research A Comparison of the Hormonal Profile of Early Androgenetic Alopecia in Men With the Phenotypic Equivalent of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome in Women
Men with early hair loss have similar hormone levels to women with PCOS, possibly increasing risk of obesity and heart issues.
research Negative Impact of Testosterone Deficiency and 5α-Reductase Inhibitors Therapy on Metabolic and Sexual Function in Men
Low testosterone and 5α-reductase inhibitors can harm men's metabolic and sexual health; testosterone therapy may help, but discussing 5α-RIs' side effects is important.
research Apparent Hyperandrogenemia Due to Immunoassay Interference Resolved by Liquid Chromatography–Tandem Mass Spectrometry
False high testosterone levels were corrected using a more accurate test.
research Risk factors and lipid metabolism characteristics of early‐onset male androgenetic alopecia: A pilot study
Low HDL-C, uric acid, and 25-hydroxyvitamin D are risk factors for early-onset male hair loss.
research GC-MS determination of steroids related to androgen biosynthesis in human hair with pentafluorophenyldimethylsilyl–trimethylsilyl derivatisation
The method accurately measures certain steroids in human hair, showing different levels in males and females.
research In-vivo uptake and metabolism of testosterone by the skin and other tissues of the rat
Rat skin takes up and processes testosterone differently than other organs, with testosterone being more important for the skin than its metabolite 5α-DHT.
research 53039 The prevalence of androgenetic alopecia with hormone therapy in transgender men: a systematic review and single-arm meta-analysis
Many transgender men on testosterone therapy experience hair loss.
research EFFECTS OF ADRENOCORTICOTROPIC HORMONE ON BODY GROWTH, VISCERAL PROPORTIONS, AND WHITE BLOOD CELL COUNTS OF NORMAL AND HYPOPHYSECTOMIZED MALE RATS
Adrenocorticotropic hormone inhibits growth and affects body composition in male rats.
research Ratio of ovarian stroma and total ovarian area by ultrasound in prediction of hyperandrogenemia in reproductive-aged Thai women with polycystic ovary syndrome: A diagnostic test
Ultrasound measurement of the ovarian stroma to total area ratio is not a reliable single predictor of high male hormone levels in Thai women with PCOS, but works better when combined with clinical signs.
research Medical consequences of long-term anabolic-androgenic Steroids (AASs) abuses in athletes
Long-term steroid abuse in athletes causes serious health risks, outweighing any benefits.
research Homology Modeling of 5-alpha-Reductase 2 Using Available Experimental Data
Accurate protein modeling can help develop new treatments for prostate cancer and other diseases.
research The dihydrotestosterone (DHT) hypothesis of prostate cancer and its therapeutic implications
The document suggests that targeting the hormone DHT could be a more effective treatment for prostate cancer than targeting testosterone.
research Urinary Androgens Provide Additional Evidence Related to Metabolism and Are Correlated With Serum Androgens in Girls
The research found that measuring androgens in urine can give extra information about body metabolism and is linked to androgen levels in the blood, especially in young girls.
research The Mossman–Pacey Paradox
Men using steroids or finasteride to look more attractive may harm their fertility and sexual function, creating a paradox where they seem fit but may be less able to reproduce.
research Tissue-Selective Regulation of Androgen-Responsive Genes
The same hormone can affect gene expression differently in various tissues, which could lead to new treatments for conditions like hair loss.
research 9 Role of 5α-reductase in health and disease
5α-reductase is essential for male sexual development and its inhibitors have potential in treating various conditions related to hormone action.
research Androgen Receptor Mutations and Polymorphisms in African American Prostate Cancer
African American men with prostate cancer have more androgen receptor mutations, which may lead to more aggressive cancer compared to Caucasian American men.
research Serum androgen bioactivity is low in children with premature adrenarche
research Androgen Profiling by Liquid Chromatography–Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) in Healthy Normal-Weight Ovulatory and Anovulatory Late Adolescent and Young Women
The research found that anovulatory young women have higher androgen and hormone levels than those who ovulate, suggesting immature hormonal regulation rather than a specific condition.
research Testosterone up-regulates vacuolar ATPase expression and functional activities in vas deferens of orchidectomized rats
Testosterone increases acidification in the vas deferens by up-regulating V-ATPase.
research Patient reported androgen driven phenotypes do not associate with biochemical recurrence after radical prostatectomy
Androgen-driven traits don't predict prostate cancer recurrence.
research PLASMA TESTOSTERONE GLUCOSIDURONATE: A RELIABLE INDICATOR OF FEMALE HYPERANDROGENISM (IDIOPATHIC HIRSUTISM AND ANDROGENIC ALOPECIA)
Measuring plasma testosterone glucosiduronate is a reliable way to detect high male hormone levels in women.
research Anabolic and Metabolic Effects of Testosterone and Other Androgens: Direct Effects and Role of Testosterone Metabolic Products
Testosterone and its metabolites have varied effects on different body systems, especially during puberty.
research Second to Fourth Digit Ratio in Patients with Hirsutism and Its Correlation with Hormonal Assay
Finger length ratio is not linked to hirsutism or hormone levels.
research Analysis Polymorphism of Androgen Receptor in Cases of Androgenetic Alopecia
Shorter GGN repeats in the androgen receptor gene are linked to androgenetic alopecia.
research Metastatic Embryonal Cell Carcinoma with High Testosterone and Absence of Secondary Sexual Characteristics
Treatment restored normal sexual characteristics and blood condition in a patient with testicular cancer.
research Indirect clinical markers for the detection of anabolic steroid abuse beyond the conventional doping control in athletes
New signs like changes in blood markers, physical symptoms, and behavioral shifts may help detect hidden steroid use in athletes.

No consistent link between genotype and phenotype in 5-α-Reductase type 2 deficiency.
research Structural perspectives on the androgen receptor, the elusive shape-shifter
The androgen receptor's shape-changing ability helps it function but can lead to cancer treatment resistance.
