540-570 / 1000+ results research 4 Anti-androgens in gynaecological practice
Cyproterone acetate is effective for treating hirsutism and acne in women by blocking androgens in the skin and also works as a contraceptive.
research COVID‐19, androgens, and androgenic alopecia
COVID-19 may worsen with androgens; anti-androgen drugs could help.
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 Protective trend of anti-androgen therapy during the COVID-19 pandemic: A meta-analysis
Anti-androgen therapy might help protect against COVID-19 infection and reduce death risk.
research DHT and E2 synthesis-related proteins and receptors expression in male yak skin during different hair follicle stages
Male yak hair growth is influenced by DHT synthesis, which is promoted by 5α-red1 and AR during growth phases, while E2 may inhibit growth through ERα.
research Cardiac and Renal SARS-CoV-2 Viral Entry Protein Regulation by Androgens and Diet: Implications for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and COVID-19
Androgens and a high-fat diet may increase the risk of severe COVID-19 in women with PCOS by upregulating certain proteins in the heart and kidneys.
research Restricted effects of androgens on glucocorticoid signaling in the mouse prefrontal cortex and midbrain
Androgens can affect glucocorticoid signaling in specific mouse brain areas.
research The involvement of androgens in human hair growth
Androgens play a key role in hair growth and disorders like baldness and excessive hairiness.
research Moxibustion improves ovarian function based on the regulation of the androgen balance
Moxibustion may help improve ovarian function by changing androgen levels.
research Modulation of the canonical Wnt activity by androgen signaling in prostate epithelial basal stem cells
Androgen signaling reduces Wnt activity, affecting prostate stem cell growth.
research Vascular endothelial growth factor and its receptor may be one molecular mechanism for androgenetic alopecia
VEGF and its receptor might cause hair loss.
research Kelulut Honey Regulates Sex Steroid Receptors in a Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Rat Model
Kelulut Honey can help regulate sex hormone receptors in rats with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, similar to common medications.
research Identification of two additional novel mutations in the AR gene associated with severe forms of androgen insensitivity syndrome
Two new mutations in the AR gene linked to severe androgen insensitivity were found.
research Disruptors of Androgen Action and Synthesis
Certain pesticides and fungicides can interfere with male hormone functions, potentially causing reproductive issues in male rats.
research Androgen-associated and androgen-independent causes of alopecia and acne in women. Literature review
The document concludes that hair loss and acne in women can be due to both androgen-related and unrelated causes, requiring a collaborative treatment approach.
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 Cross-kingdom delivery and putative gene modulation of androgen pathways by plant-derived exosome-like nanoparticles from polygoni multiflori radix promotes hair growth via miRNA cargo
Plant-derived nanoparticles from Polygoni Multiflori Radix promote hair growth better than Minoxidil by affecting androgen pathways.
research 0885 The androgen-THY1 axis mediates sexual dimorphism in dermal adipogenesis and fibrosis
Androgens reduce THY1 in skin cells, leading to less fat, more fibrosis, and worse healing in males.
research Frontiers in the physiology of male pattern androgenetic alopecia: Beyond the androgen horizon
The exact cause of male pattern baldness is unclear, but it may involve factors beyond androgens, offering new treatment possibilities.
research Dietary Phytochemicals and their Impact on Androgen Disorders in Males
Dietary phytochemicals may help improve male hormonal health.
research Impacts of Age and Androgen Level on Albino Rat Meibomian Gland: Light & Electron Microscopic study
Age and androgen levels significantly affect meibomian gland structure and function.
research Supraphysiological Dose of Testosterone Impairs the Expression and Distribution of Sex Steroid Receptors during Endometrial Receptivity Development in Female Sprague–Dawley Rats
High doses of testosterone disrupt hormone levels and receptor expression in the uterus, affecting fertility.
research An adolescent girl presenting with primary amenorrhea: A case report of complete androgen insensitivity syndrome
A 15-year-old girl with no menstrual period was diagnosed with a genetic condition that makes her body unable to respond to male hormones, leading to female characteristics despite having male genetic makeup.
research Novel progestogenic androgens for male contraception: design, synthesis, and activity of C7 α-substituted testosterone
New testosterone analogs show promise for male contraception with better activity and potentially fewer side effects.
research 892 Behavior of the two circulating androgens testosterone and DHEA and their main intracellular metabolites in an androgen-sensitive sebocyte cell line
Testosterone affects androgen receptors and lipid storage in cells, while DHEA does not convert to testosterone or affect these receptors in the same way.
research Effects of vinblastine and its metabolites on nausea and alopecia associated receptors
Vinblastine and its metabolites may cause nausea and hair loss by binding to specific receptors and could lead to better chemotherapy drugs with fewer side effects.
research Androgen effects on the skin
Androgens like testosterone affect skin health and can lead to conditions such as acne and hair loss, with various treatments available.
research Androgen Signaling in Sertoli Cells
Androgens regulate Sertoli cells and affect fertility through specific receptors and coregulators.
research Targeting receptor–regulator interactions
New treatments for cancer and skin disorders show promise in disrupting harmful cell interactions and promoting hair growth.
