This article discusses the newly approved drug dutasteride for managing benign prostatic hyperplasia, but reports no new research findings; the authors advise obtaining complete information before prescribing.

This study found that white wax and its extract significantly promoted hair growth in a mouse model of androgenetic alopecia, outperforming finasteride by inhibiting 5α-reductase activity and enhancing cellular proliferation.

This article discusses drugs with anti-androgenic effects and their mechanisms but reports no new research findings.

This study found that women with PCOS have higher activity of the enzyme 5alpha-reductase, which may contribute to their elevated androgen levels.

Antiandrogen therapy may help treat hidradenitis suppurativa.

This review discusses the role of finasteride preoperatively in reducing bleeding and complications during TURP and reports no new clinical results; the authors emphasize its potential benefits based on existing studies.

This study found that both finasteride and a regimen of cyproterone acetate plus ethinyl estradiol effectively reduced hirsutism in women, with similar results despite differing hormonal effects.

This study found that human beard hair follicles metabolize dehydroepiandrosterone into various compounds at significantly higher rates than those reported for human skin, suggesting unique metabolic processes in hair follicles.

This study found that progesterone significantly delayed epileptogenesis development in a mouse model, and its effects were inhibited by finasteride, highlighting the potential role of neurosteroids in modifying epilepsy progression.

This review discusses female androgen insufficiency syndrome and reports no new clinical results; the authors suggest that testosterone replacement may alleviate symptoms like loss of libido and fatigue.

This study found that testosterone may promote glioblastoma progression by being converted into dihydrotestosterone, which enhances cell proliferation, migration, and invasion in GBM cell lines.

This study reports that in a case of benign Brenner tumor, elevated androgens may originate from luteinized stromal cells, as these cells do not convert androgen to estrogen due to suppressed aromatase biosynthesis.

This chapter reviews the biosynthesis, mechanism of action, and therapeutic effects of testosterone and related androgens, but reports no new research findings.

This study found that supraphysiological and physiological androgen levels inhibited U937 macrophages' phagocytosis of MRSA compared to untreated controls, but AR antagonism reversed this effect, suggesting targeting AR or using 5alpha-reductase inhibitors might aid bacterial clearance in elderly males' chronic wounds.

This study found that extracellular vesicles derived from hyaluronic acid-stimulated induced pluripotent stem cells significantly improved hair growth in a model of androgenetic alopecia in mice by enhancing Wnt/β-catenin signaling and regulating androgen receptor activity, showing comparable results to the commonly used treatment finasteride.

In this case study, the authors observed that weight loss coupled with a brief use of oral contraceptives was associated with normalized testosterone levels in a woman with severe hyperandrogenism and PCOS.

This study reports that using ascorbic acid or orlistat can significantly inhibit the metabolism of testosterone esters into malodorous metabolites by axillary bacteria, suggesting potential new deodorant applications.

This article reviews studies on androgen hormone profiles in men with androgenetic alopecia and the effects of androgens and 5-alpha reductase on hair follicles, but provides no new findings.

Low-dose gonadotropin treatment is effective for infertility in women with PCOS, leading to high ovulation rates and comparable pregnancy rates with fewer complications.

This review discusses various drugs that can cause drug-induced acne, noting specific clinical and histopathologic features, but reports no new clinical findings.

This review discusses the use of hormonal therapies for managing acne vulgaris in adult women and reports no new clinical results, emphasizing the chronic and severe nature of acne in this population.

This review discusses the safety and efficacy of herbal remedies for managing PCOS, suggesting these treatments may improve symptoms like insulin resistance and menstrual irregularity with fewer side effects, but reports no new clinical results.

This review presents studies on plants used in Mexico to treat alopecia and reports no new clinical results.

African plum is linked to treating BPH and has economic benefits.

In this study, researchers developed a polyherbal serum using extracts from various herbs and tested it on rats with testosterone-induced alopecia, observing it potentially promotes hair growth and decreases androgen-induced hair loss, with results compared to a positive control using finasteride.

This study found that testosterone and its metabolite DHT reduced macrophage-mediated phagocytosis of bacteria like MRSA and P. aeruginosa in vitro, and blocking testosterone's conversion to DHT improved bacterial clearance, suggesting potential therapeutic strategies for combating wound infections in the elderly.

This article reviews mechanisms by which herbal ingredients may stimulate or inhibit hair growth, and it reports no new clinical findings while suggesting potential for developing hair loss treatments.

The document concludes that accurately identifying leukemia types is crucial, and the risks of cancer from finasteride need careful evaluation against its benefits.

This review discusses human sebocyte in vitro models for studying sebaceous gland function and control but reports no new clinical results, highlighting hormonal effects and the impact of retinoids on sebocyte activity.

This review discusses the pathways of androgen biosynthesis and reports no new findings, highlighting the need to understand the interplay between the classic and backdoor pathways.
