Routine genetic testing is crucial for early diagnosis and better management of Turner’s syndrome with 21-hydroxylase deficiency.
research Safety and efficacy of transdermal testosterone for treatment of hypoactive sexual desire disorder
Transdermal testosterone can improve sexual desire in postmenopausal women but lacks long-term safety data and is not FDA-approved for this use.

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 Conversion of C57Bl/6 mice from a tumor promotion–resistant to a –sensitive phenotype by enhanced ornithine decarboxylase expression
Increased ODC expression makes normally tumor-resistant mice more prone to tumor development.

A single steroid injection can cause serious side effects like Cushing Syndrome.
research Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis
Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis is a rare, serious skin condition that can affect anyone, is more common in women, and may be linked to genetics, with a 20% mortality rate mainly due to sepsis.
research Testosterone and female sexuality: A skeptical view
Testosterone's role in women's sex drive is unclear and needs more research, as low levels don't always mean less sexual interest and high levels can cause side effects.
