Smaller substituents at C-17 enhance the inhibitory activity of progesterone derivatives on 5alpha-reductase.

Acne in adult women may occur alone or with signs of high male hormones.

Ovarian stromal hyperplasia can cause high testosterone in postmenopausal women and is treated by removing the ovaries.

Flutamide helps with prostate cancer and some skin conditions but can harm the liver.

Male hormones worsen kidney transplant damage, but blocking them helps.

Testosterone treatment for older men can have short-term benefits, but long-term risks are unclear, requiring careful evaluation and monitoring.

Diagnosing simple-virilizing congenital adrenal hyperplasia can be difficult and requires thorough testing and expert advice.

Hirsutism, excessive hair growth in women, often caused by high androgen levels and polycystic ovary syndrome, can be treated with medication and weight management.

Antiandrogens should be used effectively to treat skin conditions like hair loss, acne, and excess hair growth.

A postmenopausal woman's virilization was caused by a rare ovarian tumor that was hard to detect but was successfully treated with surgery.

The enzyme type 1 5α-reductase is more active in the hair follicle's lower part than in the skin's outer layer.

Combining 5α-reductase and aromatase inhibitors may better reduce estrogen levels.

Odds Ratios can be misleading; it's better to also present risk and Relative Risks for clarity.

The risks of testosterone implants in women outweigh the benefits.

New chemicals were made that can block an enzyme linked to hair loss, prostate growth, and acne.

Adolescents with PCOS have higher levels of certain androgens, which are linked to hair growth but don't help diagnose PCOS better than testosterone levels.

Reducing 5α-reductase activity helps endometrial cells differentiate, aiding pregnancy.

Dihydrotestosterone changes some hormone-related gene expressions in rat pituitary glands but doesn't affect the estrous cycle.
