research Weekly treatment with SAMiRNA targeting the androgen receptor ameliorates androgenetic alopecia
A new treatment called SAMiRNA-AR68 increases hair count in people with hair loss, showing similar results to existing treatments but without side effects.
research Is the “Comb Over” Dying? A Mouse Model for Male Pattern Baldness (Androgenic Alopecia)
The mouse model suggests male pattern baldness may be due to an enzyme increasing DHT and higher androgen receptor levels in hair follicles.
research Androgenic modulation of arterial baroreceptor dysfunction and neuroinflammation in endotoxic male rats
Testosterone affects blood pressure control and inflammation in male rats with endotoxic shock, and blocking certain hormones may help treat it.
research The effect of GGC and CAG repeat polymorphisms on the androgen receptor gene in response to finasteride therapy in men with androgenetic alopecia
Fewer GGC sequences in the androgen receptor gene improve finasteride treatment for hair loss.
research Androgenic Alopecia: Cross-Talk Between Cell Signal Transduction Pathways
Hair loss in Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is due to altered cell sensitivity to hormones, not increased hormone levels. Hair growth periods shorten over time, causing hair to become thinner and shorter. This is linked to miscommunication between cell pathways in hair follicles. There's also a change in gene expression related to blood vessels and cell growth in balding hair follicles. The exact molecular causes of AGA are still unclear.
research Androgen- and Estrogen-Secreting Adrenal Cancers
Rare adrenal cancers that secrete androgens or estrogens have a poor prognosis and are treated primarily with surgery.
research Chapter 23. Therapeutic Control of Androgen Action
Understanding how androgens work is key for creating new treatments for prostate issues and hair/skin conditions.
research Treatment of Female Androgenetic Alopecia With Cimetidine
A drug called cimetidine can help treat hair loss in women by blocking androgen receptors. However, it's not the first choice and needs more research.
research Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia: A Disorder of Androgen Metabolism in the Male
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia may be caused by changes in how the body processes male hormones.
research Pre-receptor regulation of the androgen receptor
Two enzymes regulate androgen receptor activity, affecting treatments for androgen insufficiency and benign prostatic hyperplasia.
research Body composition changes and inhibition of fat development in vivo implicates androgen in regulation of stem cell lineage allocation
Androgen is important in controlling stem cell differentiation, reducing fat development, and increasing lean mass.
research Regional Variation in Androgen Receptor Expression and Biomechanical Properties May Contribute to Cryptorchidism Susceptibility in the LE/orl Rat
Differences in androgen receptor expression and tissue properties may lead to higher cryptorchidism risk in certain rats.
research Exploring the Mechanism of Platycladi Cacumen in Intervening Androgenetic Alopecia Based on Network Pharmacology, Molecular Docking, and Molecular Dynamics Simulation
Platycladi Cacumen may help treat hair loss by targeting specific proteins and pathways.
research MECHANISM OF ACTION OF AVICENNIA MARINA HEARTWOOD EXTRACT AND AVICEQUINONE C ON HUMAN DERMAL PAPILLA CELLS ISOLATED FROM ANDROGENIC ALOPECIA PATIENTS
Avicennia Marina extract and avicequinone C can reduce hair loss hormone production and increase hair growth factors, suggesting they could be used to treat androgenic alopecia.
research Androgen Biosynthesis and Gene Defects
Gene mutations can cause problems in male genital development.
research 413 DC-HIL+ myeloid-derived suppressor cells are elevated in the peripheral blood and lesional skin of cutaneous lupus patients
Cutaneous lupus patients have higher levels of certain immune cells in their blood and skin.
research Human type 3 5α-reductase is expressed in peripheral tissues at higher levels than types 1 and 2 and its activity is potently inhibited by finasteride and dutasteride
Type 3 5α-reductase is more common and finasteride and dutasteride strongly inhibit it.
research Identification of two additional novel mutations in the AR gene associated with severe forms of androgen insensitivity syndrome
Two new mutations in the AR gene linked to severe androgen insensitivity were found.
research Intracrine androgen biosynthesis, metabolism and action revisited
The document concludes that blocking the internal pathways that create androgens might help treat cancers that depend on sex hormones.
research Emerging medication for the treatment of male hypogonadism
New treatments for male hypogonadism are effective and should be personalized.
research Skin manifestations of hyperandrogenism: an update
Targeting androgen receptors in the skin is the most effective treatment for hyperandrogenism-related skin issues.
research Pharmacology of anabolic steroids
Anabolic steroids can build muscle and strength but have risks and need more research on their clinical benefits and side effects.
research Regulatory roles of androgens in cutaneous wound healing
Testosterone may slow down wound healing and increase inflammation.
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 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 Hirsutism
Hirsutism is too much hair growth in women like the pattern in men, often caused by high male hormones, and can be treated with hormone control and hair removal methods.
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 Acupuncture in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: Potential and Challenge
Acupuncture may improve reproductive and metabolic functions in PCOS without negative side effects, but more research is needed to confirm its effectiveness.
