research Effect of finasteride, a 5 alpha-reductase inhibitor, on serum gonadotropins in normal men.
Finasteride doesn't affect hormone levels in normal men.
research Protective effect of DA-9401 in finasteride-induced apoptosis in rat testis: inositol requiring kinase 1 and c-Jun N-terminal kinase pathway
DA-9401 helps protect rat testis from finasteride damage.
research COVID-19 pandemic: what about the gonads?
COVID-19 may affect male fertility and women might have better outcomes due to hormonal and immune differences.
research Determinants of Plasma Androgen and Estrogen Levels in Men
Understanding testosterone and estradiol levels is crucial for identifying normal and abnormal hormone levels in men, especially as they age.
research Testosterone Is a Contraceptive and Should Not Be Used in Men Who Desire Fertility
Testosterone replacement therapy can prevent men from fathering children and should not be used by those wanting to stay fertile.
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 Corticotropin releasing factor-1 receptor antagonism associated with favorable outcomes of male reproductive health biochemical parameters
Blocking CRF1 receptors improved male hormone levels and reduced testicular tumor size in men with a specific adrenal condition.
research Physiology of the Hypothalamic Pituitary Gonadal Axis in the Male
The document explains how the male reproductive system works, its role in making testosterone, and how conditions like obesity can disrupt it, leading to low testosterone and fertility issues.
research Sex differences in the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis’ response to stress: an important role for gonadal hormones
Male and female bodies respond differently to stress, influenced by hormones and development stages, with implications for stress-related diseases.
research Gonadal Sex Steroids: Production, Action and Interactions in Mammals
The document concludes that sex hormones are crucial for mammalian reproduction, health, and behavior, and require more research for therapeutic use.
research IMPACT OF MERCURY ON SEX HORMONES (LITERATURE REVIEW)
Mercury can disrupt sex hormones and cause reproductive issues.
research Hair Cortisol: A Biomarker of Chronic Stress in Animals and its Association with Reproduction
High levels of cortisol in hair show long-term stress which can lower fertility in animals.
research Preponderance of serum and intra-hepatic 5α-dihydrotestosterone in males with hepatocellular carcinoma despite low circulating androgen levels
Men with liver cancer have higher levels of a specific testosterone byproduct in their liver and blood, despite overall lower male hormone levels.
research The profile of steroid hormones in human fetal and adult ovaries
Fetal ovaries produce different hormones than adult ovaries, and endocrine-disrupting chemicals may affect this process.
research Determining Cortisol in Animal Hair as a Marker of Chronic Stress
Hair cortisol can indicate animal stress but varies with many factors.
research Prevention of Male Late-Onset Hypogonadism by Natural Polyphenolic Antioxidants
Natural antioxidants like flavonoids and resveratrol may help prevent low testosterone in aging men.
research Consequences of Anabolic-Androgenic Steroid Abuse in Males; Sexual and Reproductive Perspective
Using anabolic-androgenic steroids can harm men's reproductive health and increase the risk of heart problems and death.
research The effect of hormones of the hypothalamic-pituitary-target gland axes in a kidney-yang deficiency syndrome model
Kidney-yang deficiency syndrome causes hormonal imbalances and various physical symptoms.
research Endocrine Functions of the Testes
The testes produce important hormones like testosterone and others that play key roles in male body functions.
research The use of hair cortisol for the assessment of stress in animals
Hair cortisol is a reliable way to measure long-term stress in animals.
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 Male gonadal function in coeliac disease: 2. Sex hormones.
Men with coeliac disease may have hormone imbalances that could affect sexual function, but these can improve with better gut health.
research Physiology of Male Gonadotropic Axis and Disorders of Sex Development
Understanding genes and hormones is crucial for managing male puberty and sex development disorders.
research Modelling androgen synthesis and action during human sexual differentiation
Male sexual differentiation is regulated independently, while female differentiation occurs in an androgenic environment, affecting conditions like congenital adrenal hyperplasia.
research Paternal Finasteride Treatment Can Influence the Testicular Transcriptome Profile of Male Offspring—Preliminary Study
Father's finasteride use may affect son's fertility and testicular function.
research Estrogen-Dependent Ontogeny of Sex Differences in Somatostatin Neurons of the Hypothalamic Periventricular Nucleus*
Male rats have more somatostatin neurons than females due to testosterone converting to estrogen during early development.
research Baldness, acne and testicular germ cell tumours
Men with testicular cancer were less likely to experience baldness and severe acne.
research Baldness and testicular cancer: the EPSAM case-control study
Bald men may have a lower risk of testicular cancer.
research Pituitary-dependent hyperadrenocorticism in a shi tzu dog treated with twice-daily oral trilostane: a case report
A Shi Tzu dog with high cortisol levels improved after increasing the dose of trilostane.
