This article reviews the role of androgens and oral contraceptives in acne pathogenesis and management but presents no new clinical results.

This narrative review highlights the critical role of intracrine hormone production in peripheral tissues, suggesting that continuous-release subcutaneous testosterone pellet therapy may offer a more effective symptom-driven approach for aging populations, though large-scale randomized controlled trials are needed for confirmation.

This study synthesized and evaluated hydroxycinnamate derivatives for their ability to inhibit human SRD5A1, finding that three compounds showed significant inhibitory activity and low cytotoxicity. Compound 10a notably reduced SRD5A1 protein expression in cells, suggesting potential for nonsteroidal treatment of androgen-related conditions.

This case report underlines the importance of considering alternative diagnoses like ovarian steroid cell tumors in adolescent females with PCOS-like symptoms when standard treatments fail, highlighting the need for thorough evaluation and early intervention.

This source highlights the essential role of androgens in women's health, noting their impact on various body systems and the critical need for more research on androgen therapies regarding side effects, patient selection, and laboratory standardization.

This review reports that pregnancy-specific dermatoses, including AEP, PEP, ICP, and PG, present overlapping clinical features and can significantly impact fetal outcomes, particularly ICP and PG, which are linked to preterm birth and stillbirth.

This review discusses the crucial role of sex hormones in maintaining and influencing skin health, suggesting ongoing research into hormonal treatments for skin conditions due to life stage changes.

This article reviews treatment options for Alopecia Areata, concluding that topical corticosteroids are effective for mild cases, while systemic therapies are advised for moderate to severe cases.

This study found that administering a supraphysiological dose of testosterone to female rats significantly reduced estrogen and progesterone levels, disrupted sex steroid receptor expression, and interfered with the embryonic implantation window, indicating potential implications for androgen-related endometrial conditions.

This study found that free testosterone levels were 29% higher with the levonorgestrel implant than with the DMPA injection, which may impact sexual function, mood, and side effects like acne.

This source offers an in-depth review of Methandrostenolone, examining its pharmacology, performance-enhancing effects, potential health risks, and legal status in various countries, while emphasizing the scientific evidence surrounding its use and misuse.

This study found that in women with PCOS, insulin resistance is closely associated with hyperandrogenism, indicating it may independently predict increased androgen levels.

Acne is linked to inflammation and insulin resistance, and is associated with various syndromes that require different treatments.

This study found that estradiol and other sex steroids reduced the capture of monocytes by human endothelial cells in vitro, potentially inhibiting the formation of atherosclerosis by promoting nCAM polysialylation, which interferes with leukocyte tethering to the vascular endothelium.

Gender affects hair and scalp characteristics, with differences in hormone responses, graying patterns, and trace metals.

This study observed that Greek Caucasian women with PCOS had distinct serum hormone levels and a specific AKT2 gene SNP, which may play a role in the condition's characteristics.

This case report describes a 57-year-old woman's virilizing adrenal tumor effectively treated with the antiandrogen cyproterone acetate, which led to symptom reversal and tumor resolution.

In this study, insulin resistance in polycystic ovary syndrome was highly correlated with unbound testosterone and sex hormone-binding globulin, rather than luteinizing hormone or peripheral androgen metabolism.

This study found that women with polycystic ovary syndrome have higher rates of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, with androgen excess contributing to the risk.

This review discusses the reclassification of pregnancy-related skin diseases and provides a management algorithm but reports no new clinical findings.

These guidelines review the management of complications and specific forms of congenital ichthyosis and report no new results; they summarize expert and evidence-based recommendations for clinicians.

This presentation reviews recent discoveries about signaling mechanisms in hair follicles and their potential influence on hair cycle control and melanogenesis, without presenting new experimental results.

This study comprehensively compared different crystalline forms of finasteride, including the new finasteride DMF solvate hemihydrate, to better understand their structural characteristics and intermolecular interactions.

This study found that women with polycystic ovary syndrome in China had elevated androgen levels compared to healthy controls, and suggests body weight management and SHBG and FAI testing are recommended for these women.

In this case report, a male patient with hair loss showed unusually high testosterone levels without other symptoms or supplement use; follow-up testing revealed normal levels, showcasing the importance of considering testosterone-protein binding differences and using equilibrium dialysis for accurate assessment.

This review found that antimalarial agents were more effective than steroids for Lichen planopilaris, while finasteride and dutasteride showed favorable impacts on frontal fibrosing alopecia, despite heterogeneous study quality.

This study developed a new crystallization method using solid solution formation to purify finasteride by effectively removing contamination with dihydrofinasteride.

This study identified mutations in the SREBF1 gene that impair SREBP1 function, potentially contributing to IFAP syndrome by affecting skin, hair, and eye development.

This review discusses the relevance of human androgen receptor action in sports doping and examines the potential of cell-based biological assays for detecting androgenic anabolic steroid use, without presenting new research findings.

This study suggests that androgens enhance growth factor production in dermal fibroblasts, which in turn may alter keratinocyte differentiation and contribute to acne lesion formation.
