Certain 4-azasteroids are effective at blocking the enzyme that processes testosterone in human skin and could help treat acne, excessive hair growth, and male pattern baldness.
research The rationale for physiological testosterone replacement in women
Testosterone replacement may help post-menopausal women with androgen insufficiency, but more research is needed on its benefits and risks.
research Revisiting hyper- and hypo-androgenism by tandem mass spectrometry
The document concludes that using LC-MS/MS for measuring androgens is more accurate than older methods, but it needs careful validation and standardized references to be most effective.
research Applications of steroid drugs entrapped in cyclodextrins
Cyclodextrins improve how steroid drugs work and are used in marketed medications and environmental applications.
research Managing Cutaneous Manifestations of Hyperandrogenic Disorders
Birth control pills help treat skin and hair growth problems linked to high male hormone levels.
research EFFECT OF POTASSIUM ON BLOOD-SUGAR AND PLASMA-INSULIN LEVELS IN PATIENTS UNDERGOING PERITONEAL DIALYSIS AND HÆMODIALYSIS

research Urinary steroids in women with androgenic alopecia
Women with hair loss had higher levels of certain hormones, suggesting a link to a condition like PCOS.
research Allopregnanolone is required for prepulse inhibition deficits induced by D1 dopamine receptor activation
Allopregnanolone is needed for certain brain processing issues caused by D1 dopamine receptor activation.
research The role of antimullerian hormone in the hormonal workup of women with persistent acne
Women with persistent acne and high levels of antimullerian hormone are more likely to have polycystic ovarian syndrome.
research May AMH levels distinguish LOCAH from PCOS among hirsute women?
AMH levels can't reliably tell the difference between LOCAH and all types of PCOS in women with excessive hair growth.
research Acne in children
Acne in children varies by age and severity, requires a pediatric treatment approach, and may need diagnostic evaluation for underlying conditions.
research Acne
Acne is a common skin condition linked to diet, hormones, and genetics, and early treatment can prevent scarring.
research The influence of low dose finasteride, a type II 5α-reductase inhibitor, on circulating neuroactive steroids
