Steroids, particularly estrogens and 5α-reductase inhibitors, affect blood vessel-related hair growth processes in hair follicle cells.
research Attenuation of 5α-reductase-mediated progesterone metabolism promotes differentiation of human endometrial stromal cells for the establishment of pregnancy
Reducing 5α-reductase activity helps endometrial cells differentiate, aiding pregnancy.
research Steroidogenesis of the testis – new genes and pathways
New genes and pathways are important for testosterone production and male sexual development.

Alopecia areata may involve stress-related changes affecting hormone receptors, leading to reduced cortisol production.
research Chapter 17. Selective androgen receptor modulators (SARMs)
Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators (SARMs) are drugs that can control the effects of androgens in different tissues, potentially having fewer side effects and promising for treating various conditions.
research Novel Missense Mutation in the P-Box of Androgen Receptor in a Patient with Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome
A new mutation linked to partial Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome and prostate cancer was found in a patient unhappy with their female gender assignment.

research Astilbin Activates the Reactive Oxidative Species/PPARγ Pathway to Suppress Effector CD4+ T Cell Activities via Direct Binding With Cytochrome P450 1B1
Astilbin can potentially calm overactive immune responses, like in Type 1 Diabetes, by suppressing certain cell activities and reducing inflammation.
research Therapeutic Strategies to Target the Androgen Receptor
Therapies targeting the androgen receptor are being developed to treat prostate cancer and improve bone and muscle health.
research In Silico Screening of DrugBank Compounds as Potential Inhibitors for Human Steroid 5α-Reductase 2 for Androgen-Related Diseases
Stiripentol shows promise as a potential treatment for androgen-related diseases but needs more testing.
research Expression, characterization, and structural analysis of human liver delta4-3-ketosteroid 5beta-reductase (AKR1D1) and its disease-related mutant P133R
