This review highlights the efficacy of transdermal testosterone therapy in improving sexual function in women with hypoactive sexual desire disorder, though approved formulations and long-term safety data are limited.

In this study, no significant association was found between androgenetic alopecia and increased risks of hypertension or hyperaldosteronism among male participants in Saudi Arabia, suggesting that AGA should not be considered an indicator for these conditions.

This study found that polymeric micelle nanocarriers delivered pharmacologically relevant amounts of spironolactone to the epidermis and upper dermis, with higher delivery to pilosebaceous units, suggesting potential for treating glucocorticoid-induced impaired wound healing and pilosebaceous androgen-related skin diseases.

This study found a significant association between androgenic alopecia and periodontal disease in men aged 25–44, suggesting the relationship may begin early in adulthood.

This review discusses the role of gut steroids in communicating with the gut microbiota and their potential implications in treating gastrointestinal disorders and related brain conditions, suggesting new perspectives on steroid molecules as therapeutic agents.

In this review, extensive analysis using conditional mutant mice revealed that androgen and Wnt signals play crucial roles in the development and function of male external genitalia and erectile tissue, while also exploring various regulatory factors involved in their pathogenesis.

This study highlights IGF-1's role in promoting hair follicle proliferation, vascularization, and growth, suggesting its potential as a treatment target for hair loss disorders like androgenetic alopecia, though more research on delivery methods and long-term effects is needed.

This study found that finasteride-loaded microspheres effectively treated androgenic alopecia in a mouse model, showing similar hair growth effects to orally-administered finasteride.

This study found that topical finasteride and flutamide both significantly reduced sebaceous gland growth and decreased prostatic weights in hamsters, indicating systemic effects despite local application.

This study found that PRP with high estrogen levels increased hair density more effectively and earlier than autologous PRP in male patients with androgenic alopecia.

This article reviews the hormonal and medication-related factors associated with acne development but does not present new research findings.

This review discusses low-level light therapy for androgenetic alopecia and female pattern hair loss, noting minimal clinical evidence on its efficacy and the need for more controlled studies.

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.

This study observed that smokers and alcohol consumers with androgenetic alopecia had significantly lower serum levels of antioxidant vitamins, and these habits may trigger earlier onset of alopecia in susceptible individuals.

This review discusses the potential mechanisms and evidence supporting low-level laser therapy for stimulating hair growth in men and women, while noting its safety and effectiveness but needing further study on specific parameters.

This review found that low-level laser therapy appears promising in improving hair regrowth and patient satisfaction in androgenetic alopecia, though results should be interpreted cautiously.

This study reviews current systemic treatments for hidradenitis suppurativa, highlighting traditional methods and new options like biological agents, and suggests that pharmacological therapies show promise, particularly for non-advanced cases, despite the disease's complex etiology involving factors such as genetics and inflammation.

In this case-control study, researchers found that serum apelin-12 levels were significantly higher in acne patients and correlated with acne severity, BMI, insulin resistance, and inflammation, suggesting that managing insulin resistance could be important for acne treatment.

This study found that individuals with alopecia areata had significantly lower blood levels of vitamin D and slightly lower serum copper levels compared to healthy controls, suggesting the potential importance of assessing these factors in the chemical evaluation of patients with this condition.

This review discusses how sex hormone levels and local steroid synthesis influence gender differences in aging skin, reporting no new clinical results.

This study, conducted among Egyptians, found a borderline significant association between the Stul polymorphism of the androgen receptor gene and androgenetic alopecia in males, with higher androgen receptor expression in balding scalp areas.

LLLT is a safe, promising hair loss treatment, but more research needed.

The researchers reported that DHT may reduce the inflammatory responses induced by C. acnes in androgen-sensitive human sebocyte cells, suggesting a potential link between androgens and infection in sebaceous disorders.

This study found that finasteride treatment reduced urinary androgen and prostaglandin levels in male pattern baldness patients to levels similar to healthy controls.

This study found that women with idiopathic hyperandrogenemia had higher urinary Bisphenol A levels compared to healthy controls, suggesting a potential role of this chemical in the condition.

This review synthesizes recent research to propose a precision framework for treating androgenetic alopecia and alopecia areata based on genetic insights and pathway biology, highlighting the roles of androgen-receptor signaling, immune dysregulation, and emerging therapies like regenerative medicine and AI-assisted diagnostics.

This study found that serum GPER-1 levels were significantly higher in patients with androgenetic alopecia compared to healthy controls, suggesting a potential role in the condition's pathogenesis, independent of gender.

This study found that 9 out of 12 women with acne or alopecia showed subjective improvement with finasteride treatment despite having normal free testosterone levels, suggesting a potential role of 5alpha-reductase activity.

This review discusses the role of hormones in acne vulgaris and highlights the need for further research on their mechanisms of action; it reports no new clinical results.

This chapter reviews the causes, prevalence, and prognosis of androgenetic alopecia and discusses treatments like topical minoxidil and systemic finasteride to stop hair loss and potentially increase hair density.
