This review discusses the presence of undeclared substances, including androgenic steroids, in sports supplements and emphasizes potential health risks, without providing new results; it advises caution and consultation on supplement use.

In this study, researchers characterized a dehydroepiandrosterone hydroxylating enzyme system in hair follicles similar to the liver monooxygenase system, noting its inhibition by carbon monoxide and its dependence on NADPH.

This study found that DHEA significantly inhibited growth and induced autophagy in a mouse melanoma cell line, but showed only muffled inhibition and induced apoptosis in a human melanoma cell line.

In this study, a deproteinized bone mineral showed potential to increase DHT production, suggesting an anabolic effect on human periosteal fibroblasts with possible implications for wound healing.

This study describes a fast LC/MS/MS method for detecting various synthetic drugs in urine, meeting World Anti-Doping Agency performance limits.

This study concluded that 16β-methyl-17α-benzoyloxypregnen-4-en-3,20-dione may be a promising treatment for androgen-dependent diseases and epilepsy due to its antioxidant effects and impact on GABAergic and serotonergic metabolism in rats.

In this study, cedrol was found to reduce lipid accumulation in the liver and adipose tissues of dexamethasone-treated mice by antagonizing glucocorticoid receptors, suggesting its potential utility in treating dexamethasone-induced lipid metabolism disorders.

This study observed that new trienone compounds consistently showed higher 5alpha-reductase inhibitory activity compared to corresponding dienones across various biological models.

This study found no correlation between clinical stages of androgenetic alopecia and serum DHEA-S levels in men, contrasting with previous studies suggesting elevated levels.

In this study, researchers found that the synthetic stress hormone dexamethasone caused opposite effects on hair growth-related proteins, reducing SFRP2 and increasing SFRP3, which respectively stimulate and inhibit hair follicle cell proliferation in human dermal papilla cells.

This study found that taking a daily oral dose of 50mg DHEA for one year had no significant impact on blood lipids, insulin sensitivity, or the endometrium in postmenopausal women with low libido.

This study found that a new deoxycholic acid derivative may offer a similar prostatoprotective effect to finasteride with lower toxicity in rat models.

This review found no evidence that DHEA improves quality of life or decreases menopausal symptoms in peri- and postmenopausal women, but it may slightly enhance sexual function compared to placebo.

This study found no correlation between the clinical stage of androgenetic alopecia and serum levels of dehydroepiandrosterone-sulfate, contrasting earlier findings and supporting theories about alternative androgen sources in hair follicles.

This review discusses hormone replacement therapy for menopausal women, emphasizing DHEA's unique ability to convert into sex steroids only in targeted tissues, and reports no new clinical results.

In this randomized study of male contraceptive regimens, adding finasteride did not significantly enhance spermatogenesis suppression compared to the control group.

This study found that the dehydroepiandrosterone hydroxylating enzyme system in hair follicles is similar to the liver monooxygenase system, sharing characteristics such as inhibition by carbon monoxide and dependency on NADPH.

This study found that prolonged administration of DHEA improved long-term memory and brain activity balance in old rhesus macaques, with effects like increased motor activity and restored hair lasting a year.

This study found that brothers of women with PCOS exhibit elevated DHEAS levels, indicating a potential familial genetic trait, but did not show increased rates of premature balding.

This study presents a rapid method for detecting multiple xenobiotics in urine, effectively identifying 45 compounds banned in sports with detection limits below WADA's performance levels.

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.

The body's change of testosterone into DHT is not necessary for testosterone's muscle and sexual effects.

This study explored the effects of DPP, a 15-PGDH inhibitor, on human follicle dermal papilla cells damaged by dihydrotestosterone and observed that DPP enhanced wound healing, reduced reactive oxygen species, and increased hair growth in ex vivo human hair follicle cultures.

This retrospective analysis reported significant increases in testosterone levels in men with testosterone deficiency using the Daily Subcutaneous Testosterone method combined with hCG and anastrozole, indicating its potential as a treatment option.

This review discusses diosgenin's potential benefits for several chronic diseases and emphasizes extraction and quantification techniques, but reports no clinical findings.

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 two novel nonsteroidal derivatives inhibited specific enzymes in vitro and in vivo, leading to dihydrotestosterone accumulation in androgen-dependent glands, suggesting potential therapeutic use for mood improvement in the elderly.

This study observed that the isotope-dilution GC-MS technique can assess 5α-reductase activity more effectively than conventional methods in rat liver S9 fractions, particularly at low testosterone levels.

This study reported that chronic use of performance-enhancing drugs significantly altered users' personalities and physical attributes, raising concerns about whether the perceived benefits outweigh the costs.
