphin release compared to cells with lower kinase activity.

This review discusses the neurobiology of sexual function and reports no new results; the authors cover multiple endocrine and neurotransmitter influences on sexual desire, arousal, and orgasm stages.

This study developed a detailed classification system for functional androgenization in females that may enhance diagnosis and personalized treatment by identifying individual dysfunctions.

This study observed that acute stress in rats increased neurosteroid levels linked to enhanced GABA(A) receptor function, raising seizure thresholds, while similar effects were seen in mice with deoxycorticosterone administration.

In this study, T3 and T4 were found to directly influence human hair follicles in vitro, enhancing keratinocyte proliferation, prolonging the hair growth phase, and affecting pigmentation.

Treating sleep apnea in young obese women with PCOS can improve heart health and insulin sensitivity.

This article reviews the reported sexual and psychological side effects of 5-alpha reductase inhibitors for benign prostatic hyperplasia, emphasizing the need for further clinical studies.

Fibroblasts can be turned into melanocytes for potential skin treatments.

This study found that inhaled fluticasone for 11 months did not adversely affect the immune function or response to vaccination in horses with heaves.

This review examined studies on erectile dysfunction and 5 alpha-reductase inhibitors, concluding that these drugs do not significantly cause erectile dysfunction and emphasizing testosterone's importance over dihydrotestosterone in erectile function.

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.

In this pilot study, finasteride increased testosterone/dihydrotestosterone and progesterone/dihydroprogesterone ratios in normal ovulatory women but did not alter ovulation or gonadotropin secretion.

This review discusses the impact of hormones on female sexual function and dysfunction, highlighting the complexity and gaps in basic research, and reports no new clinical findings.

This review summarizes the bioactive compounds and pharmacological functions of Cynomorium songaricum Rupr., emphasizing its potential in developing health-related products, and notes that further research is needed.

This study explored the structure and function of lipocalin prostaglandin D synthase, revealing its dual role in substrate catalysis and as a lipophilic ligand carrier, potentially informing future drug delivery design.

This review discusses the roles of the hairless (HR) protein as a corepressor, particularly its impact on RORα-mediated transcriptional repression, and reports no new experimental findings.

This review discusses the protective and stress-buffering roles of melatonin in skin functions and structures but does not present new clinical findings.

This study observed that the ethyl acetate extract of Equisetum debile showed high activity against 5α-reductase and lipid peroxidation with no cytotoxicity on dermal papilla cells.

This study identified the Hairless (Hr) gene-encoded protein as a corepressor that plays a crucial role in maintaining skin and hair by regulating epithelial stem cell differentiation and gene expression via chromatin remodeling, which may impact both development and disease.

In this study, the aqueous extract from Phthirusa pyrifolia leaves significantly decreased testosterone levels in male Wistar rats without causing liver or kidney damage, suggesting potential effects on libido and reproduction.

This study suggests that fibroblast growth factors exhibit significant expression differences in rodent and primate skin, potentially related to their evolutionary paths and environmental adaptations.

In this study, homozygous VDR null mutant mice exhibited nonfunctional vitamin D receptors, leading to growth abnormalities and revealing the limited physiological importance of vitamin D pathways outside the classical receptor.

This study found that hair follicles in both mice and humans may serve as an important site for melatonin synthesis and signaling, potentially influencing hair cycle regulation by modulating keratinocyte apoptosis.

This review discusses the known effects of medications for benign prostatic hyperplasia on sexual function and mechanisms of dysfunction but reports no new clinical results.
