research Endocrinology of Transgender Medicine
Hormone treatments for transgender individuals generally improve mental health and physical transition, with some health risks that require medical supervision.
research A New Look at the 5?-Reductase Inhibitor Finasteride
Finasteride treats enlarged prostate and hair loss, but may cause side effects in some patients.
research Potential adverse effects of long-term testosterone therapy
Long-term testosterone therapy can cause hormone suppression, affect prostate and heart health, and alter physical characteristics, but does not increase prostate cancer risk and needs more research for full risk assessment.
research Steroid Sulfatase in the Human Hair Follicle Concentrates in the Dermal Papilla
Steroid sulfatase in hair follicles may be a target for treating hair loss.
research Androgen binding profiles of two distinct nuclear androgen receptors in Atlantic croaker (Micropogonias undulatus)
Different types of androgens bind differently to two receptors, AR1 and AR2, in Atlantic croaker's brain and ovarian tissues, suggesting these receptors may control different androgen actions in fish.
research Treatment of male rats with finasteride, an inhibitor of 5alpha-reductase enzyme, induces long-lasting effects on depressive-like behavior, hippocampal neurogenesis, neuroinflammation and gut microbiota composition
Finasteride treatment in male rats causes long-lasting effects on depression-like behavior, brain cell growth, inflammation, and gut bacteria composition.
research Safety concerns regarding 5α reductase inhibitors for the treatment of androgenetic alopecia
5α reductase inhibitors treat hair loss but may cause sexual side effects and risks.
research Clinical relevance of testosterone and dihydrotestosterone metabolism in women
Testosterone and dihydrotestosterone play a role in women's health issues like excess hair and baldness, and treatments blocking these hormones may help.
research Factors affecting the severity of central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia
Longer hair loss leads to more severe CCCA; early treatment and avoiding damaging hairstyles help regrowth.
research Sex steroid hormones are associated with mortality in COVID-19 patients
Low testosterone and SHBG levels are linked to higher COVID-19 death rates.
research The anxiolytic effect of pregnancy in rats is reversed by finasteride
Pregnancy reduces anxiety in rats, but finasteride reverses this effect.
research Cholesterol homeostasis: Links to hair follicle biology and hair disorders
Cholesterol balance is important for hair health, and problems with it can lead to hair loss conditions.
research Adverse health effects of androgen use
Using anabolic androgenic steroids can cause serious, lasting health problems in many parts of the body.
research The Implication of Neuroactive Steroids in Tourette's Syndrome Pathogenesis: A Role for 5α‐Reductase?
Neuroactive steroids and the enzyme 5α-reductase might be involved in the development of Tourette's syndrome.
research Exposure of Xenopus laevis tadpoles to finasteride, an inhibitor of 5-α reductase activity, impairs spermatogenesis and alters hypophyseal feedback mechanisms
Finasteride exposure harms tadpole reproduction and hormone balance.
research Current concepts in aesthetic endocrinology
Hormones affect skin aging and fat distribution, and treatments can help, but only minoxidil is proven for female hair loss.
research Exploring the Impact of the Microbiome on Neuroactive Steroid Levels in Germ-Free Animals
Gut microbes significantly affect brain steroid levels.
research Beyond testosterone cypionate: evidence behind the use of nandrolone in male health and wellness
Nandrolone might increase muscle mass with fewer side effects than testosterone but could cause erectile dysfunction and needs more research.
research Recent Advances in Drug Design and Drug Discovery for Androgen- Dependent Diseases
New treatments for prostate cancer and BPH show promise, including novel compounds that target hormone synthesis and response.
