SHBG binding properties are unchanged in male liver cirrhosis patients.
research Testosterone Reduces Knee Passive Range of Motion and Expression of Relaxin Receptor Isoforms via 5α-Dihydrotestosterone and Androgen Receptor Binding
Testosterone reduces knee flexibility by affecting relaxin receptors.
research Correlation of clinical and biochemical hyperandrogenism in Thai women with polycystic ovary syndrome
Blood tests are needed to confirm high male hormone levels in women with PCOS, as physical signs alone are not reliable.
research Common urologic diseases in older men and their treatment: how they impact fertility
Urologic diseases and treatments in older men can negatively affect fertility, and doctors should talk to patients about this.
research The role of androgens in hormone replacement therapy
Androgen therapy can help with symptoms like low libido in women, but more research is needed to understand its long-term safety and effects on health.
research 5-Alpha-reductase deficiency in a Saudi "girl"
A Saudi individual initially identified as a girl had a genetic disorder affecting gender development.
research Concomitant immobilization of androgen receptors and 5α- reductase in androgenic alopecia
Anagen grow may effectively treat hair loss by blocking testosterone and reducing enzyme activity.
research Correlation of androgenetic alopecia and early onset coronary heart disease in men.
Men with early-onset baldness may have a higher risk of heart disease.
research Three-Month Treatment With a Long-Acting Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone Agonist of Patients With Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia: Effects on Tissue Androgen Concentration, 5α-Reductase Activity and Androgen Receptor Content*
A three-month treatment with a GnRH agonist significantly lowered androgen levels and 5α-reductase activity in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia.
research The 5α-reductase inhibitor Dutasteride but not Finasteride protects dopamine neurons in the MPTP mouse model of Parkinson’s disease
Dutasteride protects dopamine neurons in Parkinson's mice, but Finasteride doesn't.
research Serum concentrations of dihydrotestosterone are associated with symptoms of hypogonadism in biochemically eugonadal men
Higher DHT levels are linked to fewer hypogonadism symptoms in men with normal testosterone levels.
research 5α‐reductase inhibitors: Evaluation of their potential confounding effect on GC‐C‐IRMS doping analysis
5α-reductase inhibitors can interfere with doping tests by masking banned substances.
research (291) The Effect of Administration and Discontinuation of Finasteride in Male Rats
Finasteride's negative effects on brain tissue in male rats may be reversible after stopping the drug.
research Effect of petroleum ether and ethanol fractions of seeds of Abrus precatorius on androgenic alopecia
The seeds of Abrus precatorius, when processed, can prevent hair loss more effectively than common treatments.
research Potential targets in the discovery of new hair growth promoters for androgenic alopecia
The document concludes that targeting 5α-reductase, the androgen receptor, and hair growth genes, along with using compounds with anti-androgenic properties, could lead to more effective hair loss treatments.
research Androgen binding profiles of two distinct nuclear androgen receptors in Atlantic croaker (Micropogonias undulatus)
Different types of androgens bind differently to two receptors, AR1 and AR2, in Atlantic croaker's brain and ovarian tissues, suggesting these receptors may control different androgen actions in fish.
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 in rat liver: Characterization and separation from a male-specific estrogen-binding protein
Male rats have androgen receptors in their liver, which are different from proteins that bind estrogen.
research Detection of urine metabolites in polycystic ovary syndrome by UPLC triple-TOF-MS
Researchers found potential urine markers for polycystic ovary syndrome, including testosterone-glucuronide and 11α-hydroxyprogesterone, which may help diagnose the condition.
research Metabolic study of androsta-1,4,6-triene-3,17-dione in horses using liquid chromatography/high resolution mass spectrometry
The study found that urine metabolites M1b or M4 are the best indicators of ATD use in horses, with detection possible up to 77 hours in urine and 28 hours in blood.
research Recent Advances in Drug Design and Drug Discovery for Androgen- Dependent Diseases
New treatments for prostate cancer and BPH show promise, including novel compounds that target hormone synthesis and response.
research Steroid Hormones
