research Comparison of Spironolactone, Flutamide, and Finasteride Efficacy in the Treatment of Hirsutism: A Randomized, Double Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial1
Spironolactone most effective for hirsutism, but has side effects.
research Inhibition of progesterone metabolism mimics the effect of progesterone withdrawal on forced swim test immobility
Blocking progesterone metabolism can cause depression-like behavior in mice.

The new compounds may be more effective and cheaper than current treatments for conditions like baldness.
research Pharmacology of antiandrogens
Antiandrogens affect androgen-dependent body functions and are used for various medical conditions, with some risks like fetus feminization, but new forms like 17α-propylmesterolone show promise for acne without systemic effects.
research Reply from the Authors
Correcting their experiment, the authors confirmed β-estradiol affects hair growth in mice.
research Effect of MK-386, a novel inhibitor of type 1 5 alpha-reductase, alone and in combination with finasteride, on serum dihydrotestosterone concentrations in men
research Phase 2, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study of the safety and efficacy of elagolix in women with polycystic ovary syndrome
Elagolix did not effectively treat polycystic ovary syndrome.
research Oral finasteride use and sexual adverse events: signal detection from disproportionality analyses of data from the United States Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System
Oral finasteride may cause more sexual side effects than expected, possibly due to negative publicity and reporting bias.
research Non-clinical safety evaluation and risk assessment to human of aleglitazar, a dual PPAR α/γ agonist, and its major human metabolite
Aleglitazar and its major metabolite are safe enough to proceed to Phase 3 clinical trials.
research Finasteride treatment and neuroactive steroid formation.
Finasteride treatment can decrease certain steroids and increase others, possibly leading to depression symptoms in some cases.
research Finasteride-related sexual and neuropsychiatric AEs
research Androgen insufficiency in women: diagnostic and therapeutic implications
Testosterone replacement can help women with low libido and mood, but they need to have enough estrogen first to avoid side effects.
research Treatment of female pattern hair loss with the androgen receptor antagonist flutamide
Flutamide improves female hair loss when other treatments fail, but may cause liver toxicity.
research LB1047 Comparative analysis of cutaneous hormonal profiles in pre-menopausal and post-menopausal women
Skin hormone levels change significantly after menopause.
research The influence of non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA) on the ovarian production of androgens in a context of in vitro fertilisation (IVF) – preliminary results
High levels of fatty acids are linked to increased androgen production and inflammation in women with PCOS, which may affect IVF outcomes.
research Pubertal hormones increase hippocampal expression of α4βδ GABAA receptors
Hormones during puberty increase certain receptors in the brain, and this change is influenced by estrogen levels.

research Estimation of serum aldosterone, free testosterone and DHEA-S and scalp androgen and aldosterone receptors in female androgenetic alopecia. Is the mystery solved?
High aldosterone and free testosterone levels link to female hair loss; testing aldosterone may predict hypertension risk.
research The Distribution of Estrogen Receptor β Is Distinct to That of Estrogen Receptor α and the Androgen Receptor in Human Skin and the Pilosebaceous Unit
Estrogen Receptor ß (ERß) is the main hormone controller in human skin and hair follicles, not Estrogen Receptor α (ERα) or the Androgen Receptor (AR).
research An assessment of (1) cyproterone acetate and (2) ethinyl oestradiol and lynoestrenol (Minilyn) in the treatment of idiopathic hirsutism
Cyproterone acetate can effectively treat idiopathic hirsutism, but ethinyl oestradiol and lynoestrenol may not always reduce hair growth.
