Research
300-330 / 1000+ results research Changes in expression of the δ subunit of the GABAAreceptor and in receptor function induced by progesterone exposure and withdrawal
Progesterone affects GABAA receptor function by altering δ subunit levels.
research The Role of Non-Aromatizable Testosterone Metabolite in Metabolic Pathways
Normal levels of DHT can reduce belly fat and increase muscle, but too much can lead to hair loss, prostate issues, and possibly heart disease.
research 5α-Metabolism in Finasteride-Treated Subjects and Male Pseudohermaphrodites with Inherited 5α-Reductase Deficiency
Finasteride lowers DHT levels and raises testosterone in a dose-dependent way.
research Anabolic effect of dihydrotestosterone in testicular feminization syndrome
Dihydrotestosterone has a reduced effect on muscle-building in people with testicular feminization syndrome, especially after their gonads are removed.
research Consequences of steroid-5α-reductase deficiency and inhibition in vertebrates
Lack or blocking of SRD5a, a key component in hormone creation, can lead to conditions like pseudohermaphrodism and affect hair growth, bone mass, muscle strength, and reproductive health. More research is needed on its regulation from fertilization to adulthood.
research Allopregnanolone Alters the Gene Expression Profile of Human Glioblastoma Cells
Allopregnanolone changes gene expression in glioblastoma cells.
research In vitro metabolism of progesterone by canine hair follicle cells
Canine hair follicle cells convert progesterone into various metabolites, mainly cortisol.
research Endocrine intervention for transsexuals
Hormone treatment for transsexual individuals is effective but carries risks like thromboembolic events and mood changes, with most side effects being minor and reversible.
research Experimental Assessment of 3-meta-Pyridine-1,2,4-Oxadiazole Deoxycholic Acid Derivative as a Prototype of 5-α-Reductase Inhibitors in silico and in vivo Models
The new compound is a promising, less toxic alternative to finasteride for treating prostate issues.

Prepubertal girls have higher sex steroid levels than boys, possibly leading to earlier puberty.
research Reproductive and Nonreproductive Actions of Testosterone
Testosterone is important for male sexual traits, reproduction, muscle and bone health, blood production, and metabolism, and works both directly and after being changed into other hormones.
research Finasteride treatment and neuroactive steroid formation.
Finasteride treatment can decrease certain steroids and increase others, possibly leading to depression symptoms in some cases.
