After menopause, some women lose scalp hair and gain facial hair, with patterns suggesting different underlying causes.

Beard hair follicles have more androgen receptors than non-balding scalp hair follicles.

Researchers found a gene in hamsters that responds to male hormones and may be indirectly controlled by them.

Androgens can both promote and prevent hair growth due to differences in gene expression in hair follicles.

Male hormones are important for hair and oil gland development and can cause conditions like excessive hair growth and acne.

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

The research found that androgens help control blood flow in the rat prostate through a specific binding site.

CE-PTG detects early hair follicle issues in balding areas, helping measure male hair loss.

Thyroid hormones and androgens affect gene expression in frog reproductive organs differently between males and females.

Hair sensitivity to androgens is partly controlled by specific enzyme expressions in different hair areas.

Men with less sun-sensitive skin have lower PSA levels, while men with more sun-sensitive skin have higher PSA levels.

Dihydrotestosterone can be made from dehydroepiandrosterone in skin cells without needing testosterone.

Minoxidil can reduce functions related to androgen receptors.

TrichoScan helps identify subtle hair thinning in women with androgenetic alopecia.

Flutamide combined with an LHRH agonist effectively inhibits prostate growth, suggesting it could treat prostate cancer.

Certain adrenal hormones can strongly stimulate oil gland growth in hamster skin, similar to male hormones.

Androgens cause oil-producing skin cells with androgen receptors to mature and produce more oil.

Prepubertal girls with hypertrichosis have more sensitive androgen receptors, leading to increased body hair growth.

Breast cancer treatments work better with AR activation, improving results and reducing side effects.

Wedelolactone selectively kills prostate cancer cells without harming normal cells.

Men with androgenetic alopecia have oilier and less hydrated scalps, especially in sensitive areas.

Androgens like testosterone affect hair growth and oil production differently across body parts and individuals.

The Endocrine Society advised against routine testosterone therapy for women, citing a need for more research on long-term safety and a clear definition of androgen deficiency.

Men with male-pattern baldness have more androgen receptors in their scalp's oil glands, which may contribute to hair loss.

Spironolactone harms fish reproduction and is more potent in fish than invertebrates, needing environmental monitoring.

DHT affects bone growth by altering gene activity in osteoblasts, potentially complicating steroid use.

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.
