This review highlights the potential therapeutic applications of nandrolone, an anabolic steroid, for male health, but notes that more human studies are needed due to limited existing literature.

Testosterone boosts fluid and electrolyte secretion in seminal vesicles, aiding sperm function.

This review examines the scientific evidence on the short-term safety of testosterone therapy for treating hypoactive sexual desire disorder in women, without presenting new clinical results.

This study found that combining oral testosterone with dutasteride increased testosterone bioavailability in hypogonadal men while suppressing dihydrotestosterone levels over a 28-day period.

This study found that formalin-induced pain in rats nearly eliminates testosterone in the brain and spinal cord by likely increasing 5α-reductase activity, but normalizes serum levels after 24 hours.

In this study, testosterone and certain metabolites were highly effective in promoting sebaceous structure growth in the female hamster flank organ, while others had limited or no effect.

This study found that testosterone replacement therapy, especially intramuscular administration, significantly increased PSA levels compared to placebo, while a significant correlation between PSA and testosterone was observed in non-BPH patients.

This study found that administering testosterone to ovariectomized female rats decreased endometrial tight junction complexity and expression of specific proteins, potentially affecting embryo implantation.

This study found that transgender men using testosterone therapy had higher rates of acne and increased body hair growth, resembling male patterns more closely than those not on testosterone.

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.

In this study, testosterone and dehydroepiandrosterone in children's hair were strongly correlated, supporting hair as a potential method for measuring these hormones.

This study found that variations in sleep patterns, free testosterone, and 5-alpha-reductase type 1 activity are associated with changes in sebum excretion in women, which may contribute to variability in acne studies.

In this study, co-administration of finasteride with oral testosterone undecanoate in young men with induced hypogonadism had no significant effect on serum testosterone or dihydrotestosterone levels, likely due to TU's unique absorption route.

This study found that a 400-mg dose of oral testosterone with dutasteride increases serum testosterone levels for 8–10 hours in hypogonadal men, with the nanomilled formulation unaffected by food, suggesting a practical twice-daily therapy option.

This article reviews the limited evidence on testosterone therapy for premenopausal women and notes a lack of long-term safety and effectiveness data for this population.

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 the non-steroidal antiandrogen RU58841 increased hair growth rates and promoted hair cycle initiation in balding human scalp grafts on testosterone-conditioned nude mice, indicating a positive effect on hair growth.

In this study of HIV+ men with low CD4 and testosterone levels, testosterone replacement therapy significantly improved sexual interest, erectile functioning, and sexual satisfaction over an eight-week period.

High doses of cyclosporine A increase testosterone conversion, possibly boosting hair growth.

In this study, PGD2 was shown to increase testosterone production in human keratinocytes through reactive oxygen species, suggesting potential benefits of antioxidants like N-acetyl-cysteine for AGA patients.

This study found that the total testosterone/dihydrotestosterone ratio correlates with a negative metabolic profile in both women with PCOS and healthy women.

In this study, testosterone was reported to increase aquaporin levels and water reabsorption in the kidneys of male rats, potentially leading to higher blood pressure, with effects mitigated by flutamide and finasteride.

This study found that applying 2.5% testosterone gel increased facial terminal hairs in young males with beta-thalassemia major and was well tolerated.

This case report describes a 60-year-old postmenopausal woman with virilization and hirsutism caused by hilus-cell hyperplasia, which was confirmed following bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy.

This study found that canine dermal papilla cells and fibroblasts metabolize androgens differently than human hair follicle cells, indicating species-specific differences in androgen metabolism.

Testosterone, DHT, and estradiol significantly affect hair cell growth.

In this study, prolonged intravenous Fenoterol infusion was associated with intensive hair growth in most patients, although hormonal changes typically linked to such effects were not observed.

This study concluded that both vaginal TEST and Estring may be effective for treating vaginal dryness in breast cancer patients on aromatase inhibitors, with adverse events being rare and manageable.

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.

In this study, long-term normalization of testosterone levels in postmenopausal women with hyperandrogenism did not improve body mass index, glucose, or lipid metabolism.
