Testosterone therapy for postmenopausal women appears safe and may protect against heart disease, but requires constant monitoring and more research for long-term effects.
research Relation Between Non-Alcoholic Fatty Pancreas and Clinical and Biochemical Parameters in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: A Multi-Centric Study
Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome are more likely to have Non-Alcoholic Fatty Pancreas Disease, which is associated with older age, metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, and high male hormone levels.
research The Effect of a Very-Low-Calorie Diet (VLCD) vs. a Moderate Energy Deficit Diet in Obese Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)—A Randomised Controlled Trial
A very-low-calorie diet led to more weight loss and health improvements in obese women with PCOS than a moderate energy deficit diet.
research Short-Term Clinical Assessment of Treating Female Androgenic Alopecia with Autologous Stem Cells Derived from Human Hair Follicles
Using stem cells from hair follicles to treat female hair loss is safe and effective after six months.
research The Endocrine Function of the Skin: An Analytical Narrative
The skin acts like an endocrine organ, producing hormones that affect various body functions and skin health, and understanding this can lead to new treatments.

New SRD5A2 variants may disrupt protein function, aiding diagnosis and treatment of related disorders.
research Association Between Trichoscopic Features and Serum Hormone Levels and Vitamin D Concentration in Patients with Androgenetic Alopecia in Eastern China: A Cross-Sectional Study
Higher SHBG levels are linked to less severe hair loss in women, but vitamin D levels don't seem to affect hair loss.
research 7 Regulation of androgen receptor and 5α-reductase in the skin of normal and hirsute women
The exact cause of increased 5α-reductase activity leading to hirsutism in women is still unknown.
research Polymorphisms in androgen and estrogen receptor genes: effects on male aging
Changes in testosterone and estrogen receptor genes can affect how men age, influencing body fat, hair patterns, and possibly leading to skin disorders.
research The Mechanisms of Anabolic Steroids, Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators and Myostatin Inhibitors
Anabolic steroids boost muscle growth, SARMs increase muscle mass and bone density without side effects, and myostatin inhibitors block a protein that stops muscle growth, but each has potential risks.
research TSPO ligand etifoxine attenuates LPS-induced cognitive dysfunction in mice
Etifoxine, an anxiety drug, can lessen brain inflammation and cognitive issues in mice, partly by increasing production of protective brain steroids.
research Gender Differences in Cardiac Hypertrophy
Women generally handle heart enlargement better than men, but it's riskier for them if it occurs; hormones like estrogen offer some protection.
research Current concepts in aesthetic endocrinology
Hormones affect skin aging and fat distribution, and treatments can help, but only minoxidil is proven for female hair loss.
research Autoimmunity and clinical pathology amelioration in SLE by Dexamethasone primed Mesenchymal Stem Cell derived conditioned media
Dexamethasone-primed stem cell media shows promise in treating lupus by reducing symptoms and inflammation.
research Mechanisms of Action of Dehydroepiandrosterone
DHEA affects various tissues by interacting with multiple receptors and can be converted into sex hormones.
research The gut‐microbiota‐brain axis: Focus on gut steroids
Gut bacteria affect steroid levels, influencing health conditions and potential treatments.
research Subcellular localization of the five members of the human steroid 5α-reductase family
All five human steroid 5α-reductase enzymes are found in the endoplasmic reticulum.
research The immune response to COVID ‐19: Does sex matter?
Men and women get COVID-19 at similar rates, but men tend to get sicker and have a higher risk of dying, while women usually have stronger immune responses and vaccine reactions.
research Candidate genes of SARS-CoV-2 gender susceptibility
Men are more affected by COVID-19 due to differences in immune responses and protein expression.
research Astilbin Activates the Reactive Oxidative Species/PPARγ Pathway to Suppress Effector CD4+ T Cell Activities via Direct Binding With Cytochrome P450 1B1
Astilbin can potentially calm overactive immune responses, like in Type 1 Diabetes, by suppressing certain cell activities and reducing inflammation.
research 5α-Reductases In Human Physiology: an Unfolding Story
We need to learn more about 5α-reductases and neuroactive steroids to safely make drugs targeting these enzymes.
research Antiandrogenic activity of Riboflavin 5′-phosphate (FMN) in 22Rv1 and LNCaP human prostate cancer cell lines
Riboflavin 5′-phosphate (FMN) shows potential for treating androgen-related conditions but may be limited in treating prostate cancer.
