research Mechanism of action of bolandiol (19-nortestosterone-3β,17β-diol), a unique anabolic steroid with androgenic, estrogenic, and progestational activities
Bolandiol, a synthetic steroid, builds muscle and bone without greatly affecting sex glands, and works differently from other hormones.
research Oxidative Stress–Associated Senescence in Dermal Papilla Cells of Men with Androgenetic Alopecia
Oxidative stress affects hair loss in men with androgenetic alopecia.
research The Impact of Glucagon-like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonists on Erectile Function: Friend or Foe?
The effect of GLP-1 RAs on erectile function is unclear and needs more research.
research Testosterone Reduces Tight Junction Complexity and Down-regulates Expression of Claudin-4 and Occludin in the Endometrium in Ovariectomized, Sex-steroid Replacement Rats
Testosterone makes the connections in the uterus lining simpler and lowers certain protein levels, which might lead to infertility.
research 11β-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 inhibitors for the treatment of type 2 diabetes
Inhibitors of 11β-HSD1 show potential for treating type 2 diabetes but require more testing for safety and effectiveness.
research Sub-chronic testosterone treatment increases the levels of epithelial sodium channel (ENaC)-α,βandγin the kidney of orchidectomized adult male Sprague–Dawley rats
Testosterone increases certain kidney protein levels, potentially raising blood pressure.
research Prostaglandin D2-Mediated DP2 and AKT Signal Regulate the Activation of Androgen Receptors in Human Dermal Papilla Cells
PGD2 increases androgen receptor activity in hair cells, which could be targeted to treat hair loss.
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 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 The involvement of androgens in human hair growth
Androgens play a key role in hair growth and disorders like baldness and excessive hairiness.
research Androgen receptor gene polymorphism and biological age markers in men
AR gene variations don't affect aging markers in men.
research Androgen receptor gene polymorphisms and risk for androgenetic alopecia: a meta-analysis
G allele of AR Stul polymorphism linked to higher hair loss risk, especially in white people.

Some patients taking finasteride or dutasteride may have ongoing sexual problems and depression even after stopping the medication.
research Androgen excess: a hallmark of polycystic ovary syndrome
Excess androgens may cause PCOS, not just be a symptom.
research Androgens modulate keratinocyte differentiation indirectly through enhancing growth factor production from dermal fibroblasts
Male hormones indirectly affect skin cell development by increasing growth factor levels from skin fibroblasts.
research Intrinsic versus Extrinsic Aging: A Histopathological, Morphometric and Immunohistochemical Study of Estrogen Receptor β and Androgen Receptor
The study concluded that both estrogen and androgen receptors, which decrease with age, are linked to skin aging and may be hormonally regulated.
research Relationship Between Androgen Levels and Blood Pressure in Young Women With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
High androgen levels in young women with PCOS are linked to higher blood pressure.
research Androgen Dependence of Hirsutism, Acne, and Alopecia in Women
Hirsutism is more linked to high androgen levels than acne or hair loss, and a mix of hormonal tests is best for diagnosis; certain treatments can reduce symptoms.

The document concludes that targeting the androgen receptor may be a promising breast cancer treatment, especially for certain types.
research Review of the effects of 17α-estradiol in humans: a less feminizing estrogen with neuroprotective potential
17α-estradiol is a safe estrogen that might protect the brain and doesn't cause feminization, needing more research for treating brain diseases.
research Effect of estrogens on skin aging and the potential role of SERMs
Estrogens help reduce skin aging, and SERMs might offer similar benefits without the risks of hormone therapy.
research Androgen excess: Investigations and management
The conclusion is that managing androgen excess requires long-term treatment, including hormonal contraceptives and androgen blockers, with follow-up after six months.
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.
