research CAG Repeat Testing of Androgen Receptor Polymorphism: Is This Necessary for the Best Clinical Management of Hypogonadism?
Testing for CAG repeat polymorphism in the androgen receptor gene is not currently recommended for managing hypogonadism.
research Altered brain and pituitary androgen metabolism by prenatal, perinatal or pre- and postnatal finasteride, flutamide or dihydrotestosterone treatment in juvenile male rats
Treatment during development affects hormone balance and sexual behavior in male rats.
research Testosterone levels in relation to oral contraceptive use and the androgen receptor CAG and GGC length polymorphisms in healthy young women
Oral contraceptives lower testosterone levels in women, especially those with certain genetic traits, and may be linked to increased breast cancer risk.
research Dihydrotestosterone-induced hair regrowth inhibition by activating androgen receptor in C57BL6 mice simulates androgenetic alopecia
DHT stops hair regrowth in mice, similar to human hair loss.
research Androgens in SARS-CoV-2 Coronavirus Infections
Men, particularly those with hair loss, are more likely to get the virus, and those with prostate cancer may have milder symptoms. Testosterone's role in the disease is unclear, and the virus doesn't seem to harm male fertility. Women with PCOS might be at higher risk. More research is needed.
research Biological Profile of Cortexolone 17a-Propionate (CB-03-01), a New Topical and Peripherally Selective Androgen Antagonist
CB-03-01 is a promising skin cream for treating hormone-related skin problems without causing harmful body-wide effects.
research The Value of Androgen Measures for Diagnosing Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) in an Unselected Population
Androgen measurements are mostly unnecessary for diagnosing PCOS, except in women with menstrual issues.
research Expression of type 1 5α-reductase and metabolism of testosterone in reconstructed human epidermis (SkinEthic®): a new model for screening skin-targeted androgen modulators
The study created a new method to test drugs that affect hormone processing in skin.
research Pharmacologically altered Androgens, Brain Activation and Response Inhibition in a Stop-Signal Task in Male Heavy Drinkers
Lower DHT and higher testosterone levels increase brain activation but don't change behavior in heavy drinkers.
research Androgen receptor gene polymorphism and biological age markers in men
AR gene variations don't affect aging markers in men.
research Androgen-Related Alopecia and Infertility: Impact of Lifestyle Modifications
Lifestyle changes can significantly improve hair loss in overweight women with PCOS.
research Subject Index
The document lists various dermatology topics, treatments, and diagnostic methods.
research Regulatory roles of androgens in cutaneous wound healing
Testosterone may slow down wound healing and increase inflammation.
research Intratumoral De Novo Steroid Synthesis Activates Androgen Receptor in Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer and Is Upregulated by Treatment with CYP17A1 Inhibitors
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.
research Androgen‐inducible TGF‐β1 from balding dermal papilla cells inhibits epithelial cell growth: a clue to understanding paradoxical effects of androgen on human hair growth
Androgens may cause hair loss by increasing TGF-beta1 from scalp cells, which inhibits hair cell growth.
research Androgens and androgen receptor action in skin and hair follicles
Male hormones and their receptors play a key role in hair loss and skin health, with potential new treatments being explored.
research Genome-wide association study identifies a new locus JMJD1C at 10q21 that may influence serum androgen levels in men
A new gene, JMJD1C, may affect testosterone levels in men.
research Identification of Androgen-Inducible TGF-β1 Derived from Dermal Papilla Cells as a Key Mediator in Androgenetic Alopecia
TGF-β1 from dermal papilla cells suppresses hair growth, and targeting it may help treat androgenetic alopecia.
research Vitamin D and androgen receptor-targeted therapy for triple-negative breast cancer
Targeting vitamin D and androgen receptors may effectively treat triple-negative breast cancer, especially with chemotherapy.
research 8 Hair follicles and associated glands as androgen targets
Androgens like testosterone affect hair growth and oil production differently across body parts and individuals.
research Key targets of hormonal treatment of prostate cancer. Part 2: the androgen receptor and 5α-reductase
Blocking DHT production more strongly may help control advanced prostate cancer and improve quality of life.
research Non-canonical dimerization of the androgen receptor and other nuclear receptors: implications for human disease
Mutations in certain receptors can cause diseases and offer new treatment options.
research Androgen receptor activation integrates complex transcriptional effects in osteoblasts, involving the growth factors TGF-β and IGF-I, and transcription factor C/EBPδ
DHT affects bone growth by altering gene activity in osteoblasts, potentially complicating steroid use.
research Simultaneous determination of androgens and prostaglandins in human urine using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry
Researchers developed a reliable way to measure hormones in urine, showing that a baldness treatment doesn't change hormone levels.
research Analysis of androgen receptor expression and activity in the mouse brain
Androgen receptors in the mouse brain may explain cognitive and mood changes in prostate cancer treatment.
research Advances in Knowledge of Androgens: How Intentional and Accidental Neurosteroid Changes Inform Us of Their Action and Role
Finasteride can have lasting negative effects on brain function and behavior by disrupting neurosteroid production.
research Insights From Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry-Measured Androgens in Indian Women With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Androstenedione is better than testosterone for diagnosing PCOS in Indian women.
research The Case of the Elusive Androgen
The patient's high testosterone was reduced by a medication that suppresses gonadotropin.
research Physiopathology and current treatments of androgenetic alopecia: Going beyond androgens and anti‐androgens
Hair loss treatments work better with lifestyle changes.
