PCOS is a complex condition in women that can lead to health issues, and lifestyle changes are the best management approach.
research Anabolic androgenic steroids and carcinogenicity focusing on Leydig cell: a literature review
Anabolic androgenic steroids can increase cancer risk and disrupt hormones.
research Testosterone alters iron metabolism and stimulates red blood cell production independently of dihydrotestosterone
Testosterone boosts red blood cell production and changes iron metabolism without needing dihydrotestosterone.
research Differential expression of steroid 5α-reductase isozymes and association with disease severity and angiogenic genes predict their biological role in prostate cancer
SRD5A1 is crucial in advanced prostate cancer, and blocking both SRD5A1 and SRD5A2 is more effective than targeting SRD5A2 alone.
research The profile of steroid hormones in human fetal and adult ovaries
Fetal ovaries produce different hormones than adult ovaries, and endocrine-disrupting chemicals may affect this process.

Gut microbes significantly affect brain steroid levels.
research Analysis of hair steroid hormone concentrations at different parts of the head by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry
Hormone levels in hair vary across the head, with the highest concentration of a key hormone linked to hair loss at the top.
research 4 Vitamin D resistance
Some people have genetic mutations that make them resistant to vitamin D, leading to rickets even with enough vitamin D intake.
research A systematic review and meta-analysis on the association between androgenic alopecia and the risk of metabolic syndrome
People with androgenic alopecia (AGA) have a higher chance of getting metabolic syndrome.
