Testing for CAG repeat polymorphism in the androgen receptor gene is not currently recommended for managing hypogonadism.
research THE ENDOCRINE SYSTEM AND HAIR GROWTH IN THE RAT
Male rats grow hair faster than females, and certain hormones can slow or slightly increase hair growth, but not significantly beyond natural rates.
research The effect of the antiandrogen IIα-hydroxyprogesterone on sebum production and cholesterol concentration of sebum
The antiandrogen 11α-hydroxyprogesterone effectively reduces skin oil and cholesterol when applied to the skin.
research Post-finasteride syndrome: An emerging clinical problem
Post-finasteride syndrome causes lasting sexual, neurological, and physical side effects in some people after taking finasteride.
research Congenital adrenal hyperplasia
The document concludes that diagnosing and treating Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia is complex and requires a team approach due to its effects on the skin and other symptoms.
research Contribution of androgens to chronic allograft nephropathy is mediated by dihydrotestosterone
Male hormones worsen kidney transplant damage, but blocking them helps.
research Mitotic activity in the epidermis of the rabbit stimulated with local applications of testosterone propionate
Testosterone applied to rabbit skin increases skin cell growth and changes skin structure.
research Anti-androgens for the treatment of hirsutism
Different anti-androgen medications can help treat excessive hair growth, but the right choice depends on accurate diagnosis.
research Advances in male hormone substitution therapy
New treatments for low male hormones improved sexual function and mood but had unclear risks, especially for older men.
research The Hirsute Woman: Challenges in Evaluation and Management
Most hirsutism cases are due to PCOS, and treatment focuses on lowering testosterone and blocking its effects.
research Optimization of LC method for the determination of testosterone and epitestosterone in urine samples in view of biomedical studies and anti-doping research studies
