Betacoronaviruses, like COVID-19, may cause hormone system dysfunction and affect disease susceptibility and severity.

Scientists created iodinated arylhydantoins and arylthiohydantoins that could potentially be used for imaging prostate cancer. Some versions with specific side-chains showed high potential for this use.

Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) stops hair growth in mice by lowering a growth factor important for hair.

Genetic variation in the androgen receptor gene mainly causes early-onset hair loss, with maternal inheritance playing a key role.

Androgen is important in controlling stem cell differentiation, reducing fat development, and increasing lean mass.

Blocking DHT production more strongly may help control advanced prostate cancer and improve quality of life.

Genetics play a role in acne, but how exactly they contribute is not fully understood.

The conclusion suggests that prostate cancer should be classified by castration status and that new therapies targeting androgen receptor signaling show promise.

The study suggests that motor neurons created from stem cells of patients with spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy show signs of the disease, including changes in protein levels and cell functions.

Understanding how androgens work is key for creating new treatments for prostate issues and hair/skin conditions.

Purple sweet potato leaf extracts can help treat hair loss and fungal infections.

Glucocorticoids and sex hormones affect skin health, with potential for targeted treatments to minimize side effects and treat skin conditions.

Testosterone therapy can help improve mood, sexual function, and bone health in women with low androgen levels, but more research is needed to establish safe and effective guidelines.

Using polymeric micelles to deliver spironolactone topically could improve wound healing in skin affected by glucocorticoids.

Surgery to lower high testosterone in postmenopausal women with certain ovarian tumors doesn't significantly affect their metabolism.

Short-term finasteride treatment may lower some cell death factors in prostate cancer cells.

The engineered yeast strain BLYAS can quickly and sensitively detect androgenic chemicals.

Medications for glucose metabolism and weight control, combined therapy options, and herbal medicines may help regulate menstrual cycle in adolescents with PCOS.

PCOS is a hormonal disorder causing symptoms like irregular periods and acne, and increases the risk of diabetes and heart disease.

Blocking androgen activity in newborn rats affects body weight and appetite-related hormones differently in males and females.

Hair diversity is influenced by complex genetics and environmental factors, requiring more research for practical solutions.

The vitamin D receptor is involved in multiple body functions beyond calcium regulation, including immune response and rapid reactions not related to gene activity.

The guidelines advise against using testosterone and DHEA in women for most conditions due to safety and effectiveness concerns, but suggest considering testosterone for postmenopausal women with low sexual desire.

Male hormones, particularly DHT, are linked to male pattern hair loss, and treatments like finasteride can help, but they don't work for postmenopausal women's hair loss, which may have different causes.

New treatments for hair loss show promise, but more research is needed to confirm their safety and effectiveness.

Anti-acne medications may work by reducing the activity of a protein involved in acne development.

The report concludes that PCOS is mainly a condition of excess male hormones and its definition may change as new information is discovered.

Male and female bodies respond differently to stress, influenced by hormones and development stages, with implications for stress-related diseases.

Skin problems in COVID-19 patients are rare and may be due to the body's complex immune response or blood clotting issues.

The conclusion is that genetic changes in the glucocorticoid receptor can lead to conditions affecting stress response, immunity, and metabolism, requiring personalized treatment.
