research Roles of steroid receptors in the lung and COVID-19
Sex hormones may influence COVID-19 severity, with males at higher risk, and certain hormone therapies could potentially treat the virus.
research Localised breast cancers may have systemic influences on skin and hair
Localized breast cancer can affect skin and hair.
research Female Androgenetic (?) Alopecia

research Human scalp hair: Modulation by various factors and hormones do estrogens inhibit or stimulate—A perplexing perspective
The effects of estrogen on human scalp hair growth are unclear and need more research.
research Supraphysiological Dose of Testosterone Impairs the Expression and Distribution of Sex Steroid Receptors during Endometrial Receptivity Development in Female Sprague–Dawley Rats
High doses of testosterone disrupt hormone levels and receptor expression in the uterus, affecting fertility.
research A role of melatonin in neuroectodermal‐mesodermal interactions: the hair follicle synthesizes melatonin and expresses functional melatonin receptors
Hair follicles produce and respond to melatonin, affecting hair growth and sensitivity to estrogen.
research Fulvestrant, a new treatment option for advanced breast cancer: tolerability versus existing agents
Fulvestrant is a well-tolerated new treatment for advanced breast cancer that may delay chemotherapy.
research 17β-estradiol Inhibits the Production of RANTES in Human Keratinocytes
17β-estradiol can reduce inflammation in the skin.
research Estrogens and Human Scalp Hair Growth—Still More Questions than Answers
The effects of estrogen on human hair growth are unclear and need more research.
research Hormonal therapy in female pattern hair loss
Hormonal therapies help treat female hair loss, but results are slow and vary.
research Drug safety evaluation of exemestane
Exemestane is effective and safe for treating certain breast cancers, with mild side effects, but needs more research on long-term effects.
research Kelulut Honey Regulates Sex Steroid Receptors in a Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Rat Model
Kelulut Honey can help regulate sex hormone receptors in rats with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, similar to common medications.
research Intracrine androgen biosynthesis, metabolism and action revisited
The document concludes that blocking the internal pathways that create androgens might help treat cancers that depend on sex hormones.
research Specific morphogenetic events in mouse external genitalia sex differentiation are responsive/dependent upon androgens and/or estrogens
Mouse genital development depends on male or female hormones for specific features.
research Triclocarban, Triclosan, Bromochlorophene, Chlorophene, and Climbazole Effects on Nuclear Receptors: An in Silico and in Vitro Study
Five preservatives may disrupt hormone function and need more health and environmental risk assessment.
research Expression Profiles of Reproduction- and Thyroid Hormone-Related Transcripts in the Brains of Chemically-Induced Intersex Frogs
Intersex frogs have different brain gene activity related to sex and thyroid hormones.
research The role of androgen therapy
Androgens, male hormones, play a role in both men and women's health, and testosterone therapy can help women with low levels, but it's not suitable for pregnant or lactating women, or those with certain conditions.
research Histological and immunohistochemical examination of the effect of the nonsteroidal antiandrogen {flutamide} on some organs of the male reproductive system in albino rats
Flutamide caused damage to male rat reproductive organs and may affect fertility.
research The effects of sex-steroids and menstrual cycle/oestrous phases on knee ligament laxity in humans and rodents / Firouzeh Dehghan
Knee laxity varies with menstrual cycle phases, being highest during ovulation and menstruation, and is influenced by sex-steroids.
research Cinnamomi Cortex (Cinnamomum verum) Suppresses Testosterone-induced Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia by Regulating 5α-reductase
Cinnamomi cortex may help treat prostate enlargement by reducing related proteins.
research The evolution of primary multimodality treatment in resectable breast cancer
Multimodal primary treatment improves survival in premenopausal breast cancer patients and is also beneficial for postmenopausal women.
research [Androgenetic alopecia].
Androgenetic alopecia, or hair loss, is caused by genetic factors and hormones, with different mechanisms in men and women, and can be linked to insulin resistance and polycystic ovary syndrome.
research Testosterone Prevents Cutaneous Ischemia and Necrosis in Males Through Complementary Estrogenic and Androgenic Actions
Testosterone helps prevent skin damage in males by acting through both estrogen and androgen pathways.
