Research
60-90 / 1000+ resultsresearch Disorders linked to insufficient androgen action in male children
Insufficient androgen action in male fetuses can cause genital development issues due to genetic mutations or environmental chemicals.
research Disorders in Male Sexual Differentiation Due to 5α-Reductase-2 Deficiency
5α-reductase-2 deficiency causes ambiguous genitalia at birth and affects male sexual development, but individuals often develop male characteristics at puberty.
research Computational Evaluation of Dibenzo Compounds as Potential Dual Inhibitors of Androgen Receptor and 5α-Reductase
Some dibenzo compounds might help treat cancer with fewer side effects.
research Disruptors of Androgen Action and Synthesis
Certain pesticides and fungicides can interfere with male hormone functions, potentially causing reproductive issues in male rats.
research Marked Suppression of Dihydrotestosterone in Men with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia by Dutasteride, a Dual 5α-Reductase Inhibitor
Dutasteride more effectively lowers DHT levels in men with enlarged prostates than finasteride.
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 Diagnosis of hyperandrogenism: Biochemical criteria
The document concludes that accurate measurement of serum androgens is crucial for diagnosing hyperandrogenism.
research Androgen binding to cytosol and nuclei of hamster sebaceous glands
Dihydrotestosterone specifically binds to hamster sebaceous glands, with a higher affinity than testosterone.
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 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 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 5 Alpha-Reductase Inhibitor
5 Alpha-Reductase Inhibitors reduce the effects of testosterone by blocking its conversion into a stronger form.
research Invalidation of a commercially available human 5α-dihydrotestosterone immunoassay
The DHT immunoassay is unreliable due to high cross-reactivity with testosterone.
research A model for the turnover of dihydrotestosterone in the presence of the irreversible 5α-reductase inhibitors GI198745 and finasteride
Both drugs lower DHT levels, with GI198745 being more effective.
research Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase (17β -HSD3, 17β-HSD5, and 3α-HSD3) Inhibitors:Extragonadal Regulation of Intracellular Sex Steroid Hormone Levels
Certain inhibitors can potentially treat prostate cancer and other hormone-dependent conditions by controlling sex hormone levels in cells.
research 17-Oximino-5-androsten-3β-yl esters: synthesis, antiproliferative activity, acute toxicity, and effect on serum androgen level
Some synthesized compounds were more effective than Finasteride in reducing prostate cancer cell growth and androgen levels.
research Modelling androgen synthesis and action during human sexual differentiation
Male sexual differentiation is regulated independently, while female differentiation occurs in an androgenic environment, affecting conditions like congenital adrenal hyperplasia.
research Male pseudohermaphroditism due to 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase deficiency: Studies on the natural history of the defect and effect of androgens on gender role
Individuals with this condition often develop male traits and identities at puberty despite being raised as females.
research 5-Alpha reductase deficiency
5-alpha reductase deficiency leads to male sexual development issues and treatments like finasteride help with prostate enlargement and hair loss.
research The differences between aromatizable and non-aromatizable androgens in relation to body composition and metabolic syndrome risk factors in men
Testosterone and dihydrotestosterone have similar effects on body composition and metabolic health in men.
research Synthesis and Pharmacological Evaluation of New 16-Methyl Pregnane Derivatives.
New pregnane derivatives were more effective than finasteride at inhibiting a key enzyme for male pattern baldness.
research METABOLISM AND ACTION OF ANDROGEN IN THE SKIN
Androgens affect skin conditions like acne and hair loss through specific biochemical pathways.
research 5α‐Reductase inhibitors and prostatic disease
5α-Reductase inhibitors can help treat hair loss, acne, and prostate issues by reducing DHT levels.
research Finasteride
Finasteride reduces DHT to treat prostate issues and hair loss.
research Preparation of3H-labelled testosterone metabolites
The conclusion is that tritium-labeled testosterone metabolites can be made and are better converted into dihydrotestosterone in skin cells than in prostate tissue.
research 5α‐Reductase Isozymes and Androgen Actions in the Prostate
5α‐reductase isozymes are crucial for prostate development and health, and targeting them can help prevent and treat prostate issues.
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 9 Role of 5α-reductase in health and disease
5α-reductase is essential for male sexual development and its inhibitors have potential in treating various conditions related to hormone action.
research The Antiandrogenic Action of 4–Androsten–3–one–17β– Carboxylic Acid and Its Methyl Ester on Hamster Flank Organ1
The chemicals 17βC and its methyl ester can block the effects of testosterone on hamster skin but not the effects of DHT.
