780-810 / 1000+ resultsresearch Mechanisms that regulate androgen receptor transcriptional activity
DHT enhances androgen receptor activity more than testosterone, and MAGE-11 influences this activity through specific interactions.

research Increased Scalp Skin and Serum 5a-Reductase Reduced Androgens in a Man Relevant to the Acquired Progressive Kinky Hair Disorder and Developing Androgenetic Alopecia
Reduced androgens linked to kinky hair disorder and hair loss; 5a-reductase inhibitors may help.
research 1 Androgens
Testosterone is made by Leydig cells, is active when not bound to proteins, and works by binding to receptors in muscles and other tissues.
research 5 Alpha-reductase inhibitors: whatʼs new?
A new drug, dutasteride, is at least as effective as the older drug, finasteride, for treating enlarged prostate and may have additional uses.
research Mechanism of action of androgen in hair follicles
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.
research Role of Anti-Androgens in the Management of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
Anti-androgens help manage PCOS symptoms like excess hair and acne.
research Role of Anti-Androgens in the Management of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
Anti-androgens help manage PCOS symptoms like excess hair and acne.

Hormonal status from androgen deprivation therapy may affect COVID-19 severity in men.
research Comparative Efficacy of Oral and Topical 5-Alpha Reductase Inhibitors in Reducing Dihydrotestosterone levels across Men with Androgenetic Alopecia: A Network Meta-Analysis incorporating Post-Hoc Analyses of Randomized Clinical Trial Data
Oral and topical 5-alpha reductase inhibitors affect DHT levels and hair density differently in treating hair loss.
research Effects of 5-alpha reductase inhibitors on erectile function, sexual desire and ejaculation
5-alpha reductase inhibitors can cause sexual side effects like erectile dysfunction and reduced sexual desire, sometimes lasting after stopping the drug.
research Search for New antineoplastic agents based on structural modifications of steroidal 5α-reductase, 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, and 17α-hydroxylase/17,20-lyase inhibitors
Modifying steroidal inhibitors shows promise for developing new cancer treatments.

Steroids, particularly estrogens and 5α-reductase inhibitors, affect blood vessel-related hair growth processes in hair follicle cells.
research A Mutation of the Androgen Receptor Associated with Partial Androgen Resistance, Familial Gynecomastia, and Fertility*
A subtle androgen receptor abnormality can allow normal male development and sometimes fertility despite partial androgen resistance.

Methylation in specific gene region causes finasteride resistance in some BPH patients.
research Androgens trigger different growth responses in genetically identical human hair follicles in organ culture that reflect their epigenetic diversity in life
Male hormones cause different growth in identical human hair follicles due to their unique epigenetic characteristics.
research Classification scale for male and female androgenetic alopecia.
Scale created to measure hair loss in men and women; MK-386 reduces acne; Niaspan treats dyslipidemia; minoxidil increases heart rate.
