A woman's excessive hair growth and high testosterone were caused by a rare ovarian tumor, which was successfully treated with surgery.

Ovarian steroid cell tumors should be considered in adults with hirsutism and high testosterone, with surgery as the main treatment.

A new method accurately measures long-term hormone levels in hair.

Post-steroid panniculitis is now rare because doctors taper steroids more carefully.

Tacrolimus causes fewer acute rejections than cyclosporin A in kidney transplants but doesn't necessarily improve kidney function after one year; cardiovascular risks and side effects vary between the two drugs.

Finasteride effectively inhibits the enzyme steroid 5 alpha-reductase II.

Both steroid treatments effectively regrow hair in severe alopecia areata.

Mimicking the steroid A-ring may help create effective enzyme inhibitors for prostate disease treatment.

Women with effluvium have higher levels of certain urinary steroids, possibly due to stress and increased adrenal activity.

Use mild topical steroids to avoid side effects, especially in children.

Cannabinoid and steroid-based drugs could be new treatments for Tourette syndrome, but more research is needed to confirm their effectiveness and safety.

Finasteride treatment changes hormone levels in male pattern baldness patients.

Finasteride treatment changes certain urine metabolites in male pattern baldness patients.

Finasteride treatment changes urine metabolites in male pattern baldness patients.

Steroid use can cause a rare eye condition called central serous retinopathy, which can lead to permanent vision damage.

Women with androgenetic alopecia have normal levels of most blood steroids and binding proteins, but higher dehydroepiandrosterone. Some also have low "sex hormone-binding globulin" and "corticosteroide-binding globulin" capacity, and high "free androgen index" and "free cortisol index". Diane treatment can normalize these levels and improve hair conditions.

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

Three specific 4-azasteroid-2-oximes showed strong enzyme inhibition, but less than finasteride.

New compounds were made that block an enzyme linked to breast cancer better than existing treatments.

Neuroactive steroids affect cocaine's rewarding effects through the ς₁ receptor.

Selective non-steroidal inhibitors of 5α-reductase type 1 can help treat DHT-related disorders.

Combining 5α-reductase and aromatase inhibitors may better reduce estrogen levels.

Using β-cyclodextrin derivatives improves the solubility and bioavailability of steroidal drugs.

Neuroactive steroids show promise for treating mental and neurological disorders by targeting GABA_A receptors.

Late puberty may slightly lower prostate cancer risk, baldness is not linked to overall risk but less so with aggressive types, ibuprofen use may increase risk, and vitamins show no effect on risk.

The piRNA pathway genes are crucial in early development and may influence sex differentiation through hormone regulation.

Certain inhibitors can potentially treat prostate cancer and other hormone-dependent conditions by controlling sex hormone levels in cells.

Some steroid-induced health issues in rodents improved after stopping treatment, but hair loss and eye problems did not.

Two non-steroidal antiandrogens, RU 58841 and RU 56187, form a common metabolite at different rates, which may influence their effects; RU 56187 could be used for prostate cancer treatment and RU 58841 for acne treatment.

Bolandiol, a synthetic steroid, builds muscle and bone without greatly affecting sex glands, and works differently from other hormones.
