research DHT and E2 synthesis-related proteins and receptors expression in male yak skin during different hair follicle stages
Male yak hair growth is influenced by DHT synthesis, which is promoted by 5α-red1 and AR during growth phases, while E2 may inhibit growth through ERα.
research Effect of perfluorooctanesulfonate exposure on steroid hormone levels and steroidogenic enzyme activities in juvenile Silurana tropicalis
PFOS exposure disrupts hormone levels and enzyme activities in juvenile frogs, affecting males and females differently.

research [Epididymis in an experimental model of DHT deficiency: immunolocalization of ERalpha and ERbeta in rat epididymal epithelial cells. In vivo and in vitro studies].
DHT deficiency may disrupt rat epididymis function by affecting estrogen receptors.
research Hormone-induced aberrations in electromagnetic adhesion signaling as a developmental factor of androgenetic alopecia
Hormones cause hair loss by affecting cell growth and weakening cell attraction.
research The influence of cyclosporine A therapy on sex hormone levels in pre- and post-menopausal women with primary biliary cirrhosis
Cyclosporine A therapy changes sex hormone levels differently in pre-menopausal and post-menopausal women with primary biliary cirrhosis.
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.
