research Gene expression of type 2 17β hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase in scalp hairs of hirsute women
Hirsute women have lower type 2 17β-HSD enzyme levels, which improve with treatment.
research Polycystic Ovarian Morphology is Associated with Hyperandrogenemia and Insulin Resistance in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
Women with PCOS and polycystic ovaries have higher male hormone levels and more insulin resistance, especially if they are overweight.
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 The Hair Follicle: A Paradoxical Androgen Target Organ
Androgens can both promote and prevent hair growth due to differences in gene expression in hair follicles.
research Cellular actions of testosterone in vascular cells: Mechanism independent of aromatization to estradiol
Testosterone affects vascular cells directly without converting to estradiol.
research Androgens induce sebaceous differentiation in sebocyte cells expressing a stable functional androgen receptor
Androgens cause oil-producing skin cells with androgen receptors to mature and produce more oil.
research Chapter 17. Selective androgen receptor modulators (SARMs)
Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators (SARMs) are drugs that can control the effects of androgens in different tissues, potentially having fewer side effects and promising for treating various conditions.
research Selected variants of the melanocortin 4 receptor gene (MC4R) do not confer susceptibility to female pattern hair loss
MC4R gene variants not linked to female hair loss.
research Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) and PPAR agonists: the ‘future’ in dermatology therapeutics?
PPAR agonists show promise for skin conditions but need more research before being a main treatment.
research Ovarian hormones and adrenal androgens during a woman's life span
Women's ovarian hormones and adrenal androgens change throughout life, affecting hair loss and health.
research Divergent neuroactive steroid responses to stress and ethanol in rat and mouse strains: relevance for human studies
Stress and alcohol affect brain chemicals differently in rats, mice, and humans, influenced by genetic differences.
research A comparative study of Aldactone® and Diane® in the treatment of hirsutism
Aldactone was more effective in reducing hair growth in women with hirsutism than Diane, despite having less impact on hormone levels.
research Intrinsic versus Extrinsic Aging: A Histopathological, Morphometric and Immunohistochemical Study of Estrogen Receptor β and Androgen Receptor
The study concluded that both estrogen and androgen receptors, which decrease with age, are linked to skin aging and may be hormonally regulated.
research Neuroactive Steroids and Ethanol Exposure: Relevance to Ethanol Sensitivity and Alcohol Use Disorders Risk
Neuroactive steroids may affect the risk and treatment of alcohol use disorders.
research The mineralocorticoid receptor as a novel player in skin biology: beyond the renal horizon?
The mineralocorticoid receptor may play a role in skin and hair health and could be a new target for treating related disorders.
research Gender-Affirming Hormone Therapy for Transgender Females
Hormone therapy for transgender females increases the risk of blood clots and requires careful dosing, monitoring, and lifelong management.
research Expression and function of nuclear receptor co-activator 4: evidence of a potential role independent of co-activator activity
NcoA4 may have roles beyond helping control gene activity, possibly affecting cell behavior and stability.
research Androgen receptor–mediated inhibition of cutaneous wound healing
Lowering testosterone speeds up wound healing in male mice.
research Interaction of chronic ethanol exposure and finasteride: sex and strain differences
Finasteride reduces alcohol withdrawal effects, especially in female mice.
research Sex-specific Difference of Hippocampal Synaptic Plasticity in Response to Sex Neurosteroids
Sex neurosteroids cause different effects on hippocampal synaptic plasticity in males and females.
research Therapeutic Androgen Receptor Ligands
Androgens and SARMs play a role in body mass, frailty, skin health, and hair growth, and are used in treating prostate cancer, acne, and hair loss, with potential for new uses and improved versions in the future.
research Correlation Between Nongenomic Action of C19-Steroids and COVID-19 Severity
Low testosterone may increase COVID-19 severity in men.
research Urinary steroid metabolome shows adrenal, gonadal, and neuroactive steroid dysregulation in adolescents with depression
Depressed teens have different steroid levels in urine, which may help identify and treat them.
research Discovery of Natural Steroid 5 Alpha-Reductase Inhibitors
Natural herbal compounds might treat certain medical conditions by reducing DHT levels, but more research is needed to confirm their effectiveness and safety.
research Expression of Sex-Determining Genes in the Scalp of Men with Androgenetic Alopecia
Sex-determining genes may affect male baldness.
research Patients treated for male pattern hair with finasteride show, after discontinuation of the drug, altered levels of neuroactive steroids in cerebrospinal fluid and plasma
Finasteride affects brain and blood steroids, causing lasting sexual and emotional side effects.
research Urinary steroids in men with male-pattern alopecia
Men with male-pattern baldness have higher levels of certain testosterone metabolites and may have more active androgen metabolism.
research Early postnatal neuroactive steroid manipulation differentially affects recognition memory and passive avoidance performance in male rats
Changing neuroactive steroids in baby male rats affects their memory and learning differently as they grow up.
