Steroidogenesis inhibitors change but don't stop androgen production in prostate cancer.

Skin produces different hormones depending on body part and sex, and a new method can measure them.

Human sebaceous glands contain enzymes that affect androgen production and may influence sebum production and acne.

Scientists made a chemical (compound 4e) that can be applied on skin to reduce oil production, which can help with acne, but it might cause skin sensitivity to light.

The substance MK386 effectively blocked testosterone conversion and reduced cell growth in certain skin cells, but inhibiting 5α-reductase alone may not greatly improve acne.

17β-Estradiol boosts allergic reactions and slows thymus aging in mice.

Erosive pustular dermatosis is a rare skin disease that's hard to treat and affects the scalp or legs.

New chemicals were made that can block an enzyme linked to hair loss, prostate growth, and acne.

Prostate cancer cells can make their own androgens to activate the androgen receptor, and treatments like abiraterone may increase this ability, suggesting new therapies should target the entire steroid-making pathway.

Neurosteroids are crucial for stress response, and targeting specific receptors may help treat certain disorders.

Eflornithine cream effectively reduces women's unwanted facial hair but hair returns if treatment stops.

Human skin can produce steroids from cholesterol.

Finasteride harms Daphnia magna's reproduction, growth, and metabolism.

Compound 15a was effective in inhibiting 5α-reductase.

Enzyme activities do not cause early pubic hair in these girls.

Prostate cells have proteins that bind to specific hormones, which can increase protein production when activated by these hormones.

Finasteride harms Daphnia magna's reproduction and metabolism.

Necl2 affects skin cell behavior and slows wound healing.

Certain drugs change freshwater snail shells to a "banana" shape.

Certain mutations in the H6PD gene cause Cortisone Reductase Deficiency by affecting hormone production.

Ketoconazole improved symptoms of ACTH-independent Cushing syndrome despite inconclusive initial scans.

Etretinate treatment changed hair growth patterns in many patients.

A new method was created to test the effectiveness of Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) inhibitors, like finasteride and dutasteride, in human and fish cells. The results showed fish cells are more sensitive to these treatments, and dutasteride works better than finasteride in all tested cells.

Edar signaling is crucial for controlling hair growth and regression.

A new method using solid-state circular dichroism anisotropy can distinguish similar chiral compounds better than traditional techniques.

Girls have higher DHEA levels earlier in puberty than boys, indicating earlier development.

DHEA therapy improved pubic hair growth and psychological well-being in young females with adrenal insufficiency.

Women with effluvium have higher levels of certain urinary steroids, possibly due to stress and increased adrenal activity.

Electron Beam Tomography (EBT) is a useful additional test to stress testing for detecting heart disease.
