This review examines the role of cyclodextrins in improving the solubility, stability, and bioavailability of steroid drugs but does not report new experimental findings.

In this study, testosterone and certain metabolites were highly effective in promoting sebaceous structure growth in the female hamster flank organ, while others had limited or no effect.

This collection from the 2021 Manfred Donike Workshop outlines advancements in doping detection, highlighting new test methods and challenges, with a focus on steroidal substances, peptide hormones, and gene doping analysis.

Fermentation of Finasteride with Ocimum sanctum L. creates new metabolite that inhibits tyrosinase.

Green algae can break down finasteride, reducing environmental harm.

This review suggests that brassinosteroids may have similar biological activities in both plants and other organisms, prompting further exploration of steroid regulation mechanisms across different life forms.

This study found that among eleven tested polymethoxyflavones, 5-hydroxy-7,4′-dimethoxyflavone was the strongest steroid 5α-reductase inhibitor and suggests potential use for benign prostatic hyperplasia treatment.

This study introduces MicrobeFDT, a tool that clusters chemically similar compounds and links them to gut microbial enzymes and toxicities, demonstrating its utility by uncovering previously unknown metabolism of the cancer drug altretamine.

In this study, researchers found that taking Saw palmetto and Pygeum africana supplements for five days altered the urinary steroid profile in a way that may interfere with the steroidal module of the Athlete Biological Passport.

High testosterone to epitestosterone ratio in hair could predict male-pattern baldness.

This review discusses the structural and functional advances in understanding sulfotransferases and sulfatases, highlighting new insights into enzyme mechanisms and inactivation by clinically relevant aryl sulfamates, but provides no new experimental results.

This study characterized the CYP154C7 enzyme from *Streptomyces* sp. PAMC26508, highlighting its ability to hydroxylate steroids efficiently, particularly androstenedione, and identified key amino acids important for substrate selectivity and catalytic efficiency.

This study found that women with PCOS displayed significantly higher activity of 5alpha-reductase, suggesting an additional role for liver and peripheral tissues in their androgen excess.

This study found that women with PCOS have higher activity of the enzyme 5alpha-reductase, which may contribute to their elevated androgen levels.

This study found that finasteride significantly inhibits the metabolism of tirilazad to its active metabolites without greatly affecting tirilazad's overall clearance.

This study observed that direct exposure to androgens in Western clawed frogs differentially affects thyroid receptor and deiodinase gene expression in male and female tissues, offering insight into sex-specific metabolic pathway activation.

This study found that the yeast androgen screen (YAS) could detect the activity of methyltestosterone in urine for a longer period than classical GC/MS, potentially identifying long-lasting metabolites.

This review explores the complex endocrine functions of human skin and its role as a peripheral endocrine organ, but reports no new clinical results.

This article discusses the role of androgens in metabolic and reproductive health and reports no new experimental results; the focus is on androgen receptor activation by testosterone and 5α-dihydrotestosterone.

In this study, finasteride was found to worsen the cardiac effects but reduce the mutagenic effects of nandrolone in male Wistar rats.

This article discusses the potential mechanism by which 5α-reductase inhibitors might offer protection against SARS-CoV-2, emphasizing possible roles of dehydroepiandrosterone and its impact on nitric oxide bioavailability, but reports no new experimental results.

This study developed and validated a comprehensive method using mass spectrometry to profile sex (pro)hormones in plasma, with results showing reliable calibration and detection of 31 analytes in samples from pre- and postmenopausal women and men, while addressing potential over- or underestimations in analyte concentrations.

This study concluded that the best approach for detecting Androsta-1,4,6-triene-3,17-dione administration in horses is monitoring the metabolites M1b or M4 in urine, detectable up to 77 hours post-administration.

Two non-steroidal antiandrogens, RU 58841 and RU 56187, form a common metabolite at different rates, which may influence their effects; RU 56187 could be used for prostate cancer treatment and RU 58841 for acne treatment.

This study found that finasteride decreases DHT/T levels more significantly in the vertex scalp hair than in the occipital hair of patients with male pattern baldness.

This study used a zebrafish model and advanced mass spectrometry to identify 11 metabolites of epristeride, revealing significant effects on purine metabolism and aromatic amino acid biosynthesis, which may aid in developing anti-doping detection methods.

This study identified new oxidative derivatives of finasteride, including a newly discovered metabolite, by using the fungus Macrophomina phaseolina.

Finasteride treats enlarged prostate and baldness, but may cause limited urinary improvement and sex-related side effects.

This study found that inhibiting 5α-reductase in molluscs provokes a specific shell morphology, suggesting gastropods might have unique 5α-reductase substrates absent in vertebrates.

This review discusses the clinical implications of female androgen deficiency and evaluates treatment options, emphasizing the need for cautious use of replacement therapy in women with severe deficiency and matching symptoms.
