research Inhibition of 5α Reductase Impairs Cognitive Performance, Alters Dendritic Morphology and Increases Tau Phosphorylation in the Hippocampus of Male 3xTg-AD Mice
Blocking 5α-reductase can harm memory and brain structure, and increase harmful brain changes in male mice used for Alzheimer's disease research.
research Sulforaphane promotes murine hair growth by accelerating the degradation of dihydrotestosterone
Sulforaphane may help with hair growth by breaking down a hormone that causes hair loss.
research Cutaneous manifestations of polycystic ovary syndrome
Skin problems in PCOS, like excess hair, acne, and hair loss, may not always indicate high male hormone levels and need careful diagnosis for proper treatment.
research Evidence-based approach to cutaneous hyperandrogenism in women
The conclusion is that oral contraceptives and antiandrogens can treat hirsutism and acne in women with cutaneous hyperandrogenism, but more research is needed for effective treatments, especially for hair loss.

research AKR1D1 regulates glucocorticoid availability and glucocorticoid receptor activation in human hepatoma cells
AKR1D1 controls glucocorticoid levels and receptor activity in liver cells.
research Finasteride and androgenic alopecia; from therapeutic options to medical implications
Finasteride can treat hair loss, but may have side effects; evaluate and inform patients of risks.
research Testosterone Treatment in Women – An Overview
Testosterone treatment can improve sexual function and bone density in women but may have adverse effects and requires more research on safety and guidelines.
research Use of oral contraceptives in the management of acne
Birth control pills with low-dose estrogen and antiandrogenic progestins can effectively treat acne.
