research AN ATTEMPT TO ASSESS THE MAGNITUDE OF ENDOGENOUS ANDROGEN PRODUCTION IN A CASE OF THE ADRENOGENITAL SYNDROME*
A 17-year-old female with adrenogenital syndrome produces very high levels of androgens, which prevent complete feminization despite high estrogen doses.
research Aromatase-independent testosterone conversion into estrogenic steroids is inhibited by a 5α-reductase inhibitor
Combining 5α-reductase and aromatase inhibitors may better reduce estrogen levels.
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 The Function of 5α-reductase in Related Diseases
5α-reductase enzyme affects hormone levels, influencing conditions like acne and hair loss.
research Epitestosterone
Epitestosterone may counteract testosterone's effects and has roles in body processes like prostate growth and hair distribution.
research Localization of sex steroid receptors in human skin.
Sex steroid receptors are found in specific skin cells, affecting skin and hair functions.
research Structural basis for the catalysis and inhibition of human steroid 5α‐reductase 2
The research gives new understanding on how human steroid 5α-reductases work and how drugs like finasteride inhibit them, which could help in creating new drugs.
research Activity of steroid 4 and derivatives 4a–4f as inhibitors of the enzyme 5α-reductase 1
Compounds 4, 4b, and 4c effectively inhibit an enzyme linked to testosterone conversion without significant toxicity.
research AKR1D1 regulates glucocorticoid availability and glucocorticoid receptor activation in human hepatoma cells
AKR1D1 controls glucocorticoid levels and receptor activity in liver cells.
research Bound on the Risk for M-SVMs
The enzyme system in hair follicles is similar to the liver's and is inhibited by certain substances.
research Epitestosterone—an endogenous antiandrogen?
Epitestosterone may act as a weak antiandrogen and can inhibit an enzyme involved in testosterone metabolism.
research The promoter of an androgen dependent gene in the hamster flank organ
Researchers found a gene in hamsters that responds to male hormones and may be indirectly controlled by them.
research [Skin cells as steroid target; the steroid action in some skin diseases and wound healing].
Steroids affect skin health and healing, offering new treatment options.
research Neurosteroidogenesis Is Required for the Physiological Response to Stress: Role of Neurosteroid-Sensitive GABAAReceptors
Neurosteroids are crucial for stress response, and targeting specific receptors may help treat certain disorders.
research Androgen regulation of a specific gene in hamster flank organs
Male hormones control a specific gene in hamster skin, with different hormones having varying effects.
research Species Differences in Prostatic Steroid 5α-Reductases of Rat, Dog, and Human
Different animals have unique versions of the enzyme that changes testosterone into another hormone, which is important for creating effective treatments for prostate and hair loss conditions.
research Defects in Androgen Biosynthesis Causing 46,XY Disorders of Sexual Development
Genetic defects in androgen production are linked to male developmental disorders and are improving treatment understanding.
research 892 Behavior of the two circulating androgens testosterone and DHEA and their main intracellular metabolites in an androgen-sensitive sebocyte cell line
