New genes and pathways are important for testosterone production and male sexual development.
research Neuroactive steroid levels and psychiatric and andrological features in post-finasteride patients
Post-finasteride patients show changed neuroactive steroid levels, possibly causing erectile dysfunction and depression.
research Basics of androgen synthesis and action
Androgens like testosterone are important hormones for both men and women, made differently in each sex and affecting the body by regulating genes and quick interactions with cell components.
research Sex hormones modulate pathogenic processes in experimental traumatic brain injury
Sex hormones affect brain injury differently in males and females.
research The effect of finasteride and dutasteride on the synthesis of neurosteroids by glioblastoma cells
Finasteride and dutasteride reduce neurosteroid production, possibly helping treat glioblastoma.
research Hair Steroid Profiling Reveals Racial Differences in Male Pattern Baldness between Korean and Caucasian Populations
Korean and Caucasian men with male pattern baldness have different hair steroid levels.
research Finasteride administration potentiates the disruption of prepulse inhibition induced by forced swim stress
Finasteride worsens stress effects on sensory processes, possibly linking to anxiety/depression.
