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.
research The Androgen Receptor and Its Use in Biological Assays: Looking Toward Effect-Based Testing and Its Applications
Scientists have developed a new method to detect steroid abuse in athletes using cell-based tests, which could be the future of anti-doping methods.
research Maternal androgen excess induces cardiac hypertrophy and left ventricular dysfunction in female mice offspring
High levels of male hormones in pregnant mice cause heart enlargement and poor heart function in their female babies.
research Androgen Receptor Actions Modify Skin Structure and Chemical Carcinogen-induced Skin Cancer Susceptibility in Mice
Androgen receptor inactivation delays skin cancer onset and reduces incidence in mice, with gender differences in susceptibility.
research Increased Scalp Skin and Serum 5a-Reductase Reduced Androgens in a Man Relevant to the Acquired Progressive Kinky Hair Disorder and Developing Androgenetic Alopecia
Reduced androgens linked to kinky hair disorder and hair loss; 5a-reductase inhibitors may help.
research The effect of minocycline on the metabolism of androgens by human oral periosteal fibroblasts and its inhibition by finasteride
Minocycline may cause hair loss by increasing DHT levels, but finasteride can help counteract this effect.
research Androgens and erythropoiesis. Induction of erythropoietin-hypersecretory state and effect of finasteride on erythropoietin secretion
Androgens increase EPO production, finasteride doesn't significantly impact it.
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 Sexual function in women with androgen excess disorders: classic forms of congenital adrenal hyperplasia and polycystic ovary syndrome
Women with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) have more sexual function issues than those with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), but physical activity can improve sexual functioning in all women.
research A randomized phase II trial on the addition of dutasteride to combined androgen blockade therapy versus combined androgen blockade therapy alone in patients with advanced or metastatic salivary duct carcinoma – the DUCT study protocol
Adding dutasteride to therapy may improve treatment for advanced salivary duct cancer.
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 Recovery effects of active oxygen scavengers on murine hair follicle-derived keratinocyte proliferation suppressed by androgen
Active oxygen scavengers can reverse the suppression of hair cell growth caused by androgens.
research Characterization of response of murine hair follicle-derived keratinocyte against androgen and testosterone 5α-redactase activity
Mouse hair cells respond to male hormones by growing less, and this can be stopped by certain blockers.
research Androgen Treatment in Women
Testosterone therapy can help with androgen deficiency in women but should be used with caution and monitoring due to potential risks.
research Androgen Treatment in Women
Testosterone therapy can help postmenopausal women with low sexual desire but needs more safety research and should be used with estrogen therapy.
research Lower prostate cancer risk in Swedish men with the androgen receptor E213 A-allele
Swedish men with the E213 A-allele of the androgen receptor have a lower risk of prostate cancer.
research Testosterone levels in relation to oral contraceptive use and the androgen receptor CAG and GGC length polymorphisms in healthy young women
Oral contraceptives lower testosterone levels in women, especially those with certain genetic traits, and may be linked to increased breast cancer risk.
research CAG polymorphism in the androgen receptor gene in women may be associated with nodulocystic acne
Certain gene variations might be linked to severe acne in women but not in men.
research Androgen excess is the key element in polycystic ovary syndrome
Too much male hormone is the main cause of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.
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 COVID‐19, androgens, and androgenic alopecia
COVID-19 may worsen with androgens; anti-androgen drugs could help.
research Androgen-Related Alopecia and Infertility: Impact of Lifestyle Modifications
Lifestyle changes can significantly improve hair loss in overweight women with PCOS.
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 Balding hair follicle dermal papilla cells contain higher levels of androgen receptors than those from non-balding scalp
Cells from balding scalps have more androgen receptors than cells from non-balding scalps.
