research Features of hyperandrogenism in men
Androgen levels can increase at any age, affecting symptoms like acne, hair loss, and prostate size.
research Transcriptomic analysis identifies regulators of the Wnt signalling and hypoxia-inducible factor pathways as possible mediators of androgenetic alopecia
research Adrenal steroid precursors exert potent androgenic action in the hamster sebaceous glands of flank organs and ears.
Certain adrenal hormones can strongly stimulate oil gland growth in hamster skin, similar to male hormones.
research Finasteride. Does it affect spermatogenesis and pregnancy?
research Serum Androgens and Genetic Linkage Analysis in Early Onset Androgenetic Alopecia
Early onset hair loss linked to genetics and androgen levels.
research Effects of lifelong testosterone exposure on health and disease using Mendelian randomization
Higher testosterone levels can increase the risk of certain diseases like type 2 diabetes in women and prostate cancer in men, but can also protect against autoimmune diseases and hair loss. It also affects body fat and bone density.
research Androgen-induced norepinephrine release in male accessory sex organ smooth muscle growth and differentiation
Androgens increase norepinephrine release, promoting smooth muscle growth in male sex organs, which may contribute to benign prostatic hypertrophy.
research Decision letter: Effects of lifelong testosterone exposure on health and disease using Mendelian randomization
Increased free testosterone can lead to stronger bones and less body fat but also higher risks of prostate cancer, hair loss, spine issues, and high blood pressure.
research Differential Diagnosis of Hyperandrogenism in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
The conclusion is that accurately identifying the cause of high androgen levels in women with PCOS is crucial and requires specific tests.
research [Endocrinologic diagnosis in hirsutism and androgenetic alopecia in women].
Hirsutism and androgenetic alopecia in women are often due to increased androgen effects, and antiandrogen treatment is recommended to prevent further issues.
research Finasteride delays the onset of maternal behavior in primigravid rats
Finasteride slows down motherly behavior in first-time pregnant rats.
research The Mossman–Pacey Paradox
Men using steroids or finasteride to look more attractive may harm their fertility and sexual function, creating a paradox where they seem fit but may be less able to reproduce.
research Progesterone-induced stimulation of mammary tumorigenesis is due to the progesterone metabolite, 5α-dihydroprogesterone (5αP) and can be suppressed by the 5α-reductase inhibitor, finasteride
Progesterone byproduct 5αP stimulates mammary tumor growth, but finasteride can suppress it.
research Serum and hair steroid profiles and their associations with body composition in adolescence.
Androgen levels are more linked to body size in boys than girls.
research Effects of neonatal and adolescent neuroactive steroid manipulation on locomotor activity induced by ethanol in male wistar rats
Changing neuroactive steroid levels early in life can affect how adult rats respond to alcohol's stimulating effects.
research An adolescent girl presenting with primary amenorrhea: A case report of complete androgen insensitivity syndrome
A 15-year-old girl with no menstrual period was diagnosed with a genetic condition that makes her body unable to respond to male hormones, leading to female characteristics despite having male genetic makeup.
research Effects of hormonal treatment on dermatological outcome in transgender people: a multicentric prospective study (ENIGI)
Hormonal treatments can change hair and skin in transgender people, but may not fully achieve desired results.
research Pharmacological Options for Treatment of Hyperandrogenic Disorders
Different drugs can treat high male hormone levels in women, but they have various effects and some may harm a fetus.
research Urinary Androgens Provide Additional Evidence Related to Metabolism and Are Correlated With Serum Androgens in Girls
The research found that measuring androgens in urine can give extra information about body metabolism and is linked to androgen levels in the blood, especially in young girls.
research Pregnancy and neonatal outcome with maternal exposure to finasteride: Case series
Exposure to the hair loss drug finasteride during pregnancy can cause genital anomalies in male babies, but not in female babies. It's best to avoid this drug in women who could potentially become pregnant.
research Finasteride use during pregnancy and early neonatal outcome: a case report
Baby born healthy despite mom taking finasteride, but more research needed.
research Testosterone, sex hormone-binding globulin and dehydroepiandrosterone levels and cervical length of Egyptian women with a history of recurrent miscarriages, polycystic ovary syndrome and without the conditions at three stages of pregnancy
High DHEA and short cervical length in women with PCOS and recurrent miscarriages may harm pregnancy outcomes.
research Six novel susceptibility Loci for early-onset androgenetic alopecia and their unexpected association with common diseases
Early-onset hair loss is linked to Parkinson's disease and decreased fertility.
research Physiology of Male Gonadotropic Axis and Disorders of Sex Development
Understanding genes and hormones is crucial for managing male puberty and sex development disorders.
research Epitestosterone—an endogenous antiandrogen?
Epitestosterone may act as a weak antiandrogen and can inhibit an enzyme involved in testosterone metabolism.
research Hyperandrogenism and insulin resistance modulate gravid uterine and placental ferroptosis in PCOS-like rats
Hyperandrogenism and insulin resistance in PCOS-like rats can lead to pregnancy complications due to increased cell death in the uterus and placenta.
research Steroidogenesis inhibitors alter but do not eliminate androgen synthesis mechanisms during progression to castration-resistance in LNCaP prostate xenografts
Steroidogenesis inhibitors change but don't stop androgen production in prostate cancer.
research SUN-118 A Case of Anastrozole Induced Hyperandrogenism
Anastrozole can cause increased testosterone, leading to symptoms like hair growth and thinning.
research Androgen receptors and their biology
Androgen receptors are key for development and health, affecting conditions like prostate cancer and male pattern baldness.
