research Androgen binding profiles of two distinct nuclear androgen receptors in Atlantic croaker (Micropogonias undulatus)
Different types of androgens bind differently to two receptors, AR1 and AR2, in Atlantic croaker's brain and ovarian tissues, suggesting these receptors may control different androgen actions in fish.
research USE OF TOPICAL MINOXIDIL THERAPY FOR ANDROGENETIC ALOPECIA IN WOMEN
Minoxidil helps hair growth and reduces shedding in women.
research Psychological characteristics of women with androgenetic alopecia: a controlled study
Women with AGA often face anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem; psychological support is important.
research Regulatory roles of androgens in cutaneous wound healing
Testosterone may slow down wound healing and increase inflammation.
research The Evaluation of the Role of Androgens in Hirsutism and the Use of a New Anti-androgen “Cyproterone Acetate” for Therapy
Cyproterone acetate combined with ethinyl estradiol significantly reduced hirsutism in women.
research 5α-Reductase type 2 gene variant associations with prostate cancer risk, circulating hormone levels and androgenetic alopecia
A49T gene variant linked to higher prostate cancer risk, lower hormone levels, and slightly reduced balding risk.
research 6 Peripheral androgens and the role of androstanediol glucuronide
Androstanediol glucuronide is a reliable marker for hirsutism in women.
research Treatment of male pattern alopecia with platelet-rich plasma: A double-blind controlled study with analysis of platelet number and growth factor levels
Platelet-rich plasma treatment can significantly increase hair count and density in men with pattern baldness, and these improvements can last up to 3 months.
research Effect of 5α-Reductase Inhibitors on Sexual Function: A Meta-Analysis and Systematic Review of Randomized Controlled Trials
5α-reductase inhibitors increase the risk of sexual dysfunction, especially in men with enlarged prostate.
research Meta-analysis of efficacy of platelet-rich plasma therapy for androgenetic alopecia
PRP therapy may effectively treat hair loss, but more research needed.
research Treatment of Recurrent Priapism in Sickle Cell Anemia With Finasteride: A New Approach
Finasteride helps reduce priapism in sickle cell anemia patients.
research Steroidogenesis inhibitors alter but do not eliminate androgen synthesis mechanisms during progression to castration-resistance in LNCaP prostate xenografts
Steroidogenesis inhibitors change but don't stop androgen production in prostate cancer.
research Comparing the therapeutic effects of finasteride gel and tablet in treatment of the androgenetic alopecia
Finasteride gel is slightly more effective than the tablet for treating hair loss.
research Established risk factors for coronary heart disease are unrelated to androgen-induced baldness in female-to-male transsexuals
Baldness caused by male hormones in female-to-male transsexuals doesn't increase the risk of heart disease.
research Clinical, ultrasound and hormonal markers of androgenicity in acne vulgaris
Acne severity is linked to higher levels of certain androgenic hormones, even when those levels are within the normal range.
research Androgens in women
Androgens play a complex role in skin conditions like acne and hair loss in women, and normal blood levels don't always show true androgen status.
research Antiandrogenic Therapy With Finasteride Attenuates Cardiac Hypertrophy and Left Ventricular Dysfunction
Finasteride helps reduce heart issues and improves heart function.
research Recommendations for treatment of nonclassic congenital adrenal hyperplasia (NCCAH): An update
The document suggests treating individuals with nonclassic congenital adrenal hyperplasia who show symptoms, especially those related to excess male hormones.
research Pre-receptor regulation of the androgen receptor
Two enzymes regulate androgen receptor activity, affecting treatments for androgen insufficiency and benign prostatic hyperplasia.
research Comparison of the efficacy and safety of topical minoxidil and topical alfatradiol in the treatment of androgenetic alopecia in women
Minoxidil works better for female hair loss than alfatradiol, both safe.
research Hirsutism and the Variable Response of the Pilosebaceous Unit to Androgen
Different women's hair and skin glands respond to hormones in varied ways, which can cause unwanted hair growth even with normal hormone levels, and more research is needed to treat this effectively.
research GC-MS determination of steroids related to androgen biosynthesis in human hair with pentafluorophenyldimethylsilyl–trimethylsilyl derivatisation
The method accurately measures certain steroids in human hair, showing different levels in males and females.
research Induction of transforming growth factor-beta 1 by androgen is mediated by reactive oxygen species in hair follicle dermal papilla cells
Androgens increase a growth factor in hair cells by creating reactive oxygen species, and antioxidants might help treat hair loss.
research A neuroendocrinological perspective on human hair follicle pigmentation
Brain hormones significantly affect hair color and could potentially be used to prevent or reverse grey hair.
research Early Onset of Androgenetic Alopecia Associated With Early Severe Coronary Heart Disease: A Population-Based, Case-Control Study
Early balding linked to higher heart disease risk.
research Androgens and ovarian function: translation from basic discovery research to clinical impact
Androgens are important for female fertility and could help in IVF treatment, but also play a role in causing PCOS.
research Multi-therapies in androgenetic alopecia: review and clinical experiences
Multiple treatments work best for hair loss.
research Mucocutaneous side effects of antineoplastic chemotherapy
Chemotherapy often causes hair loss, nail changes, and mouth issues, but these are usually manageable.
research STEROIDS AND STEROID-LIKE COMPOUNDS
