research Androgenetic alopecia: a review
Male pattern baldness involves genetics, hormones, and needs better treatments.
research Androgen Dependence of Hirsutism, Acne, and Alopecia in Women
Hirsutism is more linked to high androgen levels than acne or hair loss, and a mix of hormonal tests is best for diagnosis; certain treatments can reduce symptoms.
research Molecular epidemiology of hypospadias: Review of genetic and environmental risk factors
Both genes and environmental factors like chemicals may contribute to the increase in hypospadias, but the exact causes are still unclear.
research Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia
The document concludes that proper diagnosis and a multidisciplinary approach are crucial for managing Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia effectively.
research Androgenetic alopecia: An autosomal dominant disorder
Hair loss in androgenetic alopecia is caused by genetic factors and androgen excess, and can be treated with combined therapies.
research Androgens and Female Sexual Function and Dysfunction—Findings From the Fourth International Consultation of Sexual Medicine
Androgens play a role in female sexual function, and testosterone therapy can help women with low sexual desire, but more research is needed on treatments and long-term safety.
research Polycystic ovary syndrome and impact on health
PCOS affects women's health by increasing the risk of diabetes, heart disease, and reproductive issues.
research Revising the role of the androgen receptor in breast cancer
The document concludes that targeting the androgen receptor may be a promising breast cancer treatment, especially for certain types.
research Finasteride Blocks the Reduction in Ictal Activity Produced by Exogenous Estrous Cyclicity
research The effects of finasteride on scalp skin and serum androgen levels in men with androgenetic alopecia
Finasteride effectively reduces hair loss by decreasing androgen levels.
research A model for the turnover of dihydrotestosterone in the presence of the irreversible 5α-reductase inhibitors GI198745 and finasteride
Both drugs lower DHT levels, with GI198745 being more effective.
research Potential targets in the discovery of new hair growth promoters for androgenic alopecia
The document concludes that targeting 5α-reductase, the androgen receptor, and hair growth genes, along with using compounds with anti-androgenic properties, could lead to more effective hair loss treatments.
research The antiandrogen enzalutamide downregulates TMPRSS2 and reduces cellular entry of SARS-CoV-2 in human lung cells
The drug enzalutamide may reduce the ability of the virus causing COVID-19 to enter lung cells.

Certain gene variants may contribute to high androgen levels in women with polycystic ovary syndrome.
research Nonclassic Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia
The document concludes that Nonclassic Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia requires personalized treatment plans to manage symptoms and fertility, with glucocorticoids being a common therapy.
research Neuroimmunoregulation of Androgens in the Adrenal Gland and the Skin
Cytokines and neuropeptides are key in controlling androgen levels, affecting skin and hair conditions.
