This mini-review discusses the role of androgens, specifically testosterone and dihydrotestosterone, in the pathogenesis of autoimmune liver diseases and reports no new results.

This study reported that the most common hair loss disorder among children in south-east Nigeria was tinea capitis, and its clinical course was influenced by parental attitudes towards treatment.

This study found that ultraviolet radiation negatively affects hair follicle functions in human scalp skin, and caffeine application may provide some protective effects against this damage.

This study found that men with early-onset androgenetic alopecia had significantly larger prostate volumes and lower urinary flow rates compared to healthy controls, suggesting a possible link between AGA and prostate-related urinary symptoms.

In this study, low grade inflammation was associated with skin conditions like atopic eczema, onychomycosis, and rosacea in an adult Finnish population.

The document concludes that using LC-MS/MS for measuring androgens is more accurate than older methods, but it needs careful validation and standardized references to be most effective.

This study demonstrated that AIRE-deficient rats exhibit key symptoms of APECED, making them a relevant model for exploring potential treatments.

This study demonstrates that locally synthesized estrogen and androgen neurosteroids play opposite roles in long-term synaptic changes in male rats' medial vestibular nucleus, with testosterone-dihydrotestosterone mediating long-term depression and 17β-estradiol mediating long-term potentiation.

Women's ovarian hormones and adrenal androgens change throughout life, affecting hair loss and health.

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia may be caused by changes in how the body processes male hormones.

This study found that three months of oral finasteride treatment significantly decreased dihydrotestosterone levels and hair growth in hirsute women without negatively affecting gonadotropin secretion.

This article reviews the effects of 5 alpha-reductase inhibitors for treating conditions like male pattern baldness and benign prostatic hyperplasia, noting significant DHT reduction but reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the challenges in measuring testosterone for assessing androgen excess in women and emphasizes the importance of quality control in laboratory methods, but it reports no new clinical results.

This meta-analysis found that treating male androgenetic alopecia with 5α-reductase inhibitors increases the risk of sexual dysfunction, with a statistically significant risk for finasteride but not for dutasteride.

People with X-linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia have no sweat ducts and less, thinner hair.

In studying wild meerkats, researchers observed that matriarchs with high androgen levels during late gestation exhibited increased dominance and aggression, affecting both their behavior and their offspring's aggression.

This study found that dermatological treatments significantly reduce health-related quality of life among patients with various skin conditions, suggesting that the burden of these therapies should be considered in treatment planning and development.

This study of African-American women found that those perceiving greater hair breakage showed lower break stress and higher premature failure rates, linked to grooming practices and hair curvature.

This article summarizes the MHRA report on finasteride and does not present new clinical findings.

This study found that in Japanese, German, and American females, changes in hair lipid patterns with age may reflect alterations in sebum excretion and affect hair texture.

In this study, 4-substituted N-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-3-oxo-4-androstene-17.beta.-carboxamides were synthesized and evaluated in vitro as potential 5 alpha-reductase inhibitors and antiandrogens.

This article reviews the potential of combining antiandrogenic and antiestrogenic treatments for BPH, highlighting aromatase inhibitors, but presents no new clinical results; further research is needed.

This study found that testosterone enhances insulin secretion in human pancreatic islets by being converted into DHT and E2, processes that are necessary for this effect.

In this study, researchers identified gremilin-2 as a highly specific gene to the dermal sheath cup, suggesting it plays a key role in maintaining its properties.

This review discusses the role of oestrogens in stimulating linear bone growth and pubertal changes in both boys and girls, highlighting their influence on the growth hormone-insulin-like growth factor axis; it reports no new clinical results.

In this study, deuruxolitinib and baricitinib showed promising efficacy in treating alopecia areata, but effectiveness varied with dosage and further trials are needed to confirm these results.

This case report suggests that spironolactone may induce prostate cancer proliferation in patients on abiraterone acetate, advising against its use for managing treatment-associated side effects in these individuals.

This study in rats suggests that combining the 5 alpha-reductase inhibitor 4-MA with the antiandrogen Flutamide may enhance prostate cancer therapy by additively inhibiting prostatic growth and mRNA levels of androgen-sensitive prostatic binding proteins.

This study observed that platelet-rich plasma samples from female patients show significant variability in growth factor secretion, which may influence the inconsistent clinical response in alopecia treatment.

This article discusses the minimal research on hair growth physiology and highlights Dr. Masumi Inaba's contributions to understanding androgenetic alopecia, but reports no new experimental results.
