research A phase IIA randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial to study the efficacy and safety of the selective androgen receptor modulator (SARM), MK-0773 in female participants with sarcopenia
MK-0773 safely increased muscle mass but did not improve muscle strength or function in elderly women with sarcopenia.
research Balding hair follicle dermal papilla cells contain higher levels of androgen receptors than those from non-balding scalp
Cells from balding scalps have more androgen receptors than cells from non-balding scalps.
research Therapeutic Androgen Receptor Ligands
Androgens and SARMs play a role in body mass, frailty, skin health, and hair growth, and are used in treating prostate cancer, acne, and hair loss, with potential for new uses and improved versions in the future.
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 Androgen Action in the Ovary
Androgens are important for normal ovarian function and estrogen production, but may not be the main cause of follicle death.
research Advances in male hormone substitution therapy
New treatments for low male hormones improved sexual function and mood but had unclear risks, especially for older men.
research Lean Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
PCOS in lean women is a serious health condition with implications beyond fertility, affecting metabolism and increasing cardiovascular disease risk.
research Off-Label Uses of Topical Vitamin D in Dermatology: A Systematic Review
Topical vitamin D is useful for some skin conditions but not effective for others, and more research is needed.
research TSPO activation modulates the effects of high pressure in a rat ex vivo glaucoma model
Activating TSPO helps protect the retina from damage caused by high eye pressure in glaucoma.
research Investigation of intermolecular interactions in finasteride drug crystals in view of X-ray and Hirshfeld surface analysis
Finasteride crystals are held together by hydrogen bonds and weak interactions, forming synthon pseudopolymorphs.
research Testicular Steroidogenesis
Genetic defects in testosterone production can cause hormonal and developmental disorders, and more research is needed to understand androgen regulation and develop safer treatments.
research Estrogen-Dependent Ontogeny of Sex Differences in Somatostatin Neurons of the Hypothalamic Periventricular Nucleus*
Male rats have more somatostatin neurons than females due to testosterone converting to estrogen during early development.
research Androgen receptor: A promising therapeutic target in breast cancer
The androgen receptor is a promising target for breast cancer treatment, especially in triple-negative cases, but more research is needed for personalized therapies.
research Role of cholesterol sulfate in epidermal structure and function: Lessons from X-linked ichthyosis
Cholesterol sulfate buildup due to a genetic mutation disrupts the skin barrier, leading to the scaling skin seen in X-linked ichthyosis.
research A Perspective on the Evolving Landscape in Male Reproductive Medicine
Advancements in male reproductive medicine are ongoing, but more research and improved treatments are needed in several areas.
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 Improving selective androgen receptor modulator discovery and preclinical evaluation
We need better ways to test and understand SARMs to make safer and more effective treatments.
research Comparative study of intralesional steroid versus intralesional vitamin D3 in patients with alopecia areata
Both steroid and vitamin D3 treatments are safe and effective for patchy alopecia areata, with steroids showing slightly better results.
research Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators (SARMs) Negatively Regulate Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Growth and Epithelial:Mesenchymal Stem Cell Signaling
SARMs may be an effective treatment for a certain type of breast cancer by blocking cancer growth and spread.
research Selective androgen receptor modulators (SARMs) have specific impacts on the mouse uterus
GTx-024 and Danazol affect the uterus like DHT, while GTx-007 has little impact.
research Innovative Reports on the Effects of Anabolic Androgenic Steroid Abuse—How to Lose Your Mind for the Love of Sport
Abusing steroids can damage your heart, muscles, reproductive system, liver, skin, and brain, and may increase the risk of Alzheimer's disease.
research Impacts of Anabolic-androgenic steroid supplementation on female health and offspring: Mechanisms, side effects, and medical perspectives
Anabolic-androgenic steroids can harm women's health and their offspring.
research Neurosteroids Are Endogenous Neuroprotectants in an Ex Vivo Glaucoma Model
A natural steroid in the body may protect against eye damage in glaucoma.
research Anabolic–Androgenic Steroids and Brain Damage: A Review of Evidence and Medico-Legal Implications
Anabolic-androgenic steroids can damage the brain, causing mood and cognitive problems.
research Structural Characterization and Ligand Specific Protein Interactions of Androgen Receptor
SARM-induced changes in the androgen receptor are specific to each ligand and affect stability and protein interactions.
research The selective androgen receptor modulator GTx‐024 (enobosarm) improves lean body mass and physical function in healthy elderly men and postmenopausal women: results of a double‐blind, placebo‐controlled phase II trial
Enobosarm significantly increased muscle mass and improved physical function in elderly men and postmenopausal women without serious side effects.
research Membrane androgen receptors may mediate androgen reinforcement
Androgen self-administration might be controlled by membrane receptors, not nuclear ones.
research Immuno-Endocrinology of COVID-19: The Key Role of Sex Hormones
