Researchers found a gene in hamsters that responds to male hormones and may be indirectly controlled by them.

Combining flutamide and finasteride can reduce prostate weight and tumor growth, potentially benefiting treatments needing optimal DHT inhibition.

New findings explain how genetic changes, body clocks, and certain molecules affect tissue response to stress hormones.

AKR1D1 controls glucocorticoid levels and receptor activity in liver cells.

A certain genetic variation is linked to a higher risk of polycystic ovarian syndrome.

Protease Nexin-1 is found in human hair growth cells and is affected by male hormones.

Androgens cause skin issues like acne and hair growth in women, often due to PCOS, and can be treated with medication and lifestyle changes.

The vitamin D receptor is involved in multiple body functions beyond calcium regulation, including immune response and rapid reactions not related to gene activity.

Experts recommend using evidence-based methods to diagnose and treat hirsutism, focusing on symptoms and underlying causes.

The Endocrine Society advised against routine testosterone therapy for women, citing a need for more research on long-term safety and a clear definition of androgen deficiency.

Hirsutism is more linked to high androgen levels than acne or hair loss, and a mix of hormonal tests is best for diagnosis; certain treatments can reduce symptoms.

Androgens block hair growth by disrupting cell signals; targeting GSK-3 may help treat hair loss.

Scientists made the first metal-based compounds from a nonsteroidal antiandrogen drug, which showed potential in fighting both hormone-dependent and independent prostate cancer cells.

The conclusion is that managing androgen excess requires long-term treatment, including hormonal contraceptives and androgen blockers, with follow-up after six months.

Androgens play a role in female sexual function, and testosterone therapy can help women with low sexual desire, but more research is needed on treatments and long-term safety.

Overexpressing the mineralocorticoid receptor in mouse skin causes skin thinning, early skin barrier development, eye issues, and hair loss.

Androgens play a complex role in skin conditions like acne and hair loss in women, and normal blood levels don't always show true androgen status.

Androgen conjugates might be better indicators of skin sensitivity to hormones in women with excessive hair growth.

Use "female pattern hair loss" term, assess androgen excess, treat with minoxidil and other medications if needed.

Androgens prevent hair growth by changing Wnt signals in cells.

An extract from Quercus acutissima bark was found to reduce sebum production and block an enzyme linked to acne.

Androgen Deprivation Therapy for prostate cancer often reduces sexual function but intermittent therapy may be more tolerable.

Finasteride irreversibly affects human steroid 5α-reductase 2, providing insight into its catalytic mechanism and disease-related mutations.

Using anabolic androgenic steroids can cause serious, lasting health problems in many parts of the body.

New steroid compounds effectively inhibit 5α-reductase and may treat hair loss.

Megestrol acetate helps fat-derived stem cells grow, move, and turn into fat cells through a specific receptor.

Researchers developed a reliable way to measure hormones in urine, showing that a baldness treatment doesn't change hormone levels.

Androgen therapy can help with symptoms like low libido in women, but more research is needed to understand its long-term safety and effects on health.

Finasteride blocks progesterone production in specific tumor cells, potentially causing side effects.

A protein called ectodysplasin-A2 increases a hair growth inhibitor in balding cells, which could be a target for hair loss treatment.
