High levels of male hormones and irregular periods best predict how well PCOS patients will respond to metformin treatment.
research Double Knockdown of the Androgen Receptor Target Genes DKK1 and SFRP1 Does Not Potentiate the Hair Growth-Promoting Effect of SFRP1 Silencing in Healthy Human Hair Follicles Ex Vivo
Silencing SFRP1 alone promotes hair growth, but adding DKK1 does not help.
research Injections of platelet-rich plasma for androgenic alopecia: A systematic review
PRP injections help regrow hair, reduce hair loss, and increase hair thickness, but effects decrease without ongoing treatment.
research Selective androgen receptor modulators (SARMs) have specific impacts on the mouse uterus
GTx-024 and Danazol affect the uterus like DHT, while GTx-007 has little impact.
research Inhibition of Hair Growth by Testosterone in the Presence of Dermal Papilla Cells from the Frontal Bald Scalp of the Postpubertal Stumptailed Macaque
Testosterone can slow hair growth in adult monkeys, but a blocker called RU 58841 can counteract this and potentially help hair regrow.

A genetic test can identify people at risk of male pattern baldness early, allowing for quicker treatment.
research Testosterone Reduces Knee Passive Range of Motion and Expression of Relaxin Receptor Isoforms via 5α-Dihydrotestosterone and Androgen Receptor Binding
Testosterone reduces knee flexibility by affecting relaxin receptors.
research Low-Dose Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO) Suppresses Androgen Receptor (AR) and Its Splice Variant AR-V7 in Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer (CRPC) Cells
Low-dose DMSO may help treat castration-resistant prostate cancer by reducing key cancer cell receptors.
research COVID-19 and andrology: Recommendations of the French-speaking society of andrology (Société d’Andrologie de langue Française SALF)
Wait 3 months after COVID-19 before trying assisted reproduction and further research is needed on COVID-19's effects on male hormones and fertility.
research Distribution of Body Hair in Young Australian Women and Associations With Serum Androgen Concentrations

research Expression of steroidogenic enzymes in human sebaceous glands
Human sebaceous glands contain enzymes that affect androgen production and may influence sebum production and acne.
research Comparison of two contraceptive pills containing drospirenone and 20 μg or 30 μg ethinyl estradiol for polycystic ovary syndrome
Both contraceptive pill doses effectively reduced androgen levels in women with PCOS.
research Androgen Receptor–Mediated Paracrine Signaling Induces Regression of Blood Vessels in the Dermal Papilla in Androgenetic Alopecia
Male pattern baldness is linked to higher levels of a certain receptor in the scalp, which leads to the shrinking of blood vessels and hair loss. Early treatment targeting this receptor could be more effective.
