Sex hormones affect brain injury differently in males and females.

Men and women have different levels and production of brain steroids, which may affect their risk for certain brain disorders.

Anabolic steroids can build muscle and strength but have risks and need more research on their clinical benefits and side effects.

New targets for making and using brain-synthesized steroids could lead to better treatments for brain disorders and alcoholism.

Certain genetic variations in the AR and ERβ genes can affect androgen levels in women.

Metformin works better for adolescent girls with PCOS who have certain genetic variations.

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.

DHEA is the main sex steroid in cerebrospinal fluid, and testosterone in the fluid comes from the blood.

Male hormones like testosterone may make COVID-19 worse, and testing for sensitivity to these hormones could help predict how severe a patient's symptoms might be. Treatments that reduce these hormones are being explored.

Testosterone, progesterone, and levonorgestrel change enzyme levels related to fat production in hamster skin, which could affect skin oil and acne.

Exposure to certain sex hormones can increase health risks, while some hormone therapies may offer benefits for specific conditions.

Male and female mice have different skin thickness, and hormones affect their skin and hair growth differently.

Male mice are more susceptible to autism-like changes from valproic acid than female mice.

Sex hormone treatments can increase muscle mass in older adults but have inconsistent effects on muscle function and may carry cardiovascular risks.

Different types of androgens bind differently to two receptors, AR1 and AR2, in Atlantic croaker's brain and ovarian tissues, suggesting these receptors may control different androgen actions in fish.

Scientists have developed a new method to detect steroid abuse in athletes using cell-based tests, which could be the future of anti-doping methods.

Steroid hormones are crucial for body functions and have various medical uses, but their misuse can lead to dependence.

Men, especially older ones with health issues like prostate cancer, may have worse COVID-19 outcomes and could benefit from therapies targeting male hormones.

Certain steroids in the brain affect mood and symptoms of depression, and treatments targeting these steroids show promise for improving these symptoms.

Hormones and genes affect hair growth and male baldness.

Chromosomal differences affect how muscle cells respond to testosterone.

Severe COVID-19 may increase lung cancer risk and affect treatment in women due to hormonal changes.

The vitamin D receptor is involved in multiple body functions beyond calcium regulation, including immune response and rapid reactions not related to gene activity.

Male and female bodies respond differently to stress, influenced by hormones and development stages, with implications for stress-related diseases.

The vitamin D receptor has many roles in the body beyond managing calcium, affecting the immune system, hair growth, muscles, fat, bone marrow, and cancer cells.

The enzyme steroid sulfatase is linked to breast cancer and other conditions, and inhibitors are being developed for treatment.
