Dihydrotestosterone increases the activity of an enzyme in pubic skin cells that converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone.
research Androgen Conjugates: Physiology and Clinical Significance
Androgen conjugates might be better indicators of skin sensitivity to hormones in women with excessive hair growth.
research Nipple Differentiation in Fetal Male Rats Treated with an Inhibitor of the Enzyme 5α-Reductase: Definition of a Selective Role for Dihydrotestosterone*
Blocking a specific enzyme in male rat fetuses leads to the development of nipples and feminized genitalia.
research Idiopathic Hirsutism*
The document concludes that more research is needed to understand excessive hair growth in women with normal hormone levels and regular ovulation.
research Ketoconazole Therapy for Women with Acne and/or Hirsutism
Ketoconazole reduced hair growth and improved acne in women, but caused side effects needing careful monitoring.
research Anti-androgenic effect of sesquiterpenes isolated from the rhizomes of Curcuma aeruginosa Roxb.
Germacrone from Curcuma aeruginosa may help treat conditions related to male hormones by blocking a specific enzyme.
research 5α-Reductase activity in the human hair follicle concentrates in the dermal papilla
The enzyme that changes testosterone to a stronger form is mostly found in the part of the hair follicle called the dermal papilla.
research Finasteride versus cyproterone acetate-estrogen regimens in the treatment of hirsutism
Finasteride and CPA-EE2 equally reduce hirsutism, but affect hormone levels differently.
research Inhibition of Rat 5α-Reductase Activity and Testosterone-Induced Sebum Synthesis in Hamster Sebocytes by an Extract ofQuercus acutissimaCortex
An extract from Quercus acutissima bark was found to reduce sebum production and block an enzyme linked to acne.
research Epitestosterone—an endogenous antiandrogen?
Epitestosterone may act as a weak antiandrogen and can inhibit an enzyme involved in testosterone metabolism.
research Clinical relevance of testosterone and dihydrotestosterone metabolism in women
Testosterone and dihydrotestosterone play a role in women's health issues like excess hair and baldness, and treatments blocking these hormones may help.
research Studies of androgen metabolism and action in cultured hair and skin cells
Androgens don't directly affect hair cell growth or protein production.
research METABOLISM AND ACTION OF ANDROGEN IN THE SKIN
Androgens affect skin conditions like acne and hair loss through specific biochemical pathways.
research Human androgenic steroids affect growth of dermatophytes in vitro
Androgenic steroids can slow down or stop the growth of certain skin fungi.
research Interaction of spironolactone with rat skin androgen receptor
Spironolactone reduces the number of androgen receptor sites in rat skin by blocking them with its metabolite.
research Current Pharmacological Treatment for Male LUTS due to BPH: Dutasteride or Finasteride?
Both dutasteride and finasteride improve urinary symptoms, but dutasteride may be better at reducing the risk of prostate surgery and sudden inability to urinate.
research 5α‐Reductase inhibitors and prostatic disease
5α-Reductase inhibitors can help treat hair loss, acne, and prostate issues by reducing DHT levels.
research Molecular Interactions of New Pregnenedione Derivatives
The new progesterone derivatives effectively inhibit 5α-reductase and bind to the androgen receptor.
research Skin manifestations associated with COVID-19
COVID-19 can cause various skin issues, like rashes and lesions, which are more common in younger patients and can be linked to more severe complications.
research Androgenetic alopecia.
Androgenetic alopecia is a common hair loss condition caused by testosterone effects on hair follicles, leading to thinner, shorter, and less pigmented hair, diagnosed using scalp dermoscopy and treated with topical minoxidil, antiandrogen agents, and 5-alpha reductase inhibitors.
research Synthesis and Pharmacological Evaluation of New 16-Methyl Pregnane Derivatives.
New pregnane derivatives were more effective than finasteride at inhibiting a key enzyme for male pattern baldness.
research Production rates of testosterone and of dihydrotestosterone in female pattern hair loss
Women with female-pattern baldness produce more testosterone, but 5a-reductase inhibition treatment won't help.
research Hirsutism, its pathogenesis
Hirsutism in females is caused by high male hormones or sensitive hair follicles.
research Intracrine Testosterone Activation in Human Pancreatic β-Cells Stimulates Insulin Secretion
Testosterone helps human pancreatic cells increase insulin release.
research Androgenic alopecia: A counterproductive outcome of the anabolic effect of androgens
Male pattern baldness is an unintended side effect of the body's use of androgens for muscle growth, especially in those genetically prone to it.
research Age‐dependent regulation by androgens of gene expression in the anterior hypothalamus and stress‐induced release of adrenal hormones in adolescent and adult male rats
Testosterone affects stress hormone levels differently in adolescent and adult male rats.
