Androgens are important for female fertility and could help in IVF treatment, but also play a role in causing PCOS.
research Testosterone alters iron metabolism and stimulates red blood cell production independently of dihydrotestosterone
Testosterone boosts red blood cell production and changes iron metabolism without needing dihydrotestosterone.
research Influence of estrogens on the androgen metabolism in different subunits of human hair follicles.
Estrogens can reduce DHT production in hair follicles, but are less effective than finasteride and progesterone.
research The expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in the testis and epididymis of rats with a dihydrotestosterone (DHT) deficiency
DHT deficiency increases iNOS expression in rat testis and epididymis.
research The prostaglandin synthases, COX-2 and L-PGDS, mediate prostate hyperplasia induced by low-dose bisphenol A
Low-dose bisphenol A increases prostate size in rats by affecting certain enzymes.
research Neurosteroids Involved in Regulating Inhibition in the Inferior Colliculus
Neurosteroids help balance brain signals when certain inhibitions are reduced.
research New Insights into Testosterone Biosynthesis: Novel Observations from HSD17B3 Deficient Mice
Mice without the enzyme HSD17B3 still produce normal testosterone, suggesting they have different ways to make it compared to humans.
research Physiology of Testicular Function
The testes produce sperm and hormones essential for male development.
research Is Dutasteride a Therapeutic Alternative for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis?
Dutasteride, usually used for prostate issues and hair loss, could potentially treat Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) due to its neuroprotective, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties, but more testing is needed.
research Age-related downregulation of dihydrotestosterone-inactivating enzymes in human scalp sebaceous glands
AKR1C enzymes in scalp glands decrease with age, possibly affecting hair loss.
research Exploration of the Possible Relationships Between Gut and Hypothalamic Inflammation and Allopregnanolone: Preclinical Findings in a Post-Finasteride Rat Model.
Allopregnanolone may help reduce inflammation and symptoms related to post-finasteride syndrome.
research POST-FINASTERIDE SYNDROME AND POST-SSRI SEXUAL DYSFUNCTION: TWO CLINICAL CONDITIONS APPARENTLY DISTANT, BUT VERY CLOSE
Some people experience lasting sexual, psychological, and sleep problems after using finasteride or SSRI antidepressants, possibly due to similar underlying causes.
research Daily intake of alfalfa sprouts, but not broccoli sprouts, influence plasma levels of androgen in middle-aged males
Eating alfalfa sprouts every day can raise testosterone levels in middle-aged men, but broccoli sprouts don't have this effect.
research New Nonsteroidal Molecules as Blockers of the Steroidogenic Pathway
New nonsteroidal molecules can potentially increase dihydrotestosterone in neurons by blocking certain enzymes, without affecting prostate and seminal vesicle weight.
research 3 alpha, 17 beta-androstanediol glucuronide in plasma. A marker of androgen action in idiopathic hirsutism.
High levels of 3 alpha-diol glucuronide in the blood are a marker of increased androgen action in women with excessive hair growth of unknown cause.
