research Urinary Androgens Provide Additional Evidence Related to Metabolism and Are Correlated With Serum Androgens in Girls
The research found that measuring androgens in urine can give extra information about body metabolism and is linked to androgen levels in the blood, especially in young girls.
research Evidence for Increased 5α-Reductase Activity During Early Childhood in Daughters of Women With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Young girls whose mothers have PCOS may have higher activity of a specific enzyme that could lead to developing PCOS later.
research Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and Testosterone Concentrations in Human Hair after Chronic DHEA Supplementation

In STSD patients, the body compensates for low androgen levels by increasing another enzyme's activity.
research Normal Pubertal Development in Daughters of Women With PCOS: A Controlled Study
Daughters of women with PCOS generally experience normal puberty but may have more body hair and different body fat distribution.
research Doping-Control Analysis of the 5α-Reductase Inhibitor Finasteride: Determination of Its Influence on Urinary Steroid Profiles and Detection of Its Major Urinary Metabolite
Finasteride affects urinary steroid profiles and can potentially hide steroid abuse in sports drug testing.
research Hyperandrogenism, Elevated 17-Hydroxyprogesterone and Its Urinary Metabolites in a Young Woman with Ovarian Steroid Cell Tumor, Not Otherwise Specified: Case Report and Review of the Literature
A young woman's symptoms suggested PCOS, but tests and surgery confirmed and treated a rare ovarian tumor, resolving her condition.
research The effect of St. John’s wort on the pharmacokinetics, metabolism and biliary excretion of finasteride and its metabolites in healthy men
St. John's wort increases finasteride metabolism, reducing its effectiveness; use caution when combining them.
research Urinary 5-ene-steroid excretion in non-classical congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase deficiency (NC-3BHSD)

research Higher Levels of Serum Uric Acid Have a Significant Association with Lower Incidence of Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms in Healthy Korean Men
Higher uric acid levels are linked to fewer urinary symptoms in healthy Korean men.
research Screening and confirmation methods of the major urinary metabolite of finasteride–carboxy-finasteride by liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry and liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry
New methods can detect finasteride's major urinary metabolite in urine for up to 49 hours.
research Testosterone and doping control
The document concludes that better biomarkers are needed to detect long-term oral testosterone use in athletes.
research Untargeted Metabolomics and Steroid Signatures in Urine of Male Pattern Baldness Patients after Finasteride Treatment for a Year
Finasteride treatment changes urine metabolomics and steroid signatures, potentially monitoring effectiveness but may cause sexual side effects.
research A Teenage Girl with Unexpected Pubertal Changes
The girl's unexpected pubic hair growth led to a diagnosis different from complete androgen insensitivity syndrome.

COVID-19 might worsen symptoms and progression of benign prostatic hyperplasia, possibly due to inflammation and metabolic disturbances in the prostate gland. More research is needed to confirm this.
research Biotin deficiency complicating parenteral alimentation: Diagnosis, metabolic repercussions, and treatment
Biotin deficiency in patients on total parenteral nutrition can cause serious symptoms but can be treated with biotin supplements.
research Benign prostatic hyperplasia, metabolic syndrome and androgenic alopecia: Is there a possible relationship?
