Higher DHT in male baldness may protect against prostate cancer.
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 Androgens downregulate BMP2 impairing the inductive role of dermal papilla cells on hair follicle stem cells differentiation
Androgens reduce BMP2, which weakens the ability of certain cells to help hair stem cells become different types of cells.
research Glioblastoma cells express crucial enzymes involved in androgen synthesis: 3β‐hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, 17‐20α‐hydroxylase, 17β‐hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase and 5α‐reductase
Glioblastoma cells can make androgens, which might help the tumor grow.
research Exogenous testosterone, finasteride and castration effects on testosterone, insulin, zinc and chromium in adult male rats.
Testosterone and finasteride raise insulin and zinc, lower chromium in male rats.
research Androgen Receptor Ligands: Agonists and Antagonists
Different substances that activate or block the androgen receptor can affect male development and treat conditions like prostate cancer.
research Compendium of polycystic ovarian syndrome and its relevance in glycation and diabetes
PCOS is linked to diabetes and insulin resistance, and managing AGEs may help treat related symptoms.
research Female Antiandrogens
Antiandrogens can treat female hormonal conditions, but environmental ones may harm reproductive health.
research Endocrine Disorders and Infertility
