research Effects of dihydrotestosterone on rat dermal papilla cells in vitro
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) doesn't affect rat skin cell growth, but it does change cell cycle, protein levels, and other cell functions, potentially shortening hair growth cycle.
research [Antiandrogen therapy of acne, falling hair and hirsutism (author's transl)].
Cyproterone acetate is an effective treatment for women with acne, hair loss, and excessive hair growth.

RXR agonists may promote hair growth in humans.
research Premature Adrenarche
Early adrenal gland maturation in young children can be normal, but other serious conditions should be ruled out first.
research A case report of a novel homozygote mutation causing severe Leydig cell hypoplasia: insights in the coexistence of nonsense mutation and polymorphism in the same LHCGR gene locus
A new genetic mutation causes severe Leydig cell hypoplasia, affecting sexual development.
research Sex hormones and antiandrogens influence in vitro growth of dermal papilla cells and outer root sheath keratinocytes of human hair follicles
Sex hormones and antiandrogens can either stimulate or inhibit human hair follicle cell growth depending on the dose.
research Inhibition of hair growth by subcutaneous injection of a sympathetic neurotoxin, 6-hydroxydopamine in neonatal mice
Injecting 6-OHDA in newborn mice delays hair growth and thins skin.
research Androgen Regulation of the Human Hair Follicle: The Type I Hair Keratin hHa7 Is a Direct Target Gene in Trichocytes
The hHa7 gene is regulated by androgens in certain body hair, not scalp hair.
research Risk factors and lipid metabolism characteristics of early‐onset male androgenetic alopecia: A pilot study
Low HDL-C, uric acid, and 25-hydroxyvitamin D are risk factors for early-onset male hair loss.
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 MOF-mediated Histone H4 Lysine 16 Acetylation Governs Mitochondrial and Ciliary Functions By Controlling Gene Promoters
MOF controls skin development by regulating genes for mitochondria and cilia.
research [Analysis of steroids and binding proteins in the blood of women with androgenetic alopecia].
Women with androgenetic alopecia have normal levels of most blood steroids and binding proteins, but higher dehydroepiandrosterone. Some also have low "sex hormone-binding globulin" and "corticosteroide-binding globulin" capacity, and high "free androgen index" and "free cortisol index". Diane treatment can normalize these levels and improve hair conditions.
research Intratumoral De Novo Steroid Synthesis Activates Androgen Receptor in Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer and Is Upregulated by Treatment with CYP17A1 Inhibitors
Prostate cancer cells can make their own androgens to activate the androgen receptor, and treatments like abiraterone may increase this ability, suggesting new therapies should target the entire steroid-making pathway.

The gene SDR5A1 is found in scalp hair of both hirsute and normal individuals, but it does not explain differences in hair growth.
research Development of a novel, clinically-relevant model for investigating factors that stimulate human hair growth
Testosterone stimulates growth in intermediate hair follicles, but this can be blocked by cyproterone acetate.
research 130 Deciphering the role of the hexosamine pathway in skin homeostasis
