research Pathobiology questions raised by telogen effluvium and trichodynia in COVID‐19 patients
COVID-19 may cause hair loss and scalp pain due to inflammation and changes in hair follicle receptors, but these symptoms typically resolve in 2 to 4 months.
research The probable destructive mechanisms behind COVID-19 on male reproduction system and fertility
COVID-19 may harm male fertility and damage the reproductive system.
research Basic mechanisms of SARS-CoV-2 infection. What endocrine systems could be implicated?
SARS-CoV-2, the virus causing COVID-19, can affect all endocrine organs and systems, altering their function and potentially leading to disorders. Factors like diabetes and obesity increase infection risk and severity. Understanding these effects is key for effective treatment.
research A response to “Male balding is a major risk factor for severe COVID-19”
The authors suggest that scalp hair might protect against COVID-19 and call for more research on scalp health and the virus.
research Comment on “Androgens and women: COVID‐19 outcomes in women with acne vulgaris, polycystic ovarian syndrome, and hirsutism”

research Cardiac and Renal SARS-CoV-2 Viral Entry Protein Regulation by Androgens and Diet: Implications for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and COVID-19
Androgens and a high-fat diet may increase the risk of severe COVID-19 in women with PCOS by upregulating certain proteins in the heart and kidneys.
research Skin Tissue: A Place for SARS-CoV-2 to Multiply and Transmit?
SARS-CoV-2 might infect and multiply in skin tissue, possibly aiding in its transmission.
research COVID-19 in adult patients with pre-existing chronic cardiac, respiratory and metabolic disease: a critical literature review with clinical recommendations
COVID-19 severely affects older adults with chronic heart, lung, or metabolic diseases.
research Proxalutamide Significantly Accelerates Viral Clearance and Reduces Time to Clinical Remission in Patients with Mild to Moderate COVID-19: Results from a Randomized, Double-Blinded, Placebo-Controlled Trial
Proxalutamide helps COVID-19 patients get rid of the virus faster and recover quicker.
research Genetic and hormonal influence on SARS-CoV-2-infection susceptibility
Men may be more vulnerable to severe COVID-19 due to genetic and hormonal factors, but more research is needed.
research TMPRSS2, required for SARS-CoV-2 entry, is downregulated in lung cells by enzalutamide, a prostate cancer therapeutic
A prostate cancer drug can lower the levels of a protein that the coronavirus uses to enter lung cells.
research Enzalutamide, a prostate cancer therapeutic, downregulates TMPRSS2 in lung and reduces cellular entry of SARS-CoV-2
Enzalutamide, a prostate cancer drug, may help prevent COVID-19 by blocking the virus from entering lung cells.
research SARS‐CoV‐2 & androgenic alopecia: exploring links!
Possible link between COVID-19 and hair loss; more research needed.
research Alert to US physicians: DHEA, widely used as an OTC androgen supplement, may exacerbate COVID-19
