This case report emphasizes the importance of recognizing non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia as a cause of hyperandrogenism and the need for genetic counseling given potential familial implications.

In this case study, the researchers reported that treating a woman with type B insulin resistance using rituximab, dexamethasone, and cyclophosphamide greatly reduced her insulin needs, but her hyperandrogenic state persisted, suggesting ovarian hyperthecosis.

This study found no correlation between plasma androgen levels and androgenetic alopecia in women, suggesting that increased androgen action may not be reflected in these parameters.

This study found that the severity of female pattern hair loss in premenopausal women was associated with clinical signs of hyperandrogenism, such as hirsutism and acne, but not with biochemical parameters.

This article is a promotional piece about the MaasaLong supplement, which is claimed to improve male health concerns like erectile dysfunction, with no new empirical research results reported.

This scoping review evaluates the connection between hypoxia and declining sex hormonal signaling in middle-aged individuals, proposing a "middle-aging hypovascularity hypoxia hypothesis" as a potential mechanism influencing age-related diseases, with implications for developing strategies to maintain healthspan.

This article discusses the potential role of probiotics and synbiotics in managing hirsutism through insulin resistance but reports no new clinical results, calling for further research.

This study explored the effects of MOTILIPERM on infertility in a rat model with varicocele and oxidative stress, reporting its potential therapeutic efficacy.

This case report illustrates a rare instance of mixed germ cell tumor in the pituitary with hyperandrogenism, emphasizing the importance of thorough examination and hormone evaluation in identifying hormonal dysfunctions.

In this case report, a transgender woman with refractory epilepsy began estrogen therapy for gender-affirming purposes, experiencing stable epilepsy and reduced gender dysphoria through ongoing multidisciplinary care, highlighting the importance of careful management for similar patients.

This case report highlights the challenge of differentiating between non-classical adrenal hyperplasia and steroid cell tumors of the ovary in a patient presenting with hyperandrogenism.

In this study, hirsute women with normal or medically normalized testosterone levels experienced similar, though declining, hair reduction from both intense pulsed light and long-pulsed diode laser treatments over six months.

This study found that testosterone propionate increased hair mass in female hamsters' flank organs, while cyproterone acetate applied topically reduced androgen-stimulated hair in a dose-dependent manner.

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 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 testosterone significantly stimulated the proliferation of outer root sheath cells when co-cultured with beard or axillary dermal papilla cells, but not with cells from occipital scalp hair follicles.

In this study, cyproterone acetate was found to be effective in treating 'idiopathic' hirsutism, while a combination of ethinyloestradiol and lynoestrenol reduced hair growth in fewer patients despite uniformly lowering testosterone levels.

This article discusses whether testosterone's metabolism to 5α-dihydrotestosterone is necessary for androgenic effects in the skin but reports no new experimental results.

This review discusses the use of anabolic-androgenic steroids in sports and outlines current methods for detecting urinary steroid doping, particularly testosterone, but reports no new experimental findings.

This review examines existing research on transdermal testosterone for treating hypoactive sexual desire disorder, suggesting it improves female sexual function with minimal side effects but highlights the need for more long-term safety data.

This study found that both Clomiphene Citrate and Human Chorionic Gonadotropin were effective in restoring testosterone levels in men with hypogonadism, as demonstrated in a short-course randomized study.

This study found that a low dose of finasteride over 12 weeks did not alter the lipid profile or adiposity index in atheroprone Ldlr−/− mice.

In this study, testosterone and finasteride were found to increase insulin and zinc levels while decreasing chromium levels in male adult rats, suggesting potential effects on the glucose cycle.

This study found that Cacumen platycladi extract significantly promoted hair growth and reduced dihydrotestosterone levels by inhibiting 5α-reductase activity in an androgen-sensitive mouse model.

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 developed a validated method to detect prohibited drugs in dietary supplements, finding minoxidil, triaminodil, and finasteride in some samples.

This study found that methanolic extract of Cordia plathytyrsa increased testosterone levels in male rats but did not affect other evaluated metabolic parameters.

Randomized trials reported that testosterone therapy improved sexual function in postmenopausal women with hypoactive sexual desire disorder, particularly those who had undergone oophorectomy, with reversible and well-tolerated side effects.

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 replacement can help menopausal women with various symptoms, but should be used carefully and is not yet officially licensed in the UK for women.
