research Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase (17β -HSD3, 17β-HSD5, and 3α-HSD3) Inhibitors:Extragonadal Regulation of Intracellular Sex Steroid Hormone Levels
Certain inhibitors can potentially treat prostate cancer and other hormone-dependent conditions by controlling sex hormone levels in cells.
research Curcumin derivatives inhibit testicular 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 3
Curcumin and its derivatives can block an enzyme important for making testosterone, with one derivative being particularly strong.
research 5α-Reductase activity in the human hair follicle concentrates in the dermal papilla
The enzyme that changes testosterone to a stronger form is mostly found in the part of the hair follicle called the dermal papilla.

Hirsute women have lower type 2 17β-HSD enzyme levels, which improve with treatment.
research Recent Advances in Drug Design and Drug Discovery for Androgen- Dependent Diseases
New treatments for prostate cancer and BPH show promise, including novel compounds that target hormone synthesis and response.
research Azasteroids as inhibitors of testosterone 5α-reductase in mammalian skin
Certain 4-azasteroids are effective at blocking the enzyme that processes testosterone in human skin and could help treat acne, excessive hair growth, and male pattern baldness.
research ANDROGEN METABOLISM AS IT AFFECTS HAIR GROWTH IN ANDROGENETIC ALOPECIA

Dihydrotestosterone can be made from dehydroepiandrosterone in skin cells without needing testosterone.
research Hair Steroid Profiling Reveals Racial Differences in Male Pattern Baldness between Korean and Caucasian Populations
Korean and Caucasian men with male pattern baldness have different hair steroid levels.
research Plasmaproteinbindung endogener Glucocorticosteroide und deren Einfluss auf Haar- und Speichelkonzentrationen
Plasma protein binding significantly affects glucocorticosteroid concentration in blood, saliva, and hair.
research Pharmacokinetics and Bioconversion of Dehydroepiandrosterone after Application of Dexamethasone in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Women with PCOS have higher 5alpha-reductase activity, affecting steroid levels.
research Pharmakokinetik und Biokonversion von Dehydroepiandrosteron nach Dexamethason-Vorbehandlung bei Frauen mit dem Syndrom der polyzystischen Ovarien
Women with PCOS have higher 5alpha-reductase activity, affecting steroid levels.
research Basics of androgen synthesis and action
Androgens like testosterone are important hormones for both men and women, made differently in each sex and affecting the body by regulating genes and quick interactions with cell components.
research New steps forward in the neuroactive steroid field
Neuroactive steroids could become safe, effective treatments with more understanding of their complex brain actions and metabolism.
research 25 years of ERβ: a personal journey
ERβ has potential in treating prostate cancer and neurodegenerative diseases, but human studies are needed before clinical use.
research The serum evaluation of sex hormones including DHEAs, DHT, testosterone in oral lichen planus patients
Sex hormones do not cause oral lichen planus.
research A Review of Coumarin Derivatives in Pharmacotherapy of Breast Cancer
Coumarin derivatives show promise as anti-estrogenic agents for treating breast cancer, with some in clinical trials.
research Is dehydroepiandrosterone a hormone?
Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is a prohormone important for producing sex steroids and has potential health benefits.
research Cutaneous Androgen Metabolism: Basic Research and Clinical Perspectives
Creating stronger blockers for skin enzymes might lead to better treatment for conditions like acne and excessive hair growth.
research An Update of Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia
Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia is a genetic disorder with two forms, causing symptoms like early puberty and severe acne, but can be identified through screening and treated with glucocorticoids.
research Neurosteroidogenesis Today: Novel Targets for Neuroactive Steroid Synthesis and Action and Their Relevance for Translational Research
New targets for making and using brain-synthesized steroids could lead to better treatments for brain disorders and alcoholism.
research Androgen actions on the human hair follicle: perspectives
Androgens have complex effects on hair growth, promoting it in some areas but causing hair loss in others, and our understanding of this is still evolving.
research Pathways to inflammation: acne pathophysiology
