research The Effect of Leonuri Herba alkaloids on Senile BPH (male and female hormone induced) model rats
Leonuri Herba alkaloids may help treat hormone-induced enlarged prostate in rats.
research Finasteride does not prevent bladder cancer: A secondary analysis of the Medical Therapy for Prostatic Symptoms Study
Finasteride does not prevent bladder cancer.
research The Effect of 5 -Reductase Inhibitors on Erectile Function
5-alpha-reductase inhibitors may cause a low incidence of erectile dysfunction that decreases over time.
research Sexual Hormones in Human Skin
Human skin makes sexual hormones that affect hair growth, skin health, and healing; too much can cause acne and hair loss, while treatments can manage these conditions.
research Male gonadal function in coeliac disease: 2. Sex hormones.
Men with coeliac disease may have hormone imbalances that could affect sexual function, but these can improve with better gut health.
research Finasteride versus cyproterone acetate-estrogen regimens in the treatment of hirsutism
Finasteride and CPA-EE2 equally reduce hirsutism, but affect hormone levels differently.
research Expression of steroidogenic enzymes in human sebaceous glands
Human sebaceous glands contain enzymes that affect androgen production and may influence sebum production and acne.
research Contraceptive use in acne
Hormonal contraceptives can help treat acne by affecting sebum production and androgen levels.
research African Journal of Biomedical Research
Olive leaves extract may help treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
research The role of dutasteride in the treatment of benign prostatic obstruction and related conditions
Dutasteride effectively treats benign prostatic obstruction, improves urinary flow, reduces prostate size, and may prevent prostate cancer, but can cause sexual side effects.
research Male pattern hair loss: current understanding
Genetics and hormones cause hair loss; finasteride treats it safely.
research The Effect of 5α-Reductase Inhibition With Dutasteride and Finasteride on Bone Mineral Density, Serum Lipoproteins, Hemoglobin, Prostate Specific Antigen and Sexual Function in Healthy Young Men
Dutasteride and finasteride do not significantly affect bone density, blood fats, or blood production, but slightly lower PSA levels and minimally impact sexual function in healthy young men.
research Clinical biochemistry of dihydrotestosterone
Understanding how DHT works is important for diagnosing and treating hormone-related disorders.
research Serum androgens and risk of atrial fibrillation in older men: The Cardiovascular Health Study
Older men with low levels of a testosterone byproduct had a higher chance of developing an irregular heartbeat.
research Testosterone modulates vasodilation in mesenteric arteries of hypertensive rats
Testosterone affects blood vessel relaxation in hypertensive rats.
research Immunohistochemical Evaluation of Androgen Receptor and Nerve Structure Density in Human Prepuce from Patients with Persistent Sexual Side Effects after Finasteride Use for Androgenetic Alopecia
Finasteride, a hair loss drug, may cause long-term sexual side effects due to changes in hormone receptor levels.
research Lack of association between clinical and biochemical hyperandrogenism in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome
Clinical signs of excess male hormones and actual hormone levels in the blood do not always match in women with polycystic ovary syndrome.
research Features of steroidogenesis and arterial hypertension in men in different types of "physiological" male hyperandrogenism
Men with high testosterone may have higher morning blood pressure, unlike those with high DHT.
research Diagnosis of hyperandrogenism: Biochemical criteria
The document concludes that accurate measurement of serum androgens is crucial for diagnosing hyperandrogenism.
research Serum lipidomic changes and sex differences in androgenetic alopecia
People with androgenetic alopecia have different lipid levels in their blood, which vary between men and women, and may be linked to a higher risk of metabolic syndrome.
research Hirsutism: Evaluation and treatment
Excessive hair growth can be assessed by history, exam, and blood tests, and treated with medication like dexamethasone, birth control pills, and spironolactone.
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 Intracrinology and Testosterone Pellet Therapy: An Enzyme-Aware, Symptom-Driven Approach to Hormone Optimization in Aging
Testosterone pellet therapy may better address hormone imbalances in aging by focusing on local hormone production and symptom relief.
research Role of 5α-dihydrotestosterone in testicular development of gilthead seabream following finasteride administration
DHT affects testicular development and regulates spermatogenesis in some fish.
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 COVID-19 and androgenic status: testosterone or dihydrotestosterone have a pivotal role?
Higher dihydrotestosterone may be linked to more inflammation in COVID-19 patients with low testosterone.
research Genome-wide association study identifies a new locus JMJD1C at 10q21 that may influence serum androgen levels in men
A new gene, JMJD1C, may affect testosterone levels in men.
research Steady-state pharmacokinetics of oral testosterone undecanoate with concomitant inhibition of 5α-reductase by finasteride
