Research
930-960 / 1000+ resultsresearch Ornithine decarboxylase is upregulated by the androgen receptor in skeletal muscle and regulates myoblast proliferation
Androgens increase muscle mass by promoting myoblast growth through ornithine decarboxylase.
research The expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in the testis and epididymis of rats with a dihydrotestosterone (DHT) deficiency
DHT deficiency increases iNOS expression in rat testis and epididymis.
research Effects of sex steroid hormones and their metabolites on neuronal injury caused by oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation in organotypic hippocampal slice cultures
Progesterone and testosterone protect brain cells from damage through specific pathways.
research Expression of matrix metalloproteinases and tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinases in the hair cycle
MMP-2 and MMP-9 help hair grow, while their inhibitors peak when hair growth slows.
research Role of Oxidative Stress in Obese and Nonobese PCOS Patients
Oxidative stress is higher in women with PCOS, especially if they're obese, and it may increase their risk of heart disease.
research The Associations of Androgen-Related Genes CYP21A2 and CYP19A1 with Severe Acne Vulgaris in Patients from Southwest China
Certain gene variants are linked to severe acne, especially in males.
research Controlled clinical trial for evaluation of hair growth with low dose cyclical nutrition therapy in men and women without the use of finasteride
Low dose cyclical nutrition therapy can consistently and safely improve hair growth and density without needing anti-androgens.
research Challenges in treatment of patients with non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia
Treating non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia is complex because the benefits of hormone treatment must be weighed against potential health risks.
research Efficacy of Topical Finasteride 0.5% vs 17α-Estradiol 0.05% in the Treatment of Postmenopausal Female Pattern Hair Loss: A Retrospective, Single-Blind Study of 119 Patients
Topical finasteride works faster and better than 17α-estradiol for postmenopausal hair loss.
research Anti-Alopecia Activity of Coumarin Derivatives Isolated from Merremia peltata Leaves and Computational Study of Their Binding to Androgen Receptors Using Molecular Docking and Molecular Dynamic Simulation
Scopolin and scopoletin from Merremia peltata leaves may help treat hair loss and showed promising results in rabbit tests.
research Androgens/Androgen Receptor in the Management of Skin Diseases
Understanding how androgens and their receptors work can lead to improved treatments for skin diseases.
research The genetics of autism and steroid-related traits in prenatal and postnatal life
Autism's genetics are linked with early age of puberty and less hair loss, but not with hormone levels or polycystic ovary syndrome.
research 24-Hydroxycholesterol suppresses steroid 5α-reductase-catalyzed conversion in human glioblastoma cell lines: A novel link between brain cholesterol homeostasis and androgen metabolism
24-Hydroxycholesterol reduces DHT formation in brain cancer cells, linking cholesterol and hormone metabolism.
research Evaluation of the effects of adding an adipose tissue‐derived stromal vascular fraction to platelet‐rich plasma injection in the treatment of androgenetic alopecia: A randomized clinical trial
Adding stromal vascular fraction to platelet-rich plasma injections did not significantly improve hair growth in androgenetic alopecia treatment.
research Relationship between Serum 25-Hydroxyvitamin D Levels and Hormonal Status in Infertile Women: A Retrospective Study
Low vitamin D levels may affect ovulation and progesterone in infertile women.
research Topical Finasteride: A Comprehensive Review of Androgenetic Alopecia Management for Men and Women
Topical finasteride might be a good alternative for hair loss treatment with fewer side effects, but more research is needed.
research Comparative efficacy of topical finasteride (0.25%) in combination with minoxidil (5%) against 5% minoxidil or 0.25% finasteride alone in male androgenetic alopecia: A pilot, randomized open-label study
Using both minoxidil and finasteride together is more effective for male hair loss than using either one alone.
research Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia
Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia is a rare inherited disease causing hormone imbalances, affecting growth, fertility, and heart health, diagnosed through blood tests and treated with medication and lifestyle changes.
research Commonly prescribed medications associated with alopecia
Valproic acid, a common antiepileptic medication, can cause reversible hair loss in patients.
research Organizational Effects of Estrogens and Androgens on Estrogen and Androgen Receptor Expression in Pituitary and Adrenal Glands in Adult Male and Female Rats
Early hormones shape sex-specific differences in rat glands.
research High-throughput and direct measurement of androgen levels using turbulent flow chromatography liquid chromatography-triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (TFC-LC-TQMS) to discover chemicals that modulate dihydrotestosterone production in human prostate cancer cells
Researchers found four natural compounds that can change DHT levels in prostate cancer cells.
research Addressing Androgenetic Alopecia-A Complex Disorder-with a Multilateral Treatment Strategy
Treating hair loss effectively may require a multi-sided approach, using different treatments together, and topical treatments could be more effective and safer than oral ones.
research The Current and Emerging Role of Statins in the Treatment of PCOS: The Evidence to Date
Statins may help treat PCOS by lowering androgen levels and improving cholesterol.
research POST-FINASTERIDE SYNDROME AND POST-SSRI SEXUAL DYSFUNCTION: TWO CLINICAL CONDITIONS APPARENTLY DISTANT, BUT VERY CLOSE
Some people experience lasting sexual, psychological, and sleep problems after using finasteride or SSRI antidepressants, possibly due to similar underlying causes.

research Polymorphism of the Androgen Receptor Gene is Associated with Male Pattern Baldness
Male pattern baldness is linked to specific genetic variations in the androgen receptor gene.
research Gender Differences in Mouse Skin Morphology and Specific Effects of Sex Steroids and Dehydroepiandrosterone
