research Pharmacology of different progestogens: the special case of drospirenone
Drospirenone is a unique progestin with anti-water retention and potential blood pressure benefits, used in birth control and hormone therapy.
research Oral spironolactone therapy for female patients with acne, hirsutism or androgenic alopecia
Spironolactone is effective for treating acne, hirsutism, and androgenic alopecia in women with few side effects.
research Visualising Androgen Receptor Activity in Male and Female Mice
Androgen receptors are active in many tissues of both male and female mice, not just reproductive organs.
research Androgen metabolism in hirsute patients treated with cyproterone acetate
Cyproterone acetate effectively reduced hair growth in hirsute patients by lowering androgen levels and altering androgen metabolism.
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 Spironolactone Therapy for Hirsutism in a Hyperandrogenic Woman
Spironolactone may help reduce excessive hair growth in women with high male hormone levels.
research Consecutive Cyproterone Acetate and Estradiol Treatment in Late-Pubertal Transgender Female Adolescents
Cyproterone acetate treatment is safe and causes mild feminization, which increases with added estrogen.
research In vitro bioassays for androgens and their diagnostic applications
In vitro bioassays are better than traditional methods for measuring androgen activity but aren't ready for routine use yet.
research Interaction of spironolactone with rat skin androgen receptor
Spironolactone reduces the number of androgen receptor sites in rat skin by blocking them with its metabolite.
research Synthesis and Pharmacological Evaluation of New 16-Methyl Pregnane Derivatives.
New pregnane derivatives were more effective than finasteride at inhibiting a key enzyme for male pattern baldness.
research Lack of Effect of a Spironolactone-Containing Cream on Hair Growth in Hirsute Women
The spironolactone cream did not reduce hair growth in women with hirsutism.
research Preliminary pharmacokinetics and metabolism of novel non-steroidal antiandrogens in the rat: Relation of their systemic activity to the formation of a common metabolite
Two non-steroidal antiandrogens, RU 58841 and RU 56187, form a common metabolite at different rates, which may influence their effects; RU 56187 could be used for prostate cancer treatment and RU 58841 for acne treatment.
research Novel C-6 substituted and unsubstituted pregnane derivatives as 5α-reductase inhibitors and their effect on hamster flank organs diameter size
Certain compounds reduced hamster flank organ size by inhibiting 5α-reductase, like finasteride, without affecting androgen receptors.
research Poria cocos polysaccharides attenuate chronic nonbacterial prostatitis by targeting the gut microbiota: Comparative study of Poria cocos polysaccharides and finasteride in treating chronic prostatitis
Poria cocos polysaccharides and finasteride both help treat chronic nonbacterial prostatitis, but Poria cocos polysaccharides also improve gut health.
research Comparison Between Two Different Hamster Models used for the Determination of Testosterone and Finasteride Activity
Young and adult hamsters both respond similarly to testosterone and finasteride treatments, but young hamsters aren't good for testing the inhibitory activity of a specific enzyme.
research Inhibitory Effects of Serenoa repens on the Kinetic of Pig Prostatic Microsomal 5α-Reductase Activity
Saw palmetto extract can block the enzyme that converts testosterone in pig prostate cells.
research Topical Antiandrogens
Topical antiandrogens might treat skin issues like hair growth, balding, and acne, but finding effective treatments without side effects is challenging.
research An inherited nail dystrophy principally affecting the great toenails
The document concludes that an inherited nail condition often improves on its own, and spironolactone effectively treats acne in women.
research Frontal fibrosing alopecia
Hormonal imbalances may play a role in frontal fibrosing alopecia, and antiandrogenic drugs combined with steroids are currently the most effective treatment.
research Use of spironolactone in dermatology.
Spironolactone is used in dermatology to treat skin conditions related to hormones, but is not safe for pregnant women or men.
research ADT-G as a promising biomarker for peripheral hyperandrogenism in adult female acne
ADT-G may be a useful indicator of increased androgen levels in women with acne and can be lowered with certain birth control pills.
research Frontal fibrosing alopecia in men: A multicenter study of 39 patients
Most men with Frontal fibrosing alopecia also lose facial hair and the condition may be linked to hormone levels and sunscreen use.
research Relative binding affinity of novel steroids to androgen receptors in hamster prostate
New steroids were effective in blocking male hormone receptors in hamster prostates.
research Combined oral contraceptives promote androgen receptor and oestrogen receptor alpha upregulation in the female prostate (Skene’s paraurethral glands) of adult gerbils (Meriones unguiculatus)
Birth control pills increase certain receptor activities in female gerbil prostate glands and can lead to prostate changes.
research Reversal of andro-genetic alopecia in a male. A spironolactone effect?
A man's baldness improved possibly due to a medication that blocks male hormones.
research Substantiation of technological parameters of the oil extract obtained from Urtica dioica roots based on the yield determination of phytosterols using capillary gas chromatography method
The best way to extract oil from Urtica dioica roots is by using corn oil, a 1:5 ratio of raw material to extract, extracting for 6 hours, and using the maceration method.
research Antihormonal properties of some new A-homo-B, 19-dinor steroids of the androstane series
New A-homo-B, 19-dinor steroids showed strong antiandrogenic activity without affecting the enzyme 5α-reductase or androgen receptor binding.
