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.

This study found that male liver cirrhosis patients have higher estradiol levels and lower dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate, leading to hormonal imbalances favoring estradiol, but without changing sex hormone-binding globulin's binding properties.

This study suggests that young women with low prolactin levels may face higher cardiometabolic risk, and reducing cabergoline dosage reversed related metabolic disturbances.

This study found that Indian women with PCOS following a vegetarian diet had higher pro-inflammatory and lower anti-inflammatory marker levels compared to age and BMI-matched non-vegetarian counterparts.

This review discusses the potential of 4-azasteroids as 5α-reductase inhibitors for treating hirsutism, reporting their promising effects in animal studies but noting no clinical trials have been conducted yet.

This study found that Dutasteride, a 5α-reductase inhibitor, demonstrated neuroprotective effects by preventing the MPTP-induced decline of dopaminergic markers in a Parkinson's disease mouse model.

This guideline provides evidence-based recommendations for prescribing testosterone therapy to women with hypoactive sexual desire disorder, noting a moderate therapeutic benefit but highlighting limited data and regulatory challenges.

This study found that long-term dutasteride therapy in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia worsened erectile dysfunction, reduced testosterone levels, and increased blood glucose and lipid profile, indicating negative metabolic impacts.

This study found that several new pregnane derivatives, especially steroids 16 and 19, demonstrated higher antiandrogenic activity on male hamster models than the commonly used finasteride.

This review discusses various skin diseases with endocrinological origins and reports no clinical results, highlighting the need for interdisciplinary understanding in diagnosis.

This review discusses the role of shaving technology and specific skincare ingredients like glycerine and niacinamide in improving male facial skin health, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that phyto-vesicles of ß-sitosterol showed better absorption and improved activity for treating androgenetic alopecia in rats compared to the compound and its complex.

This study found that inhibiting 5α-reductase in molluscs provokes a specific shell morphology, suggesting gastropods might have unique 5α-reductase substrates absent in vertebrates.

This study observed that direct exposure to androgens in Western clawed frogs differentially affects thyroid receptor and deiodinase gene expression in male and female tissues, offering insight into sex-specific metabolic pathway activation.

This study in male mice found that testosterone provides strong protection against skin necrosis after ischemia, working through its estrogenic and androgenic derivatives to enhance skin survival and revascularization, with 17β-estradiol being notably more effective than dihydrotestosterone.

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

This review highlights men's cosmetic interests, focusing on maintaining a masculine appearance while managing scalp hair, facial lines, and other aging signs, but presents no new findings.

In this study of healthy men, low levels of testosterone and dihydrotestosterone were associated with higher body mass index, fat content, and insulin resistance, but their effects on lipid and glucose metabolism were similar in quality.

This review highlights the connection between sex hormones and metabolic dysfunction, emphasizing how conditions like male hypogonadism and female hyperandrogenism can increase the risk and severity of hepatic steatosis, which often progresses alongside metabolic syndrome and elevates mortality risks.

This review highlights surprising similarities between hair follicles and antler units, suggesting that a comparative study of their biology could benefit understanding in both areas without presenting new empirical 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 study found that cream ingestion increased NFκB activation in women with PCOS, which was associated with insulin resistance and higher ovarian androgen levels, regardless of obesity status.

This paper reviews the role of androgens in SARS-CoV-2 infection and their potential impact on disease severity, suggesting androgen-targeting strategies might influence outcomes, but reports no new clinical results.

This article reviews the role of testosterone in sexual health, supporting Testosterone Replacement Therapy as an effective treatment for Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder in postmenopausal women, though more research is needed on its long-term effects and applicability to premenopausal women.

This review discusses skin diseases related to contraceptive use, reporting potential issues with oral contraceptives and infrequent reactions to mechanical or barrier methods without new clinical findings.

This review discusses treatments for female sexual dysfunction in postmenopausal women, noting that the effectiveness of current pharmaceutical options is inconclusive and emphasizing the importance of individualized care.

This study provides a comprehensive analysis of anabolic-androgenic steroids, reporting that their use enhances muscle mass but is associated with significant health issues including cardiac muscle hypertrophy, liver disease, and changes in gender characteristics, emphasizing the need for patient awareness of these risks.

This investigation found that certain supplements, particularly whey protein isolate, growth hormones, and anabolic steroids, can negatively impact hair loss by affecting biochemical pathways.

Testosterone therapy can improve sexual function in women but long-term safety is unclear.

This study found that while rat models treated with letrozole and dihydrotestosterone exhibit altered sterol, leukotriene, and steroid hormone profiles similar to human PCOS, significant differences remain.
