Male genital development is driven by androgen signaling and understanding it could help address congenital anomalies.
research 11β-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 inhibitors for the treatment of type 2 diabetes
Inhibitors of 11β-HSD1 show potential for treating type 2 diabetes but require more testing for safety and effectiveness.
research Sperm aneuploidy in infertile male patients: a systematic review of the literature
Infertile men are more likely to produce sperm with abnormal chromosome numbers, which can affect pregnancy success and embryo health.
research Friends Turned Foes: Angiogenic Growth Factors beyond Angiogenesis
Some growth factors, while important for normal body functions, can cause diseases when not regulated properly.
research Corn silk extract improves benign prostatic hyperplasia in experimental rat model
Corn silk extract helps reduce prostate enlargement symptoms.
research COVID-19 and andrology: Recommendations of the French-speaking society of andrology (Société d’Andrologie de langue Française SALF)

research Biological activity of novel progesterone derivatives having a bulky ester side chains at C-3
The more lipophilic the progesterone derivative, the better it binds to androgen receptors and has antiandrogenic effects.
research Androgenetic alopecia: effects of oral finasteride on hormone profile, reproduction and sexual function
Finasteride safely treats hair loss without harming hormones or reproduction, but may slightly reduce sexual function.
research Evaluation of the 5α-reductase inhibitor finasteride on reproduction and gonadal development in medaka, Oryzias latipes
Finasteride negatively affects fish reproduction and gonadal development.
research Role of Environmental Factors and Gonadotoxin Exposure in Unexplained Male Infertility
Environmental factors and exposure to toxins may contribute to male infertility by affecting sperm and hormone function.
research Post-finasteride Syndrome: A Review of Current Literature
Post-finasteride Syndrome causes lasting negative effects, but more research is needed for treatment and risk evaluation.
research Hair Cortisol: A Biomarker of Chronic Stress in Animals and its Association with Reproduction
High levels of cortisol in hair show long-term stress which can lower fertility in animals.
research Effects of In Utero Exposure to D-004, a Lipid Extract from Roystonea regia Fruits, in the Male Rat: A Comparison with Finasteride
D-004 may be a natural alternative to finasteride for treating enlarged prostate and male baldness.
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 Pharmacology of anabolic steroids
Anabolic steroids can build muscle and strength but have risks and need more research on their clinical benefits and side effects.
research The Effect of 5α-Reductase Inhibition with Dutasteride and Finasteride on Semen Parameters and Serum Hormones in Healthy Men
