510-540 / 1000+ resultsresearch Studies on neurosteroids XXIV. Determination of neuroactive androgens, androsterone and 5α‐androstane‐3α,17β‐diol, in rat brain and serum using liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry
The methods accurately measured brain androgens, showing most 5α-androstane-3α,17β-diol comes from outside the brain, while androsterone is both transported and made in the brain.
research THERAPEUTIC HOTLINE Finasteride, 1 mg daily administration on male androgenetic alopecia in different age groups: 10-year follow-up
Finasteride is a safe and effective long-term treatment for male hair loss, especially when started early.
research Androgen binding to cytosol and nuclei of hamster sebaceous glands
Dihydrotestosterone specifically binds to hamster sebaceous glands, with a higher affinity than testosterone.
research Local stimulation of sebaceous gland activity by the topical administration of dehydroepiandrosterone
Topical DHEA safely increases skin oil production.
research Sex steroid synthesis in human skin in situ: The roles of aromatase and steroidogenic acute regulatory protein in the homeostasis of human skin
Human skin produces sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone, influenced by ARO and StAR, which may affect skin elasticity and hair growth.
research Hyperandrogenism in post-menopausal women: a diagnosis challenge
A woman had high testosterone due to an ovarian issue, which was fixed with surgery.
research A Comparative Study of Dyslipidaemia in Men and Woman with Androgenic Alopecia
People with early onset baldness have higher bad cholesterol and lower good cholesterol, increasing their heart disease risk.
research A Preliminary Assessment of Steroid Reproductive Hormones in Archaeological Human Hair Utilizing a Modified Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) Technique
Steroid hormones can be preserved in ancient hair, revealing insights into past health and fertility.
research Androgen Deprivation Therapy in Prostate Cancer: Focusing on Sexual Side Effects
Androgen Deprivation Therapy for prostate cancer often reduces sexual function but intermittent therapy may be more tolerable.
research Clinical and Biochemical Parameters of Androgen Action in Normal Healthy CaucasianVersusChinese Subjects
Caucasian men have more chest hair and higher levels of certain androgen products than Chinese men.
research Androstanediolglucuronide: A parameter for peripheral androgen activity before and during therapy with cyproterone acetate
3α-AdiolG is a good marker for androgen activity in women with excessive hair growth and decreases with anti-androgen treatment.

research Scalp Biophysical Characteristics in Males with Androgenetic Alopecia: A Comparative Study with Healthy Controls
Men with androgenetic alopecia have oilier and less hydrated scalps, especially in sensitive areas.
research Association Between Trichoscopic Features and Serum Hormone Levels and Vitamin D Concentration in Patients with Androgenetic Alopecia in Eastern China: A Cross-Sectional Study
Higher SHBG levels are linked to less severe hair loss in women, but vitamin D levels don't seem to affect hair loss.
research Mechanism of action of androgen in hair follicles
Testosterone affects hair follicles differently across body sites, with beard hair follicles showing more activity of a specific enzyme and presence of androgen receptors compared to scalp hair.
research Glycolipid and Hormonal Profiles in Young Men with Early-Onset Androgenetic Alopecia: A meta-analysis
Young men with early hair loss have slightly worse blood sugar and fat levels, suggesting possible health risks and need for monitoring.
research Effect of finasteride on adrenal steroidogenesis in men.
Finasteride, when taken daily, lowers dihydrotestosterone levels but doesn't noticeably affect adrenal steroid production, except by blocking the 5 alpha-reductase enzyme.
research Features of hyperandrogenism in men
Androgen levels can increase at any age, affecting symptoms like acne, hair loss, and prostate size.
research Effects of Sex Steroid Deprivation/Administration on Hair Growth and Skin Sebum Production in Transsexual Males and Females
Hormone treatments in transsexual individuals reduce hair growth and oil production in male-to-females and increase them in female-to-males.
research Long-term oral exposure to finasteride and different doses of minoxidil induces testicular and epididymal alterations in adult Balb/c mice
Long-term use of finasteride and minoxidil may harm male reproductive health in mice.

Oral dutasteride improves hair growth, reduces hair loss, and is safe for most patients.
research Plasma Androgens in Children and Adolescents
Normal androgen levels need ACTH, and different mechanisms control adrenarche and gonadarche.
research Sinapic acid and glabridin synergistically mitigate androgenetic alopecia by modulating ferroptosis through stabilization of β-catenin against ubiquitin-dependent degradation.
Sinapic acid and glabridin together help hair growth in androgenetic alopecia.

research ESDR564 – Vertex and Occipital Intermediate and Terminal Hair Follicles from Androgenetic Alopecia Patients are Differentially Affected by Testosterone Ex Vivo
research Distinctive features of steroid hormone metabolism in female patients with androgenic alopecia
Women with hair thinning have disrupted steroid hormone levels, but this doesn't often show as other health issues. More research is needed on hormone balance in this condition.
