research Role of androgens in female-pattern androgenetic alopecia, either alone or associated with other symptoms of hyperandrogenism
Androgens significantly affect female hair loss, and hormonal treatments may help.
research Androgen receptor gene CAG repeat polymorphism in women with polycystic ovary syndrome
Longer CAG repeat lengths in the androgen receptor gene are linked to higher testosterone levels in women with PCOS.
research No Evidence that 2D:4D is Related to the Number of CAG Repeats in the Androgen Receptor Gene
Finger length ratios are not linked to the number of specific gene repeats affecting testosterone sensitivity.
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 Androgen receptor gene CAG and GGN polymorphisms in infertile Nigerian men
Certain gene variations are not a major cause of male infertility in Nigerian men.
research Hepatic Adenoma in an Adolescent With Elevated Androgen Levels
A teenage girl with high androgen levels and PCOS developed a rare liver tumor, suggesting a possible link between high androgens and the tumor's growth.
