research Insulin resistance, nitric oxide, and fibrinogen levels in white hirsute women: Defining a new paradigm based on translational research
White hirsute women with PCOS have higher insulin resistance, but similar nitric oxide and fibrinogen levels compared to those with idiopathic hirsutism.
research Effects of Testosterone on the Expression of Connexin 26 and Connexin 43 in the Uterus of Rats During Early Pregnancy
Testosterone changes important cell communication proteins in pregnant rats' uteruses, which might affect pregnancy success.
research Testosterone Therapy in Women: A Literature Review of Clinical Indications, Dosing, Routes of Administration, and Safety
Testosterone therapy can safely and effectively treat symptoms like low libido and fatigue in women, especially after menopause.
research Protective role of agomelatine via modulation of TLR4/NF-κB: NLRP3/IL-1β signaling pathways in testosterone-induced benign prostatic hyperplasia in rats
Agomelatine may help reduce benign prostatic hyperplasia by blocking certain inflammatory pathways.
research Segmental hair analysis as a retrospective testosterone diary: possibilities and pitfalls
Segmental hair analysis can track testosterone over time but needs adjustments for sex, hair color, and washing frequency.
research COVID-19 and androgenic status: testosterone or dihydrotestosterone have a pivotal role?
Higher dihydrotestosterone may be linked to more inflammation in COVID-19 patients with low testosterone.
research Physiopathological role of the enzymatic complex 5α-reductase and 3α/β-hydroxysteroid oxidoreductase in the generation of progesterone and testosterone neuroactive metabolites
The enzymes 5α-reductase and 3α/β-hydroxysteroid oxidoreductase help create brain-active substances from progesterone and testosterone, which could be used for treatment, but more research is needed to ensure their safety and effectiveness.
