research Basics of androgen synthesis and action
Androgens like testosterone are important hormones for both men and women, made differently in each sex and affecting the body by regulating genes and quick interactions with cell components.

research Androgens Affect the Activity of Human Sebocytes in Culture in a Manner Dependent on the Localization of the Sebaceous Glands and Their Effect Is Antagonized by Spironolactone
Male hormones affect oil-producing skin cells differently based on their body location, and the drug spironolactone can reduce these effects.
research Metabolic study of androsta-1,4,6-triene-3,17-dione in horses using liquid chromatography/high resolution mass spectrometry
The study found that urine metabolites M1b or M4 are the best indicators of ATD use in horses, with detection possible up to 77 hours in urine and 28 hours in blood.
research A high-performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry assay of the androgenic neurosteroid 3α-androstanediol (5α-androstane-3α,17β-diol) in plasma
Testosterone increases 3α-androstanediol levels, which can be blocked by finasteride.
research Urinary steroids in women with androgenic alopecia
Women with hair loss had higher levels of certain hormones, suggesting a link to a condition like PCOS.
research Androgen action on human skin – from basic research to clinical significance
Hormones like testosterone affect skin functions and can cause skin issues when in excess; treatments to manage these effects are only somewhat effective.
research Developmental and functional roles of androgen and interactive signals for external genitalia and erectile tissues
Androgen and Wnt signals are crucial for developing and functioning male genitalia and erectile tissues.
research Differential activity of 2-methylene-19-nor vitamin D analogs on growth factor gene expression in rhino mouse skin and comparison to all-trans retinoic acid
Some vitamin D analogs can thicken skin and reduce pore size like a common acne treatment, with one analog also affecting skin growth factors.
research Steroid 5α-reductase 2 deficiency leads to reduced dominance-related and impulse-control behaviors
Mice lacking steroid 5α-reductase 2 show less aggression and better impulse control.
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 The Rise in Adrenal Androgen Biosynthesis: Adrenarche
Adrenarche increases adrenal androgens around age 6, affecting hair growth and development.
research Nonclassic adrenal hyperplasia
Nonclassic adrenal hyperplasia is a genetic condition that can cause early puberty and fertility problems, treated with specific steroids.
research Recent advances in the molecular mechanisms determining tissue sensitivity to glucocorticoids: novel mutations, circadian rhythm and ligand-induced repression of the human glucocorticoid receptor
New findings explain how genetic changes, body clocks, and certain molecules affect tissue response to stress hormones.
research Novel insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying generalized glucocorticoid resistance and hypersensitivity syndromes
Genetic defects in the glucocorticoid receptor gene can cause conditions with abnormal sensitivity to stress hormones, and other factors may also affect this sensitivity.
research RU 58841, a new specific topical antiandrogen: A candidate of choice for the treatment of acne, androgenetic alopecia and hirsutism
RU 58841 may treat acne, hair loss, and excessive hair growth.
research Decreased allopregnanolone induced by hormonal contraceptives is associated with a reduction in social behavior and sexual motivation in female rats
Hormonal contraceptives may reduce social behavior and sexual motivation by lowering allopregnanolone levels.
research Anabolic androgenic steroids impact on cardiovascular risk and cardiovascular events. The literature review
Anabolic-androgenic steroids increase the risk of heart problems.
research Signaling by the Platelet-Derived Growth Factor Receptor Family
PDGF signaling is crucial for cell development, wound healing, and fluid regulation in the body.
research 5α-Reductases in Human Physiology: An Unfolding Story
Enzymes called 5α-reductases have many body functions and need more research to safely use inhibitors.
research CYP21A2 Genotypes do not Predict the Severity of Hyperandrogenic Manifestations in the Nonclassical Form of Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia
The severity of symptoms in nonclassical congenital adrenal hyperplasia is not determined by CYP21A2 gene variations.
research Structure of human steroid 5α-reductase 2 with anti-androgen drug finasteride
The research helps understand how finasteride works and aids drug development.
research Rational Design of a Topical Androgen Receptor Antagonist for the Suppression of Sebum Production with Properties Suitable for Follicular Delivery
A new compound was created in 2010 that can control oil production when applied to the skin, and its effects are completely reversible after two weeks.
research 216 Human hair follicles can “smell”: OR2AT4-mediated hair growth regulation
Human hair follicles have a scent receptor that can influence hair growth.
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 Markers of peripheral androgen action in vivo and in vitro
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is crucial for conditions like male-pattern baldness and acne, and measuring a byproduct, androstanediol glucuronide, is a better way to assess DHT's effects than DHT blood levels.
research (282) CONSEQUENCES OF ANABOLIC-ANDROGENIC STEROID ABUSE IN MALES: RESULTS FROM A META-ANALYSIS STUDY
