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 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 Glioblastoma cells express crucial enzymes involved in androgen synthesis: 3β‐hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, 17‐20α‐hydroxylase, 17β‐hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase and 5α‐reductase
Glioblastoma cells can make androgens, which might help the tumor grow.
research Androgen Therapy in Women: A Reappraisal: An Endocrine Society Clinical Practice Guideline
The guidelines advise against using testosterone and DHEA in women for most conditions due to safety and effectiveness concerns, but suggest considering testosterone for postmenopausal women with low sexual desire.
research Human hair follicles contain two forms of ATP‐ sensitive potassium channels, only one of which is sensitive to minoxidil
One minoxidil-sensitive potassium channel exists in human hair follicles.
research Androgens in women
Androgens play a complex role in skin conditions like acne and hair loss in women, and normal blood levels don't always show true androgen status.
research Non-canonical dimerization of the androgen receptor and other nuclear receptors: implications for human disease
Mutations in certain receptors can cause diseases and offer new treatment options.
research The Androgen Receptor and Its Use in Biological Assays: Looking Toward Effect-Based Testing and Its Applications
Scientists have developed a new method to detect steroid abuse in athletes using cell-based tests, which could be the future of anti-doping methods.
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 Molecular basis of androgen action on human sexual desire
Testosterone significantly affects sexual desire in both men and women, but its impact on women is more complex and influenced by psychological factors.
research Finasteride Has Regionally Different Effects on Brain Oxidative Stress and Acetylcholinesterase Activity in Acute Thioacetamide-Induced Hepatic Encephalopathy in Rats
Finasteride affects brain stress and enzyme activity differently in various regions, possibly helping with liver-related brain issues.
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 Clinical Evaluation of Women Presenting with Low Libido and Determination of Whether Androgen Therapy Might Be Appropriate
Androgen therapy might help some women with low libido, but it has risks and should be used carefully.
research Unravelling the link between insulin resistance and androgen excess
AKR1C3 could be a treatment target for metabolic issues in PCOS.
research Modelling androgen synthesis and action during human sexual differentiation
Male sexual differentiation is regulated independently, while female differentiation occurs in an androgenic environment, affecting conditions like congenital adrenal hyperplasia.
research Androgens and Cardiovascular Disease
Male hormones may play a role in the development of heart disease, and more research is needed to understand their effects.
research Androgen receptor–mediated inhibition of cutaneous wound healing
Lowering testosterone speeds up wound healing in male mice.
research Regulatory roles of androgens in cutaneous wound healing
Testosterone may slow down wound healing and increase inflammation.
research THERAPEUTIC HOTLINE: Genetic variations in the androgen receptor gene and finasteride response in women with androgenetic alopecia mediated by epigenetics
Women with greater androgen sensitivity respond better to finasteride for hair loss.
research Targets to treat androgen excess in polycystic ovary syndrome
The conclusion is that while oral contraceptive pills are effective for PCOS-related high androgen levels, new treatments with fewer side effects are needed.
research Recent Advances in Drug Design and Drug Discovery for Androgen- Dependent Diseases
New treatments for prostate cancer and BPH show promise, including novel compounds that target hormone synthesis and response.
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 Biological Profile of Cortexolone 17a-Propionate (CB-03-01), a New Topical and Peripherally Selective Androgen Antagonist
CB-03-01 is a promising skin cream for treating hormone-related skin problems without causing harmful body-wide effects.
research Probing androgen receptor co-factor selectivity profiles: a chemical tool to determine cross-talk between androgen receptor and β-catenin in vivo
PF-05314882 selectively activates androgen receptors without much effect on prostate and may help in prostate cancer treatment and hair loss prevention.
research Hormonal Treatment for Skin Androgen-Related Disorders
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.
research Expression of mRNA for androgen receptor, 5alpha-reductase and 17beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase in human dermal papilla cells
Hair sensitivity to androgens is partly controlled by specific enzyme expressions in different hair areas.
research Prostate-Sparing Effects in Primates of the Potent Androgen 7α-Methyl-19-Nortestosterone: A Potential Alternative to Testosterone for Androgen Replacement and Male Contraception1
MENT could be a better option than testosterone for male hormone therapy and birth control because it works well at lower doses and has fewer side effects on the prostate.
research The Androgen Excess and PCOS Society criteria for the polycystic ovary syndrome: the complete task force report
The report concludes that PCOS is mainly a condition of excess male hormones and its definition may change as new information is discovered.
research Fetal Programming of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome by Androgen Excess: Evidence from Experimental, Clinical, and Genetic Association Studies
Exposure to too much androgen before birth might cause polycystic ovary syndrome later in life.
