research Androgens and the Menopause
Testosterone replacement may help postmenopausal women with sexual function and bone density, but suitable treatments are limited.
research Additive in vivo growth-inhibitory effects of flutamide and finasteride on androgen-sensitive Shionogi 115 carcinoma
Combining flutamide and finasteride can reduce prostate weight and tumor growth, potentially benefiting treatments needing optimal DHT inhibition.
research Glioblastoma cells express crucial enzymes involved in androgen synthesis: 3β‐hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, 17‐20α‐hydroxylase, 17β‐hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase and 5α‐reductase
Glioblastoma cells can make androgens, which might help the tumor grow.

research Influence of sex and functional status on the value of serum steroid profiling in discriminating adrenocortical carcinoma from adrenocortical adenoma
Serum steroid profiling, especially 11-deoxycortisol, helps distinguish between adrenocortical carcinoma and adenoma, considering sex and functional status.
research Serum ferritin levels in non-scarring alopecia of women: a case-control study
Women with certain types of hair loss may have low iron levels, and iron supplements could help.
research The involvement of androgens in human hair growth
Androgens play a key role in hair growth and disorders like baldness and excessive hairiness.

research Serum Cystatin C levels in adolescent females: A comparative study between PCOS and Non-PCOS groups
Adolescent females with PCOS have higher serum cystatin C levels, indicating potential metabolic and cardiovascular issues.
research Post Covid telogen effluvium: the diagnostic value of serum ferritin biomarker and the preventive value of dietary supplements. a case control study
Dietary supplements might help prevent post-COVID hair loss, but serum ferritin is not a reliable indicator.
research Assessment of selective elements in serum and hair samples of women with post-COVID-19 alopecia: copper significance
Copper deficiency is linked to post-COVID-19 hair loss in women.
research Novel progestogenic androgens for male contraception: design, synthesis, and activity of C7 α-substituted testosterone
New testosterone analogs show promise for male contraception with better activity and potentially fewer side effects.
research 195 Androgen action and 3D culture conditions influence dermal papilla cells inductive properties: the role of Wnt agonists/antagonists balance
DHT reduces a cell's ability to promote hair growth, while 3D culture without DHT improves it.
research 1406 DETECTION OF MEMBRANE ANDROGEN-BINDING SITE IN LIVING RAT PROSTATE AND EVALUATION OF ITS ROLE IN PROSTATE BLOOD FLOW REGULATION
The research found that androgens help control blood flow in the rat prostate through a specific binding site.
research Alterations in androgen conjugate levels in women and men with alopecia
Women with hair loss have higher androgen levels, while men with early balding have altered androgen ratios.
research The role of androgen and androgen receptor in skin-related disorders
Targeting androgen receptors could be a promising way to treat skin disorders with fewer side effects.
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 Androgen Receptor in Human Health: A Potential Therapeutic Target
The Androgen Receptor could be a target for treating diseases like cancer, but more research is needed to confirm the effectiveness of potential treatments.
research A phase IIA randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial to study the efficacy and safety of the selective androgen receptor modulator (SARM), MK-0773 in female participants with sarcopenia
MK-0773 safely increased muscle mass but did not improve muscle strength or function in elderly women with sarcopenia.
research The Transcriptional Co-Activator cAMP Response Element-Binding Protein-Binding Protein Is Expressed in Prostate Cancer and Enhances Androgen- and Anti-Androgen-Induced Androgen Receptor Function
A protein called CBP is found in prostate cancer and can increase the effectiveness of certain prostate cancer treatments.
