Androgen conjugates might be better indicators of skin sensitivity to hormones in women with excessive hair growth.
research Basics of androgen synthesis and action
Androgens like testosterone are important hormones for both men and women, made differently in each sex and affecting the body by regulating genes and quick interactions with cell components.
research 7 Regulation of androgen receptor and 5α-reductase in the skin of normal and hirsute women
The exact cause of increased 5α-reductase activity leading to hirsutism in women is still unknown.
research Prescribing testosterone and DHEA: The role of androgens in women
Testosterone and DHEA can benefit women's health but must be prescribed carefully due to potential risks.

Treatment during development affects hormone balance and sexual behavior in male rats.
research Contribution of androgens to chronic allograft nephropathy is mediated by dihydrotestosterone
Male hormones worsen kidney transplant damage, but blocking them helps.
research Prostate-Sparing Effects in Primates of the Potent Androgen 7α-Methyl-19-Nortestosterone: A Potential Alternative to Testosterone for Androgen Replacement and Male Contraception1
MENT could be a better option than testosterone for male hormone therapy and birth control because it works well at lower doses and has fewer side effects on the prostate.
research Androgens in Women – Critical Evaluation of the Methods for Their Determination in Diagnostics of Endocrine Disorders
The conclusion is that standardizing testosterone measurement methods is essential for better diagnosis accuracy in women.
research Polymorphism of CAG and GGN repeats of androgen receptor gene in women with polycystic ovary syndrome
Longer GGN repeats in the androgen receptor gene are linked to polycystic ovary syndrome.
research Prolongation of off-cycle interval by finasteride is not associated with survival improvement in intermittent androgen deprivation therapy in LNCaP tumor model
Finasteride doesn't improve survival in LNCaP tumor model during off-cycle of therapy.
research The role of pre-operative androgen stimulation in hypospadias surgery.
Pre-operative hormone treatment for hypospadias surgery might improve outcomes, but more research is needed to confirm.
research Combined oral contraceptives promote androgen receptor and oestrogen receptor alpha upregulation in the female prostate (Skene’s paraurethral glands) of adult gerbils (Meriones unguiculatus)
Birth control pills increase certain receptor activities in female gerbil prostate glands and can lead to prostate changes.
research FINASTERIDE INHIBITS 5?-REDUCTASE ACTIVITY IN HUMAN DERMAL FIBROBLASTS: PREDICTION OF ITS THERAPEUTIC APPLICATION IN ANDROGEN-RELATED SKIN DISEASES
Finasteride helps treat skin issues like acne and baldness by blocking testosterone conversion.
research Clinical Evaluation of Women Presenting with Low Libido and Determination of Whether Androgen Therapy Might Be Appropriate
Androgen therapy might help some women with low libido, but it has risks and should be used carefully.
research Pharmacologically altered Androgens, Brain Activation and Response Inhibition in a Stop-Signal Task in Male Heavy Drinkers
Lower DHT and higher testosterone levels increase brain activation but don't change behavior in heavy drinkers.
research Androgen deprivation therapy and hormonal status in men with COVID-19
Hormonal status from androgen deprivation therapy may affect COVID-19 severity in men.
research Unravelling the link between insulin resistance and androgen excess
AKR1C3 could be a treatment target for metabolic issues in PCOS.
research Androgens and Cardiovascular Disease
Male hormones may play a role in the development of heart disease, and more research is needed to understand their effects.
research Epidemiology, diagnosis and management of hirsutism: a consensus statement by the Androgen Excess and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Society
Experts recommend using evidence-based methods to diagnose and treat hirsutism, focusing on symptoms and underlying causes.
research Androgen Therapy in Women: An Endocrine Society Clinical Practice Guideline
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.
research Fetal Programming of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome by Androgen Excess: Evidence from Experimental, Clinical, and Genetic Association Studies
Exposure to too much androgen before birth might cause polycystic ovary syndrome later in life.
research Sebocytes are the Key Regulators of Androgen Homeostasis in Human Skin
Sebocytes play a key role in controlling androgen levels in human skin.
research Sex differences in COVID-19: the role of androgens in disease severity and progression
Male hormones like testosterone may make COVID-19 worse, and testing for sensitivity to these hormones could help predict how severe a patient's symptoms might be. Treatments that reduce these hormones are being explored.
