research Effects of depot medroxyprogesterone acetate, the copper IUD and the levonorgestrel implant on testosterone, sex hormone binding globulin and free testosterone levels: ancillary study of the ECHO randomized clinical trial
The levonorgestrel implant increases free testosterone and lowers SHBG more than DMPA-IM and the copper IUD.
research Safety of testosterone treatment in postmenopausal women
Testosterone therapy seems safe for postmenopausal women for a few years, but more research is needed for long-term effects.

research Negative Impact of Testosterone Deficiency and 5α-Reductase Inhibitors Therapy on Metabolic and Sexual Function in Men
Low testosterone and 5α-reductase inhibitors can harm men's metabolic and sexual health; testosterone therapy may help, but discussing 5α-RIs' side effects is important.
research Treatment of hirsutism: comparisons between different antiandrogens with central and peripheral effects
Finasteride, CPA, and flutamide are all equally effective in reducing excessive hair growth in women.
research Effect of Leuprolide and Dexamethasone on Hair Growth and Hormone Levels in Hirsute Women: The Relative Importance of the Ovary and the Adrenal in the Pathogenesis of Hirsutism*
The ovary mainly causes high testosterone in PCO, while the adrenal gland is the main source in IH.
research SAT378 Unusual Case of Hirsutism From Prolactinoma Induced Dihydrotestosterone Elevation
A woman's excessive hair growth was linked to a rare case of high testosterone caused by a prolactin-producing pituitary tumor.
research The First Syntheses of 16β-Chloro- and 16β-Bromo-cyproterone Acetate

research Is the metabolism of testosterone to 5α-dihydrotestosterone required for androgen action in the skin?
Testosterone conversion to 5α-DHT may not be essential for its effects on the skin.
research Cyproterone acetate for hirsutism
Cyproterone acetate with estradiol may subjectively improve excessive hair growth in women, but it's not clinically better than other treatments.
research Androgen Conjugates: Physiology and Clinical Significance
