Androgens may influence bladder cancer progression by affecting cellular behavior.
research The skin as an endocrine organ
The skin produces and processes hormones, affecting both local and overall body functions.
research Synthesis of mimics of steroid A ring as potential enzyme inhibitors
Mimicking the steroid A-ring may help create effective enzyme inhibitors for prostate disease treatment.
research Hair loss (alopecia or baldness)
Baldness is often hereditary and linked to male hormones, becoming noticeable when half the hair is lost.
research New Target for Minoxidil in the Treatment of Androgenetic Alopecia
Minoxidil may work for hair loss by reducing androgen sensitivity and altering hormone-related enzymes.
research A SIBO-mediated aetiology for a subset of Post-Finasteride Syndrome cases: investigating gut-derived toxins
Gut bacteria overgrowth may cause some Post-Finasteride Syndrome symptoms.
research A SIBO-mediated aetiology for a subset of Post-Finasteride Syndrome cases: investigating gut-derived toxins
Gut bacteria overgrowth may cause some Post-Finasteride Syndrome symptoms.
research CXCL12 Drives Reversible Fibroimmune Remodeling in Androgenetic Alopecia Revealed by Single-Cell RNA Sequencing
Blocking CXCL12 can reverse hair loss and fibrosis in androgenetic alopecia.
research 5α-Reductase activity in the human hair follicle concentrates in the dermal papilla
The enzyme that changes testosterone to a stronger form is mostly found in the part of the hair follicle called the dermal papilla.
research Androgens and hair growth
Androgens can both increase and decrease hair growth in different parts of the body.
research The Hair Follicle: A Paradoxical Androgen Target Organ
Androgens can both promote and prevent hair growth due to differences in gene expression in hair follicles.
research 6 Peripheral androgens and the role of androstanediol glucuronide
Androstanediol glucuronide is a reliable marker for hirsutism in women.
research Evaluation of androgen receptor gene as a candidate gene in female androgenetic alopecia
AR gene not major factor in female hair loss; different from male hair loss.
research The androgen receptor gene polyglycine repeat polymorphism is associated with memory performance in healthy Chinese individuals
Certain gene variations are linked to better memory in healthy Chinese women.
research FINASTERIDE INHIBITS 5?-REDUCTASE ACTIVITY IN HUMAN DERMAL FIBROBLASTS: PREDICTION OF ITS THERAPEUTIC APPLICATION IN ANDROGEN-RELATED SKIN DISEASES
Finasteride helps treat skin issues like acne and baldness by blocking testosterone conversion.
research Androgen treatment of postmenopausal women
Testosterone therapy can improve sexual desire and function in postmenopausal women but should be used cautiously and not based solely on testosterone levels.
research Changes of androgens levels in menopausal women
Menopausal women have higher androgen levels, which can cause symptoms like facial hair growth and low sexual desire.
research Graham Little-Piccardi-Lassueur syndrome associated with androgen insensitivity syndrome (testicular feminization)
A woman had both Graham Little-Piccardi-Lassueur syndrome, causing hair loss, and complete androgen insensitivity syndrome, making her genetically male but physically female. This suggests androgens don't affect the hair loss condition.
research What is the Rationale for Androgen Therapy for Women?
Testosterone therapy can help improve mood, sexual function, and bone health in women with low androgen levels, but more research is needed to establish safe and effective guidelines.
research The role of androgens in hormone replacement therapy
Androgen therapy can help with symptoms like low libido in women, but more research is needed to understand its long-term safety and effects on health.
research Androgen replacement therapy in women
Androgen replacement therapy can improve libido and mood in women with severe androgen deficiency, but more research is needed on its long-term safety.
research Androgens and human hair growth
Androgens can cause hair growth in some areas and hair loss on the scalp.
research Androgen excess is the key element in polycystic ovary syndrome
