research Prostaglandin D2 Uses Components of ROS Signaling to Enhance Testosterone Production in Keratinocytes
Prostaglandin D2 increases testosterone production in skin cells through a process involving reactive oxygen species, and antioxidants may help treat hair loss.
research L-Ornithine ketoacid-transaminase assay in hair roots of homozygotes and heterozygotes for gyrate atrophy
research More about X‐linked testicular feminization of the mouse as a noninducible (is) mutation of a regulatory locus: 5α‐androstan‐3α‐17ß‐diol as the true inducer of kidney alcohol dehydrogenase and ß‐glucuronidase
A specific metabolite, not a receptor protein, triggers the production of certain kidney enzymes, but this process is disrupted in mice with a mutation causing testicular feminization.
research Testosterone therapy for transgender men
Testosterone therapy in transgender men has both desired effects like increased muscle mass and potential health risks such as higher cardiovascular risk.
research Spontaneous fertility in a male patient with testotoxicosis despite suppression of FSH levels
A man with testotoxicosis was fertile despite low FSH levels, suggesting high testosterone may allow sperm production without FSH.
research Clinical dose ranging studies with finasteride, a type 2 5α-reductase inhibitor, in men with male pattern hair loss☆, ☆☆, ★, ★★
research Novel Mutation in the Hemojuvelin Gene (HJV) in a Patient with Juvenile Hemochromatosis Presenting with Insulin-dependent Diabetes Mellitus, Secondary Hypothyroidism and Hypogonadism
A new mutation in the HJV gene was found in a young woman with juvenile hemochromatosis, causing unusual symptoms like secondary hypothyroidism.
research Randomized controlled evaluator blinded study of dutasteride versus finasteride in men with androgenetic alopecia
Dutasteride more effective than finasteride for hair growth; SM04554 safe and potentially effective for hair loss.
research Enhancement of Intermittent Androgen Ablation Therapy by Finasteride Administration in Animal Models

research Enhancement of Intermittent Androgen Ablation Therapy by Finasteride Administration in Animal Models
research Androgen Treatment in Women
Testosterone therapy can help with androgen deficiency in women but should be used with caution and monitoring due to potential risks.
research The Importance of Vitamin-D in Androgenic Alopecia and Telogen Effluvium
Higher Vitamin-D levels may help treat certain types of hair loss.
research Determination of rat 5α-reductase type 1 isozyme activity and its inhibition by novel steroidal oxazolines
New steroidal compounds moderately block an enzyme related to testosterone conversion, less effectively than finasteride.
research Urinary symptoms in patients with androgenetic alopecia
Lower nitric oxide and higher fibrinogen found in hirsute women; impaired sexual function in 22.6% of hair loss patients, linked to psoriasis severity.
research Iperandrogenismo della donna in menopausa
A 77-year-old woman with hair loss had high testosterone and 17OH-progesterone levels, but no significant findings on imaging.
research Congenital adrenal hyperplasia
The document concludes that diagnosing and treating Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia is complex and requires a team approach due to its effects on the skin and other symptoms.
research Hormonal profile in Indian men with premature androgenetic alopecia
Premature balding in some men may be linked to altered hormones, but it's not the male equivalent to polycystic ovary syndrome or metabolic syndrome.
research The clinical development of a 5α-reductase inhibitor, finasteride
Finasteride effectively treats BPH, but needs more trials to understand potential.
research Chapter 23. Therapeutic Control of Androgen Action
Understanding how androgens work is key for creating new treatments for prostate issues and hair/skin conditions.
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 Early Baldness in Males and Hormonal Changes
Young men with early baldness may have lower Luteinizing Hormone levels due to higher dihydrotestosterone, possibly from certain drugs or gland disorders.
research Exogenous Testosterone (T) Alone or with Finasteride Increases Physical Performance, Grip Strength, and Lean Body Mass in Older Men with Low Serum T
Testosterone therapy improves physical function, strength, and body composition in older men with low testosterone levels.
research Synthesis of novel andostane-N-cyclohexyl-17-carboxamides, and their effect on the 5α-reductase isoform 2, the androgen receptor, and androgen-dependent glands
