This review examines existing research on transdermal testosterone for treating hypoactive sexual desire disorder, suggesting it improves female sexual function with minimal side effects but highlights the need for more long-term safety data.

This case study reports that low-dose testosterone therapy improved libido and sexual functions in a 36-year-old fragile X carrier female with hypoactive sexual desire disorder when monitored regularly for lab parameters.

This study systematically reviewed the use of topical testosterone products such as creams, gels, and patches, finding they effectively raise serum testosterone but pose significant systemic risks like acne and gynecomastia, necessitating careful medical oversight.

Testosterone's role in women's sex drive is unclear and needs more research, as low levels don't always mean less sexual interest and high levels can cause side effects.

This study found that free testosterone levels were a more sensitive indicator of hyperandrogenism in women with acne than total testosterone levels.

This study found that pregnane derivatives with higher lipophilicity, like compound 9d, had stronger androgen receptor binding and greater antiandrogenic effects in rats, correlating relative binding affinity with log P values.

This study found that aliphatic ester moieties in 16-formyl-17-methoxy dehydroepiandrosterone derivatives increased their potency as 5α-reductase type 2 inhibitors in vitro compared to finasteride.

This study found that after application of a testosterone cream containing 17α-methyltestosterone and testosterone propionate, these compounds could be detected in dried blood spots up to 97 hours post-application, potentially leading to sample contamination during fingertip puncture.

This article discusses Serenoa repens (Saw palmetto) for preventing and treating androgenic alopecia, highlighting its phytosterols' role and lack of side effects but reports no new clinical results.

This study found no support for the idea that male-pattern baldness in female-to-male transsexuals indicates an increased risk of coronary heart disease through androgenic effects on classic risk factors.

This study developed a sensitive and specific method for detecting testosterone in horse hair, finding trace amounts in samples for up to five months after administering a single dose.

This review examines the benefits and potential risks of androgen replacement therapy for male hypogonadism but reports no new clinical results; the authors highlight the need for careful risk assessment, especially in older men.

This study suggests that DHT may have a less potent effect on the prostate compared to testosterone while maintaining safety and similar effects on erythropoiesis and lipids.

Different drugs are used to manage breeding, prevent or end pregnancy, and treat reproductive issues in dogs and cats.

This study found that local androgen biosynthesis and metabolism in human sebaceous glands play a crucial role in sebum synthesis and secretion.

This study introduced a novel nonsteroidal androgen receptor antagonist that effectively controls sebum production in the golden Syrian hamster ear model through targeted follicular delivery.

This study found that among the tested analogs, compound 4e was the most effective in inhibiting wax esters in vivo in the Golden Syrian hamster ear model.

This study identified potent dual inhibitors of 5α-reductases 1 and 2 that may aid in designing new drugs for related diseases.

This review discusses phenotypic differences in testosterone production between mice and humans with HSD17B3 deficiency and reports no new findings; the authors highlight potential pathways and enzymes involved in testosterone synthesis.

Diphenyl ethers can potentially reduce excess oil production when applied on the skin, helping treat conditions like acne.

This study identified pantolactam based compounds as effective topical antagonists of the androgen receptor, reducing sebum components in a hamster model.

The document concludes that sex hormones are crucial for mammalian reproduction, health, and behavior, and require more research for therapeutic use.

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia may be caused by changes in how the body processes male hormones.

This review discusses diagnostic criteria for polycystic ovary syndrome and highlights the challenges and risks of misdiagnosing women with other hyperandrogenism causes; it reports no clinical results.

This study found that co-administering glucocorticoids with 5α-reductase inhibitors exacerbated the adverse metabolic effects of glucocorticoids in healthy men.

This review discusses the presence of undeclared substances, including androgenic steroids, in sports supplements and emphasizes potential health risks, without providing new results; it advises caution and consultation on supplement use.

TR3 is mainly found in hair follicle stem cells and may be involved in hair loss.

This study found that testosterone significantly influenced the expression and function of certain ion transporters in the vas deferens, impacting fluid secretion and contributing to a suitable environment for male fertility.

In this study, children with 5-alpha-reductase deficiency and micropenis treated with oral testosterone undecanoate showed increased penile length to a target level after 3-9 months, with no severe adverse effects observed, suggesting the treatment's safety and efficacy.

This paper reviews current knowledge about androgens' role in androgenic alopecia and female hirsutism but presents no new clinical findings.
