Finasteride increases hair growth, prolongs hair cycle, and lowers dihydrotestosterone levels.

This article reviews the limited evidence on testosterone therapy for premenopausal women and notes a lack of long-term safety and effectiveness data for this population.

In this study, co-administration of finasteride with oral testosterone undecanoate in young men with induced hypogonadism had no significant effect on serum testosterone or dihydrotestosterone levels, likely due to TU's unique absorption route.

This study found that a 400-mg dose of oral testosterone with dutasteride increases serum testosterone levels for 8–10 hours in hypogonadal men, with the nanomilled formulation unaffected by food, suggesting a practical twice-daily therapy option.

This study found that the total testosterone/dihydrotestosterone ratio correlates with a negative metabolic profile in both women with PCOS and healthy women.

This article reviews the skin changes during pregnancy, categorizing them by their relation to pregnancy and highlighting cosmetic concerns, but reports no new results.

This study reported that derivatization with 5-butylpicolinic acid improved the sensitivity for detecting testosterone and DHT in saliva using LC-ESI-MS/MS, with minimal interference from the saliva matrix.

This study found that an oral testosterone formulation normalized serum testosterone levels and significantly reduced SHBG in men with experimentally induced hypogonadism after nine days of treatment, suggesting potential efficacy for testosterone deficiency.

In this study, researchers found an inverse association between baldness and testicular cancer, suggesting androgen activity may influence cancer risk.

In this review and meta-analysis, the authors concluded that 5α-reductase inhibitor therapy is not consistently associated with significant increases in serum testosterone levels in men.

This study found that the petroleum ether extract of Citrullus colocynthis fruit and an isolated steroidal compound may reduce prostatic hyperplasia in rats induced by testosterone, suggesting potential use in managing androgen-dependent conditions.

This study found that a pet ether extract of Daucus carota promoted hair growth by inducing and prolonging the anagen phase in albino rats, surpassing the effects of 1% minoxidil.

This study used enhanced Raman spectroscopy to successfully detect ultra-low levels of free testosterone in women with PCOS, suggesting a potential low-cost method for early diagnosis.

This case report highlights a rare occurrence of poorly differentiated endometrial carcinoma in a transgender man undergoing long-term testosterone therapy, underscoring the necessity of continued gynecologic care and further research into the effects of testosterone on endometrial health in this population.

This narrative review highlights the critical role of intracrine hormone production in peripheral tissues, suggesting that continuous-release subcutaneous testosterone pellet therapy may offer a more effective symptom-driven approach for aging populations, though large-scale randomized controlled trials are needed for confirmation.

This study systematically reviewed the use of topical testosterone products such as creams, gels, and patches, finding they effectively raise serum testosterone but pose significant systemic risks like acne and gynecomastia, necessitating careful medical oversight.

This study explored how long non-coding RNA mediates the effects of FGF5 on the hair follicle development and villus growth of Liaoning cashmere goats.

Minoxidil response testing helps predict hair growth success.

In this study, elevated serum levels of aldosterone and free testosterone, along with increased androgen and aldosterone receptor levels, were associated with early-onset androgenetic alopecia in female patients.

Testicular microlithiasis may increase the risk of testicular cancer and patients with it should be closely monitored.

This study suggests that estimating autism likelihood as early as one month after birth may enable more precise early intervention for children with developmental support needs, potentially improving diagnosis, workflows, and reducing service wait times.

This article suggests that alopecia areata may be an early skin manifestation of hereditary hemochromatosis in individuals predisposed to autoimmunity, recommending iron status evaluation during AA diagnosis; it reports no new clinical results.

This study found that combining cyproterone acetate with testosterone enanthate was highly effective in suppressing spermatogenesis, suggesting potential as a reversible male contraceptive method.

The researchers suggest that testosterone levels might influence COVID-19 susceptibility and severity, with low levels potentially protecting against infection but possibly worsening severe disease due to cytokine storm activation.

This review discusses the effects of testosterone therapy for transgender men, noting desired outcomes and potential risks, but reports no new research findings; the authors highlight a lack of high-quality data due to various study limitations.

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

This review discusses the pathways of androgen biosynthesis and reports no new findings, highlighting the need to understand the interplay between the classic and backdoor pathways.

This study found that Puerariae Flos extract inhibited testosterone 5α-reductase and promoted hair growth in mouse models, suggesting its potential use for treating androgenic alopecia.

In this study, petroleum ether extract of Citrullus colocynthis fruit effectively promoted hair growth in a mouse model of androgen-induced alopecia, showing comparable results to the standard treatment, finasteride.

This article reviews the role of 5α-reductase in cutaneous hyperandrogenism and the potential of 5α-reductase inhibitors and antiandrogens in treating conditions like hirsutism and male-pattern baldness, reporting no clinical results.
