This review discusses the crucial role of sex hormones in maintaining and influencing skin health, suggesting ongoing research into hormonal treatments for skin conditions due to life stage changes.

This study found that oral contraceptive pills containing cyproterone acetate and drospirenone were more effective at reducing hirsutism in women with PCOS than those containing levonorgestrel over a 6-month period.

This randomized clinical trial found that oral contraceptives containing desogestrel were associated with more adverse effects on serum lipids and blood pressure compared to those containing drospirenone in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome.

This source outlines various antiandrogen and androgen inhibitor drugs used to treat cutaneous disorders of hyperandrogenism, detailing their mechanisms, uses, dosages, and side effects, with emphasis on spironolactone, finasteride, dutasteride, and oral contraceptives.

This study described clinical manifestations such as alopecia and hyperpigmentation in male dogs with hypoandrogenism, suggesting a need for further research on these endocrinopathies in animals.

This study suggests that the adrenal gland may contribute to prostate cancer treatment resistance and indicates potential steroid production or dependency in ovarian cancer.

Hormonal treatments can help with hair loss, acne, and excess hair growth, but it takes 3-6 months to see results and patients should know the possible side effects.

Hormonal contraceptives are effective for teens but require careful consideration of side effects and individual health.

This article reviews the challenges and importance of diagnosing and managing PCOS, especially in adolescent girls, and reports no new clinical findings; the authors emphasize early intervention.

Birth control pills help treat acne, especially when caused by excess male hormones, and are safe to use with antibiotics.

This review discusses concerns about persistent side effects of finasteride, such as sexual dysfunction and suicidal ideation, urging the medical community to recognize and address these issues.

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.

In this study, withdrawal from progesterone and treatment with finasteride were associated with increased signs of depression-like behavior in female mice, suggesting decreased allopregnanolone levels may play a role.

This study found that progesterone pretreatment in rats potentiated the effect of ethanol on mesocortical dopamine levels, suggesting an influence of neuroactive steroids on ethanol's action.

The new compounds may be more effective and cheaper than current treatments for conditions like baldness.

This article reviews the skin changes that can occur with hormonal contraceptive use and highlights various mechanisms and potential treatment strategies but reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses non-oral hormonal contraceptives and other exogenous steroid hormones, reporting they are generally safe for temporary use in women without breast cancer, but data are limited.

This study found that progesterone reduces neuronal injury from tributyltin exposure in rat hippocampal slices through a mechanism dependent on allopregnanolone and GABAA receptors.

This review discusses the 2011 publications on the side effects of sex hormones and related compounds, without reporting new clinical results.

This review discusses the roles of prostaglandins in hair loss and highlights their potential as targets for new alopecia treatments, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study observed that among a cohort of reproductive-aged women in the U.S., the prevalence of PCOS was about 4.0%, with no significant racial differences between White and Black women.

This study found that the prevalence of PCOS in a population of unselected U.S. women was 4.0%, with no significant racial differences between White and Black women.

This review indicates that estrogen loss during menopause significantly impacts skin health, while estrogen treatment may increase skin collagen, thickness, and elasticity, though effects on other skin characteristics are inconsistent.

This study found that testosterone replacement, with or without finasteride, did not lead to significant cognitive improvements over 36 months in healthy older men without prior cognitive impairment.

This study found that acute finasteride treatment decreased ethanol intake in male C57BL/6J mice, whereas chronic treatment showed diminished effects, implying compensatory changes in neurosteroid modulation.

This study found that compliance rates for oral contraceptives are low and similar to those for other medical treatments, indicating a need for alternatives that require less daily adherence.

In this study, both cyproterone acetate-estrogen combination (Diane®) and finasteride were effective in reducing hirsutism, but Diane® showed greater long-term efficacy and cost-effectiveness.

This review discusses idiopathic hirsutism, potential underlying mechanisms, and various therapeutic approaches without providing new clinical results, and emphasizes the need for further research on well-defined patient groups.

This article reviews current osteoporosis treatments, focusing on the potential of selective androgen receptor modulators and other agents to enhance bone formation, but provides no new clinical data.

This review discusses the potential link between long-term transdermal exposure to sex hormones from antiperspirants and increased breast and prostate cancer rates, calling for further research to confirm this theory.
