330-360 / 1000+ results research Prevention and treatment of experimental prostate cancer in lobund-wistar rats. I. Effects of estradiol, dihydrotestosterone, and castration
Estradiol and castration reduced prostate cancer development in rats when applied at early stages, but were ineffective after cancer was established.
research Smart DNA biosensor for in vitro detection of androgen receptor mRNA
A new easy-to-use biosensor was made to detect androgen receptor mRNA, which could help diagnose related conditions quickly.
research Supplementary Material for: Dexamethasone, a synthetic glucocorticoid, induces the activity of androgen receptor in human dermal papilla cells
Dexamethasone increases androgen receptor activity in scalp cells, which might explain stress-related hair loss.
research 17α-Acetoxy-6-bromo-16β-methylpregna-4,6-diene-3,20-dione
A new compound with strong antiandrogenic effects was found, potentially useful for treating conditions like acne and prostate cancer.
research Supraphysiological Dose of Testosterone Impairs the Expression and Distribution of Sex Steroid Receptors during Endometrial Receptivity Development in Female Sprague–Dawley Rats
High doses of testosterone disrupt hormone levels and receptor expression in the uterus, affecting fertility.
research Clinical applications of antiandrogens
Antiandrogens are effective for conditions like prostate cancer and skin issues, but more research is needed to confirm their benefits and minimize side effects.
research Finasteride/testosterone
research Omega-6 highly unsaturated fatty acids in Leydig cells facilitate male sex hormone production
Omega-6 fats in certain cells boost male hormone production.
research Different synaptic stimulation patterns influence the local androgenic and estrogenic neurosteroid availability triggering hippocampal synaptic plasticity in the male rat
The availability of certain hormones and specific stimulation patterns affect long-term synaptic changes in the male rat brain.
research Androgens modulate keratinocyte differentiation indirectly through enhancing growth factor production from dermal fibroblasts
Male hormones indirectly affect skin cell development by increasing growth factor levels from skin fibroblasts.
research The association of cytosine-adenine-guanine repeat polymorphism in the androgen receptor gene with nodulocystic acne in Egyptian patients
Certain gene variations are linked to severe acne in Egyptian patients and could guide treatment choices.
research Redefining hormone resistance in prostate cancer
The conclusion suggests that prostate cancer should be classified by castration status and that new therapies targeting androgen receptor signaling show promise.
research The efficacy of an adjuvant norethisterone (jenapharm) therapy in endometrial cancer
Norethisterone (jenapharm) therapy is effective for endometrial cancer.
research Leydig cell ovarian tumour: a rare cause of hyperandrogenism
Leydig cell tumors can cause high testosterone in women and are treated by removing the ovaries.
research Hormonal profile and androgen receptor study in prepubertal girls with hypertrichosis
Prepubertal girls with hypertrichosis have more sensitive androgen receptors, leading to increased body hair growth.
research Ornithine decarboxylase is upregulated by the androgen receptor in skeletal muscle and regulates myoblast proliferation
Androgens increase muscle mass by promoting myoblast growth through ornithine decarboxylase.
research Cytologic atypia in a 53-year-old man with finasteride-induced gynecomastia.
research Characteristics of flutamide action on prostatic and testicular functions in the rat
Flutamide combined with an LHRH agonist effectively inhibits prostate growth, suggesting it could treat prostate cancer.
research Steroid Cell Tumours: Rare Ovarian Tumours that Cause Hyperandrogenaemia in Postmenopausal Women
Rare ovarian tumors can cause increased male hormones in postmenopausal women; surgery is an effective treatment.
research Effects of Gonadal Steroids on Melanocytes in Developing Hamsters
Androgens increase pigmentation in young hamsters, but estrogens can reverse this effect.
research SAT-223 Insights into Ovarian Hyperandrogenism: Lessons from Two Unusual Cases
The study found that imaging might miss small ovarian tumors causing high testosterone, and suggested using certain testosterone levels and treatment responses to identify these tumors.
research Apparent Cortisone Reductase Deficiency: A Rare Cause of Hyperandrogenemia and Hypercortisolism
Cortisone reductase deficiency can cause high androgen and cortisol levels and may be missed in women with similar symptoms.
