research Antiandrogens and Androgen Inhibitors
Antiandrogens and androgen inhibitors like spironolactone, finasteride, and dutasteride can treat hair loss and skin conditions, but they have risks and side effects, including potential harm to pregnant women and risks of cancer and heart issues. Herbal remedies also have antiandrogenic effects but lack safety validation.
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 7 Regulation of androgen receptor and 5α-reductase in the skin of normal and hirsute women
The exact cause of increased 5α-reductase activity leading to hirsutism in women is still unknown.
research Anti-Androgen Therapy in Female Adult Acne
Anti-androgens are safe and effective for treating moderate to severe adult female acne.
research Polymorphisms of the Androgen Receptor Gene and the Estrogen Receptor β Gene Are Associated with Androgen Levels in Women1
Certain genetic variations in the AR and ERβ genes can affect androgen levels in women.
research Androgens and Antiandrogens
Male hormones, or androgens, affect women's health in areas like mood and bone density, and hormone replacement therapy using antiandrogenic progestogens can improve mood disorders and alertness in menopausal women.
research Shorter CAG repeats in the androgen receptor gene may enhance hyperandrogenicity in polycystic ovary syndrome
Shorter CAG repeats in a specific gene may increase male hormone activity and symptoms like acne and excess hair in women with PCOS.
research Androgen Receptor Mutations and Polymorphisms in African American Prostate Cancer
African American men with prostate cancer have more androgen receptor mutations, which may lead to more aggressive cancer compared to Caucasian American men.
research Androgen- and Estrogen-Secreting Adrenal Cancers
Rare adrenal cancers that secrete androgens or estrogens have a poor prognosis and are treated primarily with surgery.
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 The association of male pattern baldness and risk of cancer and high-grade disease among men presenting for prostate biopsy
Men with more advanced male pattern baldness have a higher risk of prostate cancer and more severe disease.
research A rare case of an androgen-producing stromal luteoma of the ovary in a postmenopausal woman, diagnosed by means of selective venous blood sampling
Doctors used a special blood sampling technique to diagnose a woman's rare ovarian tumor that was producing male hormones.
research Crystallization and preliminary X-ray analysis of the human androgen receptor ligand-binding domain with a coactivator-like peptide and selective androgen receptor modulators
Scientists successfully created and analyzed the structure of a part of the human androgen receptor with specific modulators and a peptide to understand how it binds differently in various tissues.
research Polycystic Ovarian Disease (PCOD): Epidemiological Perspectives and Preventive Strategies through Healthy Lifestyle and Alternative Approaches
Lifestyle changes and alternative therapies can help manage Polycystic Ovarian Disease.
research Genome-wide association study identifies a new locus JMJD1C at 10q21 that may influence serum androgen levels in men
A new gene, JMJD1C, may affect testosterone levels in men.
research Basics of androgen synthesis and action
Androgens like testosterone are important hormones for both men and women, made differently in each sex and affecting the body by regulating genes and quick interactions with cell components.
research Analysis of androgen receptor expression and activity in the mouse brain
Androgen receptors in the mouse brain may explain cognitive and mood changes in prostate cancer treatment.
research Regional difference in sebum production by androgen susceptibility in human facial skin
The T-zone on the face has more androgen receptors and produces more oil than the U-zone.
research Health Care-Related Economic Burden of the Polycystic Ovary Syndrome during the Reproductive Life Span
Polycystic ovary syndrome costs the U.S. over $4 billion a year, mainly from treating related health issues.
research The Inhibitory Effect of Scutellaria baicalensis Extract and Its Active Compound, Baicalin, on the Translocation of the Androgen Receptor with Implications for Preventing Androgenetic Alopecia
Scutellaria baicalensis extract and baicalin may help prevent hair loss.
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 Androgenetic alopecia and polymorphism of the androgen receptor gene (SNP rs6152) in patients with benign prostate hyperplasia or prostate cancer
Hair loss gene linked to prostate issues.
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 Androgen excess: a hallmark of polycystic ovary syndrome
Excess androgens may cause PCOS, not just be a symptom.
research Regulation of masculinization: androgen signalling for external genitalia development
Male genital development is driven by androgen signaling and understanding it could help address congenital anomalies.
research Alopecia and Thyroid Disease
Thyroid disease can cause hair loss and treating thyroid problems might help with hair disorders.
research Androgen Excess in Women: Experience with Over 1000 Consecutive Patients
Most women with excess male hormones have Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, and hormonal therapy can improve symptoms but may cause side effects.
research Decreased Androgen Receptor Gene Methylation in Premature Pubarche: A Novel Pathogenetic Mechanism?
Reduced AR gene methylation may cause early pubic hair growth in girls.
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.
