This review discusses the potential link between androgen deficiency and increased COVID-19 severity in aging men, but reports no new clinical results; it suggests that low testosterone levels may pose a risk factor.

Androstenedione, a hormone supplement, doesn't improve muscle or performance and can cause harmful side effects.

This study suggests that in gilthead seabream, DHT is involved in the onset of the meiotic phase of spermatogenesis and influences serum levels of E2 through regulation of aromatase activity.

This study found no significant differences in hormone levels between postmenopausal women with androgenetic alopecia and healthy controls, suggesting potential alternative causes for the condition.

Testosterone undecanoate caused hair loss; finasteride improved it but caused stomach issues for one patient.

This study found that male pattern baldness may serve as a clinical marker for circulating sex hormone levels in men with localized prostate cancer, while chest hair density showed no significant hormone association.

This study found that PRO 160/120 and Finasteride showed similar effectiveness in improving urinary symptoms and quality of life in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia over 48 weeks.

This study found that, among women with polycystic ovary syndrome, insulin resistance was significantly associated with an increased risk of depression, even after accounting for factors like BMI.

This review describes a practical approach for dermatologists to manage adult female acne using hormonal therapies and highlights the importance of identifying possible underlying endocrine disorders like PCOS, but it does not report new findings.

This study found that SDR5A1 gene expression was similar between hirsute women, normal women, and men, suggesting it may not explain differences in hair growth among these groups.

This study suggests that finasteride use is not significantly associated with a reduced risk of advanced hepatic fibrosis or inflammation in HCV-positive males, with ethnically-divergent findings for methadone requiring further investigation.

This case report details a postmenopausal woman with hyperandrogenism due to both adrenal adenoma and ovarian hyperthecosis, highlighting the effectiveness of hormonal suppression and venous sampling for diagnosis.

This study found that plasma protein binding significantly contributes to the shifts in glucocorticosteroid concentration ratios among blood, saliva, and hair, challenging prior assumptions about enzyme inactivation as the main factor.

This study found that among men with serum testosterone levels below 3.33 ng/mL, the prevalence of kidney stones was significantly higher, independent of other metabolic factors.

This study found that prostate cancer aggressiveness in men with obesity is associated with changes in age, BMI, testosterone, and estradiol levels, and that adipocyte-secreted molecules increase cancer cell aggressiveness in vitro.

This study found that testosterone contributed to increased arterial stiffness and cardiovascular damage in female mice, linked with decreased estrogen receptor expression, and suggests implications for women with polycystic ovarian syndrome or those taking testosterone.

This case study reported a 34-year-old woman presenting with secondary amenorrhea, hirsutism, and obesity showed elevated testosterone and anti-Müllerian hormone levels, leading to the exclusion of nonclassical congenital adrenal hyperplasia as a diagnosis.

This study found that testosterone significantly influenced the expression and function of certain ion transporters in the vas deferens, impacting fluid secretion and contributing to a suitable environment for male fertility.

This case report highlights that macro-TSH, a rare condition causing falsely elevated TSH despite normal thyroid hormone levels, can lead to misdiagnosis and unnecessary treatment; identifying TSH antibodies and fractionation chromatography can prevent incorrect management, as demonstrated in a 19-year-old patient.

This review discusses guidelines for androgen use in women and concludes that more research is needed before recommending testosterone due to insufficient evidence on safety and efficacy.

This study determined that the upper normal cut-off levels for free testosterone, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate, and total testosterone among reproductive-age women in China are 26 pmol/L, 4.92 μmol/L, and 2.39 nmol/L, respectively.

An 81-year-old woman's severe male hormone symptoms were caused by an ovarian tumor, which was treated with surgery.

Testosterone needs to be converted to DHT to reduce stress response in male rats.

This case report described a 62-year-old postmenopausal woman with hirsutism whose symptoms improved after a hysterectomy and bilateral oophorectomy, revealing bilateral ovarian hyperthecosis.

This review reports that transgender individuals undergoing hormonal therapy for gender transition face increased risks of cardiovascular disorders, brain tumors, changes in bone density, metabolic disorders, and other health issues, while highlighting the necessity of this therapy for gender transformation.

This case study reports that medical imaging of the ovaries may not always conclusively identify the cause of postmenopausal hyperandrogenism, as demonstrated by a patient with a rare condition.

This study highlights that lower testosterone in men and higher testosterone in women are linked to increased risks of metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes, with associated skin diseases indicating potential cardiovascular complications.

This case study reports a rare instance of a virilizing androgen-only secreting adrenal cortical adenoma in a 13-year-old, with symptom resolution after surgical removal.

This review discusses steroid cell tumors of the ovary, their hormone production, symptoms, and evaluation, emphasizing surgery as the key treatment approach; it reports no new clinical results.
