930-960 / 1000+ results 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 Role of genetics and sex steroid hormones in male androgenetic alopecia and female pattern hair loss: An update of what we now know
Genetics and hormones play a role in male and female hair loss, but more research is needed to fully understand it.
research Stem cell-derived motor neurons from spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy patients
The study suggests that motor neurons created from stem cells of patients with spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy show signs of the disease, including changes in protein levels and cell functions.
research Spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy: pathogenesis and clinical management
Kennedy's disease leads to muscle weakness without a cure, but exercise and managing symptoms may help patients live a normal lifespan.
research Surrogate end-points or primary outcomes in clinical trials in women with polycystic ovary syndrome?
The document suggests that clinical trials for PCOS should focus on meaningful primary outcomes like live birth rates, rather than less reliable surrogate markers.
research Early onset and novel features in a spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy patient with a 68 CAG repeat
A patient with a larger than usual genetic mutation had a broader range of symptoms for a muscle disease.
research 12 Treatment of hirsutism with 5α-reductase inhibitors
New compounds may soon be tested to treat excessive hair growth in women.
research The role of androgen therapy
Androgens, male hormones, play a role in both men and women's health, and testosterone therapy can help women with low levels, but it's not suitable for pregnant or lactating women, or those with certain conditions.
research Treatment of female sexual dysfunction in postmenopausal women—What is the evidence?
Hormonal changes and psychological issues can cause sexual dysfunction in postmenopausal women. Behavioral therapy is recommended first, with hormone replacement helping some symptoms but not libido. Testosterone can improve libido, but its effects on overall sexual function are unclear. Emotional and relationship issues should be addressed before using medication, and the benefits and risks of testosterone supplementation should be considered.
research To study hypoactive sexual desire disorder in a fragile X carrier female successfully treated with local testosterone application
Local testosterone treatment improved sexual desire in a female with fragile X syndrome.
research Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
PCOS is a hormonal disorder causing infertility and menstrual problems, often linked to obesity and can lead to acne, treated with hormonal and insulin-sensitizing medications.
research Trazodone by epigenetic mechanism can reverse the post finasteride syndrome
Trazodone might help reverse post finasteride syndrome.
research Role of polymorphism of the androgen receptor gene and non-random X chromosome inactivation in the genesis of androgenic alopecia in women of childbearing potential
Certain gene variations and irregular X chromosome activity may contribute to hair loss in women who can have children.
research Hyperandrogenism in a set of triplets with modification of clinical course by hyperthyroidism
Hyperthyroidism can hide signs of high androgen levels in females.
research 863 Molecular basis of hair follicle donor dominance in androgenetic alopecia and sexual dimorphism of the skin
Hair loss patterns differ between males and females due to 5 master regulators and JAK-STAT signaling affects hair growth.
research Androgens and ovarian function: translation from basic discovery research to clinical impact
Androgens are important for female fertility and could help in IVF treatment, but also play a role in causing PCOS.
research Repurposing existing drugs for COVID-19: an endocrinology perspective
Existing drug dexamethasone may lower death risk in severe COVID-19 cases; more research needed for other drugs.
research An intergenerational androgenic mechanism of female intrasexual competition in the cooperatively breeding meerkat
Androgens in female meerkats influence aggression and dominance, affecting social dynamics and offspring behavior.
research Human Derived Immortalized Dermal Papilla Cells With a Constant Expression of Testosterone Receptor
Researchers created immortal human skin cells with constant testosterone receptor activity to study hair loss and test treatments.
research Selective androgen receptor modulators: a critical appraisal
SARMs show promise but need more evidence to prove they're better than traditional androgens.
research Female Antiandrogens
Antiandrogens can treat female hormonal conditions, but environmental ones may harm reproductive health.
research A pathophysiological and clinical review of androgenetic , areata, anagen effluvium, telogen effluvium and traction alopecia’s
Understanding different types of hair loss helps in accurate diagnosis and treatment.
research Anogenital distance as a biomarker for incomplete masculinization : Molecular mechanisms in the perineum
A short male anogenital distance may indicate incomplete masculinization due to disrupted androgen action.
research Polycystic Ovary Syndrome in Adolescence
PCOS starts in adolescence with hormonal issues, leading to adult health problems, and early treatment is crucial.
research Polycystic ovary syndrome and the differential diagnosis of hyperandrogenism
The document concludes that careful evaluation is needed to diagnose PCOS correctly due to similar symptoms in other conditions, and accurate testosterone level measurement is crucial.
research An ovarian Leydig cell tumor of ultrasound negative in a postmenopausal woman with hirsutism and hyperandrogenism
A postmenopausal woman's hirsutism and high testosterone levels improved after surgery for an ovarian tumor not seen on ultrasound.
research Global Trends in Research of Androgen Receptor Associated With Breast Cancer From 2011 to 2020: A Scientometric Analysis
Research from 2011 to 2020 shows androgen receptors could be key for prognosis and treatment in certain breast cancers.
research The Diagnostic Value of Free Androgen Index in Obese Adolescent Females with Idiopathic Hirsutism and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
FAI is a reliable marker for identifying and monitoring hyperandrogenism in obese adolescent females with PCOS.
research Postmenopausal Alopecia due to Ovarian Hyperandrogenemia Treated with Bilateral Salpingo-oophorectomy
Removing the ovaries can help treat hair loss caused by high androgen levels in postmenopausal women.
