Research
240-270 / 1000+ resultsresearch A systematic review of antiandrogens and feminization in transgender women
Some antiandrogens may lower testosterone better than others, but it's unclear which is best for feminization in transgender women; more research is needed.
research The role of androgen therapy
Androgens, male hormones, play a role in both men and women's health, and testosterone therapy can help women with low levels, but it's not suitable for pregnant or lactating women, or those with certain conditions.
research Simultaneous quantitation of nine hydroxy-androgens and their conjugates in human serum by stable isotope dilution liquid chromatography electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry
A new method accurately measures nine specific hormones in human blood.
research Disruptors of Androgen Action and Synthesis
Certain pesticides and fungicides can interfere with male hormone functions, potentially causing reproductive issues in male rats.
research Effects of finasteride on steroid production and gene expression in male fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas) and medaka (Oryzias latipes)
Finasteride reduces DHT levels and affects gene expression in fish, similar to its effects in humans.
research Local synthesis and effect of sex steroids in human skin and the hair follicle and hormonal effects on the wound healing response
Local estrogen synthesis in skin may improve wound healing.
research Androgen insufficiency in women: diagnostic and therapeutic implications
Testosterone replacement can help women with low libido and mood, but they need to have enough estrogen first to avoid side effects.
research Androgen metabolism in hirsute patients treated with cyproterone acetate
Cyproterone acetate effectively reduced hair growth in hirsute patients by lowering androgen levels and altering androgen metabolism.
research Clinical biochemistry of dihydrotestosterone
Understanding how DHT works is important for diagnosing and treating hormone-related disorders.
research A high-performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry assay of the androgenic neurosteroid 3α-androstanediol (5α-androstane-3α,17β-diol) in plasma
Testosterone increases 3α-androstanediol levels, which can be blocked by finasteride.
research Development of a new gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) methodology for the evaluation of 5α-reductase activity
A new method was developed to accurately measure enzyme activity related to prostate health.
research The influence of long-term treatment with cyproterone acetate or a cyproterone acetate-ethinyl oestradiol combination on androgen levels in blood of hirsute women
Both treatments reduced androgen levels and hair growth in women with hirsutism.
research Analysis of hair steroid hormone concentrations at different parts of the head by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry
Hormone levels in hair vary across the head, with the highest concentration of a key hormone linked to hair loss at the top.
research GPRC6A-Duox1 Axis Regulates the Hair Cycle Through H2O2 Generation
The GPRC6A-Duox1 axis helps control hair growth and loss by affecting hydrogen peroxide production.
research 17b-Estradiol is Abundant in Skin and Regulates the Hair Follicle Cycle and Mirex Tumor Promotion
17b-Estradiol in skin affects hair growth and tumor promotion.
research Male pseudohermaphroditism due to 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase deficiency: Studies on the natural history of the defect and effect of androgens on gender role
Individuals with this condition often develop male traits and identities at puberty despite being raised as females.
research The Mechanisms and Management of Age-Related Oxidative Stress in Male Hypogonadism Associated with Non-communicable Chronic Disease
Managing oxidative stress might help treat low testosterone and related chronic diseases in aging men.
research The Search for the Causes of Common Hyperandrogenism, 1965 to Circa 2015
Significant progress was made in understanding androgen excess disorders, but much is still unknown.
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 Sulforaphane-Rich Broccoli Sprout Extract Promotes Hair Regrowth in an Androgenetic Alopecia Mouse Model via Enhanced Dihydrotestosterone Metabolism
Broccoli sprout extract may help regrow hair by improving hormone metabolism.
research Current Guidelines for Diagnosing PCOS
The guidelines suggest reconsidering PCOS criteria for better diagnosis and care.
research The human skin as a hormone target and an endocrine gland
Human skin acts like a hormone-producing organ, making and managing various hormones important for skin and hair health.
research Adverse effects of 5α-reductase inhibitors: What do we know, don’t know, and need to know?
5α-reductase inhibitors may cause persistent sexual dysfunction and depression, needing more research on long-term effects.
research Hormonal Effects on Hair Follicles
Hormones like testosterone and estrogen significantly affect hair growth and structure.
research Adverse Effects Associated with Long-Term Administration of Azole Antifungal Agents
Long-term use of azole antifungals can cause hair loss, hormonal imbalances, and severe skin reactions.
research Management of Sexual Dysfunction in Postmenopausal Breast Cancer Patients Taking Adjuvant Aromatase Inhibitor Therapy
Non-hormonal treatments should be used first for sexual dysfunction in postmenopausal breast cancer patients on aromatase inhibitors, with hormones as a second option.
research The skin as an endocrine organ
The skin produces and processes hormones, affecting both local and overall body functions.
research Androgens and ovarian function: translation from basic discovery research to clinical impact
Androgens are important for female fertility and could help in IVF treatment, but also play a role in causing PCOS.
research Actions of 5α-reductase inhibitors on the epididymis
5α-reductase inhibitors may reduce male fertility and could be used for male contraception.
