research Is the “Comb Over” Dying? A Mouse Model for Male Pattern Baldness (Androgenic Alopecia)
The mouse model suggests male pattern baldness may be due to an enzyme increasing DHT and higher androgen receptor levels in hair follicles.

Research
30-60 / 1000+ results research Androgen Signaling in Sertoli Cells
Androgens regulate Sertoli cells and affect fertility through specific receptors and coregulators.
research Male-pattern hair loss: Comprehensive identification of the associated genes as a basis for understanding pathophysiology
Male-pattern hair loss is largely influenced by genetics, with key genes identified.

Isolation stress in rats reduces brain enzyme levels, affecting dopamine function.
research The inflammatory component of androgenetic alopecia
Androgenetic alopecia, a genetic disorder affecting up to 50% of adults, is caused by an excessive response to androgens leading to hair follicle shrinkage. Treatments include FDA-approved drugs, other therapies like low-dose oral minoxidil, and hair transplantation.
research Disruptors of Androgen Action and Synthesis
Certain pesticides and fungicides can interfere with male hormone functions, potentially causing reproductive issues in male rats.
research Disorders linked to insufficient androgen action in male children
Male children's genital development issues can be caused by genetic mutations or environmental factors affecting hormone action.
research Resequencing Analyses Revealed Genetic Diversity and Selection Signatures during Rabbit Breeding and Improvement
Genetic analysis of rabbits identified key genes for traits like coat color, body size, and fertility.
research Review of Women with Vision: The Presentation Sisters of South Dakota, 1880-1985

research DHT and E2 synthesis-related proteins and receptors expression in male yak skin during different hair follicle stages
Male yak hair growth is influenced by DHT synthesis, which is promoted by 5α-red1 and AR during growth phases, while E2 may inhibit growth through ERα.
