This study suggests that epitestosterone may play a role in regulating androgen-dependent processes like prostate growth and body hair distribution by counteracting testosterone's actions.

This review discusses the role of androgens in women's skin-related conditions like acne, hirsutism, and female pattern hair loss, noting the lack of dermatology guidelines for when to pursue endocrinologic evaluation.

This review discusses the influence of androgens on hair and sebaceous growth, emphasizing that response may depend more on peripheral sensitivity than on hormone levels; it reports no new empirical results.

This review discusses various drugs that can cause drug-induced acne, noting specific clinical and histopathologic features, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that the stratum corneum of scalp skin in humans has distinct functional characteristics compared to the facial skin and volar forearm, including higher hydration levels and intermediate epidermal turnover rates.

This review discusses the molecular basis and clinical implications of primary generalized glucocorticoid resistance and hypersensitivity, attributing them to mutations in the human glucocorticoid receptor gene, and reports no new clinical findings.

This article reviews the unique health issues and preventive care recommendations for LGBT individuals, emphasizing dermatologic considerations and the importance of culturally competent care, but reports no new clinical findings.

The document concludes that research on sulfatase inhibitors should continue due to their potential in treating various diseases, despite some clinical trial failures.

This article reviews the hormonal pathogenesis and treatment strategies for acne vulgaris, particularly in women with severe or treatment-resistant cases, associating it with hormonal imbalances and hyperandrogenism.

In this study, researchers developed a method to measure steroid hormones in hair and found that body hair typically contains higher levels of cortisone and testosterone compared to scalp hair, but hair pigmentation did not affect hormone concentrations significantly.

This review explores the potential (neuro-)endocrine influences on hair follicle epithelial stem cell biology and emphasizes the need for more systematic research, but it provides no new empirical results.

This study found that PNU 157706 is a highly potent inhibitor of human 5α-reductase enzymes, showing a stronger and longer-lasting antiprostatic effect in rats compared to finasteride.

This study suggests that patients with STSD show a different pattern in androgen activation compared to healthy controls, potentially due to increased 5α-reductase activity and absent prepubertal serum DHEA surge.

This article reviews recent advances in the synthesis of oxasteroids and reports no new experimental results.

This paper discusses mechanisms by which various chemicals disrupt male sexual differentiation, concluding that mixture risk assessments should include a broader set of compounds beyond phthalates to address cumulative reproductive health risks.

In this study, researchers reported that about one-third of men with premature alopecia displayed hormonal shifts and higher insulin resistance, resembling the prevalence pattern of PCOS in women.

This review discusses inflammatory and medication-related skin conditions associated with kidney disease and emphasizes the importance of timely referral to nephrology, reporting no new clinical results.

This study found that finasteride treatment in male rats led to enduring effects on depressive-like behavior, hippocampal neurogenesis and neuroinflammation, and gut microbiota composition after withdrawal.

This paper describes recent advancements in the synthesis of thiasteroids but reports no new experimental results, noting that introducing heteroatoms in steroidal structures has potential biological effects.

This review summarizes current and emerging treatments for common hair loss conditions, highlighting good evidence for androgenetic alopecia but noting the lack of long-term data for alopecia areata and cicatricial alopecias.

This study concludes that high skin 5α-reductase activity may contribute to hirsutism, but the specific regulatory mechanisms and genetic factors remain unclear.

Pregnancy can cause specific skin conditions that need correct diagnosis and treatment to protect both mother and baby.

In this study, dutasteride more effectively reduced prostate cancer cell viability than finasteride in vitro, but did not significantly alter the angiogenic response.

This review discusses the most common types of alopecia in adolescents and emphasizes the importance of psychosocial support, but reports no new clinical findings.

This review discusses the role of androgens in menopausal women's health, highlighting symptoms of both hyperandrogenemia and androgen deficiency, but reports no clinical results.

In this study, spironolactone was reported to stabilize or improve female pattern hair loss in 74.3% of treated women, especially those with signs of hyperandrogenism.

This review discusses the role of cholesterol homeostasis in hair follicle biology and its potential connections to various hair disorders, but it reports no new findings.

This review discusses the negative effects of anabolic androgenic steroids on various organ systems in men and reports no new results, highlighting the need for physician awareness.

This study describes a patient with metastatic renal cell carcinoma who experienced a recurrence of pemphigus vulgaris after receiving interleukin 2 immunotherapy, suggesting a possible link between the treatment and autoimmune disease recurrence.

This review discusses recent advances in understanding the pathogenesis of autoimmune alopecia areata and reports no new clinical results; it highlights potential for developing more effective treatments.
