research Regulation of masculinization: androgen signalling for external genitalia development
Male genital development is driven by androgen signaling and understanding it could help address congenital anomalies.
research Overexpression of aldo-keto reductase 1C3 (AKR1C3) in LNCaP cells diverts androgen metabolism towards testosterone resulting in resistance to the 5α-reductase inhibitor finasteride
Too much AKR1C3 enzyme causes resistance to finasteride by increasing testosterone.
research Recent positive selection of a human androgen receptor/ectodysplasin A2 receptor haplotype and its relationship to male pattern baldness
A specific genetic mutation may increase male pattern baldness risk, especially in Europeans.
research 5-α-Reductase type 2 deficiency: is there a genotype-phenotype correlation? A review
No consistent link between genotype and phenotype in 5-α-Reductase type 2 deficiency.
research Androgen Deprivation Therapy in Prostate Cancer: Focusing on Sexual Side Effects
Androgen Deprivation Therapy for prostate cancer often reduces sexual function but intermittent therapy may be more tolerable.
research Cardiovascular risk factors and events in women with androgen excess
Women with androgen excess, especially those with PCOS, have a much higher risk of heart disease and stroke.
research Androgen Receptor Accelerates Premature Senescence of Human Dermal Papilla Cells in Association with DNA Damage
Androgen receptor signaling causes early aging of cells important for hair growth by damaging their DNA.
research Inhibition of the Androgen Receptor by Antisense Oligonucleotides Regulates the Biological Activity of Androgens in SZ95 Sebocytes
Blocking the androgen receptor in skin cells reduces their growth response to male hormones, suggesting a possible treatment for skin conditions linked to androgens.
research DHT deficiency perturbs the integrity of the rat seminiferous epithelium by disrupting tight and adherens junctions
DHT deficiency can disrupt cell connections in rat testes, possibly affecting fertility.
research Androgen antagonists in androgen target tissues
Antiandrogens have important biological effects, but more research is needed to understand them fully and compare their effectiveness and side effects to other treatments.
research Altered brain and pituitary androgen metabolism by prenatal, perinatal or pre- and postnatal finasteride, flutamide or dihydrotestosterone treatment in juvenile male rats
Treatment during development affects hormone balance and sexual behavior in male rats.
research Non-canonical dimerization of the androgen receptor and other nuclear receptors: implications for human disease
Mutations in certain receptors can cause diseases and offer new treatment options.
research The diagnosis of nonclassic congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency, based on serum basal or post-ACTH stimulation 17-hydroxyprogesterone, can lead to false-positive diagnosis
Using 17-hydroxyprogesterone levels to diagnose nonclassic congenital adrenal hyperplasia can result in many incorrect diagnoses.
research Alterations in androgen conjugate levels in women and men with alopecia
People with hair loss may have different levels of certain hormones due to changes in hormone processing.
research Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia: A Disorder of Androgen Metabolism in the Male
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia may be caused by changes in how the body processes male hormones.
research Is acne a sign of androgen excess disorder or not?
Acne is an important sign of androgen excess disorders in women.
research Androgens modulate keratinocyte differentiation indirectly through enhancing growth factor production from dermal fibroblasts
Male hormones indirectly affect skin cell development by increasing growth factor levels from skin fibroblasts.
research Androgens trigger different growth responses in genetically identical human hair follicles in organ culture that reflect their epigenetic diversity in life
Male hormones cause different growth in identical human hair follicles due to their unique epigenetic characteristics.
research Prostate-Sparing Effects in Primates of the Potent Androgen 7α-Methyl-19-Nortestosterone: A Potential Alternative to Testosterone for Androgen Replacement and Male Contraception1
MENT could be a better option than testosterone for male hormone therapy and birth control because it works well at lower doses and has fewer side effects on the prostate.
research Molecular basis of androgen action on human sexual desire
Testosterone significantly affects sexual desire in both men and women, but its impact on women is more complex and influenced by psychological factors.
research Recent Advances in Drug Design and Drug Discovery for Androgen- Dependent Diseases
New treatments for prostate cancer and BPH show promise, including novel compounds that target hormone synthesis and response.
research Improving selective androgen receptor modulator discovery and preclinical evaluation
We need better ways to test and understand SARMs to make safer and more effective treatments.
research Androgenic alopecia: A counterproductive outcome of the anabolic effect of androgens
Male pattern baldness is an unintended side effect of the body's use of androgens for muscle growth, especially in those genetically prone to it.
research Androgens and hair: a biological paradox
Androgens can cause hair growth in some areas but hair loss on the scalp.
research Increased Scalp Skin and Serum 5a-Reductase Reduced Androgens in a Man Relevant to the Acquired Progressive Kinky Hair Disorder and Developing Androgenetic Alopecia
Reduced androgens linked to kinky hair disorder and hair loss; 5a-reductase inhibitors may help.
research Treatment of androgen excess in females: Yesterday, today and tomorrow
The document concludes that treating androgen excess needs patience, managing expectations is important, and many drugs used are not officially approved, suggesting cosmetic options for mild cases.
research CAG polymorphism in the androgen receptor gene in women may be associated with nodulocystic acne
Certain gene variations might be linked to severe acne in women but not in men.
research Anti-androgen therapy in dermatology: a review
Anti-androgens are effective for female acne but less so for male-pattern hair loss, with side effects similar to birth control pills.
research ANDROGEN METABOLISM AS IT AFFECTS HAIR GROWTH IN ANDROGENETIC ALOPECIA
Androgens, like DHT, affect hair growth and treatments like finasteride may help.
