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 Genome-wide association study identifies a new locus JMJD1C at 10q21 that may influence serum androgen levels in men
A new gene, JMJD1C, may affect testosterone levels in men.
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 Racial variations in COVID‐19 deaths may be due to androgen receptor genetic variants associated with prostate cancer and androgenetic alopecia. Are anti‐androgens a potential treatment for COVID‐19?
Genetic differences may affect COVID-19 deaths; anti-androgens could be potential treatment.
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 Baldness and the androgen receptor: the AR polyglycine repeat polymorphism does not confer susceptibility to androgenetic alopecia
AR polyglycine repeat doesn't cause baldness.
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 Hirsutism and the Variable Response of the Pilosebaceous Unit to Androgen
Different women's hair and skin glands respond to hormones in varied ways, which can cause unwanted hair growth even with normal hormone levels, and more research is needed to treat this effectively.
research 46,XY DSD due to impaired androgen production
Impaired androgen production in 46,XY DSDs causes ambiguous genitalia and requires long-term care.
research Decreased Androgen Receptor Gene Methylation in Premature Pubarche: A Novel Pathogenetic Mechanism?
Reduced AR gene methylation may cause early pubic hair growth in girls.
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 Overexpression of aldo-keto reductase 1C3 (AKR1C3) in LNCaP cells diverts androgen metabolism towards testosterone resulting in resistance to the 5α-reductase inhibitor finasteride
Too much AKR1C3 enzyme causes resistance to finasteride by increasing testosterone.
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 Androgen receptor gene CAG repeat polymorphism in women with polycystic ovary syndrome
Longer CAG repeat lengths in the androgen receptor gene are linked to higher testosterone levels in women with PCOS.
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 Body composition changes and inhibition of fat development in vivo implicates androgen in regulation of stem cell lineage allocation
Androgen is important in controlling stem cell differentiation, reducing fat development, and increasing lean mass.
research Androgens in women
Hormone treatments can help with women's skin and hair disorders, but they need careful monitoring and more research.
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.
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.
research Androgen receptor genetic variant predicts COVID‐19 disease severity: a prospective longitudinal study of hospitalized COVID‐19 male patients
A certain genetic variant in the androgen receptor may predict the severity of COVID-19 in men.
research Antiandrogen Treatment with Spironolactone and Linestrenol Decreases Bone Mineral Density in Eumenorrhoeic Women with Androgen Excess
Taking spironolactone and linestrenol for androgen excess can lead to lower bone density in young women.
research Altered brain and pituitary androgen metabolism by prenatal, perinatal or pre- and postnatal finasteride, flutamide or dihydrotestosterone treatment in juvenile male rats
Treatment during development affects hormone balance and sexual behavior in male rats.

Women's ovarian hormones and adrenal androgens change throughout life, affecting hair loss and health.
research Alterations in androgen conjugate levels in women and men with alopecia
People with hair loss may have different levels of certain hormones due to changes in hormone processing.
research Crosstalk between androgen and Wnt/β-catenin leads to changes of wool density in FGF5-knockout sheep
Blocking the FGF5 gene in sheep leads to more fine wool and active hair follicles due to changes in certain cell signaling pathways.
