research Selection signatures in goats reveal a novel deletion mutant underlying cashmere yield and diameter
A specific genetic deletion in goats affects cashmere yield and thickness.
research Three cases of androgen‐dependent disease associated with myotonic dystrophy
Women with myotonic dystrophy might get diseases related to male hormones because their body tissues are extra sensitive to these hormones.
research AKR1D1 regulates glucocorticoid availability and glucocorticoid receptor activation in human hepatoma cells
AKR1D1 controls glucocorticoid levels and receptor activity in liver cells.
research Evaluation of serum G protein-coupled estrogen receptor 1 (GPER-1) levels in patients with androgenetic alopecia
Alopecia patients have less GPER-1, which might affect hair loss.
research Androgen Action in the Ovary
Androgens are important for normal ovarian function and estrogen production, but may not be the main cause of follicle death.
research Androgens in women
Androgens play a complex role in skin conditions like acne and hair loss in women, and normal blood levels don't always show true androgen status.
research Lymphoid Enhancer-binding Factor-1 (LEF1) Interacts with the DNA-binding Domain of the Vitamin D Receptor
LEF1 interacts with Vitamin D Receptor, affecting hair follicle regeneration and this could be linked to hair loss conditions.
research The Effects of Androgens on T Cells: Clues to Female Predominance in Autoimmune Liver Diseases?
Androgens may influence T cells, contributing to higher autoimmune liver disease risk in women.
research Regulation of Receptor Binding Specificity of FGF9 by an Autoinhibitory Homodimerization
FGF9 controls which receptors it binds to through a process where two FGF9 molecules join, and changes in FGF9 can lead to incorrect receptor activation.
research Maternal androgen excess inhibits fetal cardiomyocytes proliferation through RB-mediated cell cycle arrest and induces cardiac hypertrophy in adulthood
Excess maternal androgens can cause heart problems in offspring.
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 Criteria for Defining Polycystic Ovary Syndrome as a Predominantly Hyperandrogenic Syndrome: An Androgen Excess Society Guideline
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome should be seen mainly as a condition of excess male hormones, with a focus on this in its definition.
research 46,XY DSD due to impaired androgen production
Impaired androgen production in 46,XY DSDs causes ambiguous genitalia and requires long-term care.
research Ovarian hormones and adrenal androgens during a woman's life span
Women's ovarian hormones and adrenal androgens change throughout life, affecting hair loss and health.
research Selected variants of the steroid-5-alpha-reductase isoforms SRD5A1 and SRD5A2 and the sex steroid hormone receptors ESR1, ESR2 and PGR: No association with female pattern hair loss identified
No link found between specific genes and female pattern hair loss.
research Controversies Regarding Transdermal Androgen Therapy in Postmenopausal Women
Testosterone therapy may slightly improve sexual function in postmenopausal women, but its long-term safety is unknown.
research Safety aspects of androgen treatment with 5α-dihydrotestosterone
DHT is a strong androgen that may pose less risk to the prostate compared to testosterone.
research Androgens and Parkinson’s disease: the role in humans and in experiment
Dutasteride shows promise as a potential treatment for Parkinson's disease.
research Effects of in Utero Exposure to Finasteride on Androgen-Dependent Reproductive Development in the Male Rat
Exposure to finasteride in the womb caused lasting reproductive issues in male rats.
research Androgen Replacement in Women: A Commentary
Testosterone replacement may help some postmenopausal women with symptoms like fatigue and low libido, but more research is needed to fully understand its effects.
research Androgens and Female Sexual Function and Dysfunction—Findings From the Fourth International Consultation of Sexual Medicine
Androgens play a role in female sexual function, and testosterone therapy can help women with low sexual desire, but more research is needed on treatments and long-term safety.
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 Androgen Conjugates: Physiology and Clinical Significance
Androgen conjugates might be better indicators of skin sensitivity to hormones in women with excessive hair growth.
research 5α-Reduced glucocorticoids: a story of natural selection
Natural 5α-reduced glucocorticoids might be anti-inflammatory with fewer side effects than current options.
research Effects of finasteride, a 5 alpha-reductase inhibitor, on circulating androgens and gonadotropin secretion in hirsute women.
Finasteride reduces dihydrotestosterone, increases testosterone, and may treat hirsutism in women.
research Simultaneous determination of androgens and prostaglandins in human urine using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry
Researchers developed a reliable way to measure hormones in urine, showing that a baldness treatment doesn't change hormone levels.
research Expression and functional relevance of melatonin receptors in hair follicle biology
Melatonin receptors in hair follicles help regulate hair growth and could treat hair loss.
research Blockade of Androgen Markers Using a Novel Betasitosterol, Thioctic Acid and Carnitine-containing Compound in Prostate and Hair Follicle Cell-based Assays
