research The Effect of 5α-Reductase Inhibition With Dutasteride and Finasteride on Bone Mineral Density, Serum Lipoproteins, Hemoglobin, Prostate Specific Antigen, and Sexual Function in Healthy Young Men
Dutasteride and finasteride do not significantly affect bone density, blood fats, or blood production, but slightly lower PSA levels and minimally impact sexual function in healthy young men.
research Wnt Signaling in Skin Organogenesis
Wnt signaling is crucial for skin and hair development and its disruption can cause skin tumors.
research Potential Adverse Effects of Long-Term Testosterone Therapy
Long-term testosterone therapy can cause hormone suppression, affect prostate and heart health, and alter physical characteristics, but does not increase prostate cancer risk and needs more research for full risk assessment.
research Physical Changes, Laboratory Parameters, and Bone Mineral Density During Testosterone Treatment in Adolescents with Gender Dysphoria
Testosterone treatment effectively causes male physical development in transgender male adolescents but may lead to side effects like acne, higher BMI and blood pressure, lower good cholesterol, and decreased bone density.
research Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and Its Impact on Health
PCOS affects women's health by increasing the risk of diabetes, heart disease, and reproductive issues.
research Association of Androgenetic Alopecia with Metabolic Syndrome in Men: A Community-Based Survey
Balding men, especially young ones, may have higher risk of heart issues and diabetes; check cholesterol levels.
research Five-Year Results of a Prospective Very Low-Calorie Diet or Conventional Weight Loss Program in Type 2 Diabetes
The intensive conventional diet with exercise led to better long-term weight loss and health improvements than the very low calorie diet in obese type 2 diabetics.
research Red Ginseng Monograph

research Specific Dermatologic Features of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and Its Association with Biochemical Markers of Metabolic Syndrome and Hyperandrogenism
Hirsutism is a strong sign of high male hormones and metabolic problems in women with PCOS, but acne and hair loss are not.
research The Clinical Evaluation of Hirsutism
Hirsutism is excessive hair growth in women often caused by polycystic ovarian syndrome, and identifying the cause is important for managing associated health risks.
research How Should Postmenopausal Androgen Excess Be Evaluated?
Evaluate postmenopausal women with high androgen levels using medical history, physical exams, lab tests, and imaging to manage health risks.
research Changes in the PCOS Phenotype with Age
PCOS symptoms change with age; younger women have higher androgen levels and less metabolic issues, while older women face more metabolic challenges despite milder PCOS symptoms.
research Symbiotic In Vitro Seed Propagation of Dendrobium: Fungal and Bacterial Partners and Their Influence on Plant Growth and Development
Certain fungi and bacteria help orchid seeds germinate and plants grow better.
research Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin as an Early Biomarker and Therapeutic Target in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
SHBG may be a useful early indicator and treatment target for PCOS.
research Improvement of Endothelial Function with Metformin and Rosiglitazone Treatment in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Metformin and rosiglitazone improve blood vessel function in women with PCOS, with metformin also reducing insulin resistance and testosterone levels.
research Matriptase Activation and Shedding with HAI-1 Induced by Steroid Sex Hormones in Human Prostate Cancer Cells, but Not in Breast Cancer Cells
Steroid sex hormones activate matriptase in prostate cancer cells but not in breast cancer cells.
research Scoping Review on the Use of Drugs Targeting JAK/STAT Pathway in Atopic Dermatitis, Vitiligo, and Alopecia Areata
Drugs targeting the JAK/STAT pathway can improve atopic dermatitis but vary in effectiveness for vitiligo and alopecia areata, with generally mild safety concerns.
research Steroids And Steroid-Like Compounds
Athletes use steroids to enhance performance despite health risks and legal issues, and education on their dangers is needed.
research 46,XY DSD Due to Impaired Androgen Production
