In this study, among various treatments for localized alopecia areata, intralesional and topical steroids were found to be the most effective with no significant side effects.

This study found that sex differences in somatostatin biosynthesis in rat hypothalamic neurons develop between postnatal day 1 and 5, influenced by the conversion of testosterone to estrogen.

This study suggests that in an ex vivo rat glaucoma model, TSPO activation is involved in Allopregnanolone synthesis and may help prevent retinal damage, with TSPO agonists as potential therapeutic agents.

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 article reviews treatment options and psychological impacts of alopecia areata and reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that experienced Australian prescribers of hormone therapy for transgender adults often follow international guidelines but highlight the need for better training and specific local guidelines.

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 review highlights current treatment options for frontal fibrosing alopecia, noting that 5-α-reductase inhibitors, intralesional steroids, and hydroxychloroquine have the highest evidence of effectiveness, while other therapies show variable results and need further research.

This study found that 5α–reductase activity is higher in infrainfundibular keratinocytes compared to interfollicular epidermal keratinocytes, suggesting a potential role in acne-related follicular changes.

This study found that age-related fluctuations in hormones and endocannabinoids in male C57BL/6 mice showed specific patterns, with peak values observed around 2.7 to 3.4 months, with these patterns seen in both plasma and hair but with different magnitudes.

This study found that two sessions of platelet-rich plasma mesotherapy significantly improved symptoms in patients with corticosteroid-induced rosacea-like dermatitis without further treatment.

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 study found that testosterone administration reduced the expression of uterine receptivity molecules in ovariectomized rats, which may negatively affect early pregnancy establishment and female fertility.

This case report details a 13-year-old girl experiencing patchy hair loss on her scalp, with no pain or hair-pulling behavior reported.

This article reviews the causes, clinical features, and treatment options for androgenetic alopecia, but provides no new clinical findings.

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

This review addresses alopecia areata, emphasizing its autoimmune nature, unpredictable course, and lack of preventive or curative treatments, while noting standard and emerging therapies such as topical steroids and Janus kinase inhibitors.

This review discusses various treatment options for Alopecia Areata, focusing on both medical and psychological approaches, and reports no new clinical results.

The document concludes that more research is needed to better understand and treat scarring hair loss conditions.

This study evaluated novel steroids' potential as future hormonal therapies for neuroprotection in glucose disorders, but emphasized that further research is needed to optimize androgen antagonist use in the context of COVID-19 progression.

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 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 suggests that potent topical corticosteroid occlusion may be a safe and effective treatment option for pediatric patients with severe alopecia areata, although further research is needed on its long-term safety and recurrence.

This paper reviews the current lack of evidence on the safety and effectiveness of gender-affirming therapies in minors with gender dysphoria, highlighting ethical and legal concerns, including possible long-term consequences such as infertility.

This study found that neonatal administration of finasteride reduced sensitivity to alcohol's motor-stimulating effects and increased preference for novelty and initial alcohol consumption in rats, suggesting a role in alcohol vulnerability.

This review examines the clinical presentation and management strategies for alopecia areata, focusing on pediatric patients, and highlights the need for addressing its psychological impacts; it reports no new clinical findings.
