Research
120-150 / 1000+ resultsresearch Sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) and androgen levels in women with androgenetic alopecia
The T/SHBG ratio may be a useful marker for androgen activity in women with androgenetic alopecia.
research Advances in hair growth
The best long-lasting results in treating hair loss may be achieved through combination therapy, including treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and platelet-rich plasma injections.
research Dihydrotestosteron und die Rolle der 5α-Reduktasehemmer bei der benignen Prostatahyperplasie
A stronger dual 5α-reductase inhibitor could improve treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia by further reducing DHT levels.
research Gender Differences in the Regulation of Blood Pressure
Men generally have higher blood pressure than premenopausal women, but postmenopausal women's blood pressure can surpass men's, and hormone therapy doesn't significantly help.
research Elevated Free Testosterone Levels in Women With Acne
Some women with acne have higher levels of free testosterone, which might suggest using hormonal treatments for acne.
research A novel finasteride 0.25% topical solution for androgenetic alopecia: pharmacokinetics and effects on plasma androgen levels in healthy male volunteers
New finasteride solution effectively reduces baldness-causing hormone, potentially with fewer side effects.
research Safety of testosterone use in women
Short-term testosterone therapy in women seems safe with few mild side effects, but long-term effects need more research.
research Finasteride, not tamsulosin, increases severity of erectile dysfunction and decreases testosterone levels in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia
Finasteride worsens erectile dysfunction and lowers testosterone in men with enlarged prostates, unlike tamsulosin.
research Plasma androsterone/epiandrosterone sulfates as markers of 5α-reductase activity: Effect of finasteride in normal men
Finasteride effectively lowers specific hormone levels, helping monitor treatment progress.
research Higher plasma leptin is associated with higher risk of androgenetic alopecia in men
More plasma leptin means higher baldness risk in men.
research Effect of Testosterone, Dihydrotestosterone, Estradiol and Cortisol on the Quality of Fresh and Cryopreserved Stallion Sperm
Higher testosterone harms sperm motility, while higher estradiol improves sperm survival.
research Testosterone-like immunoreactivity in hair measured in minute sample amounts - a competitive radioimmunoassay with an adequate limit of detection
The new test can measure very small amounts of testosterone in hair, and grinding the hair up first gives more accurate results.
research Exogenous testosterone, finasteride and castration effects on testosterone, insulin, zinc and chromium in adult male rats.
Testosterone and finasteride raise insulin and zinc, lower chromium in male rats.
research Testosterone and doping control
The document concludes that better biomarkers are needed to detect long-term oral testosterone use in athletes.
research Neuroactive Steroid Levels are Modified in Cerebrospinal Fluid and Plasma of Post‐Finasteride Patients Showing Persistent Sexual Side Effects and Anxious/Depressive Symptomatology
Finasteride use changes brain chemicals, causing lasting sexual issues and anxiety/depression.
research Potential adverse effects of long-term testosterone therapy
Long-term testosterone therapy can cause hormone suppression, affect prostate and heart health, and alter physical characteristics, but does not increase prostate cancer risk and needs more research for full risk assessment.
research The Effect of Plasma Rich in Growth Factors on Pattern Hair Loss: A Pilot Study
Treatment with plasma rich in growth factors improved hair density and thickness for hair loss patients.
research Patients treated for male pattern hair with finasteride show, after discontinuation of the drug, altered levels of neuroactive steroids in cerebrospinal fluid and plasma
Finasteride affects brain and blood steroids, causing lasting sexual and emotional side effects.
research Picogram determination of finasteride in human plasma and semen by high-performance liquid chromatography with atmospheric-pressure chemical-ionization tandem mass spectrometry
Method detects finasteride in plasma and semen with high sensitivity and accuracy.
research Management of androgenetic alopecia: a comparative clinical study between plasma rich in growth factors and topical minoxidil
PRGF treatment is safer and more effective for hair loss than topical minoxidil.
research Modulating testosterone pathway: a new strategy to tackle male skin aging?
Honokiol might help reduce male skin aging by maintaining testosterone levels.
research Safety of testosterone treatment in postmenopausal women
Testosterone therapy seems safe for postmenopausal women for a few years, but more research is needed for long-term effects.
research Testosterone therapy for sexual dysfunction in postmenopausal women
Testosterone therapy can help improve sexual desire and function in postmenopausal women but may cause side effects and is not FDA-approved for this use.
research The rationale for physiological testosterone replacement in women
Testosterone replacement may help post-menopausal women with androgen insufficiency, but more research is needed on its benefits and risks.
research Prescribing testosterone and DHEA: The role of androgens in women
Testosterone and DHEA can benefit women's health but must be prescribed carefully due to potential risks.
research Improvement in scalp hair growth in androgen‐deficient women treated with testosterone: a questionnaire study
