The research found that polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) has two distinct types, with one having more severe hormone and insulin issues.

Young women with diffuse hair loss may have low SHBG levels, which could lead to more active testosterone and contribute to their hair loss.

Androgen self-administration might be controlled by membrane receptors, not nuclear ones.

Hirsutism is excessive male-pattern hair growth in women, often caused by hormonal imbalances, and requires ongoing treatment to manage.

The assay effectively detects hormonal activity of certain chemicals.

Muscles can make their own androgens, which may help muscle growth.

Existing drug dexamethasone may lower death risk in severe COVID-19 cases; more research needed for other drugs.

Sex hormone treatments can increase muscle mass in older adults but have inconsistent effects on muscle function and may carry cardiovascular risks.
