research The Effect of Finasteride in Men with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia
In this study, 5 mg of finasteride per day significantly improved urinary symptoms and reduced prostate volume in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia, but increased the risk of sexual dysfunction.
research Polycystic ovary syndrome
This article reviews the clinical features, diagnostic criteria, and possible genetic and environmental influences of polycystic ovary syndrome but provides no new research findings.
research Endocrine Treatment of Transsexual Persons:An Endocrine Society Clinical Practice Guideline
The guideline recommends mental health involvement in diagnosing gender identity disorder and outlines hormone and surgical treatment protocols, emphasizing safety, informed consent, and long-term monitoring.
research Androgens and Cardiovascular Disease
This review discusses the role of androgens in the progression of cardiovascular disease and explores novel therapeutic targets without reporting new clinical results.
research A Prospective Study of the Prevalence of the Polycystic Ovary Syndrome in Unselected Caucasian Women from Spain1
This study found that the prevalence of polycystic ovary syndrome was 6.5% in a minimally biased sample of Caucasian women from Spain.
research The Neurobiology of Sexual Function
This review discusses the neurobiology of sexual function and reports no new results; the authors cover multiple endocrine and neurotransmitter influences on sexual desire, arousal, and orgasm stages.
research Relative Prevalence of Different Androgen Excess Disorders in 950 Women Referred because of Clinical Hyperandrogenism
This study reported that classic anovulatory PCOS was the most common androgen excess disorder, followed by mild ovulatory PCOS and idiopathic hyperandrogenism, among patients evaluated for clinical hyperandrogenism.
research American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists, American College of Endocrinology, and Androgen Excess and PCOS Society Disease State Clinical Review: Guide to the Best Practices in the Evaluation and Treatment of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome - Part 1
This review discusses the diagnostic criteria and management strategies for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) and highlights the need for comprehensive clinical assessment, but does not report new clinical findings.
research Molecular basis of androgen insensitivity
Mutations in the androgen receptor gene cause androgen insensitivity, leading to female traits in genetically male individuals.
research Sexual Hormones in Human Skin
This review discusses the roles of androgens and estrogens in skin functions and disorders, and highlights the use of estrogen-progestin treatments and anti-androgens in managing hirsutism and acne, without reporting new results.
research A Prospective Study of the Prevalence of the Polycystic Ovary Syndrome in Unselected Caucasian Women from Spain
This study found a 6.5% prevalence of polycystic ovary syndrome among a population of Caucasian women in Spain, based on specific endocrine criteria.
research Corticotropin-releasing hormone: An autocrine hormone that promotes lipogenesis in human sebocytes
In vitro, this study suggests that CRH may act as an autocrine hormone in human sebocytes, influencing lipid synthesis and potentially impacting skin disorders related to alterations in sebaceous lipid formation.
research Androgen Therapy in Women: An Endocrine Society Clinical Practice Guideline
This review discusses guidelines for androgen use in women and concludes that more research is needed before recommending testosterone due to insufficient evidence on safety and efficacy.
research Investigation, treatment and monitoring of late‐onset hypogonadism in males: ISA, ISSAM, and EAU recommendations
This document outlines recommendations from an international panel on testosterone therapy for aging men with late-onset hypogonadism, emphasizing the need for careful assessment and monitoring due to limited long-term safety data.
research Current Guidelines for Diagnosing PCOS
This manuscript reviews current diagnostic criteria for polycystic ovary syndrome, emphasizing the need for accurate diagnosis in both clinical and research settings, but it does not provide new clinical findings.
research Androgen Therapy in Women: A Reappraisal: An Endocrine Society Clinical Practice Guideline
The guidelines advise against using testosterone and DHEA in women for most conditions due to safety and effectiveness concerns, but suggest considering testosterone for postmenopausal women with low sexual desire.
research ANDROPAUSE: A MISNOMER FOR A TRUE CLINICAL ENTITY
This review discusses the concept of andropause, preferring the term "androgen decline in the aging male" (ADAM), and emphasizes the need for urologists to recognize its manifestations and manage its treatment, but reports no new clinical results.
research 5α-reductase activity in the prostate
This review discusses the role of 5α-reductase in prostate development and BPH, and reports no new clinical results; ongoing trials are exploring dual isozyme inhibitors for improved treatment efficacy.
research REPORTS: Summary of the Recommendations on Sexual Dysfunctions in Women
The authors updated recommendations on diagnosing and treating women's sexual dysfunctions, emphasizing a comprehensive assessment approach, while noting the need for further multidisciplinary research.
research DIHYDROTESTOSTERONE AND THE PROSTATE: THE SCIENTIFIC RATIONALE FOR 5α-REDUCTASE INHIBITORS IN THE TREATMENT OF BENIGN PROSTATIC HYPERPLASIA

research Use of cyproterone acetate (CPA) in the treatment of acne, hirsutism and virilism
In this study, a treatment regimen combining cyproterone acetate and ethinyl estradiol significantly improved acne and seborrhoea in most women after three months, but had varied effects on hirsutism and alopecia.
research Androgens and hair growth
This review discusses the role of androgens in hair follicle regulation and suggests that a better understanding could enhance treatments for conditions like hirsutism and alopecia, but does not present new findings.
research Androgen receptor–mediated inhibition of cutaneous wound healing
The study found that reducing testosterone in male mice through castration or androgen antagonism significantly accelerated wound healing by decreasing inflammation, suggesting a potential therapeutic target for impaired healing in elderly men.
research Cross‐Sex Hormone Therapy in Trans Persons Is Safe and Effective at Short‐Time Follow‐Up: Results from the European Network for the Investigation of Gender Incongruence
