This study suggests that a mild intramuscular dose of botulinum toxin improved spermatogenesis and sperm parameters in ageing mice.

This study validated that both tape-based and image-based methods for measuring head crown areas, and the CASLite NOVA as well as Image-Pro software for hair count, showed acceptable agreement, supporting their interchangeable use in hair care research settings.

This study found that total testosterone and free testosterone are recommended as first-line tests for diagnosing biochemical hyperandrogenism in women with PCOS; liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry is preferred for its accuracy.

This review discusses genetic conditions linked to complete scalp alopecia in children, identifying six genetic causes, but reports no new clinical results.

This study suggests that congenital atrichia with papular lesions may be more common than previously thought and proposes diagnostic criteria including the observation of hypopigmented whitish streaks on the scalp.

This study found that spironolactone reduced serum androstenedione and anagen hair shaft diameter in hirsute patients but did not significantly alter unbound testosterone levels, suggesting its effects are primarily peripheral.

This study concluded that heterozygosity for CYP21 mutations is associated with higher mean and free testosterone levels in women but does not significantly increase their risk of developing clinically evident hyperandrogenism.

This meta-analysis confirmed associations between some androgenic and metabolic parameters in women with PCOS, suggesting that these measurements might help predict metabolic risk in this population.

This study found that among older men, lower calculated free testosterone was significantly associated with a higher risk of heart failure, suggesting a possible role of testosterone deficiency in heart failure incidence.

This study found that adding pioglitazone to either spironolactone or metformin improved metabolic parameters and insulin resistance in women with PCOS, despite an increase in BMI.

Hirsute women with ovarian-sourced hirsutism are more likely to have irregular periods, with higher BMI and altered hormone ratios.

This study found that a single intradermal injection of Hair Stimulating Complex significantly improved hair growth in men with androgenetic alopecia compared to placebo.

This study found that AiQingHua oil improved microcirculation and promoted hair regeneration in mice with testosterone-induced alopecia.

This case report describes a 34-year-old woman who, after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery, experienced improvements in symptoms of dizziness and energy following treatment with oral ferrous sulfate for iron deficiency.

This study found that young women with PCOS had normal thyroid function but showed alterations in lipid metabolism, which may predispose unmarried women in this group to cardiovascular diseases.

This study found that Traditional Chinese Medicine increased hair follicle numbers and improved hair growth metrics in androgenetic alopecia rodent models, suggesting potential benefits linked to reduced serum testosterone levels.

This study suggests that ethyl acetate extract of Equisetum debile may be effective for functional food and nutraceutical use due to its strong 5α-reductase, IL-6 inhibition, and lipid peroxidation activities without cytotoxic effects.

This article discusses expert responses to hair loss in women but reports no new research findings.

This case report illustrates that Systemic Lupus Erythematosus can lead to severe malabsorption, weight loss, and small bowel inflammation, requiring recognition for effective treatment and improved outcomes.

This study found that lifestyle interventions improved body composition, hyperandrogenism, and insulin resistance in women with PCOS, but did not affect glucose tolerance, lipid profiles, or clinical reproductive outcomes.

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 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 administering melatonin for 12 weeks to women with PCOS significantly reduced hirsutism, testosterone, and inflammation markers, while enhancing antioxidant levels compared to a placebo.

This study found that nafarelin treatment significantly reduced androgen levels and improved hirsutism symptoms in women, suggesting it may be useful for managing this condition.

This study found that an 8-month treatment with a low-dose oral contraceptive significantly reduced testosterone levels and hair growth in women with polycystic ovary syndrome and hirsutism, with minimal side effects.

This study reported that patients with acanthosis nigricans and insulin resistance exhibited higher insulin levels and were associated with increased insulin resistance correlating with serum testosterone levels.

This study found that medroxyprogesterone acetate treatment in women with PCOS reduced hyperandrogenism-related hormonal levels and improved skin conditions without affecting lipid or carbohydrate metabolism.

This study found that male liver cirrhosis patients have higher estradiol levels and lower dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate, leading to hormonal imbalances favoring estradiol, but without changing sex hormone-binding globulin's binding properties.

This study found that Indian women with PCOS following a vegetarian diet had higher pro-inflammatory and lower anti-inflammatory marker levels compared to age and BMI-matched non-vegetarian counterparts.

This study found that low levels of SHBG and testosterone were associated with higher mortality in men with severe COVID-19.
