research Androgens in postmenopausal women
Testosterone in older women can increase bone density, muscle mass, fat mass, improve memory, and boost libido, but may cause nipple color changes.
research Effects of the androgen receptor overexpression in prostate cancer
Androgen receptor overexpression can increase prostate cancer cell growth even without hormones.
research Design, Synthesis, and Biological Characterization of Metabolically Stable Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators
Researchers developed new compounds that target the androgen receptor effectively with fewer side effects.
research Recommendations for treatment of nonclassic congenital adrenal hyperplasia (NCCAH): An update
The document suggests treating individuals with nonclassic congenital adrenal hyperplasia who show symptoms, especially those related to excess male hormones.
research Increased frequency of the DI genotype of the angiotensin-I converting enzyme and association of the II genotype with insulin resistance in polycystic ovary syndrome
The study suggests certain ACE gene variations are more common in women with PCOS and may be linked to increased insulin resistance.
research ISID1343 - Efficacy of asymmetric siRNA targeting androgen receptor for the treatment of androgenetic alopecia
The conclusion is that a treatment called cp-asiAR can reduce hair loss and promote hair growth, making it a potential new therapy for androgenetic alopecia.
research Bioengineered polyester nanoparticles for the synergistic treatment of androgenic alopecia via the suppression of 5α-reductase and knockdown of androgen receptor
Bioengineered nanoparticles can effectively treat hair loss by targeting specific enzymes and receptors.
research Corrections to “Female Pattern Hair Loss and its Relationship to Permanent/Cicatricial Alopecia: A New Perspective”
Title change to "Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia (CCCA)"; common in African American women; hair-grooming methods may contribute; no effective therapy found; trials needed.
research Differential expression of steroid 5α-reductase isozymes and association with disease severity and angiogenic genes predict their biological role in prostate cancer
SRD5A1 is crucial in advanced prostate cancer, and blocking both SRD5A1 and SRD5A2 is more effective than targeting SRD5A2 alone.
research Biological activity of novel progesterone derivatives having a bulky ester side chains at C-3
The more lipophilic the progesterone derivative, the better it binds to androgen receptors and has antiandrogenic effects.
research Differences in Expression of Specific Biomarkers Distinguish Human Beard from Scalp Dermal Papilla Cells
Beard and scalp hair cells have different gene expressions, which may affect beard growth characteristics.
research Immunohistochemical Evaluation of Androgen Receptor and Nerve Structure Density in Human Prepuce from Patients with Persistent Sexual Side Effects after Finasteride Use for Androgenetic Alopecia
Finasteride, a hair loss drug, may cause long-term sexual side effects due to changes in hormone receptor levels.
research Relation of urinary stone disease with androgenetic alopecia and serum testosterone levels
Balding and low testosterone increase risk of urinary stones.
research Pharmacological Options for Treatment of Hyperandrogenic Disorders
Different drugs can treat high male hormone levels in women, but they have various effects and some may harm a fetus.
research Clascoterone as a novel treatment for androgenetic alopecia
Clascoterone may be a promising treatment for hair loss.
research Effects of 5‐alpha reductase inhibitors on lung function: A reason for discontinuation duringCOVID ‐19 pandemic?
5-alpha reductase inhibitors might worsen lung recovery in COVID-19 patients, suggesting a pause in their use.
research Use of genetics in the prediction of success in male pattern hair loss therapy and mechanistic studies
Genetics can help tailor treatments for male pattern hair loss, improving outcomes like stabilization or modest regrowth.
research Low-Dose Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO) Suppresses Androgen Receptor (AR) and Its Splice Variant AR-V7 in Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer (CRPC) Cells
Low-dose DMSO may help treat castration-resistant prostate cancer by reducing key cancer cell receptors.
research Alopecia: managing the basics
The document concludes that treatments for female hair loss and excess body hair are available, but managing expectations is important.
research The Interplay between Finasteride-Induced Androgen Imbalance, Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress, Oxidative Stress, and Liver Disorders in Paternal and Filial Generation
Finasteride in male rats causes liver and metabolic issues in their offspring.
research Development of polycystic ovary syndrome: involvement of genetic and environmental factors
PCOS is caused by both genetics and environmental factors like diet and obesity.
research Selective androgen receptor modulators (SARMs) have specific impacts on the mouse uterus
GTx-024 and Danazol affect the uterus like DHT, while GTx-007 has little impact.
research An updated review of the sebaceous gland and its role in health and diseases Part 1: Embryology, evolution, structure, and function of sebaceous glands
Sebaceous glands in our skin, developing during pregnancy and active in puberty, produce sebum for skin lubrication, temperature control, and fighting germs, also help in hormone regulation, and their dysfunction can cause conditions like acne and hair loss.
research Mild Cutaneous Manifestation in Two Young Women with Extraordinary Hyperandrogenemia
Two women with very high androgen levels had only slight skin issues, one due to a non-classical adrenal disorder and the other due to an adrenal tumor.
