Research
180-210 / 1000+ results research More about X‐linked testicular feminization of the mouse as a noninducible (is) mutation of a regulatory locus: 5α‐androstan‐3α‐17ß‐diol as the true inducer of kidney alcohol dehydrogenase and ß‐glucuronidase
A specific metabolite, not a receptor protein, triggers the production of certain kidney enzymes, but this process is disrupted in mice with a mutation causing testicular feminization.
research THE FIBROBLAST AS A MODEL FOR ANDROGEN RESISTANT STATES
Fibroblasts help understand androgen resistance at the cellular level.
research Synthesis and structure–activity investigation of iodinated arylhydantoins and arylthiohydantoins for development as androgen receptor radioligands
Scientists created iodinated arylhydantoins and arylthiohydantoins that could potentially be used for imaging prostate cancer. Some versions with specific side-chains showed high potential for this use.
research Isosexual Precocious Pseudopuberty Secondary to a Testosterone-Secreting Leydig Cell Testicular Tumour: True Isosexual Development Early After Surgery*
A boy's early puberty caused by a testicular tumor returned to normal after surgery.
research Nipple Differentiation in Fetal Male Rats Treated with an Inhibitor of the Enzyme 5α-Reductase: Definition of a Selective Role for Dihydrotestosterone*
Blocking a specific enzyme in male rat fetuses leads to the development of nipples and feminized genitalia.
research Effects of androgen overproduction on skin target organs in children with congenital adrenal hyperplasia
research Epitestosterone—an endogenous antiandrogen?
Epitestosterone may act as a weak antiandrogen and can inhibit an enzyme involved in testosterone metabolism.
research Three-Month Treatment With a Long-Acting Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone Agonist of Patients With Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia: Effects on Tissue Androgen Concentration, 5α-Reductase Activity and Androgen Receptor Content*
A three-month treatment with a GnRH agonist significantly lowered androgen levels and 5α-reductase activity in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia.
research Modulation of Androgen Receptor Transcriptional Activity
Androgen receptor activity is influenced by hormones, co-factors, modifications, and mutations.
