research Androgens and alopecia
Male hormones, particularly DHT, are linked to male pattern hair loss, and treatments like finasteride can help, but they don't work for postmenopausal women's hair loss, which may have different causes.

research ANDROGEN METABOLISM AS IT AFFECTS HAIR GROWTH IN ANDROGENETIC ALOPECIA
Too much androgen can cause hair loss; finasteride may help.
research Androgen Dependence of Hirsutism, Acne, and Alopecia in Women
Hirsutism is more linked to high androgen levels than acne or hair loss, and a mix of hormonal tests is best for diagnosis; certain treatments can reduce symptoms.
research Insulin sensitivity, androgens and isotretinoin therapy in women with severe acne
Isotretinoin improves severe acne without changing androgen or insulin levels but may increase body weight and triglycerides.
research Recent discoveries and developments of androgen receptor based therapy for prostate cancer
New treatments for prostate cancer are less toxic and show promise, but more research is needed to enhance their effectiveness and reduce side effects.
research Implication of Human Bacterial Gut Microbiota on Immune-Mediated and Autoimmune Dermatological Diseases and Their Comorbidities: A Narrative Review
An imbalance in gut bacteria is linked to skin immune diseases and may affect their outcomes and related health issues.
research Effects of the anti-androgen finasteride on 5alpha-reductase activity in human gingival fibroblasts in response to minocycline
Finasteride helps treat hair loss by blocking enzyme activity.
research (1R,2S)-4-(2-Cyano-cyclohexyl-oxy)-2-trifluoromethyl-benzonitrile, a potent androgen receptor antagonist for stimulating hair growth and reducing sebum production
The compound (1R,2S)-4-(2-Cyano-cyclohexyl-oxy)-2-trifluoromethyl-benzonitrile can stimulate hair growth and reduce oil production when applied topically.
research Pantolactams as androgen receptor antagonists for the topical suppression of sebum production
Pfizer found that pantolactam-based compounds can reduce sebum (skin oil) production when applied topically.

Androgens, like DHT, affect hair growth and treatments like finasteride may help.
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 Testosterone metabolite nonessential for androgen effects
The body's change of testosterone into DHT is not necessary for testosterone's muscle and sexual effects.
research Rhamnose-mediated modulation of hair follicle growth: insights from chemical genomics
Rhamnose may help hair growth and pigmentation, making it a potential treatment for hair loss.
research Polycystic ovary syndrome is associated with anogenital distance, a marker of prenatal androgen exposure
Women with polycystic ovary syndrome tend to have a longer anogenital distance.
research Safety aspects of androgen treatment with 5α-dihydrotestosterone
DHT is a strong androgen that may pose less risk to the prostate compared to testosterone.
research The differences between aromatizable and non-aromatizable androgens in relation to body composition and metabolic syndrome risk factors in men
Testosterone and dihydrotestosterone have similar effects on body composition and metabolic health in men.
research An Update on Plant Derived Anti-Androgens
Some plant-derived compounds may help with hormonal conditions, but more research is needed to confirm their effectiveness.
research Phospholipid–polymer hybrid nanoparticle-mediated transfollicular delivery of quercetin: prospective implement for the treatment of androgenic alopecia
Quercetin-loaded nanoparticles can penetrate skin, minimize hair loss, and promote hair regrowth, showing slightly better results than a marketed product.
research No metabolic impact of surgical normalization of hyperandrogenism in postmenopausal women with ovarian androgen-secreting tumours
Surgery to lower high testosterone in postmenopausal women with certain ovarian tumors doesn't significantly affect their metabolism.
research Anti-Androgen Therapy in Female Adult Acne
Anti-androgens are safe and effective for treating moderate to severe adult female acne.
research Free Androgen Index (FAI): Marker of Premature Androgenetic Alopecia in Men
The Free Androgen Index (FAI) is the best indicator of early hair loss in men before age 30.
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 46,XY DSD due to impaired androgen production
Impaired androgen production in 46,XY DSDs causes ambiguous genitalia and requires long-term care.
research Structure of human steroid 5α-reductase 2 with the anti-androgen drug finasteride
Finasteride irreversibly affects human steroid 5α-reductase 2, providing insight into its catalytic mechanism and disease-related mutations.
research Adverse health effects of androgen use
Using anabolic androgenic steroids can cause serious, lasting health problems in many parts of the body.
research Markers of peripheral androgen action in vivo and in vitro
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is crucial for conditions like male-pattern baldness and acne, and measuring a byproduct, androstanediol glucuronide, is a better way to assess DHT's effects than DHT blood levels.
