no. it's not too small.
but first, two things:
1. what study are you referring to, since the first study did not have 58 subjects
2. if you're "skeptical when seeing statistics", how on earth are you coming to the conclusion that the other studies must have small sample sizes?
now as for your complaint specifically: are you at all familiar with research in endocrinology? relatively small sample sizes are common in that discipline because you can measure before-after hormonal levels and because the major variable that you're dealing with is hormonal change. it's not like opinion polls where you need a gigantic sample size. this study about the dose-response levels of testosterone is famous -- it was cited 645 times and uses a sample size of 61 men.
