The same hormone can affect gene expression differently in various tissues, which could lead to new treatments for conditions like hair loss.
research Early embryonic exposure of freshwater gastropods to pharmaceutical 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors results in a surprising open-coiled “banana-shaped” shell
Certain drugs change freshwater snail shells to a "banana" shape.
research Hirsutism and virilization
Excessive hair growth in women can be harmless or signal serious health issues, and treatment often includes medication and hair removal, with noticeable results after 3-6 months.
research Immunological aspects and gender bias during respiratory viral infections including novel Coronavirus disease‐19 (COVID‐19): A scoping review
Men are more likely to have severe respiratory viral infections like COVID-19 due to hormonal and genetic differences, while women generally have stronger immune responses.
research Synthesis of 17β-N-arylcarbamoylandrost-4-en-3-one derivatives and their anti-proliferative effect on human androgen-sensitive LNCaP cell line
Compounds 6f and 6g effectively stop prostate cancer cell growth without harming healthy cells.
research Finasteride-Induced Inhibition of 5α-Reductase Type 2 Could Lead to Kidney Damage—Animal, Experimental Study
Finasteride may cause kidney damage.
research Hirsutism
Most women with excessive hair growth have PCOS; treatment varies and focuses on preventing new hair, with electrolysis as the only permanent removal method.
research Influence of Dosing Time on the Efficacy and Safety of Finasteride in Rats
Dosing time affects finasteride's effectiveness and safety in rats.
research Androgenetic alopecia and hair growth promotion state of the art: Present and future
Current research explores hair growth drugs, while future research aims for personalized treatments.
research The Role of 11-Oxygenated Androgens and Endocrine Disruptors in Androgen Excess Disorders in Women
PCOS involves high 11-oxygenated androgens and BPA may worsen it, while IH is not inflammatory.
research Transcriptomics analysis reveals molecular alterations underpinning spaceflight dermatology
Spaceflight can harm skin health by altering gene expression, affecting DNA, mitochondria, and skin barriers.
research Endocrinopathies and Other Disorders Inducing a Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Phenotype
Some conditions mimic PCOS symptoms and need careful diagnosis to treat potentially serious health issues.
research What does the research say about androgen use and cerebrovascular events?
Androgen use may increase the risk of stroke, but more research is needed.
research Endocrine disorders and hormonal therapy for adolescent acne
Hormonal therapies are safe and effective for treating acne in female adolescents, with specific treatments for those with endocrine disorders.
research Active Antialopecia Chemical Identification of Merremia peltata Leaves and Computational Study toward Androgen Receptor Using Molecular Docking and Molecular Dynamic Simulation
Merremia peltata leaf extract, particularly the bufotalinin compound, shows potential for treating hair loss.
research Glucocorticoid and Sex Hormone Receptors: Clinical Implications and Therapeutic Relevance
Glucocorticoids and sex hormones affect skin health, with potential for targeted treatments to minimize side effects and treat skin conditions.
research Angelica gigas Nakai (Korean Dang-gui) Root Alcoholic Extracts in Health Promotion and Disease Therapy – active Phytochemicals and In Vivo Molecular Targets
Angelica gigas Nakai root extracts may help with cancer, pain, memory loss, and metabolic issues.
research The Mechanisms of Anabolic Steroids, Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators and Myostatin Inhibitors
Anabolic steroids boost muscle growth, SARMs increase muscle mass and bone density without side effects, and myostatin inhibitors block a protein that stops muscle growth, but each has potential risks.
research High-throughput and direct measurement of androgen levels using turbulent flow chromatography liquid chromatography-triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (TFC-LC-TQMS) to discover chemicals that modulate dihydrotestosterone production in human prostate cancer cells
Researchers found four natural compounds that can change DHT levels in prostate cancer cells.
research Adrenal Cortex Tumors and Hyperplasias
Most adrenal cortex tumors are benign and non-secreting, but proper diagnosis and treatment are important due to the rare possibility of cancer.
research An isotope dilution-liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry-based candidate reference measurement procedure for the quantification of dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate in human serum and plasma
A new method accurately measures DHEAS in blood, improving on current tests.
research Urinary steroid metabolome shows adrenal, gonadal, and neuroactive steroid dysregulation in adolescents with depression
Depressed teens have different steroid levels in urine, which may help identify and treat them.
research Exploring phytoandrogens: A review of their potential in health and medicine
Phytoandrogens from plants may help treat low testosterone naturally.
research The potential of androgenic alopecia management from plant derivatives
Plant extracts like Avicennia marina, Boehmeria nipononivea, and Camellia sinensis could potentially treat hair loss with fewer side effects than synthetic drugs.
research Adrenal and Gonadal Activity, Androgen Concentrations, and Adult Height Outcomes in Boys With Silver-Russell Syndrome
Higher androgen levels during puberty are linked to shorter adult height in boys with Silver-Russell syndrome.
research Does Dietary Fatty Acid, Decanoic Acid, Prevent Polycystic Ovary Syndrome?
