240-270 / 1000+ results research The Rise in Adrenal Androgen Biosynthesis: Adrenarche
Adrenarche increases adrenal androgens around age 6, affecting hair growth and development.
research Dutasteride in Androgenetic Alopecia: An Update
Dutasteride is becoming a popular hair loss treatment, proving more effective than finasteride with similar side effects.
research Biological activity of novel progesterone derivatives having a bulky ester side chains at C-3
The more lipophilic the progesterone derivative, the better it binds to androgen receptors and has antiandrogenic effects.
research Azasteroids as inhibitors of testosterone 5α-reductase in mammalian skin
Certain 4-azasteroids are effective at blocking the enzyme that processes testosterone in human skin and could help treat acne, excessive hair growth, and male pattern baldness.
research Steroid 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase deficiency in man: An inherited form of male pseudohermaphroditism
Affected males are born with ambiguous genitalia, raised as females, but develop male traits at puberty due to enzyme deficiency.
research Human androgenic steroids affect growth of dermatophytes in vitro
Androgenic steroids can slow down or stop the growth of certain skin fungi.
research Anabolic effect of dihydrotestosterone in testicular feminization syndrome
Dihydrotestosterone has a reduced effect on muscle-building in people with testicular feminization syndrome, especially after their gonads are removed.
research 46,XY DSD due to impaired androgen production
Impaired androgen production in 46,XY DSDs causes ambiguous genitalia and requires long-term care.
research Caffeic acid N-[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl] amide as a non-steroidal inhibitor for steroid 5α-reductase type 1 using a human keratinocyte cell-based assay and molecular dynamics
Compound 4 is a promising treatment for hair loss with low toxicity.
research Activity of steroid 4 and derivatives 4a–4f as inhibitors of the enzyme 5α-reductase 1
Compounds 4, 4b, and 4c effectively inhibit an enzyme linked to testosterone conversion without significant toxicity.
research Synthesis and biological evaluation of 3-tetrazolo steroidal analogs: Novel class of 5α-reductase inhibitors
3-tetrazolo steroidal analogs can strongly inhibit the enzyme linked to hair loss.
research Screening of synthetic and natural product databases: Identification of novel androgens and antiandrogens
Researchers found new potential treatments for conditions related to the androgen receptor, like male hormonal contraception, by testing thousands of compounds.
research Testicular Steroidogenesis
Genetic defects in testosterone production can cause hormonal and developmental disorders, and more research is needed to understand androgen regulation and develop safer treatments.
research Dihydrotestosterone, and Not Testosterone, Enhances the LPS-Induced Inflammatory Cytokine Gene Expression in Human Adipocytes
Dihydrotestosterone boosts inflammation in fat cells more than testosterone.
research Testosterone metabolite nonessential for androgen effects
The body's change of testosterone into DHT is not necessary for testosterone's muscle and sexual effects.
research Novel azaandrostane derivatives for the synthesis of 17β‐(N‐tert‐butyl carbamoyl)‐4‐aza‐5α‐androst‐1‐ene‐3‐one
A new method to make finasteride for hair loss treatment was developed.
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 Androgen receptor inhibits the hair follicle induction potential of dermal papilla cells by binding with Tcf4 at the A574 binding site
research 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 Testosterone and doping control
The document concludes that better biomarkers are needed to detect long-term oral testosterone use in athletes.
research The role of androgen therapy
Androgens, male hormones, play a role in both men and women's health, and testosterone therapy can help women with low levels, but it's not suitable for pregnant or lactating women, or those with certain conditions.
