Different substances that activate or block the androgen receptor can affect male development and treat conditions like prostate cancer.

Male hormones, particularly DHT, are linked to male pattern hair loss, and treatments like finasteride can help, but they don't work for postmenopausal women's hair loss, which may have different causes.

A woman with non-classic CAH had unusual heavy periods and high hormone levels, improved with treatment.

A 77-year-old woman with hair loss had high testosterone and 17OH-progesterone levels, but no significant findings on imaging.

Leydig cell hyperplasia can cause virilization in postmenopausal women and is treatable with surgery.

Testosterone works in different ways, including direct interaction with its receptor, conversion to other hormones for specific effects on genitalia, hair, bones, and muscle, and changes in body fat and sexual function when low.

Certain finger length ratios and body hair patterns may predict side effects from birth control pills in women.

Prostate cells have proteins that bind to specific hormones, which can increase protein production when activated by these hormones.

Beard hair follicles convert testosterone to 5α-dihydrotestosterone most intensively.

Premature balding in some men may be linked to altered hormones, but it's not the male equivalent to polycystic ovary syndrome or metabolic syndrome.

Low DHEA-S levels might be linked to alopecia areata and could be a potential treatment target.
