840-870 / 1000+ resultsresearch Molecular Interactions and Release Mechanisms of Finasteride in β-CD and Trimethyl-β-CD Complexes: A Computational and Experimental Approach
TM-β-CD improves finasteride's solubility and delivery, while β-CD offers better long-term release.
research Novel Synthetic Steroid Derivatives: Target Prediction and Biological Evaluation of Antiandrogenic Activity
New steroid compounds may help with hormonal therapy and have potential benefits for glucose disorders, but more research is needed.
research Local stimulation of sebaceous gland activity by the topical administration of dehydroepiandrosterone
Topical DHEA safely increases skin oil production.
research Steroid 5α-Reductase Inhibitors
New steroidal compounds could be effective for treating conditions related to 5α-reductase enzyme activity.
research Testosterone in Women: Measurement and Therapeutic Use
Testosterone therapy can modestly improve sexual function in menopausal women but should be used cautiously and is not recommended for routine measurement in sexual dysfunction or hirsutism.
research Androgenic effects of oral contraceptives: Implications for patient compliance
Newer low-dose oral contraceptives with less androgenic effects improve patient compliance.
research 892 Behavior of the two circulating androgens testosterone and DHEA and their main intracellular metabolites in an androgen-sensitive sebocyte cell line
Testosterone affects androgen receptors and lipid storage in cells, while DHEA does not convert to testosterone or affect these receptors in the same way.
research Rational Design and Synthesis of 4-((1R,2R)-2-Hydroxycyclohexyl)-2(trifluoromethyl)benzonitrile (PF-998425), a Novel, Nonsteroidal Androgen Receptor Antagonist Devoid of Phototoxicity for Dermatological Indications
PF-998425 is a new, effective, and non-phototoxic treatment for skin conditions related to androgens.
research Disappearance of a virilizing adrenal tumor following therapy with cyproterone acetate
A woman's adrenal tumor disappeared after treatment with cyproterone acetate.

research Targets to treat androgen excess in polycystic ovary syndrome
The conclusion is that while oral contraceptive pills are effective for PCOS-related high androgen levels, new treatments with fewer side effects are needed.
research Gonadotrophin-releasing hormone agonist therapy for hirsutism is as effective as high dose cyproterone acetate but results in a longer remission
Hormone therapy for excessive hair growth is as good with GnRHa as with high-dose CPA, but GnRHa has longer-lasting results.
