Two new compounds were found to build bone and muscle without affecting reproductive organs and skin oil glands.
research Female pattern hair loss
Hair loss in women is genetic, diagnosed by examination and biopsy, and treated with minoxidil, finasteride, or transplantation.

Energy healing treatment improved flutamide's solubility and stability, potentially enhancing its effectiveness for prostate cancer.
research Harm reduction measures in a recreational gym user with anabolic androgenic steroid dependence: a case report in the context of current best clinical practice
Non-medical steroid use in gym-goers is risky and needs better prevention and care strategies.
research Hormones and the pilosebaceous unit
Hormones significantly affect hair and oil gland function in the skin, and more research is needed on skin-related hormone disorders.
research Alert to US physicians: DHEA, widely used as an OTC androgen supplement, may exacerbate COVID-19
The over-the-counter supplement DHEA could make COVID-19 worse, especially in diabetics and people with G6PD deficiency.
research Differential Expression of CXCL12 in Human and Mouse Hair: Androgens Induce CXCL12 in Human Dermal Papilla and Dermal Sheath Cup
Targeting CXCL12 may help treat hair loss caused by androgens.
research Thyroid hormones and androgens differentially regulate gene expression in testes and ovaries of sexually mature Silurana tropicalis
Thyroid hormones and androgens affect gene expression in frog reproductive organs differently between males and females.
research Epitestosterone
Epitestosterone may counteract testosterone's effects and has roles in body processes like prostate growth and hair distribution.
research Ability to culture dermal papilla cells from red deer (Cervus elaphus) hair follicles with differing hormonal responses in vivo offers a new model for studying the control of hair follicle biology
Red deer hair cells offer a new way to study how hormones affect hair growth.
research [Hirsutism and hypertrichosis in adults: investigations and treatment].
The document concludes that treatment for excessive hair growth depends on the cause, with options including hair removal methods and medications like anti-androgens or insulin-sensitizing drugs.
research El finasteride como control positivo en estudios de reproducción
Finasteride causes reproductive changes in male rats.
research In vivo and in vitro effect of novel 4,16-pregnadiene-6,20-dione derivatives, as 5α-reductase inhibitors
The new compounds may be more effective and cheaper than current treatments for conditions like baldness.
research Selective Sensing of Darolutamide and Thalidomide in Pharmaceutical Preparations and in Spiked Biofluids
A new, efficient method has been developed to detect darolutamide and thalidomide, drugs used for certain hair loss and prostate cancer treatments, in pharmaceuticals and body fluids.
research Enhanced ex vivo skin retention of bicalutamide using a nano-in-micro composite: Drug-loaded lipid vesicles in a dissolving microarray patch
The new drug delivery system improves bicalutamide skin retention for better treatment of hair loss.

Liquorice may reduce testosterone and affect male reproductive organs, potentially helping treat conditions like prostate cancer.
research In-vivo uptake and metabolism of testosterone by the skin and other tissues of the rat
Rat skin takes up and processes testosterone differently than other organs, with testosterone being more important for the skin than its metabolite 5α-DHT.
research Visualising Androgen Receptor Activity in Male and Female Mice
Androgen receptors are active in many tissues of both male and female mice, not just reproductive organs.
research Novel C-6 substituted and unsubstituted pregnane derivatives as 5α-reductase inhibitors and their effect on hamster flank organs diameter size
Certain compounds reduced hamster flank organ size by inhibiting 5α-reductase, like finasteride, without affecting androgen receptors.
