Social isolation makes rats more sensitive to alcohol's effects on the brain.
research Ethanol Enhances Neurosteroidogenesis in Hippocampal Pyramidal Neurons by Paradoxical NMDA Receptor Activation
Ethanol boosts brain steroid production by activating NMDA receptors, affecting memory formation.
research Highly Sensitive Simultaneous Measurement of Steroid Hormone in Human Serum by Liquid Chromatography-electrospray Ionization Tandem Mass Spectrometry
A new method accurately measures nine steroid hormones in human serum with high sensitivity.
research Intracrine Testosterone Activation in Human Pancreatic β-Cells Stimulates Insulin Secretion
Testosterone helps human pancreatic cells increase insulin release.
research Common Variants in the Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin (SHBG) Gene Influence SHBG Levels in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Certain SHBG gene variants, like rs727428, are linked to higher testosterone levels in women with PCOS.
research A quantitative ultra-performance liquid chromatography high-resolution mass spectrometry analysis of steroids from human scalp hair
The method can measure multiple steroids in human hair to study long-term steroid metabolism, especially in newborns and children.
research Azasteroids as inhibitors of testosterone 5α-reductase in mammalian skin
Certain 4-azasteroids are effective at blocking the enzyme that processes testosterone in human skin and could help treat acne, excessive hair growth, and male pattern baldness.
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 Testosterone protects female embryonic heart H9c2 cells against severe metabolic stress by activating estrogen receptors and up-regulating IES SUR2B
Testosterone protects female heart cells from stress by activating estrogen receptors.
research Progesterone in gender-affirming therapy of trans women
Progesterone may help trans women with breast development and health, but more research is needed.
research 5116 Postmenopausal Hyperandrogenism due to Rare Ovarian Tumor
Rare ovarian tumors can cause hyperandrogenism, even if imaging appears normal.
research The Acute Anticonvulsant Effects of Deoxycorticosterone in Developing Rats: Role of Metabolites and Mineralocorticoid‐receptor Responses
Deoxycorticosterone and its metabolites help prevent seizures by interacting with specific receptors.
research A Review of Androgen‐Progestin Regimens for Male Contraception
Hormonal male contraception is effective and could be market-ready, but more research is needed to ensure safety for all ethnic groups.
research Gene and tonic: Sonic hedgehog disruption and fetal alcohol syndrome
research Features of steroidogenesis and arterial hypertension in men in different types of "physiological" male hyperandrogenism
Men with high testosterone may have higher morning blood pressure, unlike those with high DHT.
research Failure of Topical Estrogen Receptor Agonists and Antagonists to Alter Murine Hair Follicle Cycling
Topical estrogen treatments did not change hair growth in certain mouse strains, questioning previous findings on their role in hair growth control.
research Spironolactone Therapy for Hirsutism in a Hyperandrogenic Woman
Spironolactone may help reduce excessive hair growth in women with high male hormone levels.
research Endocrine Aspects of Female Sexual Dysfunction
Hormones like estrogen, testosterone, progesterone, and prolactin play complex roles in female sexual function, with testosterone potentially improving sexual desire, arousal, and satisfaction. However, more research is needed to establish safe and effective hormone treatments for female sexual dysfunction.
research 9243 Postmenopausal Hyperandrogenism due to Rare Ovarian Tumor
Bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy resolved hyperandrogenism in a postmenopausal woman with rare ovarian tumors.
research Dependence of anxiolytic effects of the dipeptide TSPO ligand GD-23 on neurosteroid biosynthesis
GD-23 reduces anxiety by relying on neurosteroid production.
research Inositol and FSH: A new frontier for the androgenetic alopecia treatment in PCOS
research Increased anxiety‐like phenotype in female guinea pigs following reduced neurosteroid exposure in utero
Female guinea pigs exposed to less allopregnanolone before birth showed more anxiety-like behavior.
research The Mechanism of Androgen Actions in PCOS Etiology
Androgens play a key role in causing PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome).
research The Use of Ovarian Vein Sampling to Lateralize a Virilizing Leydig Cell Ovarian Tumor
Ovarian vein sampling can effectively locate ovarian tumors when imaging is unclear.
research Systematic analyses of murine masculinization processes based on genital sex differentiation parameters
DHT is crucial for urethral formation, and its disruption can affect masculinization and lead to hypospadias.
research Androgens Affect the Activity of Human Sebocytes in Culture in a Manner Dependent on the Localization of the Sebaceous Glands and Their Effect Is Antagonized by Spironolactone
Male hormones affect oil-producing skin cells differently based on their body location, and the drug spironolactone can reduce these effects.

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 5α-Reductases In Human Physiology: an Unfolding Story
We need to learn more about 5α-reductases and neuroactive steroids to safely make drugs targeting these enzymes.
