research Hormonal Therapy for Acne: Why Not as First Line Therapy? Facts and Controversies
Hormonal treatments can help with acne but are not the first choice due to side effects and the need for careful patient selection.
research A Randomized Trial of Oral DHEA Treatment for Sexual Function, Well-Being, and Menopausal Symptoms in Postmenopausal Women with Low Libido
DHEA did not improve sexual function, well-being, or menopausal symptoms in postmenopausal women with low libido but caused side effects like acne and increased facial hair.
research The Therapeutic Use of Androgens in Women
Testosterone replacement may improve sexual desire and bone health in women with low androgen levels, but more research is needed on its long-term safety.
research Female Androgenic Alopecia
Women with low SHBG levels and a high 3a-diol G to SHBG ratio are likely to experience female pattern baldness, possibly due to a slight excess of androgens affecting sensitive hair bulbs.
research Evaluation of the Relationship Between Androgenetic Alopecia and Blood Groups and Rhesus Factor
No link between hair loss and blood groups or Rhesus factor.
research Testosterone Levels in Relation to Oral Contraceptive Use and the Androgen Receptor CAG and GGC Length Polymorphisms in Healthy Young Women
Oral contraceptives lower testosterone levels in women, especially those with certain genetic traits, and may be linked to increased breast cancer risk.
research Use of Metformin in Pediatric Age
Metformin helps manage diabetes, PCOS, and weight in kids but needs more research for long-term safety.
research A Comparison of the Hormonal Profile of Early Androgenetic Alopecia in Men With the Phenotypic Equivalent of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome in Women
Men with early hair loss have similar hormone levels to women with PCOS, possibly increasing risk of obesity and heart issues.
research Androgen Metabolism in Hirsute Patients Treated with Cyproterone Acetate
Cyproterone acetate effectively reduced hair growth in hirsute patients by lowering androgen levels and altering androgen metabolism.
research Androgens and the Menopause
Testosterone replacement may help postmenopausal women with sexual function and bone density, but suitable treatments are limited.
research Placental mRNA Expression of Neurokinin B Is Increased in PCOS Pregnancies with Female Offspring
Pregnant women with PCOS have higher levels of Neurokinin B in the placenta, especially with female babies.
research Comparison of Finasteride, Metformin, and Finasteride Plus Metformin in PCOS

research Prostate Specific Antigen as a Predictive Factor for Androgenemia in Women
PSA can help diagnose high androgen levels in women.
research An Approach to the Patient With Hirsutism
Most women with hirsutism have normal hormone levels and can be treated with cosmetic methods; obesity and PCOS are common causes, and treatments depend on the underlying issue.
research Impact of Androgen Status and Anti-Androgen Therapy on the Course of COVID-19 in Men
Men with higher androgen levels may have severe COVID-19 symptoms, but those on antiandrogen therapy are less likely to contract the virus and have milder symptoms. Anti-androgen drugs could potentially treat COVID-19, but more research is needed.
