Many transgender men on testosterone therapy experience hair loss.
research Simultaneous determination of androgens and prostaglandins in human urine using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry
Researchers developed a reliable way to measure hormones in urine, showing that a baldness treatment doesn't change hormone levels.
research Vitamin D Dependent Rickets Type II with Alopecia
A 2-year-old girl with a rare vitamin D disorder had rickets and hair loss, but treatment was ineffective due to poor compliance.
research Nipple Differentiation in Fetal Male Rats Treated with an Inhibitor of the Enzyme 5α-Reductase: Definition of a Selective Role for Dihydrotestosterone*
Blocking a specific enzyme in male rat fetuses leads to the development of nipples and feminized genitalia.
research Higher Levels of Steroidogenic Acute Regulatory Protein and Type I 3β-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase in the Scalp of Men with Androgenetic Alopecia
Men with baldness have higher levels of specific proteins, suggesting local hormone production may play a role in hair loss.
research Dutasteride, a novel dual 5-A reductase inhibitor, reduces serum DHT to a greater extent versus finasteride and achieves finasteride maximal reduction in a larger proportion of patients
Dutasteride reduces DHT more effectively than finasteride.
research Correlation between biochemical and clinical hyperandrogenism parameter in polycystic ovary syndrome in relation to age
The link between physical signs of high male hormones and hormone levels in women with PCOS changes with age.
research Exclusive androgenic effect of dehydroepiandrosterone in sebaceous glands of rat skin
DHEA acts like a male hormone on rat skin glands and doesn't turn into female hormones there.
research Caffeic acid N-[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl] amide as a non-steroidal inhibitor for steroid 5α-reductase type 1 using a human keratinocyte cell-based assay and molecular dynamics
Compound 4 is a promising treatment for hair loss with low toxicity.

The method accurately measures seven androgens in plasma and shows different hormone levels in females with acne and obesity.
research Genetics and Pathophysiology of Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia
The document concludes that patient outcomes for Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia are often not ideal because of poor management and a need for better diagnosis and treatment methods.
research Role of 5α-reductase inhibitors in androgen-stimulated skin disorders.
5α-reductase inhibitors like finasteride and dutasteride can help treat skin disorders stimulated by androgens, such as hair loss and acne.
research The role of androgens in hormone replacement therapy
Androgen therapy can help with symptoms like low libido in women, but more research is needed to understand its long-term safety and effects on health.
