research A Teenage Girl with Unexpected Pubertal Changes
The girl's unexpected pubic hair growth led to a diagnosis different from complete androgen insensitivity syndrome.
research Influence of finasteride treatment on metabolic profile of men with androgenetic alopecia
Taking 1 mg finasteride for a year reduces dihydrotestosterone levels in men with early hair loss, but doesn't change their metabolic state.
research Sulfotransferases, sulfatases and formylglycine-generating enzymes: a sulfation fascination
The document concludes that understanding sulfation biology is crucial for creating treatments due to its importance in biological functions and disease.
research Gut–ovary axis and multiomic insights into PCOS in a DHEA-induced rat model
Gut microbiota and metabolic pathways may play a key role in PCOS development.
research Toward a Diagnostic Score in Cushing's Syndrome
The document suggests creating a validated score to diagnose Cushing's Syndrome and considers plasma steroid profiling as a simpler diagnostic method.
research The biochemical and phenotypic characterization of females homozygous for 5 alpha-reductase-2 deficiency.
Females with 5 alpha-reductase-2 deficiency have less body hair, no acne, normal fertility, and delayed menarche.
research Evidence for Increased 5α-Reductase Activity During Early Childhood in Daughters of Women With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Young girls whose mothers have PCOS may have higher activity of a specific enzyme that could lead to developing PCOS later.
research Steroidomics for highlighting novel serum biomarkers of testosterone doping
Monitoring steroid hormones in blood can better detect testosterone doping.
research Long-term detection of methyltestosterone (ab-) use by a yeast transactivation system
A yeast-based test can detect the steroid methyltestosterone in urine longer than traditional methods.
research Lactiplantibacillus plantarum ZJUIDS51 improves androgenic alopecia via gut-skin axis
Lactiplantibacillus plantarum ZJUIDS51 can help regrow hair and improve scalp health in androgenic alopecia.
research More about X‐linked testicular feminization of the mouse as a noninducible (is) mutation of a regulatory locus: 5α‐androstan‐3α‐17ß‐diol as the true inducer of kidney alcohol dehydrogenase and ß‐glucuronidase
A specific metabolite, not a receptor protein, triggers the production of certain kidney enzymes, but this process is disrupted in mice with a mutation causing testicular feminization.
research Physiopathological role of the enzymatic complex 5α-reductase and 3α/β-hydroxysteroid oxidoreductase in the generation of progesterone and testosterone neuroactive metabolites
The enzymes 5α-reductase and 3α/β-hydroxysteroid oxidoreductase help create brain-active substances from progesterone and testosterone, which could be used for treatment, but more research is needed to ensure their safety and effectiveness.
research Neuroactive Steroids: Functions, Mechanisms of Action and Physiologic Relevance
Allopregnanolone may enhance alcohol's effects on dopamine neurons, influencing addiction risk.
research Effects of mitotane treatment on human steroid metabolism: implications for patient management
Mitotane changes steroid breakdown, affecting cortisol availability.
research In-vivo uptake and metabolism of testosterone by the skin and other tissues of the rat
Rat skin takes up and processes testosterone differently than other organs, with testosterone being more important for the skin than its metabolite 5α-DHT.
research Urinary steroids in women with androgenic alopecia
Women with hair loss had higher levels of certain hormones, suggesting a link to a condition like PCOS.
research Sex differences in steroid levels and steroidogenesis in the nervous system: Physiopathological role
Men and women have different levels and production of brain steroids, which may affect their risk for certain brain disorders.
research Finasteride, A Steroid 5α-Reductase Inhibitor, Does Not Affect the Oxidative Metabolism of Antipyrine
Finasteride doesn't affect antipyrine metabolism, so interactions with cytochrome P-450 enzyme drugs are unlikely.
research Testosterone Reduces Tight Junction Complexity and Down-regulates Expression of Claudin-4 and Occludin in the Endometrium in Ovariectomized, Sex-steroid Replacement Rats
Testosterone makes the connections in the uterus lining simpler and lowers certain protein levels, which might lead to infertility.
research Finasteride treatment and neuroactive steroid formation.
Finasteride treatment can decrease certain steroids and increase others, possibly leading to depression symptoms in some cases.
research Respiratory regulation by steroids in newborn rats: a sex‐specific balance between allopregnanolone and progesterone receptors
Breathing in newborn rats is affected differently by hormones based on their sex.
research The Distribution of Estrogen Receptor β Is Distinct to That of Estrogen Receptor α and the Androgen Receptor in Human Skin and the Pilosebaceous Unit
Estrogen Receptor ß (ERß) is the main hormone controller in human skin and hair follicles, not Estrogen Receptor α (ERα) or the Androgen Receptor (AR).
research Androgen binding profiles of two distinct nuclear androgen receptors in Atlantic croaker (Micropogonias undulatus)
Different types of androgens bind differently to two receptors, AR1 and AR2, in Atlantic croaker's brain and ovarian tissues, suggesting these receptors may control different androgen actions in fish.
research Effect of the 5α-reductase enzyme inhibitor dutasteride in the brain of intact and parkinsonian mice
Dutasteride may protect the brain in early Parkinson's disease.
research Social isolation alters GABAA receptors plasticity and function: effect of voluntary consumption of ethanol
Social isolation changes brain receptors and makes ethanol more impactful.
