In this case report, significant improvements in a 58-year-old male with severe refractory myasthenia gravis and concurrent alopecia areata were observed following a cortisone taper, suggesting a potential therapeutic role, especially after thymectomy.

This historical review traces the discovery of 5-alpha reductase inhibitors, widely used in urology, from the study of guevedoces, Dominican children with a rare disorder leading to significant androgenization at puberty.

This article discusses the preparation of tritium-labeled testosterone metabolites and reports no new experimental findings.

This study found that cubosomes combined with dissolving microneedles enhanced transdermal penetration and hair growth efficacy of beta-sitosterol for treating alopecia.

Male and female mice have different skin thickness, and hormones affect their skin and hair growth differently.

This review examines the diverse roles of SRD5α enzymes across species, focusing on their involvement in steroid synthesis, sexual development, and various physiological processes, but reports no new clinical results.

This case study reports that carbimazole therapy led to significant hair regrowth and a drop in thyrotropin receptor antibody levels in an 11-year-old girl diagnosed with alopecia areata and Graves' disease.

This study found that trichothiodystrophic hair shows reduced and disoriented protein deposition in follicles, with both the cuticle and cortex affected, providing localized structural insights into keratin abnormalities.

In this study, hirsute women treated with cyproterone acetate and ethinyloestradiol experienced significant reductions in sebum secretion and hair growth after several months.

This study suggests that inhibitors of steroidogenic enzymes may have therapeutic potential for certain behavioral disorders linked to dopaminergic hyperfunction, despite concerns about their endocrine impacts.

In this study, testosterone and certain metabolites were highly effective in promoting sebaceous structure growth in the female hamster flank organ, while others had limited or no effect.

This study found that Iraqi male bodybuilders abusing anabolic androgenic steroids experienced significant changes in sex hormones, liver and kidney function, and lipid profiles compared to non-AAS-using controls.

In this study of immature male albino rats on a vitamin B12-deficient diet, vitamin B12 supplementation improved body, hair, and thymus growth more effectively than aureomycin when countering the negative effects of cortisone.

Sex steroids, especially progesterone, can slow down the growth of mouse melanoma cells.
