research A “first” on the horizon: the expansion of uterus transplantation to transgender women
Doctors are preparing to potentially perform uterus transplants in transgender women, considering technical, hormonal, and ethical factors.
research Adrenal and Gonadal Activity, Androgen Concentrations, and Adult Height Outcomes in Boys With Silver-Russell Syndrome
Higher androgen levels during puberty are linked to shorter adult height in boys with Silver-Russell syndrome.
research The genetics of autism and steroid-related traits in prenatal and postnatal life
Autism's genetics are linked with early age of puberty and less hair loss, but not with hormone levels or polycystic ovary syndrome.
research Postmenopausal hyperandrogenism due to an ovarian sex cord-stromal tumour causing elevated dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate: a case report
An ovarian tumor can cause high male hormones in postmenopausal women.

research Conditional Disruption of Hedgehog Signaling Pathway Defines its Critical Role in Hair Development and Regeneration
The hedgehog signaling pathway is crucial for hair growth but not for the initial creation of hair follicles.
research Testicular Steroidogenesis
Genetic defects in testosterone production can cause hormonal and developmental disorders, and more research is needed to understand androgen regulation and develop safer treatments.
research Endocrine treatment of benign prostatichypertrophy: Current concepts
New hormonal treatments for enlarged prostate show promise for safer, effective non-surgical options.
research The anti-androgen combination, flutamide plus finasteride, paradoxically suppressed LH and androgen concentrations in pregnant spotted hyenas, but not in males
Flutamide and finasteride reduced sex hormones in pregnant hyenas, but increased them in males.
research What should it take to describe a substance or product as 'sperm-safe'
Products should be called 'sperm-safe' only after thorough, well-designed tests.
research The Basic Science of Hair Biology
Hair disorders are caused by a complex mix of biology, genetics, hormones, and environmental factors, affecting hair growth and leading to conditions like alopecia.
research Rooster feathering, androgenic alopecia, and hormone-dependent tumor growth: What is in common?
Sex hormones affect hair and feather growth and may help manage alopecia and hormone-dependent cancers.
research New Biomarkers to Evaluate Hyperandrogenemic Women and Hypogonadal Men
The document concludes that hormonal biomarkers are key for diagnosing hyperandrogenemia in women and hypogonadism in men.
research A systematic appraisal of emerging alternative therapies in men’s health and wellness
Alternative therapies for men's health lack strong scientific support and need more research.
research Abstracts from the ASA 40thAnnual Meeting
HNG may help prevent the negative effects of chemotherapy on sperm production and white blood cell counts.
research Female Hirsutism: Pathophysiological Considerations and Therapeutic Implications*
Excessive hair growth in women often has no known cause and is not linked to race or other hormonal symptoms.
research Comparison of spironolactone and spironolactone plus metformin in the treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome
Both treatments reduced excessive hair growth in PCOS, but there was no difference in weight, hair score, hormone levels, or insulin resistance.

Women with different PCOS types have similar fertility treatment results.
research Longitudinal clinical course in patients with 5α-reductase type 2 deficiency treated with testosterone and dihydrotestosterone during infancy and puberty
Testosterone and dihydrotestosterone treatments can help with penile growth in males with 5α-reductase type 2 deficiency, with dihydrotestosterone being more effective in infancy.
research Tributyltin (TBT) effects on Ocinebrina aciculata (Gastropoda: Muricidae): imposex development, sterilization, sex change and population decline
Tributyltin exposure causes sex changes, sterilization, and decline in the snail Ocinebrina aciculata, risking its extinction.
research Finasteride
Finasteride treats enlarged prostate, shrinks it, improves urination, but may cause sexual dysfunction and isn't for women or children.
research Consequences of steroid-5α-reductase deficiency and inhibition in vertebrates
Lack or blocking of SRD5a, a key component in hormone creation, can lead to conditions like pseudohermaphrodism and affect hair growth, bone mass, muscle strength, and reproductive health. More research is needed on its regulation from fertilization to adulthood.
