research Hair follicle stem cell differentiation is inhibited through cross‐talk between Wnt/β‐catenin and androgen signalling in dermal papilla cells from patients with androgenetic alopecia
Androgens block hair growth by disrupting cell signals; targeting GSK-3 may help treat hair loss.
research 5α‐Reductase Isozymes and Androgen Actions in the Prostate
5α‐reductase isozymes are crucial for prostate development and health, and targeting them can help prevent and treat prostate issues.
research Androgen excess: Investigations and management
The conclusion is that managing androgen excess requires long-term treatment, including hormonal contraceptives and androgen blockers, with follow-up after six months.
research The E211 G>A Androgen Receptor Polymorphism Is Associated with a Decreased Risk of Metastatic Prostate Cancer and Androgenetic Alopecia
E211 G>A gene linked to lower risk of severe prostate cancer and hair loss.
research Androgens and Female Sexual Function and Dysfunction—Findings From the Fourth International Consultation of Sexual Medicine
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.
research The Transcriptional Co-Activator cAMP Response Element-Binding Protein-Binding Protein Is Expressed in Prostate Cancer and Enhances Androgen- and Anti-Androgen-Induced Androgen Receptor Function
A protein called CBP is found in prostate cancer and can increase the effectiveness of certain prostate cancer treatments.
research Revising the role of the androgen receptor in breast cancer
The document concludes that targeting the androgen receptor may be a promising breast cancer treatment, especially for certain types.
research Expression of mRNA for androgen receptor, 5alpha-reductase and 17beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase in human dermal papilla cells
Hair sensitivity to androgens is partly controlled by specific enzyme expressions in different hair areas.
research Androgen Action in the Ovary
Androgens are important for normal ovarian function and estrogen production, but may not be the main cause of follicle death.
research Vitamin D and androgen receptor-targeted therapy for triple-negative breast cancer
Targeting vitamin D and androgen receptors may effectively treat triple-negative breast cancer, especially with chemotherapy.
research Androgen binding profiles of two distinct nuclear androgen receptors in Atlantic croaker (Micropogonias undulatus)
Different types of androgens bind differently to two receptors, AR1 and AR2, in Atlantic croaker's brain and ovarian tissues, suggesting these receptors may control different androgen actions in fish.
research Androgens in women
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.
research Androgen Conjugates: Physiology and Clinical Significance
Androgen conjugates might be better indicators of skin sensitivity to hormones in women with excessive hair growth.
research 8 Hair follicles and associated glands as androgen targets
Androgens like testosterone affect hair growth and oil production differently across body parts and individuals.
research Post-transcriptional Regulation of Keratinocyte Progenitor Cell Expansion, Differentiation and Hair Follicle Regression by miR-22
miR-22, a type of microRNA, controls hair growth and its overproduction can cause hair loss, while its absence can speed up hair growth.
research The therapeutic use of androgens in women
Testosterone replacement may improve sexual desire and bone health in women with low androgen levels, but more research is needed on its long-term safety.
research Hidradenitis suppurativa: an-androgen-dependent disorder
Hidradenitis suppurativa improves with antiandrogen therapy.
research Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) and Other Androgen Excess–Related Conditions: Can Changes in Dietary Intake Make a Difference?
Dietary changes, including weight loss and a balanced diet, are important for managing PCOS, especially in overweight women.
research Androgens modify Wnt agonists/antagonists expression balance in dermal papilla cells preventing hair follicle stem cell differentiation in androgenetic alopecia
Androgens prevent hair growth by changing Wnt signals in cells.
research Recent positive selection of a human androgen receptor/ectodysplasin A2 receptor haplotype and its relationship to male pattern baldness
A specific genetic mutation may increase male pattern baldness risk, especially in Europeans.
research Androgens and Antiandrogens
Male hormones, or androgens, affect women's health in areas like mood and bone density, and hormone replacement therapy using antiandrogenic progestogens can improve mood disorders and alertness in menopausal women.
research Androgens Affect the Activity of Human Sebocytes in Culture in a Manner Dependent on the Localization of the Sebaceous Glands and Their Effect Is Antagonized by Spironolactone
Male hormones affect oil-producing skin cells differently based on their body location, and the drug spironolactone can reduce these effects.
research Androgen modulation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling in androgenetic alopecia
Androgens may block hair growth signals, targeting this could treat hair loss.
research Androgen Deprivation Therapy in Prostate Cancer: Focusing on Sexual Side Effects
Androgen Deprivation Therapy for prostate cancer often reduces sexual function but intermittent therapy may be more tolerable.

Androgens may influence T cells, contributing to higher autoimmune liver disease risk in women.
research Cardiovascular risk factors and events in women with androgen excess
Women with androgen excess, especially those with PCOS, have a much higher risk of heart disease and stroke.
research Female pattern hair loss, sebum excretion and the end-organ response to androgens
Hair loss in women not always linked to increased oil production; other factors may be involved.

Androgen receptor signaling causes early aging of cells important for hair growth by damaging their DNA.
research Androgen treatment of postmenopausal women
Testosterone therapy can improve sexual desire and function in postmenopausal women but should be used cautiously and not based solely on testosterone levels.
