research Polymorphisms in androgen and estrogen receptor genes: effects on male aging
Changes in testosterone and estrogen receptor genes can affect how men age, influencing body fat, hair patterns, and possibly leading to skin disorders.
research Rational Design of a Topical Androgen Receptor Antagonist for the Suppression of Sebum Production with Properties Suitable for Follicular Delivery
A new compound was created in 2010 that can control oil production when applied to the skin, and its effects are completely reversible after two weeks.
research Potential Involvement of the Stem Cell Factor Receptor c-kit in Alopecia Areata and Androgenetic Alopecia: Histopathological, Immunohistochemical, and Semiquantitative Investigations
c-kit affects hair growth and color in alopecia areata and androgenetic alopecia.
research Effects of the anti-androgen finasteride on 5α-reduction of androgens in the presence of progesterone in human gingival fibroblasts: modulatory actions of the alkaline phosphatase inhibitor levamisole
Finasteride reduces testosterone conversion, progesterone lessens this, and levamisole enhances finasteride's effect.
research The androgen receptor gene polyglycine repeat polymorphism is associated with memory performance in healthy Chinese individuals
Certain gene variations are linked to better memory in healthy Chinese women.
research Androgens downregulate BMP2 impairing the inductive role of dermal papilla cells on hair follicle stem cells differentiation
Androgens reduce BMP2, which weakens the ability of certain cells to help hair stem cells become different types of cells.
research Development of fluridil, a topical suppressor of the androgen receptor in androgenetic alopecia
Fluridil promotes hair growth safely and effectively for androgenetic alopecia.
research Alopecia areata – hyperactivity of the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis is a myth?
The study found no significant difference in stress hormone levels between people with alopecia areata and healthy individuals, suggesting that the disease is not caused by an overactive stress response system.
research Maintenance of optimised hair growth from viable terminal scalp hair follicles at baseline with oral finasteride in male pattern hair loss and first evidence of a “drug dependency” and a post-finasteride “rebound effect”.
Finasteride helps hair growth but stopping it causes faster hair loss.
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 The evaluation and treatment of androgen excess
High androgen levels can cause excessive hair growth and may indicate serious health issues, including heart disease and fertility problems.
research Updated meta-analysis of the relation between heart disease and androgenic alopecia or alopecia areata
Men with male pattern baldness have a higher chance of heart disease, especially if they're younger or have severe baldness; no link was found with another type of baldness called alopecia areata.
research Development and Validation of Androgen-induced Hair Loss and Anagen Induction Mouse Models for Pharmacological Evaluation of Anti-Androgenic Agents
The mouse models are effective for testing new hair loss treatments.
research Serum androgens and prostate-specific antigen levels in androgenetic alopecia: is there a difference between frontal and vertex baldness?
Vertex baldness has higher DHT levels than frontal baldness, but testosterone and PSA levels are similar.
research Androgen replacement therapy in women
Androgen replacement therapy can improve libido and mood in women with severe androgen deficiency, but more research is needed on its long-term safety.
research Local synthesis and function of neuro-estrogen and neuro-androgen: impact on the hippocampus-related cognition and neuronal plasticity
Neurosteroids like neuro-estrogen and neuro-androgen are crucial for brain function and can improve cognition and protect against aging-related decline.
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 Advances in Knowledge of Androgens: How Intentional and Accidental Neurosteroid Changes Inform Us of Their Action and Role
Finasteride can have lasting negative effects on brain function and behavior by disrupting neurosteroid production.
research Concomitant immobilization of androgen receptors and 5α- reductase in androgenic alopecia
Anagen grow may effectively treat hair loss by blocking testosterone and reducing enzyme activity.
research Immunoglobulin E and Serum Interleukin-13 and Bacteria in Patients with Alopecia Areata
Alopecia areata patients have higher IgE and IL-13 levels, suggesting immune involvement.
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 Design and synthesis of novel androgen receptor antagonists with sterically bulky icosahedral carboranes
New compounds with carborane showed anti-androgen effects similar to flutamide.
research Illness perception in patients with androgenetic alopecia and alopecia areata in China
Illness perception affects mental health and quality of life in Chinese alopecia patients.
research Hair Growth in a Patient with Alopecia Areata on Tocilizumab
A woman with alopecia regrew her hair after taking a higher dose of tocilizumab.
research Androgen sensitivity gateway to COVID ‐19 disease severity
Men's sensitivity to male hormones might affect how severe COVID-19 gets for them.
research Prevalence of functional disorders of androgen excess in unselected premenopausal women: a study in blood donors
Many young women who donate blood have hormonal disorders like excess male hormones and PCOS.
research Dermatology of androgen-related disorders
