The same hormone can affect gene expression differently in various tissues, which could lead to new treatments for conditions like hair loss.
research Androgen- and Estrogen-Secreting Adrenal Cancers
Rare adrenal cancers that secrete androgens or estrogens have a poor prognosis and are treated primarily with surgery.
research (1R,2S)-4-(2-Cyano-cyclohexyl-oxy)-2-trifluoromethyl-benzonitrile, a potent androgen receptor antagonist for stimulating hair growth and reducing sebum production
The compound (1R,2S)-4-(2-Cyano-cyclohexyl-oxy)-2-trifluoromethyl-benzonitrile can stimulate hair growth and reduce oil production when applied topically.
