A new antiandrogen compound was made and its detailed three-dimensional shape was described.
research Cyproterone acetate for hirsutism
Cyproterone acetate with estradiol may subjectively improve excessive hair growth in women, but it's not clinically better than other treatments.
research Эффективность комбинированных оральных контрацептивов у женщин с синдромом поликистозных яичников
Both finasteride and drospirenone effectively manage PCOS symptoms, but drospirenone is more effective in reducing ovarian volume and androgen levels.
research Solubilizing steroidal drugs by β-cyclodextrin derivatives
Using β-cyclodextrin derivatives improves the solubility and bioavailability of steroidal drugs.
research Role of Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) in the Pathophysiology and Clinical Manifestations of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
DHEA may play a complex role in PCOS, affecting hormones, metabolism, and symptoms.
research Effect of finasteride on the ovulatory function of normal women
Finasteride doesn't affect ovulation in normal women.
research The Biological Actions of Dehydroepiandrosterone Involves Multiple Receptors
DHEA affects multiple receptors and may help with metabolic issues, but its safety and effectiveness in humans are unclear.
research Consecutive Cyproterone Acetate and Estradiol Treatment in Late-Pubertal Transgender Female Adolescents
Cyproterone acetate treatment is safe and causes mild feminization, which increases with added estrogen.
research Progesterone in gender-affirming therapy of trans women
Progesterone may help trans women with breast development and health, but more research is needed.
research A new method for synthesis of finasteride
A new, safer method to make finasteride from progesterone is effective for industrial use.
research Efficacy of low-dose GnRH analogue (Buserelin) in the treatment of hirsutism
Low-dose Buserelin effectively reduces hirsutism with minimal side effects.
research Highly Sensitive Simultaneous Measurement of Steroid Hormone in Human Serum by Liquid Chromatography-electrospray Ionization Tandem Mass Spectrometry
A new method accurately measures nine steroid hormones in human serum with high sensitivity.
research Mechanism of action of bolandiol (19-nortestosterone-3β,17β-diol), a unique anabolic steroid with androgenic, estrogenic, and progestational activities
Bolandiol, a synthetic steroid, builds muscle and bone without greatly affecting sex glands, and works differently from other hormones.
research [Treatment of moderately severe virilism of women with Diane and Androcur 10].
Diane and Androcur 10 improved acne and seborrhea in most women, and hirsutism and alopecia in about half.
research Total testosterone to dihydrotestosterone ratio assessed by LC-MS/MS predicts a worse metabolic profile not only in PCOS patients
A higher testosterone to dihydrotestosterone ratio may indicate worse metabolic health in women.
research Markers of peripheral androgen action in vivo and in vitro
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is crucial for conditions like male-pattern baldness and acne, and measuring a byproduct, androstanediol glucuronide, is a better way to assess DHT's effects than DHT blood levels.
research Applications of steroid drugs entrapped in cyclodextrins
Cyclodextrins improve how steroid drugs work and are used in marketed medications and environmental applications.
