research Female Androgenic Alopecia
Women with low SHBG levels and a high 3a-diol G to SHBG ratio are likely to experience female pattern baldness, possibly due to a slight excess of androgens affecting sensitive hair bulbs.
research Markers of peripheral androgen action in vivo and in vitro
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is crucial for conditions like male-pattern baldness and acne, and measuring a byproduct, androstanediol glucuronide, is a better way to assess DHT's effects than DHT blood levels.
research 6 Peripheral androgens and the role of androstanediol glucuronide
Androstanediol glucuronide is a reliable marker for hirsutism in women.
research Is 3α, 17β-androstanediol-glucuronide a diagnostic marker in women with androgenic manifestations?
3α, 17β-androstanediol-glucuronide is not a useful marker for androgen excess but may help monitor certain treatments.
research Treatment of hirsutism: comparisons between different antiandrogens with central and peripheral effects
Finasteride, CPA, and flutamide are all equally effective in reducing excessive hair growth in women.
research Alterations in androgen conjugate levels in women and men with alopecia
People with hair loss may have different levels of certain hormones due to changes in hormone processing.

research Metformin influence on hormone levels at birth, in PCOS mothers and their newborns
Metformin taken during pregnancy increases SHBG in newborns but doesn't change other hormone levels in mothers or babies.
research Quantitative analysis of 34 sex (pro)hormones, conjugates and bioactive oxidation products thereof in human plasma by GC- and LC-MS/MS and systematic investigation of overestimations of analyte concentrations not accounted for by method validation
The method accurately measures sex hormones in human plasma but can have small errors.
research In vivo and in vitro exposure to free fatty acids induce increased androgen production in animal models: a potential pathogenic factor of the polycystic ovary syndrome
Free fatty acids may increase androgen production, potentially contributing to polycystic ovary syndrome.
research Finasteride in the treatment of hirsutism: new therapeutic perspectives
Finasteride effectively treats hirsutism in women, but more research needed for long-term results.
research Female androgenetic alopecia: An update
Hair loss in women can be slowed with treatment, but more research needed for better solutions.
research Sebocytes are the Key Regulators of Androgen Homeostasis in Human Skin
Sebocytes play a key role in controlling androgen levels in human skin.
research Testosterone and doping control
The document concludes that better biomarkers are needed to detect long-term oral testosterone use in athletes.
research Lack of association between clinical and biochemical hyperandrogenism in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome
Clinical signs of excess male hormones and actual hormone levels in the blood do not always match in women with polycystic ovary syndrome.
research Oral contraceptives and risk of breast cancer in women aged 20–54 years
Long-term use of oral contraceptives, especially starting before age 20, may increase the risk of early-onset breast cancer.
research The dose‐response of percutaneous oestradiol implants on the skeletons of postmenopausal women

research A comparison of cabergoline and bromocriptine in the treatment of hyperprolactinemic amenorrhea
Cabergoline is more effective and has fewer side effects than bromocriptine for treating women with hyperprolactinemic amenorrhea.
research Prostate-Specific Antigen as a Marker of Hyperandrogenism in Women and Its Implications for Antidoping
PSA levels could help detect illegal steroid use in female athletes but face challenges like cost and PCOS prevalence.
research The influence of androgens on insulin resistance
Higher levels of unbound testosterone are linked to increased insulin resistance, especially in women with polycystic ovary syndrome.
research Dutasteride reduces alcohol’s sedative effects in men in a human laboratory setting and reduces drinking in the natural environment
