research New Progesterone Esters as 5.ALPHA.-Reductase Inhibitors.
Some new progesterone derivatives are better at blocking testosterone conversion than a common drug.
research Impact of dutasteride on spermatogenesis and oxidative status in rats.
Dutasteride did not change rat spermatogenesis or oxidative stress but needs more research.
research 423 Short-Acting Intramuscular Testosterone Delivered in the Clinic Setting Remains a Key Patient-Friendly and Patient-Directed Option in the Contemporary Management of Hypogonadism
Short-acting testosterone injections in a clinic are a preferred treatment for low testosterone because they work well, are convenient, and patients stick with the treatment.
research Androgen effects on the skin
Androgens like testosterone affect skin health and can lead to conditions such as acne and hair loss, with various treatments available.
research 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D resistance, rickets, and alopecia
A genetic defect in vitamin D receptors causes severe rickets and hair loss in children, but some heal as they age.
research Functional analysis of vitamin D receptor (VDR) using adenovirus vector
The study found that certain mutations in the vitamin D receptor can cause rickets and potentially affect hair growth.
research 46, XY Disorder of Sexual Development with Ambiguous Female External Genitalia: A Case Report
A 13-year-old with 46 XY DSD had ambiguous genitalia due to incomplete masculinization.
research Metastatic Embryonal Cell Carcinoma with High Testosterone and Absence of Secondary Sexual Characteristics
Treatment restored normal sexual characteristics and blood condition in a patient with testicular cancer.
research Hyposecretion of the adrenal androgen dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S) in the majority of the alopecia areata patients: Is it a primitive and pathogenic perturbation of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis?
Low DHEA-S levels might be linked to alopecia areata and could be a potential treatment target.
research Gender-specific alteration of steroid metabolism and its impact on viral replication in a mouse model of hepatitis B virus infection
Hepatitis B virus alters steroid hormones in male mice, reducing dihydrotestosterone to inhibit viral replication.
research Screen steroid 5 alpha-reductase inhibitors in vitro by high performance liquid chromatography
The method is quick and effective for testing steroid 5 alpha-reductase inhibitors.
research Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia
The document concludes that proper diagnosis and a multidisciplinary approach are crucial for managing Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia effectively.
research The effect of spironolactone on genital skin 5α-reductase activity
Spironolactone reduces the enzyme activity that converts testosterone to DHT, helping treat excessive hair growth in women.
research The role of pre-operative androgen stimulation in hypospadias surgery.
Pre-operative hormone treatment for hypospadias surgery might improve outcomes, but more research is needed to confirm.

5α-reductase inhibitors can interfere with doping tests by masking banned substances.
research The Function of 5α-reductase in Related Diseases
5α-reductase enzyme affects hormone levels, influencing conditions like acne and hair loss.
research Dehydroepiandrosterone for women in the peri- or postmenopausal phase
DHEA may help with sexual function when used intravaginally by menopausal women but is similar to hormone therapy in other aspects and might cause more side effects like acne and hair loss.
