This study highlights that anabolic steroid use is prevalent among bodybuilders in Sergipe, regardless of socioeconomic background, with many experiencing acute and chronic side effects.

This study found that administering testosterone to ovariectomized female rats decreased endometrial tight junction complexity and expression of specific proteins, potentially affecting embryo implantation.

This study found that in healthy men, higher levels of free testosterone were associated with a stronger immune response to the influenza vaccine, suggesting androgens may function as immunomodulators rather than strict immunosuppressants.

This study found that testosterone more accurately predicts PCOS diagnosis than 11-oxyandrogens, which were linked with hirsutism severity and showed varying responses to contraceptive and metformin treatments.

This study reviews the roles of sex steroid hormones, like estrogens, progestins, and testosterone, in influencing reproductive health and overall well-being, highlighting their impact on conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome and hypogonadism through their regulation by the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis.

In this pilot study, finasteride increased testosterone/dihydrotestosterone and progesterone/dihydroprogesterone ratios in normal ovulatory women but did not alter ovulation or gonadotropin secretion.

This study reported high analytical performance of an RMP for DHT quantification, with the ability to differentiate between 5α-DHT and 5β-DHT isomers, making it suitable for routine assay standardization and clinical sample evaluation.

This article discusses the need to investigate long-term effects of androgen manipulations independently of current levels, referencing Post-finasteride Syndrome as a relevant clinical example, and reports no new results.

This study found that experienced Australian prescribers of hormone therapy for transgender adults often follow international guidelines but highlight the need for better training and specific local guidelines.

This study observed that androgen levels rise with pubic hair development in Tanner stages, differing by sex and age, with DHEA showing a significant prepubertal increase especially in precocious adrenarche.

Men using steroids or finasteride to look more attractive may harm their fertility and sexual function, creating a paradox where they seem fit but may be less able to reproduce.

This study found that a single 2 ml injection of TEEV every 4 weeks offers similar beneficial effects with fewer side effects compared to injecting the same dose every 2 weeks in postmenopausal women.

This review outlines the significant roles of sex steroid hormones like estrogens, progestins, and testosterone in reproductive and overall health, and discusses how their imbalances are linked to various health conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome and reproductive cancers.

This study found that male 5α-reductase 2 knockout mice showed deficits in social dominance behaviors and reduced dopamine receptor binding in a brain region related to social ranking.

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 review discusses the role of skeletal muscle in synthesizing bioactive androgens, highlighting that intramuscular androgens may influence muscle via intracrine action, but their precise function remains unclear.

Finasteride may cause breast enlargement, low testosterone a risk factor.

This case report observed that hypogonadism and cold sensation resolved in a patient after discontinuing 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors, suggesting these medications may contribute to such symptoms.

This case study describes a rare instance of virilization during pregnancy in a woman with PCOS, with symptoms resolving post-delivery as testosterone levels normalized.

This review examines various androgen deprivation therapy methods for advanced prostate cancer, highlighting benefits and potential cardiovascular and sexual adverse effects, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that testosterone modulates vascular cell behavior through direct actions that do not rely on its conversion to estradiol.

This review discusses the expression of PSA in hormonally-regulated tissues and female malignancies, emphasizing its potential as a diagnostic biomarker and role in antidoping initiatives.

A woman got male pattern baldness from touching her husband's testosterone gel.

Finasteride effectively lowers specific hormone levels, helping monitor treatment progress.

In this study using the TriNetX Research Network, men with low serum testosterone levels were found to have an increased risk of developing an initial kidney stone, particularly in those aged 33-44, compared to men with normal testosterone levels.

This study highlights how sex steroids affect hair growth, reporting that testosterone used in masculinizing hormone therapy can lead to androgenetic alopecia in transgender individuals, while feminizing hormone therapy with estradiol and antiandrogens can reduce hirsutism.

This study found that lowering serum DHT levels with 5 mg finasteride daily did not significantly alter serum gonadotropin levels in healthy young men after 28 days.

This study found that newly synthesized steroidal trienones demonstrated stronger 5α-reductase inhibitory activity compared to dienones in various biological models, suggesting potential for developing enhanced antiandrogenic drugs.

This study found that late-onset hypogonadism is relatively common in male patients with long COVID, even among those under 50, and serum free testosterone measurement can help reveal this condition.

This article discusses the role of androgens in causing hirsutism and male pattern baldness in women and emphasizes the need for antiandrogen treatment to manage these conditions, without reporting new clinical results.
