research Dehydroepiandrosterone for women in the peri- or postmenopausal phase
DHEA may help with sexual function when used intravaginally by menopausal women but is similar to hormone therapy in other aspects and might cause more side effects like acne and hair loss.
research Advances in male hormone substitution therapy
New treatments for low male hormones improved sexual function and mood but had unclear risks, especially for older men.
research Pharmacokinetic parameters and mechanisms of inhibition of rat type 1 and 2 steroid 5α-reductases: determinants for different in vivo activities of GI198745 and finasteride in the rat 3 3Abbreviations: r5AR1, rat 5α-reductase 1; r5AR2, rat 5α-reductase 2; and DHT, dihydrotestosterone.
GI198745 is more potent and longer-lasting than finasteride, potentially better for treating hair loss.
research Markers of peripheral androgen action in vivo and in vitro
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is crucial for conditions like male-pattern baldness and acne, and measuring a byproduct, androstanediol glucuronide, is a better way to assess DHT's effects than DHT blood levels.
research Structure of human steroid 5α-reductase 2 with anti-androgen drug finasteride
The research helps understand how finasteride works and aids drug development.
research Epitestosterone—an endogenous antiandrogen?
Epitestosterone may act as a weak antiandrogen and can inhibit an enzyme involved in testosterone metabolism.
research Anabolic and Metabolic Effects of Testosterone and Other Androgens: Direct Effects and Role of Testosterone Metabolic Products
Testosterone and its metabolites have varied effects on different body systems, especially during puberty.
research The Role of Sex Hormones in Skin Health
Sex hormones are crucial for healthy skin and managing skin conditions.
research Men and women, so different, so similar: observations from cross-sex hormone treatment of transsexual subjects
Cross-sex hormone treatment in transsexual individuals helps understand how sex hormones affect diseases like heart disease and diabetes.
research Effects of testosterone, dihydrotestosterone and estradiol on the growth behavior of cultured hair bulb papilla cells and root sheath fibroblasts
Testosterone and dihydrotestosterone slow hair cell growth, while estradiol has no effect.
research Hormonal Treatment of Transgender Women with Oral Estradiol
Oral estradiol works for many transgender women but needs personalized dosing and monitoring.
research Testosterone-stimulated weanlings as an alternative to castrated male rats in the Hershberger anti-androgen assay
Using testosterone-stimulated weanling rats can effectively replace castrated rats for anti-androgen testing, reducing animal stress.
research The effect of the antiandrogen IIα-hydroxyprogesterone on sebum production and cholesterol concentration of sebum
The antiandrogen 11α-hydroxyprogesterone effectively reduces skin oil and cholesterol when applied to the skin.
research Advances and Challenges in Plant Sterol Research: Fundamentals, Analysis, Applications and Production
Plant sterols have health benefits like lowering cholesterol, but more research is needed to understand their effects and improve their extraction and sustainability.
research Anabolic potential of bone mineral in human periosteal fibroblasts using steroid markers of healing
Bone mineral and minocycline boost bone cell growth, aiding healing.
research Testosterone Metabolism in Human Skin Cells in vitro and Its Interaction with Estradiol and Dutasteride
Different skin cells process testosterone differently, and certain drugs can change this process, possibly helping treat acne and hair loss.
research Synthesis and Structure–Activity Relationships of the First Ferrocenyl-Aryl-Hydantoin Derivatives of the Nonsteroidal Antiandrogen Nilutamide
Scientists made the first metal-based compounds from a nonsteroidal antiandrogen drug, which showed potential in fighting both hormone-dependent and independent prostate cancer cells.
research Synthesis of N-Substituted 3-Oxo-17b- carboxamide-4-aza-5a-androstanes and the Tautomerism of 3-Oxo-4-aza-5-androstenes
Researchers made two new compounds that could be used for medicine.
research HORMONAL STATUS IN POSTMENOPAUSAL ANDROGENETIC ALOPECIA
No significant hormone differences found in postmenopausal women with androgenetic alopecia.
research Mixture effects of endocrine disrupting compounds in vitro
Weak endocrine disruptors in mixtures can have significant effects and should be considered in risk assessments.
research Exploring the Impact of the Microbiome on Neuroactive Steroid Levels in Germ-Free Animals
Gut microbes significantly affect brain steroid levels.
research Regression of Pathologic Changes Induced by the Long-term Administration of Contraceptive Steroids to Rodents
Some steroid-induced health issues in rodents improved after stopping treatment, but hair loss and eye problems did not.
research Studies on neurosteroids XXIV. Determination of neuroactive androgens, androsterone and 5α‐androstane‐3α,17β‐diol, in rat brain and serum using liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry
The methods accurately measured brain androgens, showing most 5α-androstane-3α,17β-diol comes from outside the brain, while androsterone is both transported and made in the brain.
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 Hypertrichosis and topical corticosteroid use
Prolonged use of topical corticosteroids can cause excessive hair growth.
