research Role of 5α-dihydrotestosterone in testicular development of gilthead seabream following finasteride administration
DHT affects testicular development and regulates spermatogenesis in some fish.
research New Drugs: Dutasteride
Dutasteride is approved to help manage prostate enlargement.
research Steroidal 5α-reductase and 17α-hydroxylase/17,20-lyase (CYP17) inhibitors useful in the treatment of prostatic diseases
Certain drugs that block specific enzymes can help treat prostate diseases.
research Silencing the androgen receptor: New skills for antiandrogen oligonucleotide skin and hair therapy
Targeting androgen receptors with antiandrogen oligonucleotides could effectively treat hair loss.
research In-vivo uptake and metabolism of testosterone by the skin and other tissues of the rat
Rat skin takes up and processes testosterone differently than other organs, with testosterone being more important for the skin than its metabolite 5α-DHT.
research Additive in vivo growth-inhibitory effects of flutamide and finasteride on androgen-sensitive Shionogi 115 carcinoma
Combining flutamide and finasteride can reduce prostate weight and tumor growth, potentially benefiting treatments needing optimal DHT inhibition.
research Bicalutamide in Dermatology: A Narrative Review
Bicalutamide may effectively treat female pattern hair loss with minimal side effects.
research Crystallization and preliminary X-ray analysis of the human androgen receptor ligand-binding domain with a coactivator-like peptide and selective androgen receptor modulators
Scientists successfully created and analyzed the structure of a part of the human androgen receptor with specific modulators and a peptide to understand how it binds differently in various tissues.
research Androgens Induce Nongenomic Stimulation of Colonic Contractile Activity through Induction of Calcium Sensitization and Phosphorylation of LC20 and CPI-17
Androgens like testosterone increase colon muscle contractions by affecting calcium pathways.
research Characteristics of flutamide action on prostatic and testicular functions in the rat
Flutamide combined with an LHRH agonist effectively inhibits prostate growth, suggesting it could treat prostate cancer.
research Androgen Deprivation Therapy in Prostate Cancer: Focusing on Sexual Side Effects
Androgen Deprivation Therapy for prostate cancer often reduces sexual function but intermittent therapy may be more tolerable.
research Finasteride/testosterone undecanoate
Testosterone undecanoate caused hair loss; finasteride improved it but caused stomach issues for one patient.
research Associations between semen quality and lower urinary tract symptoms in ageing male
The conclusion is that doctors should be careful when prescribing 5α-reductase inhibitors due to possible serious side effects, and they should discuss these risks with patients.
research Human androgenic steroids affect growth of dermatophytes in vitro
Androgenic steroids can slow down or stop the growth of certain skin fungi.
research COVID-19 and androgenic status: testosterone or dihydrotestosterone have a pivotal role?
Higher dihydrotestosterone may be linked to more inflammation in COVID-19 patients with low testosterone.
research [Hirsutism].
Hirsutism is excessive male-pattern hair growth mainly caused by ovarian hormones, and severe cases may require costly treatment with side effects.
research Molecular Genetic and Endocrine Mechanisms of Hair Growth
Hormones and their receptors, especially androgens, play a key role in hair growth and disorders like baldness.
research Market Analysis of 5α-Reductase Inhibitor
The market for these drugs is expected to grow.
research Diagnosis of hyperandrogenism: clinical criteria
The document concludes that hirsutism is the main sign for diagnosing hyperandrogenism, which requires a detailed patient history and physical exam.
research 592 Cross-interactions of BMP and WNT signaling pathways attenuate androgen effect on HFSC differentiation
BMPs are important for hair growth and can counteract the negative effects of androgens on hair follicle stem cells.
research Androgen Receptor Actions Modify Skin Structure and Chemical Carcinogen-induced Skin Cancer Susceptibility in Mice
Androgen receptor inactivation delays skin cancer onset and reduces incidence in mice, with gender differences in susceptibility.
research Androgens in female pig reproduction: actions mediated by the androgen receptor
Androgens may improve pig reproduction by enhancing ovulation and litter size.
