This study reported higher dihydrotestosterone and testosterone levels in balding Korean and Caucasian subjects compared to non-balding controls, with variations suggesting racial differences in androgen metabolism.

This study found that sex hormone-binding globulin promotes facial aging, while sex steroid hormones such as testosterone and estradiol inhibit it, with growth hormone levels showing no significant effect.

This study suggests that type I 5-alpha reductase may also play a role in hair growth, with dutasteride potentially being more potent than finasteride in modulating key hair growth gene expressions.

This case report highlights that uncommon ovarian tumors like sclerosal stromal tumors can cause hirsutism and virilization in postmenopausal women and lead to androgen secretion, despite typically being hormonally inactive.

This case report documents successful virilization, including penile length increase, in a boy with partial androgen insensitivity syndrome using high-dose testosterone combined with anastrozole.

This study found that ureteroileal anastomosis with direct intraluminal visualization had a 4.2% stricture rate, which compares favorably to other techniques with rates between 3.5% and 11.1%.

In this study, testosterone was found to increase the risk of arrhythmias in a rat heart model, while finasteride reduced this arrhythmogenic effect.

This pharmacovigilance study identified 19 drugs with high potential risk for causing male infertility, including hormonal agents, antineoplastic drugs, and antidepressants, emphasizing the need for fertility counseling and possible sperm cryopreservation in reproductive-age males before using such treatments.

This narrative review highlights that declining testosterone levels are a complex public health issue potentially influenced by modifiable lifestyle factors and environmental stressors, suggesting integrated strategies may be needed to address the trend's impacts on health.

The authors updated recommendations on diagnosing and treating women's sexual dysfunctions, emphasizing a comprehensive assessment approach, while noting the need for further multidisciplinary research.

New treatments for male hypogonadism are effective and should be personalized.

In this study, Ganoderma lucidum extract was found to significantly inhibit 5alpha-reductase activity and testosterone-induced prostate growth in rats, suggesting potential use for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia.

In castrated rats, this study found that triterpenoids from Ganoderma lucidum inhibited both types of 5α-reductase and reduced prostate growth linked to testosterone but not dihydrotestosterone.

This review examines the evaluation and management of hirsutism and hyperandrogenism in postmenopausal women and reports no new clinical findings.

This review discusses hormone replacement therapy for women with premature ovarian insufficiency, strongly recommending it for symptom relief and bone protection, but notes a lack of evidence on optimal types and doses.

This review discusses treatments for polycystic ovary syndrome, including lifestyle changes, oral contraceptives, and various medications, and reports no new clinical findings; the authors highlight the potential of statins and inositol for managing symptoms.

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

This study found that women with androgenetic alopecia and alopecia areata had significantly lower serum ferritin levels compared to women without hair loss.

This study found that among women above 15 years with acne, 54.56% exhibited hyperandrogenism, with dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate levels most frequently elevated.

This review examines the debated link between iron deficiency and nonscarring scalp alopecia in women, offering no new clinical results but emphasizing the need for further research and well-designed trials.

This article reviews existing knowledge on postmenopausal hyperandrogenism and highlights diagnostic challenges, reporting no new clinical results.

This study found that Ganoderma lucidum extracts showed weak 5alpha-reductase inhibition but significantly inhibited prostate cell proliferation and testosterone-driven prostate growth in rats, suggesting potential as an ingredient for treating androgen-induced diseases.

This study found that dihydrotestosterone (DHT) regulates the degradation of p27 in MCF-7 breast cancer and OVCAR-3 ovarian cancer cells, involving SKP2 as a key factor.

This article discusses the characteristics and potential consequences of polycystic ovarian syndrome, including its effects on fertility and risk for other health conditions, but it reports no new findings.

Over 50% of women over 50 experience hair loss, with minoxidil being the only proven effective treatment.

This article offers strategies for managing acne effectively and safely, emphasizing treatment optimization, patient tailoring, and addressing antimicrobial resistance, but reports no new clinical results.

Hair can indicate early signs of metabolic disorders, with issues like protein deficiency stopping hair growth.

This review addresses treatment approaches for female pattern hair loss, highlighting that combining different therapies may be more effective than single treatments, but no new results are reported.
