180-210 / 1000+ results research Synthesis, Characterization and Evaluation of 5α, 6β-Dihalo Androsterone Derivatives as 5α-Reductase Inhibitors
Compound 7b is a promising candidate for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostate cancer.
research Nuclear and cytosol Androgen Receptor in Androgen Dependent Dermatoses in Female Patients
Nuclear AR levels give better insight into hormone effects in skin conditions.
research New Progesterone Esters as 5.ALPHA.-Reductase Inhibitors.
Some new progesterone derivatives are better at blocking testosterone conversion than a common drug.
research 1407 ANDROGENETIC ALOPECIA, PROSTATE VOLUME AND URINARY SYMPTOMS. IS THERE A RELATIONSHIP? A CASE-CONTROL STUDY
Hair loss, prostate size, and urinary issues are related due to androgen effects.
research [Hormone studies in androgenetic alopecia in the female].
research Androgen Biosynthesis Inhibitors and Androgen Receptor Antagonists
Anti-androgen drugs can treat conditions like prostate cancer and male pattern baldness by blocking effects of testosterone and DHT.
research Patterns of ovarian morphology in polycystic ovary syndrome: a study utilising magnetic resonance imaging
The study found that women with PCOS have more and larger ovarian follicles and differences in ovarian structure, but these features alone can't always diagnose PCOS.
research Insulin resistance and its relationship with high molecular weight adiponectin in adolescents with polycystic ovary syndrome and a maternal history of polycystic ovary syndrome
Teens with PCOS and a mom with PCOS have higher insulin resistance and lower adiponectin levels, which could signal early metabolic problems.
research Divergences in insulin resistance between the different phenotypes of the polycystic ovary syndrome
Different types of polycystic ovary syndrome show varying levels of insulin resistance, with the 'PHO' type being the most insulin resistant.
research Silencing the androgen receptor: New skills for antiandrogen oligonucleotide skin and hair therapy
Targeting androgen receptors with antiandrogen oligonucleotides could effectively treat hair loss.
research Clinical and Biochemical Parameters of Androgen Action in Normal Healthy CaucasianVersusChinese Subjects
Caucasian men have more chest hair and higher levels of certain androgen products than Chinese men.
research Postmenopausal hyperandrogenism due to an ovarian sex cord-stromal tumour causing elevated dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate: a case report
An ovarian tumor can cause high male hormones in postmenopausal women.
research The evaluation and treatment of androgen excess
High androgen levels can cause excessive hair growth and may indicate serious health issues, including heart disease and fertility problems.
research How should postmenopausal androgen excess be evaluated?
Evaluate postmenopausal women with high androgen levels using medical history, physical exams, lab tests, and imaging to manage health risks.
research A rare cause of postmenopausal hyperandrogenism
A 71-year-old woman developed male-like features due to high testosterone levels caused by a benign ovarian tumor, which was successfully removed by surgery.
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 Novel inhibitors of 5α-reductase
New research is needed to create better drugs that block the enzyme responsible for conditions like male baldness and prostate enlargement.
research Iatrogenic androgenetic alopecia in a male phenotype 46XX true hermaphrodite
Hormone treatment caused hair loss, finasteride helped regrowth.
research ST008 Male androgenetic alopecia: A new treatment paradigm
New treatment improves male hair loss.
research Higher Levels of Steroidogenic Acute Regulatory Protein and Type I 3β-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase in the Scalp of Men with Androgenetic Alopecia
Men with baldness have higher levels of specific proteins, suggesting local hormone production may play a role in hair loss.
research The Role of Androgens in Health and Disease in Females: A Narratıve Review
Androgens affect many aspects of female health, and more research is needed to understand their roles and treatment potential.
research [Hirsutism and hypertrichosis in adults: investigations and treatment].
The document concludes that treatment for excessive hair growth depends on the cause, with options including hair removal methods and medications like anti-androgens or insulin-sensitizing drugs.
research Testosterone metabolite nonessential for androgen effects
The body's change of testosterone into DHT is not necessary for testosterone's muscle and sexual effects.
research Metabolism of androgens by isolated human hair follicles
Beard hair follicles convert testosterone to 5α-dihydrotestosterone most intensively.
research [Hirsutism].
Hirsutism is excessive male-pattern hair growth mainly caused by ovarian hormones, and severe cases may require costly treatment with side effects.
research [Hormonal profile in men with premature androgenic alopecia].
Early balding in men might be a male hormonal equivalent of polycystic ovaries syndrome in women.
