research Androgen receptor gene polymorphism and polycystic ovary syndrome
The conclusion is that androgen receptor gene polymorphism might be a marker for polycystic ovary syndrome, but more research is needed.
research Androgen modulation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling in androgenetic alopecia
Androgens may block hair growth signals, targeting this could treat hair loss.
research The Effects of Androgens on T Cells: Clues to Female Predominance in Autoimmune Liver Diseases?
Androgens may influence T cells, contributing to higher autoimmune liver disease risk in women.
research Androgen receptor gene CAG and GGN polymorphisms in infertile Nigerian men
Certain gene variations are not a major cause of male infertility in Nigerian men.
research Androgen‐inducible TGF‐β1 from balding dermal papilla cells inhibits epithelial cell growth: a clue to understanding paradoxical effects of androgen on human hair growth
Androgens may cause hair loss by increasing TGF-beta1 from scalp cells, which inhibits hair cell growth.
research The influence of androgens on insulin resistance
Higher levels of unbound testosterone are linked to increased insulin resistance, especially in women with polycystic ovary syndrome.
research Hair follicle stem cell differentiation is inhibited through cross‐talk between Wnt/β‐catenin and androgen signalling in dermal papilla cells from patients with androgenetic alopecia
Androgens block hair growth by disrupting cell signals; targeting GSK-3 may help treat hair loss.
research Significance of the polyglutamine tract polymorphism in the androgen receptor
The length of the CAG repeat in the androgen receptor gene affects the risk and progression of prostate cancer, BPH, infertility, and undermasculinized genitalia.
research Androgens and hair loss
The document concludes that hair transplantation and gene therapy may be important for future hair loss treatment.
research Increased Androgen Binding Capacity in Sebaceous Glands in Scalp of Male-pattern Baldness
Men with male-pattern baldness have more androgen receptors in their scalp's oil glands, which may contribute to hair loss.
research Neuroimmunoregulation of Androgens in the Adrenal Gland and the Skin
Cytokines and neuropeptides are key in controlling androgen levels, affecting skin and hair conditions.
research Microneedles mediated bioinspired lipid nanocarriers for targeted treatment of alopecia
A new hair loss treatment uses tiny needles to deliver a drug-loaded lipid carrier, promoting hair growth more effectively than current treatments.
research Cross-species sensitivity to a novel androgen receptor agonist of potential environmental concern, spironolactone
Spironolactone harms fish reproduction and is more potent in fish than invertebrates, needing environmental monitoring.
research A Pharmacogenetic Survey of Androgen Receptor (CAG)N and (GGN)N Polymorphisms in Patients Experiencing Long Term Side Effects after Finasteride Discontinuation
Longer CAG and GGN repeats increase alopecia risk, but no significant link to post-finasteride syndrome found.
research The Effect of Anti-Androgens on the Response of Rat Preputial Glands to Testosterone*
New compounds can block testosterone effects in rats and might help treat conditions like prostate cancer and acne.
research Identification of androgen-regulated genes in SV40-transformed human hair dermal papilla cells
Hsc70 protein may influence hair growth by responding to androgens.
research Rational Design of a Topical Androgen Receptor Antagonist for the Suppression of Sebum Production with Properties Suitable for Follicular Delivery
A new compound was created in 2010 that can control oil production when applied to the skin, and its effects are completely reversible after two weeks.
research Improving selective androgen receptor modulator discovery and preclinical evaluation
We need better ways to test and understand SARMs to make safer and more effective treatments.
research Androgenic alopecia: A counterproductive outcome of the anabolic effect of androgens
Male pattern baldness is an unintended side effect of the body's use of androgens for muscle growth, especially in those genetically prone to it.
research Activation of nuclear factor κB in response to cream ingestion is related to ovarian androgen hypersecretion in polycystic ovary syndrome
Eating cream can increase ovarian androgen production in women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, which is not related to obesity.
research Increased androgen receptor messenger RNA in frontal-parietal hair follicles of women with androgenetic alopecia
Women with hair loss have more androgen receptors in certain hair follicles.
research Synthesis and structure–activity investigation of iodinated arylhydantoins and arylthiohydantoins for development as androgen receptor radioligands
Scientists created iodinated arylhydantoins and arylthiohydantoins that could potentially be used for imaging prostate cancer. Some versions with specific side-chains showed high potential for this use.
research The promoter of an androgen dependent gene in the hamster flank organ
Researchers found a gene in hamsters that responds to male hormones and may be indirectly controlled by them.
research Androgen Receptor Ligands: Agonists and Antagonists
Different substances that activate or block the androgen receptor can affect male development and treat conditions like prostate cancer.
research Androgen effects on the skin
Androgens like testosterone affect skin health and can lead to conditions such as acne and hair loss, with various treatments available.
research The influence of non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA) on the ovarian production of androgens in a context of in vitro fertilisation (IVF) – preliminary results
High levels of fatty acids are linked to increased androgen production and inflammation in women with PCOS, which may affect IVF outcomes.
research Higher androgen and estrogen output and less follicular atresia can be induced in healthy ovaries by culturing them with sera from PCOS patients: is PCOS really of intraovarian origin?
PCOS may be influenced by factors in the blood, not just the ovaries.
research 1406 DETECTION OF MEMBRANE ANDROGEN-BINDING SITE IN LIVING RAT PROSTATE AND EVALUATION OF ITS ROLE IN PROSTATE BLOOD FLOW REGULATION
The research found that androgens help control blood flow in the rat prostate through a specific binding site.
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.
