Some newly made compounds are promising for treating enlarged prostate, hair loss, viruses, and prostate cancer, and might be better than current drugs.

Exposure to certain sex hormones can increase health risks, while some hormone therapies may offer benefits for specific conditions.

Testosterone therapy seems safe for short-term use in postmenopausal women with low sexual desire, but more research on long-term effects is needed.

The DHT immunoassay is unreliable due to high cross-reactivity with testosterone.

Testosterone works in different ways, including direct interaction with its receptor, conversion to other hormones for specific effects on genitalia, hair, bones, and muscle, and changes in body fat and sexual function when low.

5 alpha reductase inhibitors can cause sexual, cognitive, and muscle side effects, and may slightly increase aggressive cancer risk.

Some newly made compounds can block an enzyme linked to hair loss and prostate growth, with one in particular being very selective.

Cyproterone acetate is used to treat conditions like prostate cancer, early puberty, excessive sexual drive, and female androgenization by affecting androgen functions and suppressing certain hormones.

The method accurately measures cyproterone acetate in plasma, showing no significant difference between two formulations.

Finasteride treatment can decrease certain steroids and increase others, possibly leading to depression symptoms in some cases.

Inhibitors of the enzyme 5 alpha-reductase could potentially treat disorders like prostate cancer and baldness.

Nandrolone might increase muscle mass with fewer side effects than testosterone but could cause erectile dysfunction and needs more research.

PNU 157706 is a more effective treatment than finasteride for conditions caused by DHT, like enlarged prostate and hair loss.

DHEA supplementation may improve quality of life, neuropsychological functions, and sexual satisfaction in individuals with adrenal insufficiency, but more research is needed to confirm its safety and effectiveness.

Testosterone affects hair follicles differently across body sites, with beard hair follicles showing more activity of a specific enzyme and presence of androgen receptors compared to scalp hair.

The substance MK386 effectively blocked testosterone conversion and reduced cell growth in certain skin cells, but inhibiting 5α-reductase alone may not greatly improve acne.

Monitoring steroid hormones in blood can better detect testosterone doping.

Taking Saw palmetto and Pygeum africana can change the levels of certain steroids in urine, which could cause confusion in doping tests.

A new method was created to analyze certain chemicals in the urine of alopecia areata patients, revealing they have higher metanephrine content. This method can also be used for other related diseases.

5ARI treatment improves PSA test accuracy for prostate cancer diagnosis.

Treatment restored normal sexual characteristics and blood condition in a patient with testicular cancer.

Researchers made two new compounds that could be used for medicine.

Equisetum debile extract may help with hair loss by inhibiting enzymes and reducing inflammation.

The equine epididymis mainly uses type 1 5α-reductase, and both finasteride and dutasteride can inhibit its activity.

Using anabolic-androgenic steroids can harm men's reproductive health and increase the risk of heart problems and death.

The topical solution increased hair count but wasn't significantly better than placebo in other measures.

The compound (1R,2S)-4-(2-Cyano-cyclohexyl-oxy)-2-trifluoromethyl-benzonitrile can stimulate hair growth and reduce oil production when applied topically.
