The document concludes that managing non-classical congenital adrenal hyperplasia in females requires personalized treatment, genetic counseling, and a team of specialists.

Certain HSD3B1 gene types are linked to worse prostate cancer outcomes and affect treatment response and other health conditions.

Hair loss is caused by genetics and hormones, diagnosed through examination and biopsy, and treated with medications or surgery.

Using two drugs together, Flutamide and 4-MA, is more effective for blocking male hormones than using each one alone.

Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is crucial for conditions like male-pattern baldness and acne, and measuring a byproduct, androstanediol glucuronide, is a better way to assess DHT's effects than DHT blood levels.

Epitestosterone may counteract testosterone's effects and has roles in body processes like prostate growth and hair distribution.

Men with early hair loss have similar hormone levels to women with PCOS, possibly increasing risk of obesity and heart issues.

Gene mutations can cause problems in male genital development.

Finasteride helps hair growth and prostate issues but may cause sexual side effects and increase tumor risk.

Plant sterols have health benefits like lowering cholesterol, but more research is needed to understand their effects and improve their extraction and sustainability.

Hormones might affect the skin condition hidradenitis suppurativa, but their exact role is unclear.

Women with PCOS often have hair loss, which is linked to acne or excess body hair but not to worse hormone or metabolic issues.

The new test can measure very small amounts of testosterone in hair, and grinding the hair up first gives more accurate results.

Metformin works better for adolescent girls with PCOS who have certain genetic variations.

Metformin lowers prolactin in women without PCOS but not in those with PCOS, where it reduces other hormones instead.

New genes and pathways are important for testosterone production and male sexual development.

A woman developed male traits from accidental contact with her husband's testosterone gel.

Finasteride, a drug used for certain conditions, can cause serious side effects like sexual dysfunction, suicidal thoughts, and increased diabetes risk, and there's a need for more awareness and research about these effects.

Androgens and a high-fat diet may increase the risk of severe COVID-19 in women with PCOS by upregulating certain proteins in the heart and kidneys.

Diagnosing and managing Glucocorticoid Resistance Syndrome is complex due to genetic differences and varied symptoms.

Androgen excess disorders in women were effectively treated with spironolactone, estrogen, and dexamethasone.

The document concluded that more research is needed to understand how estrogen affects the enzyme involved in hirsutism development.

Rare adrenal cancers that secrete androgens or estrogens have a poor prognosis and are treated primarily with surgery.

The compounds tested could potentially treat hair loss and alopecia.

DHT, a testosterone byproduct, causes male pattern baldness.

Mutations in the NR3C1 gene cause a rare condition that affects hormone signaling and can lead to various symptoms, with dexamethasone as a treatment option.

The document concludes that the 5 alpha-reductase enzymes are important in steroid metabolism and related to various human diseases, with inhibitors used to treat conditions like male pattern baldness and prostate issues.

Finasteride inhibits enzyme activity in rhesus macaques, suggesting they're useful for evaluating similar drugs.

The conclusion is that managing androgen excess requires long-term treatment, including hormonal contraceptives and androgen blockers, with follow-up after six months.

The document concludes that managing health issues like menopause, cardiovascular risk, and hair loss is crucial for promoting longevity in aging women.
