research Meta-analysis identifies novel risk loci and yields systematic insights into the biology of male-pattern baldness
Researchers found 63 genes linked to male-pattern baldness, which could help in understanding its biology and developing new treatments.
research Significance of the polyglutamine tract polymorphism in the androgen receptor
The length of the CAG repeat in the androgen receptor gene affects the risk and progression of prostate cancer, BPH, infertility, and undermasculinized genitalia.
research The evolutionary impact of androgen levels on prostate cancer in a multi-scale mathematical model
Low androgen levels might delay prostate cancer but could lead to more aggressive, therapy-resistant cancers.
research Overexpression of aldo-keto reductase 1C3 (AKR1C3) in LNCaP cells diverts androgen metabolism towards testosterone resulting in resistance to the 5α-reductase inhibitor finasteride
Too much AKR1C3 enzyme causes resistance to finasteride by increasing testosterone.
research Finasteride and sexual side effects
Finasteride may cause sexual side effects like erectile dysfunction, but they are reversible and affect less than 2% of men.
research An Update on Plant Derived Anti-Androgens
Some plant-derived compounds may help with hormonal conditions, but more research is needed to confirm their effectiveness.
research Comparison of clinical and laboratory characteristics of cases with polycystic ovarian syndrome based on Rotterdam’s criteria and women whose only clinical signs are oligo/anovulation or hirsutism
Women with only irregular periods or excess hair have a better hormone profile than those with full PCOS, but both groups are similar, indicating a need for better PCOS diagnosis methods.
research Decreased fertility in male rats administered the 5α-reductase inhibitor, finasteride, is due to deficits in copulatory plug formation
Finasteride reduces male rat fertility by causing issues with copulatory plug formation.
research Azasteroids as inhibitors of testosterone 5α-reductase in mammalian skin
Certain 4-azasteroids are effective at blocking the enzyme that processes testosterone in human skin and could help treat acne, excessive hair growth, and male pattern baldness.
research Intermittent Use of Testosterone Inactivating Pharmaceuticals Using Finasteride Prolongs the Time Off Period
Using finasteride with TIP extends time off period for prostate cancer patients.
research Differential expression of steroid 5α-reductase isozymes and association with disease severity and angiogenic genes predict their biological role in prostate cancer
SRD5A1 is crucial in advanced prostate cancer, and blocking both SRD5A1 and SRD5A2 is more effective than targeting SRD5A2 alone.
research CAG Repeat Testing of Androgen Receptor Polymorphism: Is This Necessary for the Best Clinical Management of Hypogonadism?
Testing for CAG repeat polymorphism in the androgen receptor gene is not currently recommended for managing hypogonadism.
research Does a male polycystic ovarian syndrome equivalent exist?
Early onset baldness in men may indicate a condition similar to PCOS, linked to heart disease, diabetes, and prostate issues.
research Androgen antagonists in androgen target tissues
Antiandrogens have important biological effects, but more research is needed to understand them fully and compare their effectiveness and side effects to other treatments.
research Epidemiological study of prostate cancer (EPICAP): a population-based case–control study in France
Circadian rhythm disruption, chronic inflammation, hormones, metabolism, and genetics may increase prostate cancer risk.
research Risks and side effects in the medical management of benign prostatic hyperplasia
Medications for BPH can have significant side effects, so understanding these risks is important for treatment decisions.
research The placebo effect and randomized trials: analysis of conventional medicine
The document concludes that it's important to understand the placebo effect when evaluating the effectiveness of treatments in medical trials.
research Testosterone therapy in men: Clinical and pharmacological perspectives
Testosterone therapy aims to treat hormone deficiencies and various conditions safely and effectively, but requires careful patient monitoring due to potential side effects.
research Disease Versus Disease: How One Disease May Ameliorate Another
Some diseases can improve the outcomes of other diseases, leading to new treatment possibilities.
research The prostaglandin synthases, COX-2 and L-PGDS, mediate prostate hyperplasia induced by low-dose bisphenol A
Low-dose bisphenol A increases prostate size in rats by affecting certain enzymes.
research Anti-Androgen Effects of Extracts and Compounds fromGanoderma lucidum
Ganoderma lucidum may help treat prostate cancer by blocking male hormones and slowing cancer cell growth.
research Recent Advances in the Chemistry and Pharmacological Activity of New Steroidal Antiandrogens and 5α-Reductase Inhibitors
New compounds show promise for treating hair loss, enlarged prostate, and prostate cancer, with some being more effective and having different side effects than current treatments.
research Benign prostatic hyperplasia and male lower urinary symptoms: A guide for family physicians
Family doctors can manage older men with urinary symptoms using exams, tests, and medications.
research FCE 28260, a new 5α-reductase inhibitor: In vitro and in vivo effects
FCE 28260 is a stronger and longer-lasting inhibitor of 5α-reductase than finasteride, which may make it a better treatment for certain medical conditions.
research Safety aspects of androgen treatment with 5α-dihydrotestosterone
DHT is a strong androgen that may pose less risk to the prostate compared to testosterone.
research Therapeutic Androgen Receptor Ligands
Androgens and SARMs play a role in body mass, frailty, skin health, and hair growth, and are used in treating prostate cancer, acne, and hair loss, with potential for new uses and improved versions in the future.
