This case report highlights Leydig cell hyperplasia as a rare cause of increased testosterone and postmenopausal hirsutism, resolved after bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy in a 64-year-old woman.

This study found that among transgender men undergoing long-term testosterone therapy, a severe pattern of androgenetic alopecia may indicate increased arterial stiffness, as measured by higher intima-media thickness of the carotid artery.

The researchers reported a case of falsely elevated testosterone in a teen, due to immunoassay interference, demonstrating that liquid chromatography tandem-mass spectrometry provides more accurate testosterone measurement, emphasizing the need for thorough analysis when clinical results are inconsistent.

In this case report, significantly elevated testosterone levels were documented in a young female with Type A Insulin Resistance Syndrome, marking a clinical finding beyond what is typically associated with the disorder's known mutations.

The researchers reported that using Natesto® testosterone gel improved erectile function and mood in hypogonadal men over a 90-day period.

This study suggests that testosterone may reduce knee joint range of motion by acting on relaxin receptors in rats, while flutamide and finasteride counteracted this effect and increased receptor expression.

In this retrospective chart review, researchers observed that estrogen monotherapy effectively suppressed testosterone levels below 50ng/dL in all transfeminine patients studied, particularly those using injectable formulations, though the small sample size and ongoing data collection limit these findings.

In this retrospective study, among transfeminine patients aged 19-81 receiving gender-affirming estrogen therapy, 100% achieved testosterone suppression without anti-androgens when serum estradiol exceeded 100pg/mL, predominantly using injectable estrogen.

This study reviewed the preferences and reasons for testosterone injection therapy among 53 Canadian men with hypogonadism, finding that most opted for injections due to efficacy, ease, and cost considerations.

In this controlled registry study, 8 years of testosterone therapy in hypogonadal men led to a significant decrease in waist circumference, weight, and BMI compared to those without the therapy.

Hormone treatment caused hair loss, finasteride helped regrowth.

This study analyzed 19 articles and found that vitamin D significantly improved the hormonal profile in women with PCOS, with greater effects observed after 8-week interventions compared to 12-week ones.

This study identified that biotin ingestion led to interference in immunoassay results, falsely indicating high testosterone and insulin levels in a 28-year-old female patient, thus complicating her clinical assessment and treatment planning until recognized and resolved.

This case study describes a man with long-standing alopecia universalis who experienced hair regrowth after taking testosterone, chorionic gonadotropin, and DHEA-S.

This review discusses management strategies for sexual side effects of aromatase inhibitors in postmenopausal breast cancer patients and reports no original clinical findings.

This article reviews dietary recommendations for managing polycystic ovary syndrome and provides evidence that diet changes can improve the androgen profile in affected women, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study found that supplementing myo-inositol with microlipodispersed magnesium significantly improved acne and hirsutism in women with PCOS by reducing BMI, testosterone, and DHEAS levels, also enhancing quality of life without side effects, over 6 months.

This study observed that hirsutism, alopecia, and acne are the most common androgenic symptoms in women with PCOS, with treatments including biotin, minoxidil, and over-the-counter acne medications.

Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) worsens heart enlargement, and blocking it may help prevent heart issues.

This review examines the role of androgens and androgen receptors in regulating glucose and lipid metabolism, focusing on their effects on mitochondrial content and function; it also discusses the sex-dimorphic influence of androgens and provides theoretical insights into their mechanisms.

This study reports that incomplete information in a reverse supply chain can lead to efficiency losses, but a two-part tariff contract for the remanufacturer may improve performance by eliciting private information from collectors.

This study describes molecular mechanisms explaining how sex and stress steroids rapidly modulate dendritic spine formation in hippocampal neurons, suggesting recovery-like effects under steroid-depleted conditions compared to intact conditions.

Recent hair loss research shows some progress, especially in understanding male pattern baldness, but effective treatments for many types of hair loss are still lacking.

This case report describes a 30-year-old male with a late diagnosis of Kallmann's syndrome, highlighting the necessity of hormonal therapy to reduce the risk of osteoporosis and bone fractures despite the patient's acceptance of his physical appearance.
