This study found that older age at puberty may be associated with lower semen quality and altered reproductive hormone levels in young men, though only some results were statistically significant.

This study identified dose levels of selenium that can produce toxicity, noting that doses as low as 2-3 µg Se/kg bw/day can lead to adverse effects, and a human mortality study linked 300 µg/day consumption to increased death risk.

This review summarizes characteristics of vaginal moisturizers, lubricants, and washes for managing genitourinary syndrome of menopause, and clarifies common misconceptions about their chemical additives, without providing new clinical results.

In this study, researchers observed that the skin quality and hair follicle development of Rex rabbits improved when slaughtered in winter compared to summer, with findings suggesting seasonal regulation via multiple signaling pathways affecting fur characteristics.

This article discusses the negative experiences transgender individuals often encounter in emergency healthcare settings and emphasizes the importance of gender-affirming practices, but it reports no new clinical results.

This review highlights the limited effectiveness of current unlicensed treatments for male subfertility, like hormonal therapy and antioxidants, and emphasizes new drug discovery methods such as high-throughput screening and drug repurposing to improve treatment development for male subfertility.

This study updates guidelines for evaluating and managing male infertility, including revised testing recommendations for Y-chromosome microdeletions, use of pelvic MRI, and testicular sperm in nonazoospermic males.

This study found that finasteride and minoxidil act as hormone disruptors in mice, with finasteride having a more significant association with reproductive injuries, such as damage to the epididymis and reduced semen volume.

In this study, young albino rats whose mothers received high doses of rosemary extract during lactation showed negative health effects, including inhibited weight gain and organ damage, suggesting potential teratogenicity of rosemary extract when used in such conditions.

This review proposes a combination treatment scheme with a rotational approach for managing androgenetic alopecia, drawing on evidence for effectiveness, long-term use convenience, and patient acceptance, but presents no new clinical results.

In this study, Sper-12/siRNA nanoparticles effectively suppressed abnormal AR protein levels, promoted hair follicle proliferation, and alleviated hair loss symptoms in androgenetic alopecia model mice, providing a promising delivery platform for siRNA-based therapeutics.

This review discusses the impact of HRT on menopausal skin and hair symptoms and argues that potential benefits should be part of informed decision-making for managing menopause.

This review explores the similarities between polycystic ovary syndrome and hemochromatosis in terms of iron overload and suggests that addressing gut dysbiosis might help manage iron levels in these conditions.

This case report highlights a persistent gynecomastia in a young man following low-dose finasteride, suggesting that the incidence may be underreported and calls for patient counseling and early intervention.

This review summarizes recent research on the molecular properties and functions of L-PGDS and PGD2, but reports no new findings, highlighting their pathophysiological roles and guiding future studies.

This review discusses the relationship between gut microbiota and polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), including its potential mechanisms and the role of alterations in microbiome composition on PCOS pathophysiology.

This meeting abstract details various lectures and workshops from the 30th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Andrology, including findings on genetic and physiological factors affecting male fertility, but reports no new clinical results.

This study evaluated dermatologists' beliefs and counseling practices regarding finasteride's adverse effects, revealing that while 51% believed it could cause sexual side effects, fewer associated it with depression or infertility, highlighting a need for increased awareness and improved patient counseling.

This narrative review synthesized current research on hormonal therapies in cosmetic dermatology, finding they offer promising, evidence-based applications for conditions like aging skin, acne, and melasma, but noting that safety and personalized treatment approaches are essential for responsible clinical use.

This study found that postmenopausal women experience two distinct patterns of hair changes, with diffuse scalp hair loss linked to body hair loss and age, and frontal hair loss associated with increased facial hair and a younger age.

This review highlights that while lifestyle changes may help with many ovulatory disorders, oocyte donation is considered a viable option for patients who cannot undergo ovulation induction; it reports no new results.

This review explores the hormonal regulation of hair growth and changes with season, age, and sexual development, and calls for improved treatments for hair disorders.

This study found that finasteride treatment in male rats may lead to changes in connexin 43 expression in the testes of their offspring, potentially affecting spermatogenesis.

This study found that prenatal exposure to finasteride in rats led to permanent changes in developmental endpoints like anogenital distance and nipple retention, which were predictive of further reproductive tract malformations.

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, researchers analyzed spermogram data from men with diagnosed infertility in Ukraine, aiming to identify the most common sperm disorders, and they found that the study primarily involved men with primary infertility, compared to a control group of healthy men with confirmed fertility.

In this study using rats, finasteride-induced DHT deficiency led to morphological changes in seminiferous tubules, linked with altered junctional protein expression, potentially impairing fertility.

This study found that both men and women in infertile couples perceive using donor sperm as more likely to cause stress, marital problems, and a diminished sense of joint parenthood compared to donor eggs.

In this laboratory study with rats, treatment with finasteride reduced dihydrotestosterone levels and fertility parameters, with a 30-day recovery period proving insufficient to fully restore sperm function and fertility.
