TR3 is mainly found in hair follicle stem cells and may be involved in hair loss.

This review discusses the range of long-term complications, including mucocutaneous, ocular, and psychological sequelae, for survivors of Stevens–Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis, but reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses emerging evidence on azathioprine's efficacy and safety for severe alopecia areata, reporting sustained response in many patients but emphasizing the need for controlled trials.

This article reviews the use of cross-sex hormonal therapy in transmen and reports that it is reasonably safe, suggesting monitoring should be frequent initially but can be less frequent over time.

This review discusses the impact of COVID-19 on the endocrine system and reports no clinical results; the authors emphasize the need to investigate endocrine damage during and after COVID-19 infection.

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.

This review examines the role of androgens and androgen receptors in regulating glucose and lipid metabolism, focusing on their effects on mitochondrial content and function; it also discusses the sex-dimorphic influence of androgens and provides theoretical insights into their mechanisms.

Environmental factors and exposure to toxins may contribute to male infertility by affecting sperm and hormone function.

This article addresses the complexity of treating acne in female-to-male transgender adolescents undergoing testosterone therapy, highlighting concerns about co-administered treatments and their potential risks.

This review discusses the complexities of interpreting thyroid function tests, highlighting the challenges primary care providers face due to patient demand and misinformation, but reports no new results.

This study concluded that among men with normal testosterone levels, a small increase in serum dihydrotestosterone may reduce symptoms of hypogonadism, suggesting its potential diagnostic use after ruling out hypogonadism.

This study suggested that moxibustion treatment before or at the early stage of diminished ovarian reserve in rats may improve ovarian function by modulating androgen balance, though its effects differ across intervention timings.

This study found that Origanum vulgare extract improved testicular structure and function in mice against finasteride-induced damage by enhancing antioxidant defense and modulating gene expression related to apoptosis.

This study found that finasteride effectively prevented testosterone-induced kidney stone formation in renal tubular cells by reducing COM crystal adhesion and crystallization.

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.

In this study, a plasma-fluorescent corticoid test effectively differentiated patients with adrenal insufficiency from those with normal adrenal function based on their response to corticotropin.

In this study, the ethanol extract of Zapoteca portoricensis stem significantly reduced markers of testosterone-induced benign prostate hyperplasia in male albino rats without harming liver and kidney function.

This study found that finasteride treatment of male rats led to changes in their male offspring's testicular gene expression, potentially affecting sperm function in response to odorant-like signals.

This study found that COVID-19 infection disrupts spermatogenesis, alters testicular cell populations, and may impact male fertility by causing long-term changes in testicular function and reduced sperm quality, as observed even in patients who have recovered from the acute phase of the infection.

In this study conducted on Iraqi individuals with celiac disease not on a gluten-free diet, researchers observed elevated serum urea and creatinine levels, which may indicate an increased risk of renal dysfunction, alongside decreased magnesium, zinc, and vitamin C compared to healthy controls.

This retrospective study found that juvenile alopecia areata is more severe and has a worse prognosis than maturity-onset alopecia areata.

This retrospective study in a tertiary hair clinic concluded that routine monitoring of heart rate, weight, liver, and kidney function is not necessary for asymptomatic patients with normal baseline values undergoing low-dose oral minoxidil treatment, although monitoring is advised for those with preexisting renal impairment.

This case study reports a rare presentation of cutaneous sarcoidosis on the scalp, evidenced by scarring alopecia linked to non-caseating granulomas in a 48-year-old female with uveitis.

This document discusses the British Association of Dermatologists' current perspective on isotretinoin, focusing on its known side effects, prescribing requirements, teratogenic risks, and the contentious link to mood changes, reporting no new research findings.

This study found that Origanum vulgare extract significantly ameliorated finasteride-induced liver and kidney damage in mice by improving biochemical indices, reducing inflammation, and enhancing antioxidant status in a dose-dependent manner.

In this study, the authors reported that taking 20 mg or more of biotin can interfere with thyroid function tests, potentially leading to false diagnoses of conditions like Grave's disease.

This review describes how liver and kidney diseases and diabetes may affect ethyl glucuronide levels in hair, impacting forensic and clinical interpretations, but reports no new experimental results.

In this study, metformin was found to reduce prolactin levels in men with hyperprolactinemia and normal hair growth but not in those with androgenic alopecia, suggesting that androgen excess may interfere with metformin's effects on prolactin.

This study found that reduced plasma DIAPH1 levels were associated with polycystic ovary syndrome, suggesting DIAPH1 as a potential predictive factor for the condition.

This review discusses the roles of androgens and estrogens in skin functions and disorders, and highlights the use of estrogen-progestin treatments and anti-androgens in managing hirsutism and acne, without reporting new results.
