research Triple Hormonal Blockade (ADT3): A Patient’s Perspective
Triple Hormonal Blockade (ADT3) can effectively manage prostate cancer but requires careful monitoring for heart risks.
research The effect of finasteride on the male rat brain
Finasteride affects the male rat brain by reducing certain protein activation, but these effects may reverse after stopping the drug.
research Testosterone Reduces Knee Passive Range of Motion and Expression of Relaxin Receptor Isoforms via 5α-Dihydrotestosterone and Androgen Receptor Binding

Dihydroartemisinin helps reduce prostate enlargement in rats by stopping the growth of prostate cells.
research Rational Design of a Topical Androgen Receptor Antagonist for the Suppression of Sebum Production with Properties Suitable for Follicular Delivery
A new compound was created in 2010 that can control oil production when applied to the skin, and its effects are completely reversible after two weeks.
research Mixture effects of endocrine disrupting compounds in vitro
Weak endocrine disruptors in mixtures can have significant effects and should be considered in risk assessments.
research Effects of Lespedeza Cuneata aqueous extract on testosterone-induced prostatic hyperplasia
Lespedeza cuneata extract may help treat enlarged prostate.

New liposome treatment successfully delivers CRISPR to deactivate a key enzyme in androgen-related disorders.
research Establishment and characterization of matched immortalized human frontal and occipital scalp dermal papilla cell lines from androgenetic alopecia
Scientists created cell lines from balding patients and found that cells from the front of the scalp are more affected by hormones that cause hair loss than those from the back.
research Risks and side effects in the medical management of benign prostatic hyperplasia
Medications for BPH can have significant side effects, so understanding these risks is important for treatment decisions.
research Sodium Valproate Improves Skin Flap Survival via Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid and Histone Deacetylase Inhibitory System
