research METABOLIC, REPRODUCTIVE OUTCOMES AND SIDE EFFECTS AFTER THE ADMINISTRATION OF 100 MG DEHYDROEPIANDROSTERONE (DHEA) IN WOMEN WITH AN ADEQUATE OVARIAN RESERVE
Taking 100 mg of DHEA daily for 16 weeks did not change metabolic and reproductive health significantly but increased certain ovarian markers with minimal side effects.
research Measurement and comparison of various androgen levels in women with severe acne, hirsutism, and androgenic alopecia
Women with severe acne, hirsutism, and androgenic alopecia often have higher levels of certain androgens, but the specific pattern can't be predicted just by looking at symptoms.
research Biosynthesis of Dihydrotestosterone by a Pathway that Does Not Require Testosterone as an Intermediate in the SZ95 Sebaceous Gland Cell Line
Dihydrotestosterone can be made from dehydroepiandrosterone in skin cells without needing testosterone.
research In silico screening of effective inhibitor of 5α-reductase type 1 for androgenic alopecia treatment
β-sitosterol and brassicasterol may help treat hair loss.
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 ANTIANDROGEN AND HORMONAL TREATMENT OF ACNE
Certain hormone treatments can improve acne and related conditions in women.
research Cortexolone 17a-propionate: Preclinical profile of a new topical, skin selective, steroidal antiandrogen
Clofazimine may be effective for treating ashy dermatosis.
research Synthesis and Evaluation of 2‘-Substituted 4-(4‘-Carboxy- or 4‘-carboxymethylbenzylidene)-N-acylpiperidines: Highly Potent and in Vivo Active Steroid 5α-Reductase Type 2 Inhibitors
Compounds 15, 20, and 25 are strong inhibitors of human steroid 5α-reductase type 2.
research Mechanisms that regulate androgen receptor transcriptional activity
DHT enhances androgen receptor activity more than testosterone, and MAGE-11 influences this activity through specific interactions.
research Dutasteride for Androgenetic Alopecia—Words of Caution
Dutasteride's effect on hair loss treatment is uncertain and should be used cautiously.
research News & Notes
Loop diuretics may double bone loss in elderly men, finasteride lowers prostate cancer risk but may increase high-grade tumors, abarelix reduces testosterone quickly, and transdermal testosterone offers minimal sexual benefit for women.
research Molecular Interactions of New Pregnenedione Derivatives
The new progesterone derivatives effectively inhibit 5α-reductase and bind to the androgen receptor.
research Human androgenic steroids affect growth of dermatophytes in vitro
Androgenic steroids can slow down or stop the growth of certain skin fungi.
research Significance of RU58841 as a therapeutic agent effecting androgen receptor molecular interactions in human hair follicles.
RU58841, a substance from France, can potentially block the effects of hormones that cause hair loss and excessive hair growth, performing better than a similar substance, cyproterone acetate.
research Molecular interactions of natural and synthetic steroids in female hamsters’ flank organs
Testosterone, progesterone, and levonorgestrel change enzyme levels related to fat production in hamster skin, which could affect skin oil and acne.
research Consequences of Anabolic-Androgenic Steroid Abuse in Males; Sexual and Reproductive Perspective
Using anabolic-androgenic steroids can harm men's reproductive health and increase the risk of heart problems and death.
research Dexamethasone, a Synthetic Glucocorticoid, Induces the Activity of Androgen Receptor in Human Dermal Papilla Cells
Dexamethasone increases the activity of androgen receptors in human skin cells, which may link it to certain types of hair loss.
