This study examined the effects of finasteride on human Leydig cells and found altered methylation in dopaminergic pathways, suggesting potential epigenetic contributions to post-finasteride syndrome, warranting further investigation.

This study found a significant association between patients' sex of rearing and external genitalia in those with gonadal dysgenesis, while noting lower testosterone levels compared to controls.

This article reviews finasteride's potential side effects, notably post-finasteride syndrome, and suggests that hand preference and sexual orientation might predict these adverse effects, but it reports no clinical results.

In this study, among 58 girls diagnosed with isosexual precocious puberty, 5.2% had family histories of sexual precocity, indicating familial patterns may be more common than previously thought.

This case report discusses the intertwined nature of eating disorders and gender dysphoria in a patient, suggesting that ED symptoms in individuals with GD might act as a strategy to cope with biological sex traits.

This study found that a genetic variation in SRD5A2 influences the severity of PTSD symptoms in a sex-specific manner among traumatized African-American males.

This review examines how genetic variants associated with polycystic ovary syndrome affect reproductive success differently in men and women, supporting the theory that intralocus sexual conflict may explain its persistence.

This review discusses the potential for hand preference and sexual orientation to predict sexual side effects of finasteride in men with androgenic alopecia, but reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the role of neuro(active)steroids, particularly those in the 5α reductase pathway, in modulating dopamine signaling and their impact on neuropsychiatric disorders characterized by dopamine imbalances, including addiction, schizophrenia, and Parkinson's Disease.

This paper discusses the potential relationship between finasteride's adverse effects and factors like hand preference and sexual orientation, suggesting these could influence risk in male androgenic alopecia treatment, but reports no new clinical results.

In this study on male rats, parachlorophenylalanine treatment induced hypersexual behavior and hair loss linked to increased social interaction but had no effect on brain serotonin when testosterone was used instead.

This study reported that prenatal exposure to dihydrotestosterone altered long-term androgen metabolism in juvenile male rats, suggesting different regulatory mechanisms for 5a-reductase in hypothalamic versus pituitary tissues.

This study found that androgen is essential for erectile function in rats, and suggests that its effects may be partly mediated through nitric oxide synthase positive neurons in the medial preoptic area.

This article reviews the genetic mutations causing male pseudohermaphroditism from 17 beta-HSD-3 and 5 alpha-RD-2 deficiencies and reports no new clinical findings.

In this study, finasteride reduced the severity of dopaminergic behavior manifestations in rats without causing extrapyramidal side effects, unlike other antidopaminergic agents.

This study found that finasteride significantly reduced dihydrotestosterone levels but did not provide clear evidence of impaired libido or erectile function compared to placebo in men.

This review proposes focusing on relationships between neuroactive steroids and psychiatric disorder symptoms, rather than relying on traditional disorder classifications, and reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that sexual trauma, particularly occurring between ages 5-7, was significantly associated with blunted hair cortisol levels, revealing a potential critical developmental stage affecting HPA axis function. No significant link was observed between cortisol reactivity and other adverse childhood experiences or stressors.

This study reported that women with polycystic ovary syndrome had a higher prevalence of impaired glucose tolerance and type 2 diabetes, with variations influenced by ethnicity and obesity.

This commentary discusses the potential use of testosterone therapy for various conditions in women and reports no new clinical results; the authors advocate for more discussion and research in this area.

This case report and review discuss hair-thread tourniquet syndrome in a 14-year-old autistic child, highlighting its rarity and the misconception of it being linked to abuse or socio-cultural practices.

This review discusses the demographic, dermatologic, clinical, and psychodynamic aspects of trichotillomania, exploring its potential link to anxiety but reports no new clinical findings.

This review discusses the etiology, diagnosis, and management strategies for hirsutism, noting that serious underlying disorders are rare and emphasizing targeted treatment to manage testosterone's effects.

This case report identifies a novel association between Graham Little–Piccardi–Lassueur syndrome and complete androgen insensitivity syndrome, suggesting the influence of androgens in the alopecias accompanying the former may be limited.

This study found no significant difference in polycystic ovary syndrome prevalence between lesbian and heterosexual women seeking artificial insemination, nor in their fertility rates.

This article reports a case of a 14-month-old child with a constriction ring syndrome caused by tightly wrapped hair, highlighting the importance of early recognition and treatment to prevent serious complications.

This review discusses the efficacy and safety of oral finasteride for treating male pattern baldness and the potential persistent side effects, but no new results are reported.

This cross-sectional study reported that adults with greater hair loss severity had significantly higher odds of hypertension, diabetes, and cardiometabolic multimorbidity, suggesting a possible link between hair loss and cardiometabolic health.
