research Is Dihydrotestosterone a Classic Hormone?
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) mainly affects nearby cells, doesn't significantly change prostate hormonal environment or cancer risk, and doesn't play a main role in causing hair loss or acne. More research is needed on its effects on heart health, sexual function, and bone health.
research Development and evaluation of novel rodent model of PCOS mimicking clinical phenotype in human disease
The new rodent model successfully mimics non-lean human PCOS symptoms.
research Exploring rat corpus cavernosum alterations induced by finasteride treatment and withdrawal

Vitamin D is needed for metformin to lower prolactin effectively.
research Cross-kingdom delivery and putative gene modulation of androgen pathways by plant-derived exosome-like nanoparticles from polygoni multiflori radix promotes hair growth via miRNA cargo
Plant-derived nanoparticles from Polygoni Multiflori Radix promote hair growth better than Minoxidil by affecting androgen pathways.
research Androgen Receptor Blockade Induces the Phagocytosis of MRSA and Pseudomonas aeruginosa by Monocyte-Derived Macrophages In Vitro
Blocking androgen receptors boosts macrophages' ability to clear certain bacteria.
research Sulforaphane-Rich Broccoli Sprout Extract Promotes Hair Regrowth in an Androgenetic Alopecia Mouse Model via Enhanced Dihydrotestosterone Metabolism
Broccoli sprout extract may help regrow hair by improving hormone metabolism.
research Risk factors and lipid metabolism characteristics of early‐onset male androgenetic alopecia: A pilot study
Low HDL-C, uric acid, and 25-hydroxyvitamin D are risk factors for early-onset male hair loss.
research Dihydrotestosterone induces arterial stiffening in female mice
Dihydrotestosterone makes arteries stiffer in female mice by reducing estrogen receptor expression.
research The Possible Role of Prescribing Medications, Including Central Nervous System Drugs, in Contributing to Male-Factor Infertility (MFI): Assessment of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Pharmacovigilance Database
Some medications might contribute to male infertility, with finasteride showing a high number of reports.
research Design of Liposome Formulations for CRISPR/Cas9 Enzyme Immobilization: Evaluation of 5-Alpha-Reductase Enzyme Knockout for Androgenic Disorders
New liposome treatment successfully delivers CRISPR to deactivate a key enzyme in androgen-related disorders.
research Genetics and Epigenetics of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Genes and epigenetic changes are important in the development of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.
research Non-invasive assessment of hair regeneration in androgenetic alopecia mice in vivo using two-photon and second harmonic generation imaging

research The Impact of Gender Affirming Hormone Therapy on Physical Performance
Gender-affirming hormone therapy improves physical performance in trans men to the level of cisgender men, while in trans women, it increases fat mass and decreases muscle mass, with no advantage in physical performance after 2 years.
research 5-alpha reductase inhibitors use in prostatic disease and beyond
5-alpha reductase inhibitors, like finasteride and dutasteride, are used for prostate issues, hair loss, and excessive hair growth, may help with COVID-19, but can cause sexual and mental health side effects, and their use in preventing prostate cancer needs more examination.
