In this study, serum PSA levels were higher in women with PCOS, suggesting it may serve as a marker for hyperandrogenism in this condition.

This review discusses treatments for female acne, highlighting the effectiveness of low-dose oral contraceptives and noting their similar side effects to placebo; it reports no new clinical results.

This study found that obesity in PCOS women with biochemical hyperandrogenemia lowers androstenedione levels and increases the testosterone to androstenedione ratio, but this was not observed in women with clinical hyperandrogenemia or in controls.

This review discusses the extragenital effects of ovarian steroids, particularly focusing on aesthetic endocrinology, which suggests estrogens may slow skin aging post-menopause, though hair loss treatment efficacy is mainly confirmed for minoxidil.

This study found that women with female pattern baldness had a marked increase in the 3α,17β-androstanediol glucuronide/sex hormone binding globulin ratio and low serum sex hormone binding globulin.

This study found that in men with sexual dysfunction, use of 5ARI may reduce sexual drive and spontaneous erections without worsening pre-existing erectile or ejaculatory issues.

GABAergic steroid precursors reduce ethanol withdrawal symptoms in certain mice.

In this study, germ-free male mice showed altered levels of certain neuroactive steroids in the brain and periphery, suggesting microbiota may influence neuroendocrine pathways that support brain functioning.

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.

This review highlights the potential therapeutic applications of nandrolone, an anabolic steroid, for male health, but notes that more human studies are needed due to limited existing literature.

Sex steroids, especially progesterone, can slow down the growth of mouse melanoma cells.

This study found that combining oral testosterone with dutasteride increased testosterone bioavailability in hypogonadal men while suppressing dihydrotestosterone levels over a 28-day period.

This review discusses how COVID-19 may affect gonadal function and potential gender differences, but reports no clinical results; it highlights possible mechanisms and new treatment approaches from recent literature.

The study concluded that serum AMH is a useful tool for diagnosing polycystic ovarian morphology in women with persistent acne, potentially replacing transvaginal ultrasound, though it does not correlate with hyperandrogenemia.

This study identified novel 4-Amino-2H-benzo[h]chromen-2-one analogs as potent androgen receptor antagonists that show strong antiproliferative activity against prostate cancer cells, suggesting them as potential lead compounds for therapy development.

This study found that overweight women with polycystic ovary syndrome carrying the HSD3B1 1245C allele had an increased presence of female pattern hair loss compared to those with the wild-type genotype.

This report describes a possible case of burn-induced bullous pemphigoid, as the disease was transient and did not recur, suggesting a potential link between burns and the condition.

This study found that etifoxine pretreatment reduced neuroinflammation and improved cognitive function in LPS-induced neuroinflammation in mice, potentially through increased neurosteroid synthesis and reduced apoptosis.

This case study describes a 15-year-old girl with a Sertoli–Leydig cell tumor who showed high androgen levels and steroidogenic responses similar to patients with polycystic ovary syndrome before surgery.

In this study, researchers reported that both progestin-only injectable contraceptives, DMPA-IM and NET-EN, significantly decreased serum testosterone and SHBG levels among HIV-negative women in South Africa, yet this did not explain prior findings of no reduction in risky sexual behavior or sexual function.

This review highlights significant health risks associated with anabolic-androgenic steroid use in women and reports no new research results, emphasizing the need for further understanding of their effects on female physiology.

This review discusses the pathomechanism and pathology of alopecia areata, its classifications, and associated diseases, but reports no new clinical results, highlighting the importance for current and future treatment considerations.

This article reviews the development of selective androgen receptor modulators and myostatin inhibitors as performance-enhancing drugs, highlighting ongoing challenges in achieving truly tissue-selective anabolic agents and reporting no new experimental findings.

This study identified significant trends in interest around selective androgen receptor modulators, with increasing attention contrasting stagnant or declining interest in post-cycle therapies and anabolic steroids, and calls for clinicians to use social and prescription data to adjust treatment protocols accordingly.

This study developed a validated gas chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry assay to assess sex steroid hormones in cerebrospinal fluid, finding substantial levels of DHEA, androstenedione, and testosterone, with strong correlations to serum levels, providing insight into sex steroid dynamics in the human CNS.

This study found that pregnant Egyptian women with PCOS and recurrent miscarriages showed elevated DHEA levels and shortened cervical length, which may negatively impact pregnancy outcomes.

This study observed that Kelulut honey effectively normalized the expression of certain sex steroid receptors in PCOS-induced rats, similar to metformin and clomiphene.

This study found that in men, elevated androgen levels can occur at any age, with older men potentially exhibiting increased total testosterone due to higher levels of SHBG, and younger men showing various clinical manifestations like acne and alopecia.

This study observed that consuming flaxseeds significantly reduced serum free testosterone and improved insulin levels among young women with PCOS, suggesting a promising alternative to conventional treatments.

This review discusses diagnostic strategies for pediatric hair loss, emphasizing the importance of thorough examinations and dermoscopy for accurate diagnosis, and reports no new research findings.
