Testosterone replacement therapy can prevent men from fathering children and should not be used by those wanting to stay fertile.
research Persistent escalation of alcohol consumption by mice exposed to brief episodes of social defeat stress: suppression by CRF-R1 antagonism
Blocking CRF-R1 can reduce alcohol intake in stressed mice.
research Normal Pubertal Development: Part I: The Endocrine Basis of Puberty
Puberty is driven by hormonal changes, mainly influenced by genetics, nutrition, and body fat.
research Divergent neuroactive steroid responses to stress and ethanol in rat and mouse strains: relevance for human studies
Stress and alcohol affect brain chemicals differently in rats, mice, and humans, influenced by genetic differences.
research Chapter 7 Reproductive Dysfunction in Women with Epilepsy
Epilepsy and certain epilepsy drugs can lead to reproductive problems in women, but changing medication might improve these issues.
research Current evaluation of amenorrhea
Amenorrhea is when a woman doesn't have periods, with primary amenorrhea starting by age 15 or within five years of breast development, and secondary amenorrhea when periods stop for three months. It affects 3-4% of women not pregnant, breastfeeding, or in menopause, mainly due to polycystic ovary syndrome, hypothalamic amenorrhea, hyperprolactinemia, and ovarian failure.
research Effect of finasteride, a 5 alpha-reductase inhibitor, on serum gonadotropins in normal men.
Finasteride doesn't affect hormone levels in normal men.
research Studies on changes in the concentration of serum adrenal androgens in pubertal twins
Adrenal androgens are important for puberty and are influenced by genetics.
research Plasma Androgens in Children and Adolescents
Normal androgen levels need ACTH, and different mechanisms control adrenarche and gonadarche.
research HPA axis stress reactivity and hair cortisol concentrations in recently detoxified alcoholics and healthy controls with and without childhood maltreatment
Alcohol dependence affects stress hormone levels more than childhood maltreatment.
research Frontiers in the (Neuro-)endocrine Controls of Hair Growth
Hair growth and health are influenced by stress and hormones.

Certain brain hormones and chemicals are linked to the development of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.
research Protective effect of DA-9401 in finasteride-induced apoptosis in rat testis: inositol requiring kinase 1 and c-Jun N-terminal kinase pathway
DA-9401 helps protect rat testis from finasteride damage.
research Insulin resistance is increased in alopecia areata patients
People with alopecia areata have higher insulin resistance.
research Exposure of Xenopus laevis tadpoles to finasteride, an inhibitor of 5-α reductase activity, impairs spermatogenesis and alters hypophyseal feedback mechanisms
Finasteride exposure harms tadpole reproduction and hormone balance.
research Hair glucocorticoid levels in Parkinson’s disease
People with Parkinson's disease have higher levels of cortisone in their hair, which may indicate chronic stress hormone dysfunction.
research Delayed Puberty
Delayed puberty often runs in families, can affect growth, and may need hormone treatment.
research Targets to treat androgen excess in polycystic ovary syndrome
The conclusion is that while oral contraceptive pills are effective for PCOS-related high androgen levels, new treatments with fewer side effects are needed.
research The profile of steroid hormones in human fetal and adult ovaries
