research International Society for the Study of Women's Sexual Health Clinical Practice Guideline for the Use of Systemic Testosterone for Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder in Women
Testosterone can help premenopausal and postmenopausal women with low sexual desire, but its long-term safety is unclear and it's not widely approved for this use.
research The Role of 11-Oxygenated Androgens and Endocrine Disruptors in Androgen Excess Disorders in Women
PCOS involves high 11-oxygenated androgens and BPA may worsen it, while IH is not inflammatory.
research Testosterone therapy for sexual dysfunction in postmenopausal women
Testosterone therapy can help improve sexual desire and function in postmenopausal women but may cause side effects and is not FDA-approved for this use.
research Neuroactive steroids induce changes in fetal sheep behavior during normoxic and asphyxic states
Neurosteroids help protect fetal brains from asphyxia damage.
research Comparison of Clinical and Biochemical Markers of Hirsutism in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome – A Study from a Teaching Hospital in Sri Ramachandra Institute, Chennai, India
Women with PCOS have higher levels of certain androgens, which are good at predicting excess hair growth.
research Unravelling Prevalence and Pattern of Various Hormonal Dysfunctions Among Reproductive Age Community Dwelling Indian Women: Lessons From ICMR PCOS Task Force Sub Study
Hormonal dysfunctions, like PCOS, are common among reproductive-age women in India.
research Affect of a six months treatment regiment of metformin (MET) on 17-hydroxyprogesterone (17P) responses to GnRH agonist (GnRH Ag) in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
Metformin can start ovulation and may lower 17P response in PCOS, but six months is too short to improve hair growth or change body fat distribution.
research Estrus, Ovulation, and Serum Progesterone, Estradiol, and LH Concentrations in Mares After an Increased Photoperiod During Winter
Increasing daylight to 16 hours in winter can make mares ovulate and cycle earlier.
research SAT-223 Insights into Ovarian Hyperandrogenism: Lessons from Two Unusual Cases

research Hormones and COVID-19
Estrogen may help improve COVID-19 outcomes, especially in women.
research Prevalence of functional disorders of androgen excess in unselected premenopausal women: a study in blood donors
Many young women who donate blood have hormonal disorders like excess male hormones and PCOS.
research Docking and Molecular Dynamics Identify Leads against 5 Alpha Reductase 2 for Benign Prostate Hyperplasia Treatment
New compounds show promise for treating benign prostate hyperplasia with fewer side effects.
research Reduced metabolites mediate neuroprotective effects of progesterone in the adult rat hippocampus. The synthetic progestin medroxyprogesterone acetate (Provera) is not neuroprotective
Progesterone protects brain cells, but Provera does not.
research SAT384 Is This A Case of Androgen-Secreting Endometrial Cancer in A Postmenopausal Woman?
The document concludes that doctors should thoroughly check postmenopausal women with sudden increased male traits for rare conditions like androgen-producing endometrial cancer.
research Endocrinological evaluation and hormonal therapy for women with difficult acne
Hormonal therapy is a good option for women with severe acne, especially when there's a chance of hormone imbalance.
research Effects of Dehydroepiandrosterone Therapy on Pubic Hair Growth and Psychological Well-Being in Adolescent Girls and Young Women with Central Adrenal Insufficiency: A Double-Blind, Randomised, Placebo-Controlled Phase III Trial
DHEA therapy improves pubic hair growth and psychological well-being in girls with central adrenal insufficiency.
research Evaluation of dermatologic adverse events associated with aromatase inhibitors: insights from the FAERS database

research Stroke Risk Factors Unique to Women
Women have unique stroke risks due to hormones, contraceptives, pregnancy, and menopause.
research The neurosteroid metabolite of progesterone, 3α‐OH‐dihydroprogesterone (3α‐OH‐DHP), is required for attenuated baroreflex mediated sympathoexcitation in pregnancy
3α‐OH‐DHP is essential for reducing nerve activity related to blood pressure control during pregnancy.
research Use of combined oral contraceptives and risk of venous thromboembolism in young women: a nested case–control analysis using German claims data
Some birth control pills increase young women's risk of blood clots more than others.
research Reporting on Adverse Clinical Events

research Androgen Treatment in Women
Testosterone therapy can help with androgen deficiency in women but should be used with caution and monitoring due to potential risks.
research Preliminary pharmacokinetics and metabolism of novel non-steroidal antiandrogens in the rat: Relation of their systemic activity to the formation of a common metabolite
Two non-steroidal antiandrogens, RU 58841 and RU 56187, form a common metabolite at different rates, which may influence their effects; RU 56187 could be used for prostate cancer treatment and RU 58841 for acne treatment.
