research Presence of hyperandrogenemia in cases evaluated due to menstrual irregularity, the effect of clinical and/or biochemical hyperandrogenemia on polycystic ovary syndrome
Elevated testosterone, DHEA-S, and FAI help identify PCOS risk in menstrual irregularities.
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 Effect of androgen on nitric oxide synthase positive neurons in the medial preoptic area
Androgen, especially DHT, is crucial for erectile function in rats by affecting specific brain neurons.

research Prenatal and adult androgen activities in alcohol dependence
Higher prenatal and adult androgen levels are linked to alcohol dependence and withdrawal severity.
research Androgenic hormone profile in patients with androgenetic alopecia
Androgenetic alopecia in males is linked to hormone levels and the enzyme 5-alpha reductase.
research Preponderance of serum and intra-hepatic 5α-dihydrotestosterone in males with hepatocellular carcinoma despite low circulating androgen levels
Men with liver cancer have higher levels of a specific testosterone byproduct in their liver and blood, despite overall lower male hormone levels.
research Investigation, Treatment, and Monitoring of Late‐Onset Hypogonadism in Males: ISA, ISSAM, and EAU Recommendations

research Estimating the Contribution of the Prostate to Blood Dihydrotestosterone
The normal human prostate does not significantly affect blood DHT levels.
research Dihydrotestosterone and 5α-Reductase
Dihydrotestosterone and 5α-Reductase play a role in hair loss and prostate health, and finasteride can increase hair growth in men without affecting sperm production, but it doesn't work for postmenopausal women with hair loss.
research Dermatology consultations significantly contribute to efficient care of hospitalized patients: A prospective study of dermatology inpatient consults at a tertiary care center
Hirsutism and acanthosis nigricans are reliable skin signs of PCOS and suggest the need for further tests for related health issues.
research Alopecia with male-pattern androgenetic alopecia linked to an adrenal tumor: a case report
Adrenal tumors can cause hair loss and high testosterone in women.
research Acne neonatorum and Familial Hyperandrogenism
Newborn acne may be linked to family history of high male hormone levels.
research [Hirsutism].

MK-386 lowers DHT in blood and skin but not in semen.
research The influence of obesity on Androstenedione to Testosterone ratio in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and hyperandrogenemia
Obesity changes androgen levels in women with PCOS, leading to higher testosterone relative to androstenedione.
