research Trends in the Development of New Drugs for Treatment of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia
New treatments for enlarged prostate are being developed to be more effective and have fewer side effects.
research Prostate-Sparing Effects in Primates of the Potent Androgen 7α-Methyl-19-Nortestosterone: A Potential Alternative to Testosterone for Androgen Replacement and Male Contraception1
MENT could be a better option than testosterone for male hormone therapy and birth control because it works well at lower doses and has fewer side effects on the prostate.
research Is the metabolism of testosterone to 5α-dihydrotestosterone required for androgen action in the skin?
Testosterone conversion to 5α-DHT may not be essential for its effects on the skin.
research Topical finasteride for the treatment of male androgenetic alopecia and female pattern hair loss: a review of the current literature

research Improving selective androgen receptor modulator discovery and preclinical evaluation
We need better ways to test and understand SARMs to make safer and more effective treatments.
research Endocrine treatment of benign prostatichypertrophy: Current concepts
New hormonal treatments for enlarged prostate show promise for safer, effective non-surgical options.
research Androgenetic alopecia: effects of oral finasteride on hormone profile, reproduction and sexual function

research Androgens and erythropoiesis. Induction of erythropoietin-hypersecretory state and effect of finasteride on erythropoietin secretion
Androgens increase EPO production, finasteride doesn't significantly impact it.
research A controlled study of the effects of RU58841, a non-steroidal antiandrogen, on human hair production by balding scalp grafts maintained on testosterone-conditioned nude mice
RU58841 significantly increases hair growth rate and initiates more hair cycles, but doesn't affect hair thickness, suggesting it could be a new treatment for baldness.
research Organic and Psychogenic Causes of Sexual Dysfunction in Young Men

A topical treatment safely and effectively reduced acne by causing targeted cell death in sebaceous glands without side effects.
research Androgenetic Alopecia
Male pattern baldness may be caused by factors like poor blood circulation, scalp tension, stress, and hormonal imbalances, but the exact causes are still unclear.
research In-vivo uptake and metabolism of testosterone by the skin and other tissues of the rat
