research Preparation of3H-labelled testosterone metabolites
The conclusion is that tritium-labeled testosterone metabolites can be made and are better converted into dihydrotestosterone in skin cells than in prostate tissue.
research 4 Anti-androgens in gynaecological practice
Cyproterone acetate is effective for treating hirsutism and acne in women by blocking androgens in the skin and also works as a contraceptive.
research Dihydrotestosterone Stimulates 5a-Reductase Activity in Pubic Skin Fibroblasts*
Dihydrotestosterone increases the activity of an enzyme in pubic skin cells that converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone.
research The anti-androgen combination, flutamide plus finasteride, paradoxically suppressed LH and androgen concentrations in pregnant spotted hyenas, but not in males
Flutamide and finasteride reduced sex hormones in pregnant hyenas, but increased them in males.
research Practical approaches to the use of markers of biochemical hyperandrogenism in women
Accurate diagnosis and treatment of hyperandrogenism in women require comprehensive evaluation of symptoms and hormone levels.
research Idiopathic hirsutism: Is it really idiopathic or is it misnomer?
Idiopathic hirsutism might not be truly idiopathic but could be an early stage of hyperandrogenic disorders.
research Society for Endocrinology Clinical Practice Guideline for the Evaluation of Androgen Excess in Women
Evaluate and manage androgen excess in women with a systematic approach, considering both physical and psychological impacts.
research Androgen Biosynthesis Inhibitors and Androgen Receptor Antagonists
Anti-androgen drugs can treat conditions like prostate cancer and male pattern baldness by blocking effects of testosterone and DHT.
research The role of androgens in hormone replacement therapy
Androgen therapy can help with symptoms like low libido in women, but more research is needed to understand its long-term safety and effects on health.
research Effect of the gonadotrophin releasing hormone analogue, goserelin, and oestradiol replacement on sebum excretion rates and hair size in mildly hirsute women
Goserelin and oestradiol treatment slightly improved hairiness but did not significantly change sebum production or hair characteristics in mildly hirsute women.
research Topical Antiandrogens
Topical antiandrogens might treat skin issues like hair growth, balding, and acne, but finding effective treatments without side effects is challenging.
research DIHYDROTESTOSTERONE AND THE PROSTATE: THE SCIENTIFIC RATIONALE FOR 5α-REDUCTASE INHIBITORS IN THE TREATMENT OF BENIGN PROSTATIC HYPERPLASIA
Drugs that block DHT production can effectively treat enlarged prostate and improve urinary issues with some sexual side effects.
research MK-386, an Inhibitor of 5α-Reductase Type 1, Reduces Dihydrotestosterone Concentrations in Serum and Sebum without Affecting Dihydrotestosterone Concentrations in Semen1
MK-386 lowers DHT in blood and skin but not in semen.
research Inhibition of 5α-Reductase Activity in SZ95 Sebocytes and HaCaT Keratinocytes In Vitro
The substance MK386 effectively blocked testosterone conversion and reduced cell growth in certain skin cells, but inhibiting 5α-reductase alone may not greatly improve acne.
research Women Also Use 5α-Reductase Inhibitors—Reply
Women also use 5α-reductase inhibitors, and their effects differ from men.
research The enzyme and inhibitors of 4-ene-3-oxosteroid 5α-oxidoreductase
Inhibitors of the enzyme 5 alpha-reductase could potentially treat disorders like prostate cancer and baldness.
research Clinical biochemistry of dihydrotestosterone
Understanding how DHT works is important for diagnosing and treating hormone-related disorders.
research Female Antiandrogens
Antiandrogens can treat female hormonal conditions, but environmental ones may harm reproductive health.
research Cyproterone/finasteride
Cyproterone and finasteride reduced hypersexuality but caused serious side effects.
research Steroid 5α-Reductase Inhibitors
New steroidal compounds could be effective for treating conditions related to 5α-reductase enzyme activity.
research RETRACTION: The Causal Relationship between Androgenetic Alopecia and Serum Uric Acid: A Bidirectional Mendelian Randomization Analysis
research A case of androgen-secreting adrenal carcinoma with non-classical congenital adrenal hyperplasia
A woman with a rare adrenal tumor and hormonal disorder had improved testosterone levels after surgery, but her menstrual irregularities continued.
research Effect of Leuprolide and Dexamethasone on Hair Growth and Hormone Levels in Hirsute Women: The Relative Importance of the Ovary and the Adrenal in the Pathogenesis of Hirsutism*
The ovary mainly causes high testosterone in PCO, while the adrenal gland is the main source in IH.
research Steady-state pharmacokinetics of oral testosterone undecanoate with concomitant inhibition of 5α-reductase by finasteride
Finasteride doesn't affect oral testosterone undecanoate, and high DHT levels may cause acne, prostate issues, and hair loss.
research Expression of Concern: Treatment of hirsutism by finasteride and flutamide in women with polycystic ovary syndrome
The article's findings are uncertain and should be viewed with caution.
research Acne
Hormonal treatments can help with acne, especially in women, by lowering androgen levels or blocking their effects.
research Dermatology of androgen-related disorders
Androgens cause skin issues like acne and hair growth in women, often due to PCOS, and can be treated with medication and lifestyle changes.
research The evaluation and treatment of androgen excess
High androgen levels can cause excessive hair growth and may indicate serious health issues, including heart disease and fertility problems.
research Local and Systemic Reduction by Topical Finasteride or Flutamide of Hamster Flank Organ Size and Enzyme Activity
Topical finasteride and flutamide reduce gland size and enzyme activity, with flutamide being more potent, potentially treating acne, seborrhea, hirsutism, and androgenic alopecia.
