This study found that HBV infection altered steroid metabolism in male mice, significantly increasing levels of dehydroepiandrosterone and reducing dihydrotestosterone, which may suppress viral replication by affecting HBV promoter activity.

This review discusses sex and gender differences in COVID-19 presentation, treatment, and outcomes, and reports no new clinical findings.

This study updates guidelines for evaluating and managing male infertility, including revised testing recommendations for Y-chromosome microdeletions, use of pelvic MRI, and testicular sperm in nonazoospermic males.

This review discusses the diagnosis, management, and hormone treatment of transsexual individuals, and examines the risks and effects of cross-sex hormone therapy without presenting new clinical results.

This review discusses symptom-driven treatment approaches for PCOS, focusing on ovulation induction, androgen reduction, and weight management, and reports recent advances like recombinant FSH and GnRH-agonist protocols without providing new clinical results.

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 developed and validated a highly sensitive method using ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry for accurately analyzing nine neuroactive steroids in human serum, which could enhance understanding of disease pathophysiology and support new biomarker and therapeutic discovery.

This narrative review discusses the mixed and evolving evidence regarding glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) and their influence on erectile dysfunction in men with type 2 diabetes and obesity, highlighting potential benefits and concerns yet to be clarified.

This study describes a case of a 35-year-old woman who developed symptoms of hyperandrogenism and disrupted steroidogenesis due to chronic use of electronic cigarettes containing compounds similar to etomidate, despite no genetic mutation indicating 11β-hydroxylase deficiency.

In this study, Gardenia florida fruit extract promoted hair growth in vitro and in vivo by enhancing hair growth-promoting gene expression and increasing hair follicle number, size, and depth in mice.

This study found that the DKK3-CKAP4 signaling axis is involved in fibroimmune remodeling in androgenetic alopecia and that targeting this pathway may restore a regenerative hair follicle environment, offering a potential therapeutic strategy to counteract hair follicle miniaturization.

This study demonstrated that engineered exosomes carrying EGF and FGF restored hair density and follicle integrity in an androgenetic alopecia mouse model by reactivating hair follicle growth factors, offering a novel therapeutic approach without immunogenic reactions or systemic toxicity.

In this study, oral administration of ginsenoside Rf from Panax ginseng promoted hair regrowth and increased hair thickness in a mouse model of androgenetic alopecia by enhancing androgen receptor degradation, highlighting its potential for cosmetic and functional food applications.

In this study, low concentrations of DMSO were found to decrease androgen receptor expression and inhibit the migration of prostate cancer cells, suggesting potential as an anticancer therapy.

This study examined postmenopausal hyperandrogenism related to ovarian disease and found that specific biochemical markers can help differentiate between tumorous and non-tumorous cases, with a good level of sensitivity and specificity, supporting surgical intervention for resolution.

This article discusses the complex aetiology, diagnostic criteria, and challenges in diagnosing polycystic ovary syndrome, but does not report new clinical findings.

This report describes two cases of glucocorticoid resistance syndrome highlighting genetic diversity; one patient improved with low-dose dexamethasone despite negative genetic testing, while the other is monitored with a novel NR3C1 variant.

This review discusses the potential of P. polyphylla saponins to treat acne through antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, and antioxidant effects, noting that acne's complex pathogenesis makes this line of research promising for future studies.

This study found that botulinum toxin type A inhibited apoptosis in dermal papillary cells induced by dihydrotestosterone through the circ_0135062/miR-506-3p/Bax axis.

This study found that a 50% ethanol extract from marine green alga Chlamydomonas sp. W80 exhibited several bioactive properties, including skin lightening and hair growth promotion effects, with potential implications for bioenergy and high-value coproducts.

In this study, researchers found that a mixture of Saccharina japonica and Undaria pinnatifida (L-U mixture) promoted hair growth in mice comparably to 3% minoxidil. The L-U mixture stimulated hair growth-promoting genes and suppressed hair loss-related genes, suggesting its potential for hair loss treatments.

This study examined connections between bioelements like Zn, Cu, and Mn in serum and bone tissue and hormone concentrations in men with and without erectile dysfunction, highlighting potential relationships that may help explain ED's etiology.

This review discusses various aspects of polycystic ovary syndrome, including its prevalence, diagnosis, and treatment options, and reports no new empirical results.

This review explores different types of alopecia, the effects on hair appearance and growth, and the conventional treatments available, including minoxidil and finasteride, along with their side effects and the need for future drug development and potential therapies.

This analysis reports no significant differences between spironolactone and metformin for managing PCOS, noting spironolactone remains a potential off-label option for patients unable to use hormonal contraceptives, but larger studies are necessary to confirm its efficacy.

This narrative review reports that well-selected plant extracts and their active compounds may improve hair health by promoting hair growth and preventing hair loss, potentially aiding in developing targeted therapies for alopecia.

This case study reported a rare and delayed onset of alopecia in a patient after paclitaxel chemotherapy, potentially influenced by the interaction of thyroid hormones and chemotherapy affecting hair follicle cycles.

This paper reports a case of sebaceous carcinoma developing at the site of chronic candidiasis in a patient with keratitis–ichthyosis–deafness syndrome, without presenting new generalizable findings.

This article summarizes the MHRA report on finasteride and does not present new clinical findings.
