Research
30-60 / 1000+ results research Effects of aromatase inhibitors on human osteoblast and osteoblast-like cells: A possible androgenic bone protective effects induced by exemestane
Exemestane may protect bones by stimulating osteoblast growth through androgen-related pathways.
research Everything you want to know about androgens
Androgens affect behavior, hair, bones, muscles, and the heart, and can be used to treat certain conditions.
research Long-term Prophylaxis with Androgens in the management of Hereditary Angioedema (HAE) in emerging countries
Long-term use of androgens can help manage Hereditary Angioedema (HAE) but may cause serious side effects, so alternative treatments with fewer side effects are being considered.
research Synthesis and Study of Some 17a-aza-D-homo Steroids as 5α-Reductase Inhibitors
The research found that compound 6, a newly created steroid, is more effective at inhibiting 5α-reductase (an enzyme) than current treatments, suggesting it could be a better option for treating urinary tract symptoms in men.
research Dihydrotestosterone inhibits hair growth in mice by inhibiting insulin-like growth factor-I production in dermal papillae
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) stops hair growth in mice by lowering a growth factor important for hair.
research 5 Alpha-Reductase Inhibitor
5 Alpha-Reductase Inhibitors reduce the effects of testosterone by blocking its conversion into a stronger form.
research A randomized phase II trial on the addition of dutasteride to combined androgen blockade therapy versus combined androgen blockade therapy alone in patients with advanced or metastatic salivary duct carcinoma – the DUCT study protocol
Adding dutasteride to therapy may improve treatment for advanced salivary duct cancer.
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 Negative Impact of Testosterone Deficiency and 5α-Reductase Inhibitors Therapy on Metabolic and Sexual Function in Men
Low testosterone and 5α-reductase inhibitors can harm men's metabolic and sexual health; testosterone therapy may help, but discussing 5α-RIs' side effects is important.
research Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase (17β -HSD3, 17β-HSD5, and 3α-HSD3) Inhibitors:Extragonadal Regulation of Intracellular Sex Steroid Hormone Levels
Certain inhibitors can potentially treat prostate cancer and other hormone-dependent conditions by controlling sex hormone levels in cells.
research THE ROLE Of 5αR AND α1AR INHIBITORS IN MANAGEMENT OF BPH
Combining dutasteride or finasteride with an α1 blocker is more effective for managing BPH than using either alone.
research Testosterone stimulates proliferation and inhibits interleukin‐6 production of normal and hereditary gingival fibromatosis fibroblasts
Testosterone increases cell growth and reduces IL-6 in gum cells.
research Inhibition of 5α-Reductase Activity in SZ95 Sebocytes and HaCaT Keratinocytes In Vitro
The substance MK386 effectively blocked testosterone conversion and reduced cell growth in certain skin cells, but inhibiting 5α-reductase alone may not greatly improve acne.
