A three-month treatment with a GnRH agonist significantly lowered androgen levels and 5α-reductase activity in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia.
research ISID1342 – Spatial transcriptome profiling reveals TGFβ-2 in hair follicle progenitor cells is a potential driver of androgenetic alopecia
research The Aromatase Inhibitor Fadrozole and the 5-Reductase Inhibitor Finasteride Affect Gonadal Differentiation and Gene Expression in the Frog Silurana tropicalis
Fadrozole and Finasteride change frog sex ratios and cause intersex animals with altered gene expressions.
research Synthesis and Study of Some 17a-aza-D-homo Steroids as 5α-Reductase Inhibitors
The research found that compound 6, a newly created steroid, is more effective at inhibiting 5α-reductase (an enzyme) than current treatments, suggesting it could be a better option for treating urinary tract symptoms in men.
research Female Androgenic Alopecia
Women with low SHBG levels and a high 3a-diol G to SHBG ratio are likely to experience female pattern baldness, possibly due to a slight excess of androgens affecting sensitive hair bulbs.
research Endocrinology Overview RSS
The document explains how male reproductive hormones work and affect the body.
research Genetic regulation of the androgen receptor—A study of testicular feminization in the mouse
The study concludes that a genetic mutation in TFM mice leads to reduced androgen receptor activity, affecting the body's response to male hormones.
research In vivo and in vitro effect of novel 4,16-pregnadiene-6,20-dione derivatives, as 5α-reductase inhibitors
The new compounds may be more effective and cheaper than current treatments for conditions like baldness.
research Effect of 3-Beta Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase on Serum Testosterone Level in Obese Women With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
3βHSD2 is not useful for diagnosing PCOS.
research Single injection of very mild dose BOTOX in the vastus lateralis improves testicular spermatogenesis and sperm motility in ageing experimental mice
A small BOTOX dose improved sperm production and movement in older mice.
research Therapeutic potential of Ishophloroglucin a from Ishige okamurae in androgenic alopecia: inhibition of 5α-reductase activity and activation of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in human dermal papilla cells
Ishophloroglucin A from Ishige okamurae may be a natural alternative for treating hair loss by inhibiting 5α-reductase and promoting hair growth.
research Design, synthesis and structure-activity relationships studies on steroidal aromatase and 5α-reductase inhibitors as anti-tumors
Modified steroidal inhibitors showed promise in treating hormone-dependent cancers.
research Is dehydroepiandrosterone a hormone?
Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is a prohormone important for producing sex steroids and has potential health benefits.
research Crystal Structure and Synthesis of 17α-Acetoxy-pregn-4,6-diene-3,20-dione
The compound was successfully made and shows potential for treating prostate cancer.
research Why steroids may not always work in alopecia areata: elevated unoccupied glucocorticoid receptors and decreased levels of thioredoxin
Steroids may not work well for alopecia areata because of high unoccupied receptors and low thioredoxin levels.
research Abstract P5-09-21: Selective androgen receptor modulators (SARMs): Enobosarm as targeted therapy for the treatment of androgen receptor-positive breast cancer
Enobosarm may effectively treat androgen receptor-positive breast cancer with fewer side effects.
research Investigation, treatment and monitoring of late‐onset hypogonadism in males: ISA, ISSAM, and EAU recommendations
Testosterone treatment for older men can have short-term benefits, but long-term risks are unclear, requiring careful evaluation and monitoring.
research The latest options and future agents for treating male hypogonadism
New and future treatments for male hypogonadism include various forms of testosterone therapy and emerging drugs.
research Probing androgen receptor co-factor selectivity profiles: a chemical tool to determine cross-talk between androgen receptor and β-catenin in vivo
PF-05314882 selectively activates androgen receptors without much effect on prostate and may help in prostate cancer treatment and hair loss prevention.
research Respiratory regulation by steroids in newborn rats: a sex‐specific balance between allopregnanolone and progesterone receptors
Breathing in newborn rats is affected differently by hormones based on their sex.
research Highly efficient nucleophilic addition of alkyl Grignard reagents to 17-ketosteroids in the presence of cerium(III) chloride: Synthesis of 17α-propyl-17β-hydroxy-4-androsten-3-one, an androgen receptor antagonist
Adding cerium(III) chloride to Grignard reagents improves the making of compounds that could treat prostate issues and hair loss.
