This article reviews treatments for androgen-related skin disorders and discusses antiandrogens' doses, efficacy, and mechanisms, but reports no new clinical results.

This study provides a comprehensive analysis of anabolic-androgenic steroids, reporting that their use enhances muscle mass but is associated with significant health issues including cardiac muscle hypertrophy, liver disease, and changes in gender characteristics, emphasizing the need for patient awareness of these risks.

In this study, researchers found that steroidal 17β-carboxamides 1-4 significantly inhibited 5α-reductase enzyme activity and reduced prostate weight more effectively than finasteride in a hamster model, without toxic side effects, suggesting potential for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia.

This case report suggests that clomiphene citrate can effectively restore fertility in some men with a long history of anabolic steroid abuse, though individual responses to treatment vary.

This review discusses the presence of the StAR protein in 17 non-classical steroidogenic tissues, suggesting that advanced detection methods are needed for a complete understanding of its functions in these tissues.

This review examines the physiological, biochemical, and molecular mechanisms by which DHEA and DHEA-S influence various bodily systems, citing rodent studies, but presents no new clinical results.

This abstract reviews the use and effects of various antiandrogens, finding clinical benefits in treating hyperandrogenism in women and improvements in urinary symptoms or cancer management in men, but it reports no new clinical results.

This paper evaluates the therapeutic response of androgenetic alopecia to topical application of specific compounds using digital drug delivery but reports no new clinical results.

Lowering 3α,5α-THP in the hippocampus increases anxiety and depression in proestrous rats.

This study found that isotretinoin treatment in adolescents with nodulocystic acne may lead to changes in adrenal hormone levels, and hirsutism and menstrual irregularity can occur during treatment.

The woman's symptoms and tests suggest her adrenal glands are producing too many male hormones.

This study found that men with androgenic alopecia had significantly higher levels of certain urinary steroid metabolites, suggesting increased 5 alpha-reductase activity and possible mild hyperadrenal activity.

This study found that ethinylestradiol and high-dose cyproterone acetate significantly reduced hirsutism scores and were effective for treating acne and alopecia in women with hyperandrogenism.

This study reports the preparation of a key intermediate for finasteride and epristeride with a 69% overall yield from pregnenolone acetate.

This article is a letter to the editor about high-dose pulsed corticosteroid therapy combined with methotrexate for severe childhood alopecia areata and provides no new clinical results.

This study found that while the steroid mechanisms influencing androgenetic alopecia may be similar for men and women, differences in enzyme activity and receptor content could explain their varied clinical presentations.

This abstract introduces TrichoFoam™, a new foaming vehicle for compounding pharmacies, designed to be a gentle, non-irritating option for alopecia treatment, acknowledging that current topical treatments are limited and oral products may cause adverse effects.

This study evaluated current treatments for pediatric alopecia areata and found that high potency topical steroids had the strongest supporting evidence, with promising results also observed for anthralin ointment and other treatments in lower-grade studies.

This study found that girls with prepubertal simple hypertrichosis had significantly higher plasma levels of dihydrotestosterone compared to controls, which does not align with other androgen markers and warrants further investigation.

This article discusses the potency grading of steroid skin creams and highlights that very potent or potent steroids (grades I and II) can cause significant side effects, especially in children.

This paper reviews current knowledge about the structural formation and classification of steroid hormones, highlighting the importance of understanding their role in health and disease. It also identifies research gaps and suggests future studies to improve clinical practices and treatment plans.

This study found that sebaceous glands predominantly exhibit oxidative activity of the type 2 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase isozyme, which is not inhibited by 13-cis retinoic acid.

In this study, TASP0382088 showed potent selective inhibition of the ALK5 receptor, significantly reducing Smad2 phosphorylation in mouse skin following topical application.

This paper reviews Satoyoshi syndrome and suggests diagnostic criteria to differentiate its subtypes, emphasizing the importance of testing alopecia areata patients for antinuclear antibodies, muscle spasms, and diarrhea.

This case study reports that a 16-year-old girl with hirsutism and menstrual irregularities was diagnosed with a benign steroid cell ovarian tumor, after high testosterone levels indicated a potential androgen-secreting source.

AC-5216 reduces anxiety in mice through neurosteroids affecting GABAA receptors.

This study found that premenopausal exercising women with oligomenorrhea had lower triiodothyronine levels and truncal fat percentage compared to other groups, suggesting distinct energetic and reproductive profiles.
