research Modelling androgen synthesis and action during human sexual differentiation
Male sexual differentiation is regulated independently, while female differentiation occurs in an androgenic environment, affecting conditions like congenital adrenal hyperplasia.
research Androgen Biosynthesis and Gene Defects
Gene mutations can cause problems in male genital development.
research Regulation of masculinization: androgen signalling for external genitalia development
Male genital development is driven by androgen signaling and understanding it could help address congenital anomalies.
research Disorders linked to insufficient androgen action in male children
Insufficient androgen action in male fetuses can cause genital development issues due to genetic mutations or environmental chemicals.
research Biochemical examination of fetal skin biopsy specimens obtained by fetoscopy: Use of the method for analysis of keratins and filaggrin
Fetal skin biopsy can help diagnose protein-related disorders before birth.
research The Rise in Adrenal Androgen Biosynthesis: Adrenarche
Adrenarche increases adrenal androgens around age 6, affecting hair growth and development.
research Androgens
research Steroidogenesis of the testis – new genes and pathways
New genes and pathways are important for testosterone production and male sexual development.
research Systematic analyses of murine masculinization processes based on genital sex differentiation parameters
DHT is crucial for urethral formation, and its disruption can affect masculinization and lead to hypospadias.
research AN ATTEMPT TO ASSESS THE MAGNITUDE OF ENDOGENOUS ANDROGEN PRODUCTION IN A CASE OF THE ADRENOGENITAL SYNDROME*
A 17-year-old female with adrenogenital syndrome produces very high levels of androgens, which prevent complete feminization despite high estrogen doses.
research MALE PSEUDOHERMAPHRODITISM DUE TO 17β-HYDROXYSTEROID DEHYDROGENASE DEFICIENCY: STUDIES ON THE NATURAL HISTORY OF THE DEFECT AND EFFECT OF ANDROGENS ON GENDER ROLE
Masculinization in affected individuals occurs gradually after puberty due to hormone changes.
research Serum Androgens in Normal Prepubertal and Pubertal Children and in Children with Precocious Adrenarche
Androgen levels increase with puberty and are linked to sexual hair development.
research Nipple Differentiation in Fetal Male Rats Treated with an Inhibitor of the Enzyme 5α-Reductase: Definition of a Selective Role for Dihydrotestosterone*
Blocking a specific enzyme in male rat fetuses leads to the development of nipples and feminized genitalia.
research Distinct Transcriptional Profiles of the Female, Male, and Finasteride-Induced Feminized Male Anogenital Region in Rat Fetuses
Finasteride exposure affects gene expression and anogenital distance in male rat fetuses.
research Male pseudohermaphroditism due to 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase deficiency: Studies on the natural history of the defect and effect of androgens on gender role
Individuals with this condition often develop male traits and identities at puberty despite being raised as females.
research Defects in Androgen Biosynthesis Causing 46,XY Disorders of Sexual Development
Genetic defects in androgen production are linked to male developmental disorders and are improving treatment understanding.
research Effects of androgen overproduction on skin target organs in children with congenital adrenal hyperplasia
research Steroid 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase deficiency in man: An inherited form of male pseudohermaphroditism
Affected males are born with ambiguous genitalia, raised as females, but develop male traits at puberty due to enzyme deficiency.
research Anogenital distance as a biomarker for incomplete masculinization : Molecular mechanisms in the perineum
A short male anogenital distance may indicate incomplete masculinization due to disrupted androgen action.
research Studies on changes in the concentration of serum adrenal androgens in pubertal twins
Adrenal androgens are important for puberty and are influenced by genetics.
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 Organizational Effects of Estrogens and Androgens on Estrogen and Androgen Receptor Expression in Pituitary and Adrenal Glands in Adult Male and Female Rats
Early hormones shape sex-specific differences in rat glands.
research Effects of Testosterone on the Expression of Connexin 26 and Connexin 43 in the Uterus of Rats During Early Pregnancy
Testosterone changes important cell communication proteins in pregnant rats' uteruses, which might affect pregnancy success.
research Sexual steroid regulation of spermatogenesis: new actors enter the stage
Estrogens and androgens are crucial for male fertility.
research Early androgen activity after birth determines the hypothalamic expression of androgen and estrogen receptors in adulthood in female but not in male rats
Early androgen exposure affects hormone receptor expression in adult female rats' brains, but not in males.
research Disorders linked to insufficient androgen action in male children
Male children's genital development issues can be caused by genetic mutations or environmental factors affecting hormone action.
research Effects of in Utero Exposure to Finasteride on Androgen-Dependent Reproductive Development in the Male Rat
Exposure to finasteride in the womb caused lasting reproductive issues in male rats.
research The Effect of Perinatal Blockade of Androgen Receptors on the Expression of Hypothalamic Estrogen Receptor‐a and Sexual Motivation in Male Rats
Blocking androgen receptors early in life increases estrogen levels and reduces sexual motivation in male rats.
research Social selection favours offspring prone to the development of androgenetic alopecia.
Society's pressure to have children later in life favors genes that increase the risk of early baldness in male offspring.
