5-Alpha reductase inhibitors help treat enlarged prostate but may cause sexual side effects.
research 5α-Reductase: History and Clinical Importance
5α-reductase inhibitors like finasteride and dutasteride effectively treat BPH by reducing DHT levels.
research 5α-Reductase inhibitors alter steroid metabolism and may contribute to insulin resistance, diabetes, metabolic syndrome and vascular disease: a medical hypothesis
Some hair loss and prostate drugs might increase the risk of diabetes and heart disease.
research Virilizing adrenocortical oncocytoma in a toddler
A toddler with a rare adrenal gland tumor causing male-like physical changes was successfully treated with surgery.
research Minoxidil and male-pattern alopecia: a potential role for a local regulator of sebum secretion with vasoconstrictive effects?
Minoxidil, a common hair loss treatment, might work by counteracting a hormone that reduces hair growth and promotes hair loss.
research Assessment of Circulating Sex Steroid Levels in Prepubertal and Pubertal Boys and Girls by a Novel Ultrasensitive Gas Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry Method
Prepubertal girls have higher sex steroid levels than boys, possibly leading to earlier puberty.
research METABOLISM AND ACTION OF ANDROGEN IN THE SKIN
Androgens affect skin conditions like acne and hair loss through specific biochemical pathways.
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 Current understanding and treatment of sex hormone-related hair diseases
Sex hormones affect hair growth and loss, and treatments for related hair diseases include various medications, hair transplantation, and light therapy.
research The Rise in Adrenal Androgen Biosynthesis: Adrenarche
Adrenarche increases adrenal androgens around age 6, affecting hair growth and development.
research Behandlung mit Antiandrogenen in der Gynäkologie
Antiandrogen treatments can help with various women's health issues but often require ongoing use.
research Mechanisms that regulate androgen receptor transcriptional activity
DHT enhances androgen receptor activity more than testosterone, and MAGE-11 influences this activity through specific interactions.
research The Effects of Single Testosterone Administration and Stress Induction on Steroid Hormone Levels in Hair
Testosterone increases hair testosterone levels, stress raises hair cortisol, and relationship status affects hormone levels.
research Androgenic Hormone Profile of Adult Women with Acne
Over half of the adult women with acne in the study had higher than normal levels of male hormones, especially DHEA.
research Relationship of androgens to female hirsutism and infertility.
High androgen levels often cause female hirsutism and infertility.
research Male androgenetic alopecia
Male pattern baldness is mainly caused by genetics and hormones, treatable with minoxidil and finasteride.
research Anti-Müllerian Hormone and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome in Women and Its Male Equivalent
High AMH levels are linked to PCOS in women and may have a male equivalent with similar traits.
research Androgens induce sebaceous differentiation in sebocyte cells expressing a stable functional androgen receptor
Androgens cause oil-producing skin cells with androgen receptors to mature and produce more oil.
research [Long-term treatment of virilized women with cyproterone acetate (author's transl)].
Cyproterone acetate effectively treats virilized women, especially under 35, despite some side effects.
research Three cases of androgen‐dependent disease associated with myotonic dystrophy
Women with myotonic dystrophy might get diseases related to male hormones because their body tissues are extra sensitive to these hormones.
research Change in hair growth-related gene expression profile in human isolated hair follicles induced by 5-alpha reductase inhibitors – dutasteride and finasteride – in the presence of testosterone
Dutasteride and finasteride can help increase hair growth gene expression but need further improvement.
research 17 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 3 deficiency in the Mediterranean population.
A genetic defect causes males in some Mediterranean populations to be born with ambiguous genitalia and develop male traits at puberty.
research ST008 Male androgenetic alopecia: A new treatment paradigm
New treatment improves male hair loss.
research Phosphodiesterase inhibitors used in androgenic alopecia as a possible risk factor for testicular tumor
research Molecular mechanisms of androgen receptor functions
Androgen receptors play a key role in male development and prostate cancer, with treatments targeting androgen action.
research Circulating androgen levels before and after oophorectomy in premenopausal and postmenopausal women
Oophorectomy lowers testosterone and estrogen levels in both premenopausal and postmenopausal women, with postmenopausal women still producing significant testosterone.
research Sex Hormones in COVID-19 Severity: The Quest for Evidence and Influence Mechanisms
Sex hormones may affect COVID-19 severity and outcomes.
research Androgenic and anti-androgenic effects of progesterone derivatives with different halogens as substituents at the C-6 position
Different halogens on progesterone derivatives can either block or mimic male hormone effects, depending on their type and amount.
research Safety of testosterone treatment in postmenopausal women
Testosterone therapy seems safe for postmenopausal women for a few years, but more research is needed for long-term effects.
