This study found that older age at puberty may be associated with lower semen quality and altered reproductive hormone levels in young men, though only some results were statistically significant.

This article presents a case of 5-alpha-reductase deficiency in a Saudi individual, reporting no new research findings.

In this study on mouse preputial glands, suppressing ATG7-dependent autophagy delayed age-related changes, affected lipid metabolism, and reduced pheromone production, highlighting autophagy's roles in glandular homeostasis and cell breakdown.

Male infertility and genitourinary birth defects are often linked to genetic issues.

This review details the prevalence and management of ejaculatory disorders in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia-related urinary symptoms and highlights the importance of preserving peri-montanal tissue during treatment to maintain antegrade ejaculation.

In this case study, researchers observed that steroidogenesis from adrenal androgens in prostate cancer tissues may explain progression in a 74-year-old man with low circulating testosterone.

This study found that castration increased 5 alpha-reductase activity in the sebaceous glands of male hamsters, but administering testosterone propionate or 5 alpha-dihydrotestosterone inhibited this effect.

This rat study suggests that 5α-dihydrotestosterone plays a critical role in inhibiting nipple development in male fetuses by causing the regression of the nipple anlage in utero.

This retrospective study observed no significant difference in the prevalence of incidental prostate cancer between suprapubic prostatectomy and transurethral prostate resection groups, with most tumors being well differentiated and early-stage.

This study observed that mouse preputial glands share general characteristics with rat glands but differ in their intimate association with a hair follicle and absence of proteinaceous granules.

This article discusses congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21 hydroxylase deficiency as a cause of ambiguous genitals in 46XX individuals and reports no new research findings.

This review discusses the clinical manifestations and diagnostic challenges of polycystic ovary syndrome in adolescents, emphasizing the importance of early diagnosis and intervention to manage symptoms effectively, but it reports no new clinical results.

In this study, Paljeong-san pharmacopuncture reduced dihydrotestosterone levels and inhibited prostate tissue proliferation in a rat model of benign prostatic hyperplasia.

This study found that hypospadias in male children is significantly associated with genetic polymorphisms in the Steroid 5 alpha reductase type 2 gene, higher parental age, consanguinity, rural residence, and preterm labor, with maternal age and rural residence being the strongest independent predictors.

This study found that penile and clitoral differentiation in mice is influenced by androgen exposure, with penile features developing postnatally requiring prenatal and ongoing androgen presence.

This case study reported a 34-year-old woman presenting with secondary amenorrhea, hirsutism, and obesity showed elevated testosterone and anti-Müllerian hormone levels, leading to the exclusion of nonclassical congenital adrenal hyperplasia as a diagnosis.

This review discusses diagnostic and management challenges of polycystic ovary syndrome in children and adolescents and reports no new clinical results; it emphasizes early intervention when a provisional diagnosis is suspected.

This study describes Pseudopelade of Brocq as a rare and enigmatic scarring alopecia characterized by irregular hair loss patterns on the scalp, requiring exclusion of other conditions like lichen planopilaris and discoid lupus erythematosus for a specific diagnosis.

The researchers reported that pubic hair transplantation surgery may help improve self-esteem in women with pubic atrichosis or hypotrichosis by achieving natural and realistic-looking results.

In this study conducted among healthy Iranian girls in Isfahan province, researchers found that the median onset age for menstruation was 12.05 years, breast development began at 9.89 years, and pubic hair development started at 10.14 years, with earlier puberty onset potentially indicating precocious puberty.

This case report describes an 8-year-old child with penile tourniquet syndrome due to a constricting thread, which led to partial distal penile amputation and required surgical intervention.

This study suggests that genetic factors significantly influence adrenal androgen levels and the progression of puberty, with adrenal cortex maturation appearing independent of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis.

This report describes a 19-year-old male with 49,XXXXY syndrome receiving testosterone replacement therapy, which led to improvements in reproductive development, metabolism, and social interaction after a year of treatment.

This study found that prenatal antiandrogen treatment in female spotted hyenas significantly altered the LH response to GnRH, indicating partial masculinization of their anterior pituitary gland without affecting ovulatory function.

This case report documents the first known instance of an ectopic sebaceous gland and duct within a hair follicle in a 21-year-old male with persistent acneiform eruption.

The side gland of Suncus murinus is a good model for studying human sebaceous glands.

This case report describes a 6 1/2-year-old girl with significant height growth and early pubic hair development.

This study suggests that patients with STSD show a different pattern in androgen activation compared to healthy controls, potentially due to increased 5α-reductase activity and absent prepubertal serum DHEA surge.
