SHBG binding properties are unchanged in male liver cirrhosis patients.

Testosterone and dihydrotestosterone treatments can help with penile growth in males with 5α-reductase type 2 deficiency, with dihydrotestosterone being more effective in infancy.

Dihydrotestosterone treatment can help penis growth in boys with 5α-reductase deficiency but doesn't fully normalize size after puberty.

Sex neurosteroids cause different effects on hippocampal synaptic plasticity in males and females.
