This review discussed the variability in measuring serum testosterone levels and emphasized the need for standardizing testing and sharing updated treatment protocols to manage male hypogonadism effectively. It also highlighted the importance of considering secondary hypogonadism causes and suggested consulting with endocrinologists for optimal management.

In this study, short-term treatment with lovastatin showed no effect on symptom severity, prostate volume, or PSA levels in men with prostatic enlargement from presumed benign prostatic hyperplasia.

This study found that Lespedeza cuneata aqueous extract reduced serum dihydrotestosterone levels and 5α-reductase mRNA expression in testosterone-induced prostatic hyperplasia in rats, suggesting potential as a treatment for prostatic hyperplasia.

This study found that women with polycystic ovary syndrome had deficient or suboptimal serum vitamin D levels, but the effects of vitamin D on metabolic syndrome and hormonal balance remain unclear.

Minoxidil lowers blood pressure effectively but may cause unwanted hair growth and other side effects.

In this study, insulin resistance in polycystic ovary syndrome was highly correlated with unbound testosterone and sex hormone-binding globulin, rather than luteinizing hormone or peripheral androgen metabolism.

This study reports that adipose-derived stem cells can protect against radiation-induced dermatitis in rats by reducing apoptosis through lowering Cathepsin F expression, suggesting a potential new therapeutic approach.

This systematic review found insufficient evidence to support protective effects of selenium on polycystic ovary syndrome complications, despite some studies suggesting it may reduce insulin resistance and dyslipidemia.

This study found that patients with tropical chronic pancreatitis exhibited significantly reduced plasma amino acid levels and antioxidant capacity, with folate deficiency identified as a key factor in hyperhomocysteinemia.

This study found that in patients with genetic generalized epilepsies, certain gene variants were linked to differences in valproic acid treatment outcomes, including a higher likelihood of treatment failure, varying serum drug concentrations, and specific side effects like weight gain and hair loss.

A new method can almost perfectly distinguish adenomyosis from similar conditions using blood tests.

This meta-analysis found that patients with androgenetic alopecia have an atherogenic lipid profile, with higher LDL, triglycerides, and total cholesterol, and lower HDL, potentially explaining increased cardiovascular risk.

This review discusses the hormonal influences on acne's development in women and the therapeutic potential of hormonal treatments, but it reports no new clinical results.

In this study, women with idiopathic hirsutism who took finasteride for 9 months experienced a significant reduction in hirsutism scores compared to those receiving a placebo, with minimal side effects.

This study demonstrates that Puerariae Lobatae Radix may regulate skin lipid metabolism by inhibiting sebaceous gland growth and reducing triglyceride secretion, highlighting its therapeutic potential for sebaceous gland-related conditions.

In this study, a low-methionine diet significantly improved the health and physical traits of cystathionine β-synthase-deficient mice, contrasting with negative effects on mice with partial deficiency.

This study found that prolactin plays a direct role in regulating the timing of hair growth cycles in mice by affecting the skin, rather than through other endocrine factors.

Minoxidil lowers blood pressure effectively but may cause side effects.

This study found that royal jelly may have a cardioprotective effect against paclitaxel-induced damage in rats by reducing oxidative and nitrosative stress, lowering cardiac biomarker levels, and mitigating heart tissue injuries.

This study developed a novel method to simultaneously measure finasteride, dutasteride, and related biomarkers in serum, finding that both drugs lowered DHT levels while increasing substrate concentrations.

This study observed that while betaine supplementation decreases total homocysteine and increases methionine levels in a mouse model of CBS deficiency, it is not as effective as methionine restriction in reversing associated phenotypes.

This study developed a triple drug delivery system using nanoparticles loaded with 5-fluorouracil, curcumin, and piperine to target breast tumors, demonstrating notable in vitro cytotoxicity and anti-metastatic potential in 3D tumor spheroids which suggests its promise for further preclinical evaluation.

This article reviews the use of finasteride for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia and its chemopreventive potential for prostate cancer, but it calls for further discussion on its preventive use in high-risk groups.

The study observed that Tai Chi and Wuqinxi, when combined with antihypertensive medication, might be particularly effective in lowering systolic and diastolic blood pressure, respectively, suggesting they could be prioritized as treatment options.

This review highlights the potential of anti-inflammatory therapies to reduce major adverse cardiac events in patients with ischemic heart disease, emphasizing that such treatments can be effective even without traditional lipid-lowering strategies.

In this randomized trial, lupus patients taking daily 200 μg selenium supplements for eight weeks showed significant improvements in metabolic markers like CRP, ESR, MDA, and GPX, as well as reduced clinical symptoms such as arthritis and alopecia, compared to those receiving a placebo.

Finasteride lowers PSA levels in men, certain factors increase testicular cancer risk, and current guidelines for penile cancer may lead to unnecessary surgeries.

This review discusses the dermatologic manifestations of hyperandrogenism in women and outlines the diagnostic approach and treatment options, reporting no new clinical results.

This review highlights that idiopathic hirsutism is characterized by local hyperandrogenization affecting hair growth, without other signs of hyperandrogenism, and shows no new results; racial differences in prevalence are noted but not in androgenic steroids.

Hormonal therapy is effective for treating acne in adult women, especially with signs of high androgen levels.
