Treatment during development affects hormone balance and sexual behavior in male rats.
research Ovarian hormones and adrenal androgens during a woman's life span
Women's ovarian hormones and adrenal androgens change throughout life, affecting hair loss and health.

Finasteride safely lowers DHT levels without affecting testosterone.
research The Androgen Excess and PCOS Society criteria for the polycystic ovary syndrome: the complete task force report
The report concludes that PCOS is mainly a condition of excess male hormones and its definition may change as new information is discovered.
research American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists, American College of Endocrinology, and Androgen Excess and PCOS Society Disease State Clinical Review: Guide to the Best Practices in the Evaluation and Treatment of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome - Part 1
The guide recommends specific methods for diagnosing PCOS and various treatments for its symptoms, while considering the health impacts on adolescents.
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.
research Minoxidil is a potential neuroprotective drug for paclitaxel-induced peripheral neuropathy
Minoxidil may protect nerves and improve hair quality during paclitaxel treatment.
research Additive in vivo growth-inhibitory effects of flutamide and finasteride on androgen-sensitive Shionogi 115 carcinoma
Combining flutamide and finasteride can reduce prostate weight and tumor growth, potentially benefiting treatments needing optimal DHT inhibition.
research The Interrelation Between Hirsutism and Androgen Hormone Levels as Well as Serum TNFΑ Concentrations
High androgen levels can cause hirsutism and increase inflammation.
research Bicalutamide does not raise transaminases in comparison to alternative anti-androgen regimens among transfeminine adolescents and young adults: a retrospective cohort study
Bicalutamide does not significantly affect liver enzymes and is a safe anti-androgen option for transfeminine individuals.
research Androgen excess is the key element in polycystic ovary syndrome
Too much male hormone is the main cause of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.
research Recent advances in the molecular mechanisms determining tissue sensitivity to glucocorticoids: novel mutations, circadian rhythm and ligand-induced repression of the human glucocorticoid receptor
New findings explain how genetic changes, body clocks, and certain molecules affect tissue response to stress hormones.
research Thyroxine Differentially Modulates the Peripheral Clock: Lessons from the Human Hair Follicle
Thyroxine can adjust the body's peripheral clock, potentially helping treat clock-related diseases.
research AKR1D1 regulates glucocorticoid availability and glucocorticoid receptor activation in human hepatoma cells
AKR1D1 controls glucocorticoid levels and receptor activity in liver cells.
research 195 Androgen action and 3D culture conditions influence dermal papilla cells inductive properties: the role of Wnt agonists/antagonists balance
DHT reduces a cell's ability to promote hair growth, while 3D culture without DHT improves it.
research Regulation of Receptor Binding Specificity of FGF9 by an Autoinhibitory Homodimerization
FGF9 controls which receptors it binds to through a process where two FGF9 molecules join, and changes in FGF9 can lead to incorrect receptor activation.
