research Androgens’ Effects across the Lifespan in Men and Animal Models
Androgens, male hormones, affect physical and mental functions, with a decrease leading to health issues like muscle loss, bone disease, and depression, and more research is needed on long-term effects and treatments.
research Distinct Transcriptional Profiles of the Female, Male, and Finasteride-Induced Feminized Male Anogenital Region in Rat Fetuses
Finasteride exposure affects gene expression and anogenital distance in male rat fetuses.
research Hyperandrogenism, Elevated 17-Hydroxyprogesterone and Its Urinary Metabolites in a Young Woman with Ovarian Steroid Cell Tumor, Not Otherwise Specified: Case Report and Review of the Literature
A young woman's symptoms suggested PCOS, but tests and surgery confirmed and treated a rare ovarian tumor, resolving her condition.
research Finasteride blocks progesterone synthesis in MA-10 Leydig tumor cells
research A Review of the Relationships Between Endogenous Sex Steroids and Incident Ischemic Stroke and Coronary Heart Disease Events
Lower testosterone increases heart disease risk; higher estradiol increases risk in women.
research Unchanged androgen-binding properties of sex hormone-binding globulin in male patients with liver cirrhosis
SHBG binding properties are unchanged in male liver cirrhosis patients.
research Analysis of the finasteride treatment and its withdrawal in the rat hypothalamus and hippocampus at whole-transcriptome level
Finasteride treatment in rats changed the expression of genes related to psychiatric and neurological functions, and these changes persisted after stopping the drug.
research Common Variants in the Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin (SHBG) Gene Influence SHBG Levels in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Certain SHBG gene variants, like rs727428, are linked to higher testosterone levels in women with PCOS.
research Cardiac and Medullary Neuroinflammatory Pathways Trigger Androgenic Incitement of Cardiovascular Sequels of Endotoxemia in Rats
Testosterone increases heart and blood pressure issues in rats with endotoxemia, and stopping testosterone production can reduce these problems.
research 2-Substituted 4-(Thio)chromenone 6-O-Sulfamates: Potent Inhibitors of Human Steroid Sulfatase
New compounds were made that block an enzyme linked to breast cancer better than existing treatments.
research A variant of the glucocorticoid receptor gene is not associated with adrenal androgen excess in women with polycystic ovary syndrome
The N363S gene variant does not cause higher adrenal androgen levels in women with polycystic ovary syndrome.
research Anabolic potential of bone mineral in human periosteal fibroblasts using steroid markers of healing
Bone mineral and minocycline boost bone cell growth, aiding healing.
research 5α-Reductases in Human Physiology: An Unfolding Story
Enzymes called 5α-reductases have many body functions and need more research to safely use inhibitors.
research Effects of Prenatal Treatment with Antiandrogens on Luteinizing Hormone Secretion and Sex Steroid Concentrations in Adult Spotted Hyenas, Crocuta crocuta1
Prenatal antiandrogen treatment altered hormone levels in adult spotted hyenas, affecting males and females differently.
research Polycystic ovary syndrome is associated with atherogenic changes in lipoprotein particle number and size independent of body weight
Women with PCOS have unhealthy changes in their cholesterol particles that are not related to their body weight.
research Androgens
Male hormones and their interactions are crucial for male sexual development and characteristics.
research Effects of mitotane treatment on human steroid metabolism: implications for patient management
Mitotane changes steroid breakdown, affecting cortisol availability.
research Analysis of the microRNA expression profile of normal human dermal papilla cells treated with 5α-dihydrotestosterone
DHT affects hair follicle cells by changing microRNA levels, leading to less cell growth and more cell death.
research Medical consequences of long-term anabolic-androgenic Steroids (AASs) abuses in athletes
Long-term steroid abuse in athletes causes serious health risks, outweighing any benefits.
research METABOLISM AND ACTION OF ANDROGEN IN THE SKIN
Androgens affect skin conditions like acne and hair loss through specific biochemical pathways.
research Inhibition of 5α-Reductase Activity in SZ95 Sebocytes and HaCaT Keratinocytes In Vitro
The substance MK386 effectively blocked testosterone conversion and reduced cell growth in certain skin cells, but inhibiting 5α-reductase alone may not greatly improve acne.
research Correlation Between Nongenomic Action of C19-Steroids and COVID-19 Severity
Low testosterone may increase COVID-19 severity in men.
research Higher androgen and estrogen output and less follicular atresia can be induced in healthy ovaries by culturing them with sera from PCOS patients: is PCOS really of intraovarian origin?
PCOS may be influenced by factors in the blood, not just the ovaries.
research Suppression of Vitamin D Receptor and Induction of Retinoid X Receptor α Expression During Squamous Differentiation of Cultured Keratinocytes
As skin cells mature, vitamin D receptor levels decrease while retinoid X receptor α levels increase.
research Estimation of Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and Tumor Necrosis Factor–Alpha (TNF-α) Levels Women Diagnosed with Polycystic Syndrome
Women with PCOS have higher levels of DHEA, IL-6, and TNF-α.
