research Synthesis and in vitro study of 17β-[N-ureylene-N,N′-disubstituted]-4-methyl-4-aza-5α-androstan-3-ones as selective inhibitors of type I 5α-reductase
New compounds were made that effectively block a specific enzyme related to androgen conditions.
research Serum concentrations of dihydrotestosterone are associated with symptoms of hypogonadism in biochemically eugonadal men
Higher DHT levels are linked to fewer hypogonadism symptoms in men with normal testosterone levels.
research Sexual function in women with androgen excess disorders: classic forms of congenital adrenal hyperplasia and polycystic ovary syndrome
Women with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) have more sexual function issues than those with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), but physical activity can improve sexual functioning in all women.
research Testicular Steroidogenesis
Genetic defects in testosterone production can cause hormonal and developmental disorders, and more research is needed to understand androgen regulation and develop safer treatments.
research Low serum testosterone is associated with an increased risk of first-time renal calculi in men without testosterone replacement therapy
Low testosterone increases kidney stone risk in men not on testosterone therapy.
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 Determination of rat 5α-reductase type 1 isozyme activity and its inhibition by novel steroidal oxazolines
New steroidal compounds moderately block an enzyme related to testosterone conversion, less effectively than finasteride.
research Evaluation of bioequivalence of five 0.1 mg dutasteride capsules compared to one 0.5 mg dutasteride capsule: a randomized study in healthy male volunteers
Taking five small dutasteride capsules is the same as taking one larger capsule.
research Simvastatin-induced myoglobinuric acute kidney injury following ciclosporin treatment for alopecia universalis
Combining ciclosporin and simvastatin can cause severe kidney damage.
research The genetically programmed hair growth cycle and alopecia: what is there to know?
The document concludes that hair loss is complex, affects many people, has limited treatments, and requires more research on its causes and psychological impact.
research Early postnatal allopregnanolone levels alteration and adult behavioral disruption in rats: Implication for drug abuse
Changing allopregnanolone levels in baby rats affects their adult behavior and alcohol use.
research Crystal Structure of 3-Oxo-4-Aza-5-Alpha-Androstone-17 β-Tert-Butyl Carboxamide with an O···H–(C, N) Acceptor Four-Center Hydrogen Bond
The research shows that hydrogen bonds greatly affect the crystal structure of a Finasteride derivative.
research In vitro and clinical evaluation of umbilical cord‐derived mesenchymal stromal cell‐conditioned media for hair regeneration
Umbilical cord-derived media is safe and effective for hair growth.
research Azathiopine for the Treatment of Extensive Forms of Alopecia Areata: A Systematic Review
Azathioprine may help treat severe alopecia areata, but more research is needed.
research Variations in anterior segment parameters among different phenotypes of polycystic ovary syndrome
PCOS may increase eye pressure and corneal thickness, affecting eye health.
research Letter to the Editor: “Characteristics of Men Who Report Persistent Sexual Symptoms After Finasteride Use for Hair Loss”
Finasteride use may cause sexual dysfunction; more research needed.
research The Ability of Nutrient Antioxidants to Influence Oxidative Stress and Lower the Dose of Prednisolone in Patients with Alopecia Areata
Nutrient antioxidants helped reduce prednisolone dosage and improved hair growth in alopecia areata patients.
research Cyproterone Acetate: A Genotoxic Carcinogen?
Cyproterone acetate may cause liver cancer at high doses, but is considered safe at recommended doses for approved uses.
research Concomitant acute alopecia and profound bone marrow suppression: An unusual manifestation of azathioprine toxicity
Stopping azathioprine improved hair loss and bone marrow issues.
research Insights From Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry-Measured Androgens in Indian Women With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Androstenedione is better than testosterone for diagnosing PCOS in Indian women.
research The laboratory in the multidisciplinary diagnosis of differences or disorders of sex development (DSD)
Diagnosing sex development disorders requires combining medical history, physical exams, imaging, lab tests, and genetic data.
research 37-Year-Old Man With Fatigue and Erectile Dysfunction
The man's fatigue and erectile dysfunction were improved by treating his obesity-related low testosterone without needing testosterone replacement.
research Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
PCOS is a genetic disorder affecting women's reproductive health, with treatments focused on symptoms like insulin resistance and fertility.
