research Highly efficient nucleophilic addition of alkyl Grignard reagents to 17-ketosteroids in the presence of cerium(III) chloride: Synthesis of 17α-propyl-17β-hydroxy-4-androsten-3-one, an androgen receptor antagonist
Adding cerium(III) chloride to Grignard reagents improves the making of compounds that could treat prostate issues and hair loss.
research Establishing and Verifying a Robust Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry Method to Simultaneously Measure Seven Androgens Present in Plasma Samples
The method accurately measures seven androgens in plasma and shows different hormone levels in females with acne and obesity.
research Treatment of hirsutism and acne in women with two combinations of cyproterone acetate and ethinylestradiol.
Cyproterone acetate and ethinylestradiol effectively reduce hirsutism and acne in women.
research Effect of estrogens on skin aging and the potential role of selective estrogen receptor modulators
Estrogens and SERMs can help with skin aging, but their safety and effectiveness need more research.
research GC-MS determination of steroids related to androgen biosynthesis in human hair with pentafluorophenyldimethylsilyl–trimethylsilyl derivatisation
The method accurately measures certain steroids in human hair, showing different levels in males and females.
research Molecular interactions of progesterone derivatives with 5α-reductase types 1 and 2 and androgen receptors
Certain progesterone derivatives can inhibit enzymes and reduce androgenic activity, potentially affecting prostate growth.
research Association of childhood dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate concentration, pubertal development, and DNA methylation at puberty-related genes
Higher childhood DHEAS levels are linked to advanced puberty and DNA changes.
research PSAT217 Estrogen Deficiency as a Cause of Decreased 1- alpha - hydroxylase Activity
Estrogen deficiency can reduce the enzyme activity needed to activate vitamin D.
research Spironolactone use and oocyte maturation in patients undergoing controlled ovarian hyperstimulation
research Synthesis and Study of Some 17a-aza-D-homo Steroids as 5α-Reductase Inhibitors
The research found that compound 6, a newly created steroid, is more effective at inhibiting 5α-reductase (an enzyme) than current treatments, suggesting it could be a better option for treating urinary tract symptoms in men.
research 11-oxyandrogen Concentrations in Adolescents With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
Adolescents with PCOS have higher levels of certain androgens, which are linked to hair growth but don't help diagnose PCOS better than testosterone levels.
research On the Effect of Estrogen Receptor Agonists and Antagonists on the Mouse Hair Follicle Cycle
β-estradiol slows hair growth in mice.
research Studies on the persistence of estradiol benzoate and nortestosterone decanoate in hair of cattle following treatment with growth promoters, determined by ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry
Detecting steroid esters in cattle hair is inconsistent and influenced by sampling factors.
research Evaluation of the rodent Hershberger assay using three reference endocrine disrupters (androgen and antiandrogens)
The assay effectively detects hormonal activity of certain chemicals.
research Biological activity of novel progesterone derivatives having a bulky ester side chains at C-3
The more lipophilic the progesterone derivative, the better it binds to androgen receptors and has antiandrogenic effects.
research Serum and hair steroid profiles and their associations with body composition in adolescence.
Androgen levels are more linked to body size in boys than girls.
research Differential Suppression of Testosterone and Estradiol in Hirsute Women With the Superactive Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone Agonist Leuprolide*
