Glucocorticoids reduce fat production in liver cells, while androgens increase it in females; manipulating certain enzymes can influence these effects.

Androgens are essential for maintaining adult neuromuscular structure.

Finasteride may affect PNMT, causing side effects.

The enzymes 5α-reductase and 3α/β-hydroxysteroid oxidoreductase help create brain-active substances from progesterone and testosterone, which could be used for treatment, but more research is needed to ensure their safety and effectiveness.

Progesterone and its byproducts control a specific receptor in the brain independently of progesterone receptors, affecting conditions related to the menstrual cycle.

Progesterone reduces spinal reflex activity by increasing certain GABA(A) receptor subtypes.

Finasteride and dutasteride can cause sexual problems like impotence and low libido.

5α-reduced progestogens may reduce mood issues and brain damage linked to HIV-1 Tat.

Rodent models of PCOS show some similar and some different lipid changes compared to humans.

17β-estradiol lowers polyamine oxidase levels in breast cancer cells through estrogen receptor 2.

Women with androgenetic alopecia have normal levels of most blood steroids and binding proteins, but higher dehydroepiandrosterone. Some also have low "sex hormone-binding globulin" and "corticosteroide-binding globulin" capacity, and high "free androgen index" and "free cortisol index". Diane treatment can normalize these levels and improve hair conditions.

FCE 28260 is a stronger and longer-lasting inhibitor of 5α-reductase than finasteride, which may make it a better treatment for certain medical conditions.

Antiandrogens help treat hormone-related conditions in both men and women.

Hirsutism and alopecia during menopause can be diagnosed and treated with specific hormonal and topical therapies.

Drugs that block DHT production can effectively treat enlarged prostate and improve urinary issues with some sexual side effects.

A woman's masculine features were caused by a rare ovarian tumor that produced male hormones.

Anabolic steroids and inflammation can disrupt androgen metabolism, potentially causing health issues.

Ovarian hyperthecosis caused high testosterone and virilization symptoms in a 60-year-old woman, which improved after surgery.

Finasteride is effective and safe for treating hidradenitis suppurativa in both adults and some younger patients.

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

Low-dose oral minoxidil effectively reduces hair loss in women with female pattern hair loss.

Babies were mostly born healthy from fathers who took finasteride, but some pregnancies ended early; more research is needed.

Bisphenol-A (BPA) increases connections between brain cells and boosts their activity, but it blocks the effects of a male hormone on brain cell plasticity.

PFAS exposure in adolescence may delay puberty in females.

Dutasteride is more effective for male pattern baldness than finasteride, and black cohosh extract BNO 1055 is as effective as conjugated estrogens in treating postmenopausal symptoms, with added benefits in reducing sweating and mental symptoms.

The same gene mutation can cause different symptoms in family members.

High doses of nandrolone decanoate disrupt ovarian hormones and receptors in rats, with recovery only at lower doses and longer recovery times.

Androgens prevent hair growth by changing Wnt signals in cells.
