research Hair loss in athletic testosterone use in males: a narrative review
Testosterone use for muscle growth can cause hair loss in males.
research Effects of lifelong testosterone exposure on health and disease using Mendelian randomization
Higher testosterone levels can increase the risk of certain diseases like type 2 diabetes in women and prostate cancer in men, but can also protect against autoimmune diseases and hair loss. It also affects body fat and bone density.
research Decision letter: Effects of lifelong testosterone exposure on health and disease using Mendelian randomization
Increased free testosterone can lead to stronger bones and less body fat but also higher risks of prostate cancer, hair loss, spine issues, and high blood pressure.
research The causal relationship between androgenetic alopecia and serum uric acid: A bidirectional Mendelian randomization analysis

research Sub-chronic testosterone treatment increases the levels of epithelial sodium channel (ENaC)-α,βandγin the kidney of orchidectomized adult male Sprague–Dawley rats
Testosterone increases certain kidney protein levels, potentially raising blood pressure.
research Author response: Effects of lifelong testosterone exposure on health and disease using Mendelian randomization
Long-term high testosterone levels can improve bone density and reduce body fat but may increase the risk of prostate cancer and high blood pressure.
research Testosterone, sex hormone-binding globulin and dehydroepiandrosterone levels and cervical length of Egyptian women with a history of recurrent miscarriages, polycystic ovary syndrome and without the conditions at three stages of pregnancy
High DHEA and short cervical length in women with PCOS and recurrent miscarriages may harm pregnancy outcomes.

The TT/DHT ratio may help identify PCOS patients with severe metabolic issues.
research A Model for Predicting Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Using Serum AMH, Menstrual Cycle Length, Body Mass Index and Serum Androstenedione in Chinese Reproductive Aged Population: A Retrospective Cohort Study
A model using hormone levels, cycle length, and BMI can help identify PCOS in Chinese women but isn't for screening teens.
research Characteristics of serum immunoglobulin G N-glycans in male patients with androgenetic alopecia
Certain N-glycans may help assess hair loss severity in men with female-pattern hair loss.
research Supraphysiological Dose of Testosterone Impairs the Expression and Distribution of Sex Steroid Receptors during Endometrial Receptivity Development in Female Sprague–Dawley Rats
