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.
research A Holistic Approach to Antiaging as an Adjunct to Antiaging Procedures: A Review of the Literature
Combining cosmetic procedures with lifestyle changes improves antiaging results.
research Considerations in genetic counseling of transgender patients: Cultural competencies and altered disease risk profiles
Genetic counselors should be culturally skilled and aware of transgender patients' unique health risks and needs.
research Evaluation and Treatment of Gender Dysphoria to Prepare for Gender Confirmation Surgery
The document concludes that non-operative treatment for gender dysphoria is safe and effective, and hormone therapy does not increase cancer risk.
research Neonatal finasteride administration alters hippocampal α4 and δ GABAAR subunits expression and behavioural responses to progesterone in adult rats
