This review discusses the relationship between physical activity and skin aging, highlighting that regular moderate exercise may benefit skin health but excessive exercise could increase oxidative stress and damage.

This case report describes a 17-year-old boy with obesity who was diagnosed with severe hypothyroidism, leading to myopathy, rhabdomyolysis, acute kidney injury, and bradycardia. Following treatment with IV levothyroxine and liothyronine, his symptoms improved, and he achieved significant weight loss over five months.

This study indicated that while testosterone replacement in older men with low testosterone increases muscle mass and strength and reduces fat, its effects on physical function, disability, falls, or fractures remain unclear.

This study found that wedelolactone from Eclipta prostrata L. significantly reduced lung inflammation and fibrosis in mice with bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis, suggesting potential therapeutic benefits through AMPK activation.

Nitrendipine and nifedipine effectively block muscle contractions, while papaverine relaxes them and minoxidil needs high amounts to work.

This review discusses the multifaceted role of vitamin D in the body, noting its influence on calcium balance, hair cycle maintenance, cell proliferation, cardiovascular function, and immune modulation, with no new clinical results reported.

This study found that structural changes in the stroma surrounding hair follicles and skin laxity are associated with the appearance of large pores, regardless of ethnicity or age.

This correspondence reports the case of a young woman with severe lipid storage myopathy due to a rare mutation, who showed significant temporary improvement with plasmapheresis and immunoglobulin treatment before stabilizing with riboflavin and coenzyme Q10 supplementation, challenging the initial assumption of an immune-mediated condition.

This study reviews progress in understanding how redesigned lipid metabolism supports energy production and treatment resistance in advanced carcinomas, highlighting a hypothesis supported by preclinical and clinical evidence and suggesting potential clinical targeting of resistance mechanisms.

This study found that far-infrared radiation preconditioning significantly enhanced the proliferation, survival, and migration of bone marrow-derived stem cells in vitro, indicating potential therapeutic benefits for cardiac ischemia treatment.

This study found that doxorubicin-induced oxidative stress downregulates FLIPs and phosphorylates EF2, sensitizing prostate cancer cells to TRAIL; antioxidants may reduce doxorubicin's effectiveness, warranting further investigation.

In this study, the combination of exercise and finasteride improved ovarian morphology and hormone levels in rats with polycystic ovary syndrome more effectively than either treatment alone.

In this study on mice, intensive stress through methods like resiniferatoxin injections and physical restraint was found to inhibit hair follicle growth, with the mechanism involving the sympathetic nervous system and the cAMP signaling pathway in hair follicle stem cells.

In this study, ELE was found to protect against oxidative stress-induced testosterone reduction in TM3 Leydig cells by increasing testosterone synthesis and decreasing its conversion.

In this study, researchers found that pregnant mice exposed to excessive androgen led to thinner ventricular walls and cardiac hypertrophy in offspring, suggesting that prenatal androgen exposure adversely affects cardiac health through reduced cardiomyocyte proliferation.

This case report describes a Japanese man with severe COVID-19 who regained independence and returned to work after undergoing rehabilitation therapy, highlighting its potential benefits for recovery.

This abstract discusses the unclear role of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in postembryonic life in marsupials and possibly humans, reporting no new findings.

This review found that 5α‐reductase inhibitors were associated with slightly increased rates of decreased libido, erectile and ejaculatory dysfunction, gynecomastia, and mood disorders compared to placebo, though their long-term effects remain unclear.

This case report describes a man diagnosed with Hoffman syndrome, characterized by muscle hypertrophy and weakness due to severe hypothyroidism, who had an excellent response to thyroid hormone replacement.

This narrative review explores how exercise might help maintain skin homeostasis disrupted by protein deficiency, potentially by promoting processes like increased collagen synthesis and stimulating anti-inflammatory effects, though the exact mechanisms are not entirely understood.

In this study, TENS of the T6 dermatome over a longer term was explored for its effects on weight, blood pressure, heart rate, and appetite-regulating hormones in obese subjects with moderate obstructive sleep apnea; however, results are not reported in the abstract.

This study found that inhibiting the Mitochondrial Pyruvate Carrier in human scalp hair follicles caused metabolic stress that halted cell proliferation and disrupted key signaling pathways, with these effects partially reversed by an integrated stress response inhibitor.

This study found that in women with polycystic ovary syndrome, a pulse-based diet was more effective than the TLC diet at improving insulin sensitivity and cardiometabolic risk factors, although both diets improved PCOS-specific health outcomes.

This study observed that inhibiting androgenic activity during early postnatal development significantly decreased body weight in female rats by day 90, while affecting food intake and fat distribution in both sexes based on the inhibited testosterone metabolic pathway.

This case report describes a 70-year-old woman with pituitary resistance to thyroid hormone (PRTH) misdiagnosed as Graves disease, highlighting diagnostic challenges in managing this rare disorder.

Aging weakens sweat glands due to reduced support from immune cells, but treatments may help restore function.

This study found that fibroblasts from Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy patients with certain genetic mutations overexpress markers of fibrosis, and gene correction techniques reduced fibrogenic molecule expression in cell models, suggesting potential therapeutic applications.

This review concluded that corticosteroids improve muscle strength and function in boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy over short-term periods, but evidence on prolonging walking ability remains insufficient, and side effects are common.
