This review summarizes existing research on the use of finasteride for treating androgenetic alopecia in men, reporting its effectiveness at 1 mg/day and a strong safety profile, but presents no new findings.

This study found that Bokusoku extract and its compound pentagalloyl glucose inhibited testosterone metabolism and sebum synthesis, suggesting potential therapeutic use for androgen-related acne.

This study found that gonadal steroid hormones influence alopecia areata in C3H/HeJ mice, with estradiol promoting progression and dihydrotestosterone conferring resistance to disease onset.

Finasteride affects prostate weights and pituitary activity differently with age.

This study reported that prenatal exposure to dihydrotestosterone altered long-term androgen metabolism in juvenile male rats, suggesting different regulatory mechanisms for 5a-reductase in hypothalamic versus pituitary tissues.

This study suggests that epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) from green tea may counteract DHT-induced hair follicle damage by modifying the miRNA expression profile in human dermal papilla cells.

This review discusses treatments for female acne, highlighting the effectiveness of low-dose oral contraceptives and noting their similar side effects to placebo; it reports no new clinical results.

Finasteride effectively lowers specific hormone levels, helping monitor treatment progress.

This study found that hair follicle cells' growth in vitro is influenced by the concentration of androgens and antiandrogens, with papilla cells and outer root sheath keratinocytes showing distinct sensitivity.

This review discusses the potential benefits of phytochemicals for hair care and emphasizes the need for more robust preclinical and clinical studies, without reporting new clinical results.

This review discusses the regulation of hair growth, causes of excessive androgen secretion, and current safe solutions for hyperandrogenism manifestations in women but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that Bazhengsan significantly reduced inflammation and hyperplasia in male rats with nonbacterial prostatitis, indicating potential as a treatment for chronic prostatitis.

This review summarizes the structural and chemical characteristics of current and novel antiandrogenic drugs but reports no new clinical findings.

This review discusses the role of androgens in women's sexual health and highlights the need for further research on androgen replacement therapy to optimize quality of life, but reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the biological and cosmetic aspects of hair aging and reports no new clinical results; it highlights current treatments and future research directions to address both aging factors.

This article discusses the potential of acupuncture as a complementary or alternative therapy for PCOS, highlighting experimental evidence of its positive effects on reproductive and metabolic function, but reports no new clinical results.

This narrative review highlights the critical role of intracrine hormone production in peripheral tissues, suggesting that continuous-release subcutaneous testosterone pellet therapy may offer a more effective symptom-driven approach for aging populations, though large-scale randomized controlled trials are needed for confirmation.

This study found that hypoxia-conditioned mesenchymal stem cell exosomes increased GM-CSF and decreased IL-1 expression in a dose-dependent manner in a murine model, suggesting potential for treating androgenetic alopecia.

In this case report, a 25-year-old transgender woman on testosterone-blocking therapy developed generalised hypertrichosis after starting ciclosporin for severe plaque psoriasis, illustrating that ciclosporin can induce this side effect even under androgen suppression.

This mini-review examines ethnopharmacological approaches to manage hair loss in postmenopausal women, highlighting promising botanical remedies like saw palmetto, rosemary oil, and ginseng. The authors underscore a need for more interdisciplinary trials and focus on traditional remedies' multifaceted benefits, while noting gaps in menopausal-specific evidence.

This review highlights the potential benefits of using rosemary and kalonji seeds for hair health, focusing on their phytochemical properties, mechanisms of action, and therapeutic potential in treating conditions such as alopecia and dandruff.

This article discusses how 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors like finasteride and dutasteride are used to treat androgenetic alopecia, while highlighting the ongoing debate over their potential side effects, including sexual dysfunction and psychological issues.

This study developed a method to measure local steroid hormone concentrations in hair, providing new insights into hormone dynamics associated with androgenetic alopecia.

This article reviews the role of hormones in human penis development and associated conditions due to hormonal imbalances, but reports no new findings, suggesting hormone replacement can manage some conditions.

The document concludes that treatments for female hair loss and excess body hair are available, but managing expectations is important.

This review summarizes therapeutic advances reported in English-language literature from December 1987 to December 1988 and states no new clinical results.

This study found that dihydrotestosterone induced hair loss and changes in hair morphology in male C57BL/6 mice, effects that could be partially reversed by the AR antagonist bicalutamide.

This study found that linoleic acid from Malva verticillata seed extracts may promote hair follicle cell growth and counteract hair loss signaling in a lab setting.

This study found that transdermal DHT treatment increased penile length in boys with 5α-reductase type 2 deficiency, but post-pubertal growth was limited and carried potential prostate complications.

This study found that androgens downregulate BMP2 in dermal papilla cells, inhibiting hair follicle stem cell differentiation, while BMP2 addition may restore hair lineage differentiation through the Wnt/β-catenin pathway.
