research Polymorphisms in androgen and estrogen receptor genes: effects on male aging
Changes in testosterone and estrogen receptor genes can affect how men age, influencing body fat, hair patterns, and possibly leading to skin disorders.
research The effect of minocycline on the metabolism of androgens by human oral periosteal fibroblasts and its inhibition by finasteride
Minocycline may cause hair loss by increasing DHT levels, but finasteride can help counteract this effect.
research AN ATTEMPT TO ASSESS THE MAGNITUDE OF ENDOGENOUS ANDROGEN PRODUCTION IN A CASE OF THE ADRENOGENITAL SYNDROME*
A 17-year-old female with adrenogenital syndrome produces very high levels of androgens, which prevent complete feminization despite high estrogen doses.
research The role of androgens in hormone replacement therapy
Androgen therapy can help with symptoms like low libido in women, but more research is needed to understand its long-term safety and effects on health.
research Glioblastoma cells express crucial enzymes involved in androgen synthesis: 3β‐hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, 17‐20α‐hydroxylase, 17β‐hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase and 5α‐reductase
Glioblastoma cells can make androgens, which might help the tumor grow.
research Biological Profile of Cortexolone 17a-Propionate (CB-03-01), a New Topical and Peripherally Selective Androgen Antagonist
CB-03-01 is a promising skin cream for treating hormone-related skin problems without causing harmful body-wide effects.

Adding dutasteride to therapy may improve treatment for advanced salivary duct cancer.
research Cognitive testing of a survey instrument for self-assessed menstrual cycle characteristics and androgen excess
The survey helps identify menstrual irregularities and excess male hormones, aiming to detect conditions like Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.
research Androgen receptor gene polymorphism and biological age markers in men
AR gene variations don't affect aging markers in men.
research Analysis of androgen receptor expression and activity in the mouse brain
Androgen receptors in the mouse brain may explain cognitive and mood changes in prostate cancer treatment.
research Advances in mitochondria-centered mechanism behind the roles of androgens and androgen receptor in the regulation of glucose and lipid metabolism
Androgens and androgen receptors are important for metabolic health, affecting how the body uses glucose and fats through mitochondrial function.
research Antiandrogens and Androgen Inhibitors
Antiandrogens and androgen inhibitors like spironolactone, finasteride, and dutasteride can treat hair loss and skin conditions, but they have risks and side effects, including potential harm to pregnant women and risks of cancer and heart issues. Herbal remedies also have antiandrogenic effects but lack safety validation.
research Unravelling the link between insulin resistance and androgen excess
AKR1C3 could be a treatment target for metabolic issues in PCOS.
research Modelling androgen synthesis and action during human sexual differentiation
Male sexual differentiation is regulated independently, while female differentiation occurs in an androgenic environment, affecting conditions like congenital adrenal hyperplasia.
research Androgen Therapy in Women: A Reappraisal: An Endocrine Society Clinical Practice Guideline
The guidelines advise against using testosterone and DHEA in women for most conditions due to safety and effectiveness concerns, but suggest considering testosterone for postmenopausal women with low sexual desire.
research Changes of androgens levels in menopausal women
Menopausal women have higher androgen levels, which can cause symptoms like facial hair growth and low sexual desire.
research Androgen replacement therapy in women
Androgen replacement therapy can improve libido and mood in women with severe androgen deficiency, but more research is needed on its long-term safety.
research 46,XY DSD due to impaired androgen production
Impaired androgen production in 46,XY DSDs causes ambiguous genitalia and requires long-term care.
research A novel finasteride 0.25% topical solution for androgenetic alopecia: pharmacokinetics and effects on plasma androgen levels in healthy male volunteers
New finasteride solution effectively reduces baldness-causing hormone, potentially with fewer side effects.

research Assessment of Cardiovascular Risk and Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease in Women with the Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: A Consensus Statement by the Androgen Excess and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (AE-PCOS) Society
Women with PCOS should be screened for heart disease risk and manage their health to prevent it.
research Physiopathology and current treatments of androgenetic alopecia: Going beyond androgens and anti‐androgens
Hair loss treatments work better with lifestyle changes.
research Skin bacteriota ameliorates androgenetic alopecia via harmonizing skin immuno inflammatory balance
Restoring skin bacteria may help reduce hair loss.
