This study found that intravaginal testosterone significantly improved sexual satisfaction and reduced dyspareunia in postmenopausal women using aromatase inhibitors, with no effect on urinary incontinence.

This literature review examined research on hair follicle biology and hair loss treatments, highlighting the potential of secretome-based therapies, which may enhance hair regeneration and address limitations of treatments like minoxidil and finasteride.

In this case study, researchers reported a 61-year-old postmenopausal woman with virilizing symptoms like hirsutism and voice deepening was found to have an androgen-secreting adrenal tumor, emphasizing the importance of considering this diagnosis in similar cases.

In this review, the role of DHT in male-type obesity and metabolic diseases is discussed, with increased levels potentially exacerbating cardiovascular disease risk; the paper reports no new results.

This case report describes an isolated DHEA-S secreting adrenocortical carcinoma in a 52-year-old woman who presented without typical hyperandrogenic symptoms.

This study demonstrates that Puerariae Lobatae Radix may regulate skin lipid metabolism by inhibiting sebaceous gland growth and reducing triglyceride secretion, highlighting its therapeutic potential for sebaceous gland-related conditions.

This study observed that the ethyl acetate extract of Equisetum debile showed high activity against 5α-reductase and lipid peroxidation with no cytotoxicity on dermal papilla cells.

In this case report, estrogen substitution therapy slightly increased hair volume in a 22-year-old patient with genetic predisposition to hair loss and alopecia caused by past treatment for leukemia, but hair loss returned after stopping the therapy.

This study found that testosterone, finasteride, and castration in rats decreased serum thyroxin levels, with testosterone also affecting body and prostate weights.

Testosterone needs to be converted to DHT to reduce stress response in male rats.

This review found that women with idiopathic hirsutism may have increased 5α-reductase activity, as indicated by elevated levels of a dihydrotestosterone-reduced metabolite, but more research is needed to confirm its clinical relevance as a biomarker.

This source reports that testosterone therapy may mildly improve sexual desire in women with sexual dysfunction but lacks long-term safety data and cannot be widely recommended, as no formulations are approved for women in most countries.

This study found that hair steroid analysis effectively detected increased hormone levels from both a single testosterone dose and laboratory-induced stress, revealing individual context factors like relationship status also impact hair hormone concentrations.

This case study observed that in four middle-aged men with ejaculation disorders, therapy with human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) alone or combined with recombinant follicle-stimulating hormone (rFSH) improved sexual desire, semen volume, and various other symptoms, although some experienced elevated estradiol levels and hair loss.

In this study, researchers found that while both beard and scalp dermal papilla cells release similar autocrine growth factors, only beard cells increased production and response with testosterone, suggesting these factors enhance androgen-induced hair growth.

In this study, Quercetin-loaded black seed oil nanoemulsion effectively mitigated testosterone-induced testicular oxidative stress and inflammation in rats undergoing exercise and restraint stress, with improved antioxidant levels and reduced inflammatory markers compared to other treatment groups.

This review examines the physiological role of androgen conjugates in cutaneous androgen metabolism and questions their association with hirsutism, without presenting new clinical findings.

This article reviews evidence on hyperinsulinemia and insulin resistance in women with polycystic ovary syndrome and evaluates therapeutic responses to insulin-lowering agents, reporting no new clinical findings.

This article reviews androgen excess and cardiometabolic risks in women, highlighting increased cardiovascular disease risk in those with polycystic ovary syndrome, but reports no new clinical results.

Women's ovarian hormones and adrenal androgens change throughout life, affecting hair loss and health.

This study found that sex differences in somatostatin biosynthesis in rat hypothalamic neurons develop between postnatal day 1 and 5, influenced by the conversion of testosterone to estrogen.

This case report identified ovarian hyperthecosis as the cause of recent-onset androgenic symptoms in a 73-year-old woman, which was confirmed by ovary removal and led to symptom improvement.

Finasteride significantly reduces DHT levels in male dogs without affecting testosterone levels, suggesting it could be used to treat benign prostatic hypertrophy in dogs weighing 10 to 50 kilograms.

This study found that PSA concentrations in peripheral blood are related to androgen levels, suggesting that PSA is a valuable marker for diagnosing hyperandrogenism in women.

This case report describes a rare instance of virilizing androgen production due to an ovarian serous cystadenoma in a 59-year-old woman, with testosterone levels normalizing after its removal.

This case report describes an obese young adolescent girl with PCOS who presented with high testosterone levels and severe hyperinsulinemia, successfully treated with continuous combined oral contraceptives.

A woman's hair loss was caused by her husband's testosterone gel and a diabetic man's nail disease led to bone infection, both treated successfully.

Hair loss improved after removing pituitary tumor.

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.

This review discusses sex differences in the neuroendocrine response to stress, focusing primarily on rodent studies, and highlights open questions about the roles of gonadal hormones and sex chromosomes.
