In this study, researchers observed that a significant number of women in Eket, Nigeria, have low testosterone levels, while a subset with high free testosterone may have polycystic ovary syndrome.

This study suggests that the testosterone analogs 7α-Methyltestosterone and 7α-Ethyltestosterone may offer promising androgenic, progestogenic, and anabolic properties for development as male contraceptives.

In this study, engineered mice with a mutation similar to that in Olmsted syndrome showed progressive hair loss due to impaired inner root sheath keratinocyte differentiation and stem cell exhaustion.

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.

This study found that adults with sickle cell anemia exhibited androgen deficiency due to primary testicular failure, and there was a significant correlation between erythrocyte zinc levels and serum testosterone.

This study found that androgenic steroids, particularly androstenedione and androstanedione, significantly reduced the growth of certain dermatophytes, suggesting hormonal influence on fungal infections in hair follicles.

This study presents a new LC-MS/MS method that allows for more accurate detection of seven steroid hormones in human hair, enhancing the specificity and reliability of hormone analysis in psychoneuroendocrinological research.

This article discusses the challenges in diagnosing female androgen insufficiency syndrome due to unreliable testosterone measurement methods but notes symptom improvement with testosterone therapy, emphasizing the need for women-specific formulations and safety guidelines.

This article discusses the development of a transdermal testosterone patch for postmenopausal women to deliver physiological testosterone levels but reports no new clinical results, highlighting a need for long-term safety data.

The document concludes that using LC-MS/MS for measuring androgens is more accurate than older methods, but it needs careful validation and standardized references to be most effective.

This review examines the methods and challenges in androgen laboratory diagnostics, discussing their advantages, limitations, and evolution; it presents no new experimental results.

This study found that women with polycystic ovary syndrome in China had elevated androgen levels compared to healthy controls, and suggests body weight management and SHBG and FAI testing are recommended for these women.

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 impact of hormones on female sexual function and dysfunction, highlighting the complexity and gaps in basic research, and reports no new clinical findings.

This article reviews the diagnosis of hyperandrogenism in PCOS, discussing its clinical and biochemical components, but reports no new clinical results.

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.

In castrated rats, this study found that triterpenoids from Ganoderma lucidum inhibited both types of 5α-reductase and reduced prostate growth linked to testosterone but not dihydrotestosterone.

This review discusses recent data on the use of anabolic-androgenic steroids and other steroid compounds and reports no new clinical results.

This study found that cortisol increases mac25/IGFBP-rP1 expression in osteoblast-enriched cells from fetal rat calvariae, indicating transcriptional regulation which may influence IGF and insulin effects in bone.

This study found that measuring reproductive hormone levels in brown bear hair may effectively support non-invasive genetic sampling, though larger samples or more sensitive techniques are needed for broader application.

In this study, treatment with flutamide combined with a low-dose oral contraceptive significantly improved hirsutism in women with polycystic ovarian disease who did not respond to oral contraceptive treatment alone.

This study explored how modifying the 8-substituent of 8-bromobenzoquinolinone affects its selectivity in inhibiting both 5 alpha-reductase isozymes in the scalp.

Saw palmetto extract can block the enzyme that converts testosterone in pig prostate cells.

This study found that LY320236 is a competitive inhibitor of type I and a non-competitive inhibitor of type II steroid 5alpha-reductase, indicating its potential as a dual inhibitor with differing modes of activity.

This content is not a research abstract; it includes a website navigation notice and no study findings.

This study identified 8-hydroxy germacrene B from Curcuma aeruginosa as a highly potent in-vitro 5-alpha reductase inhibitor with significant anti-androgenic activity, while exhibiting mild cytotoxicity on prostate cancer cells without affecting human dermal papilla cells at tested concentrations.

In this study, a dog with canine pattern alopecia showed improved multifocal alopecia and general hair regrowth after 3 months of melatonin treatment.

This study suggests that human skin locally synthesizes active sex steroid hormones, impacting inflammation, cell behavior, and wound healing, with potential implications for therapies in aging and impaired wound recovery.

This article outlines the clinical features, evaluation, and treatment strategies for androgen excess in polycystic ovary syndrome, highlighting important diagnostic and management approaches but reporting no new research results.

This article discusses the complexities of diagnosing PCOS and highlights the importance of early recognition and treatment to improve patient outcomes, despite often being overlooked.
