Certain gene variations are linked to better memory in healthy Chinese women.

Possible link between androgens and COVID-19 severity; more research needed.

Androgens can both increase body hair and cause scalp hair loss.

Understanding how androgens work is key for creating new treatments for prostate issues and hair/skin conditions.

Combining flutamide and finasteride can reduce prostate weight and tumor growth, potentially benefiting treatments needing optimal DHT inhibition.

Men, particularly those with hair loss, are more likely to get the virus, and those with prostate cancer may have milder symptoms. Testosterone's role in the disease is unclear, and the virus doesn't seem to harm male fertility. Women with PCOS might be at higher risk. More research is needed.

Anti-androgens are effective for female acne but less so for male-pattern hair loss, with side effects similar to birth control pills.

Androgens play a key role in hair growth and disorders like baldness and excessive hairiness.

Finasteride helps treat skin issues like acne and baldness by blocking testosterone conversion.

The letter is skeptical about the effectiveness of anti-androgen therapy for COVID-19 and calls for strong evidence from clinical trials.

The mouse models are effective for testing new hair loss treatments.

Androgens affect the function and health of the endometrium.

Hormonal treatments can help with hair loss, acne, and excess hair growth, but it takes 3-6 months to see results and patients should know the possible side effects.

Women with hair loss have higher androgen levels, while men with early balding have altered androgen ratios.

Androgens increase growth factors in skin cells, which may lead to acne.

Anti-androgens are safe and effective for treating moderate to severe adult female acne.

Women with female pattern hair loss have higher levels of certain androgens, suggesting increased androgen exposure to hair follicles.

Testosterone therapy may slightly improve sexual function in postmenopausal women, but its long-term safety is unknown.

TGF-β1 from dermal papilla cells suppresses hair growth, and targeting it may help treat androgenetic alopecia.

Some plant-derived compounds may help with hormonal conditions, but more research is needed to confirm their effectiveness.

For women with moderate to severe unwanted hair growth or acne, birth control pills are the first choice, with other medications like cyproterone, spironolactone, flutamide, or finasteride as alternatives, and permanent hair removal should be done with electrolysis or laser.

Oxidative stress, not insulin resistance, is significantly related to free androgen index in PCOS.

Testosterone and dihydrotestosterone have similar effects on body composition and metabolic health in men.

The treatment reduced hair growth and testosterone in women with excess hair and had some effects on stress responses.

Neurosteroids like neuro-estrogen and neuro-androgen are crucial for brain function and can improve cognition and protect against aging-related decline.

The research found that measuring androgens in urine can give extra information about body metabolism and is linked to androgen levels in the blood, especially in young girls.

A woman was diagnosed with a rare adrenal gland cancer that did not show usual hormone-related symptoms.

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.

DHT is a strong androgen that may pose less risk to the prostate compared to testosterone.

Free Testosterone Index, bioavailable testosterone, and androstenedione are the most accurate for diagnosing excess male hormones in PCOS.
