Researchers found new potential treatments for conditions related to the androgen receptor, like male hormonal contraception, by testing thousands of compounds.
research Practical Geriatrics: Men's Sexual Health After Midlife
Older men should openly discuss sexual health with doctors to improve their quality of life.
research ANTIANDROGENS AND THE SKIN
Antiandrogens can treat acne, hirsutism, and seborrhea by reducing sebum production and androgen action.
research Association of Spironolactone Use With Risk of Cancer
Spironolactone does not increase cancer risk and may lower prostate cancer risk, but more research is needed.
research Androgen deprivation therapy may constitute a more effective COVID-19 prophylactic than therapeutic strategy
Androgen deprivation therapy might be better for preventing COVID-19 than treating it.
research Comparison Between Two Different Hamster Models used for the Determination of Testosterone and Finasteride Activity
Young and adult hamsters both respond similarly to testosterone and finasteride treatments, but young hamsters aren't good for testing the inhibitory activity of a specific enzyme.
research The natural history of androgenetic alopecia
AGA affects many, progresses differently, and early treatment is crucial.

Analog 23 is a promising compound for prostate cancer treatment.
research Male pattern baldness and risk of colorectal neoplasia
Men with certain types of baldness at age 45 may have a higher risk of colon cancer and colorectal adenoma.
research Dutasteride vs finasteride: assessment of differences in acute urinary retention rates and surgical risk outcomes in an elderly population aged > or =65 years.
Dutasteride is more effective than finasteride in reducing urinary retention and surgery risks in people aged 65 and older.
research The five-year effects of testosterone replacement therapy on lipid profile and glucose tolerance among hypogonadal men in Japan: a case control study
Testosterone replacement therapy improved blood sugar and fat levels without raising prostate cancer risk in Japanese men with low testosterone.
research Three Considerations Before Advising 5-α-Reductase Inhibitors for Chemoprevention
5-α-reductase inhibitors don't prevent prostate cancer but may reduce unnecessary biopsies.
research Synthesis and structure–activity investigation of iodinated arylhydantoins and arylthiohydantoins for development as androgen receptor radioligands
Scientists created iodinated arylhydantoins and arylthiohydantoins that could potentially be used for imaging prostate cancer. Some versions with specific side-chains showed high potential for this use.
research Case-Only Trees and Random Forests for Exploring Genotype-Specific Treatment Effects in Randomized Clinical Trials with Dichotomous End Points
Case-only trees and random forests improve predictions of treatment effects in clinical trials.
research Physiological and histological study of the effect of finasteride drug (Prostacare) on the fertility of albino male rats
Finasteride significantly reduces fertility in male rats.
research Clinical benefits and adverse effects of genetically-elevated free testosterone levels: a Mendelian randomization analysis
Higher free testosterone levels can increase bone density and decrease body fat but may raise the risk of prostate cancer, hair loss, and benign prostate enlargement.
research Androgens and Antiandrogens influence on COVID-19 disease in men
Male hormones may make COVID-19 worse, while substances that block these hormones could lessen symptoms.
research Novel Missense Mutation in the P-Box of Androgen Receptor in a Patient with Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome
