research Intratumoral De Novo Steroid Synthesis Activates Androgen Receptor in Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer and Is Upregulated by Treatment with CYP17A1 Inhibitors
Prostate cancer cells can make their own androgens to activate the androgen receptor, and treatments like abiraterone may increase this ability, suggesting new therapies should target the entire steroid-making pathway.
research Atypical Cushing's Syndrome in Dogs: Arguments For and Against
The cause of atypical Cushing's syndrome in dogs, possibly linked to sex hormones, is not yet proven.
research Is there association between thyroid stimulating hormone levels and the four phenotypes in polycystic ovary syndrome?
Higher thyroid hormone levels may be linked to certain types of polycystic ovary syndrome.
research Resveratrol Ameliorates the Seminiferous Tubules Damages Induced by Finasteride in Adult Male Rats
Resveratrol helps prevent finasteride-induced damage in male rats, improving reproductive function.
research Transcriptomic profiling in Silurana tropicalis testes exposed to finasteride
Finasteride affects frog testes by increasing testosterone, decreasing 5α-DHT, and impacting genes related to reproduction and other functions.
research Green Tea as a Supportive Therapy for PCOS: Evaluating Its Impact on Symptom Relief
Green tea may help relieve PCOS symptoms, but more research is needed.
research Histological and immunohistochemical examination of the effect of the nonsteroidal antiandrogen {flutamide} on some organs of the male reproductive system in albino rats
Flutamide caused damage to male rat reproductive organs and may affect fertility.
research Cutaneous manifestations of polycystic ovary syndrome
Skin problems in PCOS, like excess hair, acne, and hair loss, may not always indicate high male hormone levels and need careful diagnosis for proper treatment.
research Antioxidant enzyme expression of mRNA and protein in the epididymis of finasteride-treated male rat offspring during postnatal development
Finasteride affects offspring's antioxidant enzymes in epididymis, possibly disrupting sperm maturation.
research Chronic progesterone treatment augments while dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate prevents tolerance to ethanol anxiolysis and withdrawal anxiety in rats
Progesterone increases alcohol tolerance and withdrawal anxiety, while DHEAS prevents them.
research Anticonvulsant Activity of Progesterone and Neurosteroids in Progesterone Receptor Knockout Mice
Progesterone's seizure-reducing effects are mainly due to allopregnanolone, not progesterone receptors.
research American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists Medical Guidelines for Clinical Practice for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Hyperandrogenic Disorders
The guidelines help doctors diagnose and treat hormone-related disorders in women.
research Cytochrome P450: A Target for Drug Development for Skin Diseases
Modulating Cytochrome P450 activity could help develop new skin disease treatments.
research Very-long-chain Acyl-CoA Synthetases
Very-long-chain acyl-CoA synthetases and fatty acid transport proteins play key roles in fatty acid metabolism and lipid processing in different tissues.
research Sex hormones and acne
Sex hormones, especially androgens, play a key role in causing acne.
research New Target for Minoxidil in the Treatment of Androgenetic Alopecia
Minoxidil may work for hair loss by reducing androgen sensitivity and altering hormone-related enzymes.
research Mice lacking the epidermal retinol dehydrogenases SDR16C5 and SDR16C6 display accelerated hair growth and enlarged meibomian glands
Mice without certain skin enzymes have faster hair growth and bigger eye glands.
research Association Between Trichoscopic Features and Serum Hormone Levels and Vitamin D Concentration in Patients with Androgenetic Alopecia in Eastern China: A Cross-Sectional Study
Higher SHBG levels are linked to less severe hair loss in women, but vitamin D levels don't seem to affect hair loss.
research Comparative effects of finasteride and minoxidil on the male reproductive organs: A systematic review of in vitro and in vivo evidence
Finasteride is more harmful to male reproductive health than minoxidil.
research Intracrine and Myotrophic Roles of 5α-Reductase and Androgens
Muscles can make their own androgens, which may help muscle growth.
research Sex steroid levels in corresponding cerebrospinal fluid and serum samples quantified by mass spectrometry in men
DHEA is the main sex steroid in cerebrospinal fluid, and testosterone in the fluid comes from the blood.
research The connection of 5-alpha reductase inhibitors to the development of depression
5-alpha reductase inhibitors, like finasteride and dutasteride, may cause depression, but more research is needed to understand why.
research Homeostatic Control of Sebaceous Glands by Innate Lymphoid Cells Regulates Commensal Bacteria Equilibrium
Innate lymphoid cells help control skin bacteria by regulating sebaceous glands.
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 Metabolic Syndrome, Hepatic Steatosis and Testosterone: A Matter of Sex
Sex hormones affect liver fat and metabolic health differently in men and women.
research The Mechanisms of Anabolic Steroids, Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators and Myostatin Inhibitors
Anabolic steroids boost muscle growth, SARMs increase muscle mass and bone density without side effects, and myostatin inhibitors block a protein that stops muscle growth, but each has potential risks.
research Effect of 5-alpha reductase inhibitors in animal models of Parkinson’s disease
5-alpha reductase inhibitors may help protect the brain and gut in Parkinson's disease.
research Daily intake of alfalfa sprouts, but not broccoli sprouts, influence plasma levels of androgen in middle-aged males
Eating alfalfa sprouts every day can raise testosterone levels in middle-aged men, but broccoli sprouts don't have this effect.
research Optimizing Nutrition for PCOS Management: A Comprehensive Guide
