Three siblings with a rare genetic condition had abnormal sexual development and chose different gender identities, needing surgery and therapy.
research Altered Hormone and Bioactive Lipid Plasma Profile in Rodent Models of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome Revealed by Targeted Mass Spectrometry
Rodent models of PCOS show some similar and some different lipid changes compared to humans.
research Fetal alpha 5-reductase Val89Leu mutation is associated with late miscarriage
A certain mutation in the fetal alpha 5-reductase gene is linked to a higher risk of late miscarriage.
research A long-term follow-up study of men born with very low birth weight and their reproductive hormone profile
Men born very underweight had higher estrogen levels but normal reproduction compared to normal birth weight men.

The engineered yeast strain BLYAS can quickly and sensitively detect androgenic chemicals.
research Androgens and ovarian function: translation from basic discovery research to clinical impact
Androgens are important for female fertility and could help in IVF treatment, but also play a role in causing PCOS.
research Polycystic ovary syndrome patients with high BMI tend to have functional disorders of androgen excess: a prospective study
Overweight women with PCOS are more likely to have excess male hormones.
research A high-performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry assay of the androgenic neurosteroid 3α-androstanediol (5α-androstane-3α,17β-diol) in plasma
Testosterone increases 3α-androstanediol levels, which can be blocked by finasteride.
research LC-APCI+-MS/MS method for the analysis of ten hormones and two endocannabinoids in plasma and hair from the mice with different gut microbiota
The method accurately measures hormones and endocannabinoids in mice, showing gut microbiota diversity affects these levels and may influence stress and reproductive systems.
research Immuno-Endocrinology of COVID-19: The Key Role of Sex Hormones
Sex hormones may affect COVID-19 severity, with estrogen possibly reducing risk and testosterone potentially increasing it.
