A new compound was created in 2010 that can control oil production when applied to the skin, and its effects are completely reversible after two weeks.

Scientists made a chemical (compound 4e) that can be applied on skin to reduce oil production, which can help with acne, but it might cause skin sensitivity to light.

Certain gene variations might be linked to severe acne in women but not in men.

Androgens reduce BMP2, which weakens the ability of certain cells to help hair stem cells become different types of cells.

Certain Dibenzo derivatives may help treat prostate cancer.

Prostate cancer cells can make their own androgens to activate the androgen receptor, and treatments like abiraterone may increase this ability, suggesting new therapies should target the entire steroid-making pathway.

MK-0773 safely increased muscle mass but did not improve muscle strength or function in elderly women with sarcopenia.

Certain genetic variations in the AR and ERβ genes can affect androgen levels in women.

Hair sensitivity to androgens is partly controlled by specific enzyme expressions in different hair areas.

Targeting vitamin D and androgen receptors may effectively treat triple-negative breast cancer, especially with chemotherapy.

Longer CAG repeat lengths in the androgen receptor gene are linked to higher testosterone levels in women with PCOS.

Blocking DHT production more strongly may help control advanced prostate cancer and improve quality of life.

Menopausal women have higher androgen levels, which can cause symptoms like facial hair growth and low sexual desire.

Taking spironolactone and linestrenol for androgen excess can lead to lower bone density in young women.

African American men with prostate cancer have more androgen receptor mutations, which may lead to more aggressive cancer compared to Caucasian American men.

Scientists have developed a new method to detect steroid abuse in athletes using cell-based tests, which could be the future of anti-doping methods.

Finasteride reduces dihydrotestosterone, increases testosterone, and may treat hirsutism in women.

High levels of male hormones in pregnant mice cause heart enlargement and poor heart function in their female babies.

Finasteride may improve prostate cancer treatment outcomes.

Two non-steroidal antiandrogens, RU 58841 and RU 56187, form a common metabolite at different rates, which may influence their effects; RU 56187 could be used for prostate cancer treatment and RU 58841 for acne treatment.

New compounds can block testosterone effects in rats and might help treat conditions like prostate cancer and acne.

Rare adrenal cancers that secrete androgens or estrogens have a poor prognosis and are treated primarily with surgery.

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

Chemicals called 4-(alkylthio)- and 4-(arylthio)-benzonitrile derivatives can potentially reduce oil production on skin, which could help treat conditions like acne and hair loss.

Lower ghrelin levels and certain gene variations may increase acne risk.

Researchers developed a reliable way to measure hormones in urine, showing that a baldness treatment doesn't change hormone levels.

Longer CAG repeats in gene linked to more severe hair loss in females.

Using two drugs together, Flutamide and 4-MA, is more effective for blocking male hormones than using each one alone.

Understanding how androgens work is key for creating new treatments for prostate issues and hair/skin conditions.

No significant link between CAG repeat numbers and female pattern hair loss in Han Chinese population.
