Diagnosing sex development disorders requires combining medical history, physical exams, imaging, lab tests, and genetic data.
research Endocrinology Overview RSS
The document explains how male reproductive hormones work and affect the body.
research Sexually dimorphic effect of progesterone and its reduced metabolites on the gene expression of myelin proteins in rat Schwann cells
Progesterone and its metabolites affect myelin protein expression differently in male and female rat Schwann cells.
research Androgenic Alopecia
The document concludes that treating female hair loss should target reducing excess androgen and blocking its effects on hair follicles, with the best treatments being hormonal therapy, adrenal suppression, and topical minoxidil.
research Androgen sensitivity gateway to COVID ‐19 disease severity
Men's sensitivity to male hormones might affect how severe COVID-19 gets for them.
research Nonclassic congenital adrenal hyperplasia and the heterozygote carrier
Identifying nonclassic congenital adrenal hyperplasia and carriers of CYP21 mutations is challenging, and genetic counseling is recommended due to their prevalence.
research Simultaneous Determination of Selected Steroids with Neuroactive Effects in Human Serum by Ultrahigh-Performance Liquid Chromatography–Tandem Mass Spectrometry
A new method accurately measures nine neuroactive steroids in small blood samples, helping to study brain diseases.
research Follicular Fluid: A Powerful Tool for the Understanding and Diagnosis of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Analyzing follicular fluid can help predict and improve outcomes for women with PCOS undergoing fertility treatments.
research Human Skin is a Steroidogenic Tissue: Steroidogenic Enzymes and Cofactors Are Expressed in Epidermis, Normal Sebocytes, and an Immortalized Sebocyte Cell Line (SEB-1)

research Serum elevation of dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate associated with male pattern baldness in young men
High DHEA-S levels may cause hair loss in young men.
research The profile of steroid hormones in human fetal and adult ovaries
Fetal ovaries produce different hormones than adult ovaries, and endocrine-disrupting chemicals may affect this process.
research Is Dihydrotestosterone a Classic Hormone?
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) mainly affects nearby cells, doesn't significantly change prostate hormonal environment or cancer risk, and doesn't play a main role in causing hair loss or acne. More research is needed on its effects on heart health, sexual function, and bone health.
research Treatment of Nonclassic 11-Hydroxylase Deficiency with Ashwagandha Root
Ashwagandha root improved symptoms of nonclassic 11-hydroxylase deficiency in an elderly woman.
research Rare Conditions of Hyperandrogenism Through Lifespan: A Case Series
Accurate diagnosis of rare hyperandrogenism conditions requires detailed testing and sometimes invasive procedures.
research SAT-224 Polycystic Ovary Syndrome with Adrenal Hyperandrogenemia and Refractory Hirsutism
Glucocorticoid treatment lowered androgen levels but didn't improve hirsutism or ovulation and caused weight gain.
research Baicalin inhibits recruitment of GATA1 to the HSD3B2 promoter and reverses hyperandrogenism of PCOS
Baicalin may help reduce excessive male hormone levels in PCOS.
research A quantitative ultra-performance liquid chromatography high-resolution mass spectrometry analysis of steroids from human scalp hair
The method can measure multiple steroids in human hair to study long-term steroid metabolism, especially in newborns and children.
research ENZYMES
Enzymes are classified into six types and are essential for many biological processes, with only a few targeted by drugs.
research Intracrine androgen biosynthesis, metabolism and action revisited
The document concludes that blocking the internal pathways that create androgens might help treat cancers that depend on sex hormones.
