New testosterone analogs show promise for male contraception with better activity and potentially fewer side effects.

Hormones like testosterone affect skin functions and can cause skin issues when in excess; treatments to manage these effects are only somewhat effective.

The exact cause of increased 5α-reductase activity leading to hirsutism in women is still unknown.

Sex hormones may affect COVID-19 severity, with men often faring worse, and targeting related pathways could offer treatment options.

People with hair loss have different hormone levels, and these hormones can affect hair growth.

Combining a GnRH agonist with a low-dose oral contraceptive is more effective and safer for treating hirsutism than using either alone.

Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) stops hair growth in mice by lowering a growth factor important for hair.

Finasteride safely lowers DHT levels without affecting testosterone.

Ovarian hyperthecosis should be considered in young women with severe male-like symptoms and can be managed with hormone treatments.

Low-dose finasteride reduces excessive hair growth in teenage girls safely and affordably.

Testosterone therapy may slightly increase sexual desire in women with HSDD but lacks broad recommendation due to safety concerns and limited approval.

Hormones and genes affect hair growth and male baldness.

Androgens reduce macrophage receptor expression, affecting immune response, while antiandrogens counteract this effect.

Androgens affect behavior, hair, bones, muscles, and the heart, and can be used to treat certain conditions.

Estrogens significantly influence hair growth by interacting with receptors in hair follicles and may help regulate the hair growth cycle.

Women with severe acne, hirsutism, and androgenic alopecia often have higher levels of certain androgens, but the specific pattern can't be predicted just by looking at symptoms.

Localized estrogen treatments may improve skin quality with fewer risks than systemic hormone therapy.

Progesterone and its metabolites affect myelin protein expression differently in male and female rat Schwann cells.

Ovariectomized mice mimic postmenopausal hair loss, and estradiol helps maintain hair density.

New steroids were effective in blocking male hormone receptors in hamster prostates.

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.

Estradiol stops hair growth in mice, but an antagonist can reverse this effect.

Estrogen and prolactin may play bigger roles in female hair loss than previously thought.
