Coconut oil boosts testosterone but doesn't fully trigger reproductive maturity in pufferfish.

In this study, researchers found that female COVID-19 patients experiencing hair loss had higher testosterone levels and lower Vitamin D levels than healthy controls, suggesting these hormonal factors may play a role in post-COVID-19 hair loss.

In this case report, a male patient with hair loss showed unusually high testosterone levels without other symptoms or supplement use; follow-up testing revealed normal levels, showcasing the importance of considering testosterone-protein binding differences and using equilibrium dialysis for accurate assessment.

In this study on Swiss albino mice, researchers reported that perilla leaf extract stimulated hair growth similarly to minoxidil, counteracting hair loss induced by testosterone injections.

In this study, researchers observed increased hormone levels such as testosterone and LH in both obese and non-obese women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, but concluded that the enzyme 3βHSD shows poor diagnostic value for PCOS compared to healthy women.

This study developed a testosterone-induced androgenetic alopecia model in BALB/c mice, finding that a 0.075 ml testosterone injection best replicated the dermal and hair follicle conditions of AGA patients, providing a promising tool for future drug testing and research into AGA therapies.

This study found that 1′S-1′-acetoxychavicol acetate from Alpinia galanga inhibits Nox isozymes and suppresses testosterone-induced hair loss in a mouse model of androgenetic alopecia.

This study reported that there are no standardized guidelines for managing testosterone-induced acne vulgaris and androgenic alopecia in transmasculine or non-binary individuals undergoing gender-affirming hormone therapy, highlighting gaps in dermatology trainees’ preparedness to care for this population.

In this study, 1'-S-1'-acetoxychavicol acetate (ACA) from Alpinia galanga showed potential in suppressing testosterone-induced hair loss by inhibiting Nox isozymes in a mouse model of androgenetic alopecia.

In this study, researchers found no significant differences in the serum levels of DHEAs, DHT, and testosterone between female patients with oral lichen planus and healthy controls, suggesting no neuroendocrine etiology is associated with this condition.

This review discusses the complex causal relationships between testosterone exposure and various health outcomes, but notes that the studies reviewed show substantial heterogeneity.

In this study, researchers observed that Cuscuta reflexa extract mitigated inflammation and oxidative stress in testosterone-induced benign prostatic hypertrophy in Wistar rats, suggesting its potential as an adjunctive therapy for BPH.

In this study conducted at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, researchers reported that males with androgenetic alopecia had significantly higher levels of serum LH, prolactin, testosterone, DHEA-S, and free androgen index, and lower levels of serum FSH and SHBG compared to those without hair loss.

In this study, female rats given high doses of testosterone showed decreased endometrial thickness and lower mRNA levels of components in the LIF signalling pathway, indicating that excessive testosterone may negatively impact endometrial receptivity and potentially affect fertility.

This study found that women undergoing mid-trimester termination of pregnancy exhibited increased cumulative cortisol and testosterone levels in hair samples, higher anxiety, but better stress coping strategies two months post-abortion, suggesting hair testosterone may be linked to emotional vulnerability such as neuroticism during this period.

In this study, 2′‐Fucosyllactose (2′‐FL) administration significantly reduced hair loss and increased hair length and thickness in a testosterone-induced androgenic alopecia mouse model, suggesting potential as a therapeutic agent for AGA.

This study found that hair steroid analysis effectively detected increased hormone levels from both a single testosterone dose and laboratory-induced stress, revealing individual context factors like relationship status also impact hair hormone concentrations.

This study found that administering a supraphysiological dose of testosterone to female rats significantly reduced estrogen and progesterone levels, disrupted sex steroid receptor expression, and interfered with the embryonic implantation window, indicating potential implications for androgen-related endometrial conditions.

This mini review explores the potential of herbal testosterone 5α-reductase inhibitors for treating androgenetic alopecia, suggesting they might offer fewer side effects and better tolerability than traditional treatments like finasteride and minoxidil.

In this systematic review, researchers observed that Toxoplasma gondii infection is associated with alterations in testosterone levels, generally increasing in humans but showing mixed effects in animals, highlighting a complex relationship that warrants further investigation.

This study found that administering testosterone increased the expression of sexual behavior and elevated serum testosterone and DHT levels in female capuchin monkeys, hinting at potential insights into testosterone use and its risks in humans.

This study found that administering an alcoholic extract of Mentha spicata leaves significantly reduced testosterone levels and aggressive behavior in female rats with elevated testosterone, suggesting its potential protective role against such symptoms.

This review summarizes the latest evidence on testosterone, detailing its clinical indications, diagnostic tests, and impacts on various male organs, while also noting its association with aging, metabolic disorders, and increased mortality risk due to androgen deficiency.

This study found that Nephelium lappaceum extract restored hair growth more effectively than finasteride in mice with testosterone-inhibited hair growth, suggesting its potential as a nutraceutical for hair growth.

This study observed that in spontaneously hypertensive rats, testosterone's effects on endothelium-dependent vasodilation involved reduced nitric oxide levels, increased oxidative stress, and greater reliance on endothelium-dependent hyperpolarization, with variations in these responses noted when testosterone was combined with either anastrozole or finasteride.

This research indicates that androgens may drive hidradenitis suppurativa in some patients, as they show higher testosterone levels compared to nonaffected controls, and testosterone-lowering medications are established treatments for milder cases.

This study found significant gender differences in total testosterone and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate levels among noncritical COVID-19 patients, which were associated with severity markers in males.

This study investigated the effects of Akkermansia muciniphila on testosterone-induced hair growth inhibition in mice, finding that both live and pasteurized forms significantly encouraged hair growth and increased hair follicle size and growth factor levels compared to testosterone treatment alone.

This study reported no association between higher serum testosterone or dihydrotestosterone levels and the incidence or progression of lower urinary tract symptoms in asymptomatic or symptomatic men in the REDUCE trial, challenging the belief that elevated androgens contribute to these symptoms.

In this case report, a post-menopausal woman with symptoms such as hirsutism and elevated testosterone underwent surgery, which revealed hormonally active ovarian cellular fibromas, leading to symptom resolution and normalized hormone levels; the authors suggest further exploration of these tumors' hormonal effects.
