The P133R mutation in AKR1D1 enzyme causes harmful bile acid buildup, explaining related health issues.

Genetic defects in testosterone production can cause hormonal and developmental disorders, and more research is needed to understand androgen regulation and develop safer treatments.

A woman's hair loss and other symptoms were due to a rare hormone deficiency treatable with steroids.

New research is needed to create better drugs that block the enzyme responsible for conditions like male baldness and prostate enlargement.

Compound 4 is a promising treatment for hair loss with low toxicity.

Researchers developed a model to predict how well certain compounds can block an enzyme related to hair loss and prostate issues, suggesting a 50 mg dose of finasteride might be effective based on lab and body data.

Sebocytes play a key role in controlling androgen levels in human skin.

New nonsteroidal molecules can potentially increase dihydrotestosterone in neurons by blocking certain enzymes, without affecting prostate and seminal vesicle weight.

14,15-EET may help reduce poststroke pain by affecting certain brain proteins.

The black orchid Brasiliorchis schunkeana produces chemicals that attract certain insects and have potential antimicrobial properties.

A 77-year-old woman with hair loss had high testosterone and 17OH-progesterone levels, but no significant findings on imaging.

Intralesional steroids improve Alopecia Areata, and trichoscopy effectively tracks this improvement.

New genes and pathways are important for testosterone production and male sexual development.

A new method was created to test the effectiveness of Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) inhibitors, like finasteride and dutasteride, in human and fish cells. The results showed fish cells are more sensitive to these treatments, and dutasteride works better than finasteride in all tested cells.

Stopping alcohol after long-term use causes anxiety and changes brain chemicals.
