research Androgen receptors are only present in mesenchyme-derived dermal papilla cells of red deer (Cervus elaphus) neck follicles when raised androgens induce a mane in the breeding season
Red deer only have androgen receptors in neck hair cells for mane growth during breeding season.
research Androgen Excess in Women: Experience with Over 1000 Consecutive Patients
Most women with excess male hormones have Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, and hormonal therapy can improve symptoms but may cause side effects.
research Androgens and hair growth
Androgens can both increase and decrease hair growth in different parts of the body.
research Androgen‐inducible TGF‐β1 from balding dermal papilla cells inhibits epithelial cell growth: a clue to understanding paradoxical effects of androgen on human hair growth
Androgens may cause hair loss by increasing TGF-beta1 from scalp cells, which inhibits hair cell growth.
research Androgens Protect against Apolipoprotein E4-Induced Cognitive Deficits
Androgens can help prevent memory problems caused by apoE4.
research Androgen Signaling Regulates SARS-CoV-2 Receptor Levels and Is Associated with Severe COVID-19 Symptoms in Men
Male hormones affect COVID-19 severity and certain drugs targeting these hormones could help reduce the risk.
research Androgen Profiling by Liquid Chromatography–Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) in Healthy Normal-Weight Ovulatory and Anovulatory Late Adolescent and Young Women
The research found that anovulatory young women have higher androgen and hormone levels than those who ovulate, suggesting immature hormonal regulation rather than a specific condition.
research The therapeutic use of androgens in women
Testosterone replacement may improve sexual desire and bone health in women with low androgen levels, but more research is needed on its long-term safety.
research Overexpression of aldo-keto reductase 1C3 (AKR1C3) in LNCaP cells diverts androgen metabolism towards testosterone resulting in resistance to the 5α-reductase inhibitor finasteride
Too much AKR1C3 enzyme causes resistance to finasteride by increasing testosterone.
research Basics of androgen synthesis and action
Androgens like testosterone are important hormones for both men and women, made differently in each sex and affecting the body by regulating genes and quick interactions with cell components.
research Afamin serum concentrations are associated with insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome in polycystic ovary syndrome
High afamin levels are linked to metabolic syndrome and may predict its development in women with insulin resistance.
research Androgen Receptor Accelerates Premature Senescence of Human Dermal Papilla Cells in Association with DNA Damage
Androgen receptor signaling causes early aging of cells important for hair growth by damaging their DNA.
research Contribution of androgens to chronic allograft nephropathy is mediated by dihydrotestosterone
Male hormones worsen kidney transplant damage, but blocking them helps.
research Dihydrotestosterone-induced hair regrowth inhibition by activating androgen receptor in C57BL6 mice simulates androgenetic alopecia
DHT stops hair regrowth in mice, similar to human hair loss.
research Crosstalk between androgen and Wnt/β-catenin leads to changes of wool density in FGF5-knockout sheep
Blocking the FGF5 gene in sheep leads to more fine wool and active hair follicles due to changes in certain cell signaling pathways.
research Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia: A Disorder of Androgen Metabolism in the Male
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia may be caused by changes in how the body processes male hormones.
research Androgens trigger different growth responses in genetically identical human hair follicles in organ culture that reflect their epigenetic diversity in life
Male hormones cause different growth in identical human hair follicles due to their unique epigenetic characteristics.
research Prostaglandin D2-Mediated DP2 and AKT Signal Regulate the Activation of Androgen Receptors in Human Dermal Papilla Cells
PGD2 increases androgen receptor activity in hair cells, which could be targeted to treat hair loss.
research THERAPEUTIC HOTLINE: Genetic variations in the androgen receptor gene and finasteride response in women with androgenetic alopecia mediated by epigenetics
Women with greater androgen sensitivity respond better to finasteride for hair loss.
research Androgen- and Estrogen-Secreting Adrenal Cancers
Rare adrenal cancers that secrete androgens or estrogens have a poor prognosis and are treated primarily with surgery.
research Molecular basis of androgen action on human sexual desire
Testosterone significantly affects sexual desire in both men and women, but its impact on women is more complex and influenced by psychological factors.
research COMBINATION OF AN ANTIANDROGEN AND A 5α-REDUCTASE INHIBITOR: A FURTHER STEP TOWARDS TOTAL ANDROGEN BLOCKADE?
Using two drugs together, Flutamide and 4-MA, is more effective for blocking male hormones than using each one alone.
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 Effect of Saw Palmetto Supplements on Androgen-Sensitive LNCaP Human Prostate Cancer Cell Number and Syrian Hamster Flank Organ Growth
Saw palmetto supplements may reduce prostate cancer cell growth without being toxic.
research Biological Profile of Cortexolone 17a-Propionate (CB-03-01), a New Topical and Peripherally Selective Androgen Antagonist
CB-03-01 is a promising skin cream for treating hormone-related skin problems without causing harmful body-wide effects.
research Diagnostic pitfalls in ovarian androgen-secreting (Leydig cell) tumours: case series
Ovarian Leydig cell tumors are hard to diagnose with just advanced imaging; expert ultrasound and clinical evaluation are essential.
research The role of pre-operative androgen stimulation in hypospadias surgery.
Pre-operative hormone treatment for hypospadias surgery might improve outcomes, but more research is needed to confirm.
research Markers of peripheral androgen action in vivo and in vitro
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is crucial for conditions like male-pattern baldness and acne, and measuring a byproduct, androstanediol glucuronide, is a better way to assess DHT's effects than DHT blood levels.
research ANDROGEN METABOLISM AS IT AFFECTS HAIR GROWTH IN ANDROGENETIC ALOPECIA
Androgens, like DHT, affect hair growth and treatments like finasteride may help.
