This review examines the role of androgens in cutaneous disorders and the potential therapeutic effects of different oral contraceptives, noting variations in individual responses and the influence of genetic and local factors but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that women with hyperandrogenic amenorrhea do not show reduced bone mineral density compared to controls, indicating they may be protected from osteopenia.

This study observed that men receiving dutasteride for benign prostatic hyperplasia did not show significant differences in neuropsychological assessments compared to a control group not on dutasteride.

This review summarized existing research on finasteride and erectile dysfunction, finding a correlation between finasteride use for benign prostatic hyperplasia and ED, but not strongly for male androgenetic alopecia.

This study found that long-term finasteride therapy in men with BPH worsened erectile dysfunction and reduced testosterone levels, while these effects were not observed with tamsulosin.

This study found that 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor monotherapy for symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia showed some clinical benefit over placebo but was linked to a higher incidence of sexual side effects.

This study suggests that moderate elevated prolactin levels are unlikely to cause significant hair loss in women, but still warrant further diagnostic investigation to rule out a prolactin-producing pituitary tumor.

This paper discusses the need for a standardized classification and meta-analysis of treatments for hypopigmented disorders and reports no new clinical results.

This study found that sex differences in somatostatin biosynthesis in rat hypothalamic neurons develop between postnatal day 1 and 5, influenced by the conversion of testosterone to estrogen.

This study observed that electro-acupuncture reduced global DNA methylation and DNMT3b expression in a PCOS-like rat model, suggesting a role of hypothalamic DNA methylation in PCOS development and treatment.

In this study, the authors observed that testosterone therapy shortened the QTc interval and normalized T-wave morphology in men with acquired LQTS or TdP linked to hypogonadism, suggesting testosterone may be helpful in treatment.

This study found that obese Taiwanese women had a lower incidence of acne than non-obese women, despite having higher serum testosterone levels.

This study determined that the upper normal cut-off levels for free testosterone, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate, and total testosterone among reproductive-age women in China are 26 pmol/L, 4.92 μmol/L, and 2.39 nmol/L, respectively.

This report advances the hypothesis that finasteride and dutasteride inhibit 5α-reductase activities, potentially altering steroid metabolism and increasing the risk of insulin resistance, diabetes, and vascular disease.

This review discusses the evaluation of hyperandrogenemia in women and hypogonadism in men across different life stages and presents biomarkers used for diagnosing male hypogonadism, reporting no new clinical results.

A new mutation in the HR gene causes hair loss in a specific family.

This study found that in women with PCOS, suppressive therapy using spironolactone plus oral contraceptives improved hirsutism more effectively than either treatment alone, with initial scores predicting success.

This study found that minoxidil effectively reduced blood pressure in patients with severe hypertension and renal failure resistant to conventional drugs, though side effects like hirsutism and edema were common.

This review highlights that Cyproterone acetate combined with ethinylestradiol is highly effective for treating severe acne and hirsutism in women with hyperandrogenism, and it also provides benefits for cycle control and mood improvement, according to the analysis of 78 studies.

This study found that a genetic deletion causing truncated desmoglein 3 protein in mice led to severe pathologies, including cyclic hair loss and immunodeficiency, suggesting possible implications for human desmosome-related diseases.

In this study, researchers found that androgen receptor gene polymorphism is associated with higher androgenetic alopecia grades and PSA levels in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia, but not with prostate cancer.

This review discusses the etiology and clinical findings of atypical hyperadrenocorticism in dogs due to sex steroid imbalance and explores various treatment options, but reports no new results.

This study found that stress hormones, particularly CRF, can inhibit hair growth and induce hair loss by affecting human dermal papilla cells and hair follicles, suggesting a functional HPA axis in these cells.

This article reviews the psychological impact of hirsutism, particularly its prevalence among women, and provides no new clinical findings.

This study found that KH053, combining Panax ginseng and bee-pollen, significantly reduced prostate weight and DHT levels, inhibiting BPH development in a rat model.

This review evaluates therapies for hyperandrogenism, highlighting cyproterone acetate as the preferred treatment due to its potency and tolerability in managing symptoms in women.

In this study, whole-genome sequencing of Lanping black-boned sheep identified ERBB4 and ROR1 genes as potentially important in their distinctive hyperpigmentation, enhancing understanding of their genetic evolution from Lanping normal sheep.

This study found that ginger supplementation significantly improved persistent hypothyroid symptoms and may aid in weight and lipid profile management in hypothyroid patients with normal TSH levels.

This study found that Bazhengsan significantly reduced inflammation and hyperplasia in male rats with nonbacterial prostatitis, indicating potential as a treatment for chronic prostatitis.

This review examines existing research on transdermal testosterone for treating hypoactive sexual desire disorder, suggesting it improves female sexual function with minimal side effects but highlights the need for more long-term safety data.
