research Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Phenotypes and Infertility Treatment
Different PCOS types respond uniquely to infertility treatments, with some having lower pregnancy rates and higher risks of complications.
research Approach to Investigation of Hyperandrogenism in a Postmenopausal Woman
Postmenopausal hyperandrogenism, a condition with symptoms like increased hair growth and acne, is usually caused by PCOS but can also be due to other factors. It's diagnosed by checking testosterone levels and treated either by removing the adrenal tumor or through antiandrogen therapy.
research A Rare Case of Adolescent Girl with Beard-PCOS with a Difference: “HAIR-AN Syndrome”
A 16-year-old girl with HAIR-AN syndrome was treated with lifestyle changes and medications to manage her condition.
research Targeting the pre-receptor metabolism of cortisol as a novel therapy in obesity and diabetes
Blocking a specific enzyme might help treat obesity and diabetes, but more research is needed to ensure it's safe.
research Effects of the anti-androgen finasteride on 5alpha-reductase activity in human gingival fibroblasts in response to minocycline
Finasteride helps treat hair loss by blocking enzyme activity.
research Relative binding affinity of novel steroids to androgen receptors in hamster prostate
New steroids were effective in blocking male hormone receptors in hamster prostates.
research Treatment of Female Androgenetic Alopecia With Cimetidine
A drug called cimetidine can help treat hair loss in women by blocking androgen receptors. However, it's not the first choice and needs more research.
research Titrated extract ofCentella asiaticaincreases hair inductive property through inhibition of STAT signaling pathway in three-dimensional spheroid cultured human dermal papilla cells
Centella asiatica extract may help promote hair growth by blocking a specific cell signaling pathway.

research Effect of C-ring modifications in benzo[c]quinolizin-3-ones, new selective inhibitors of human 5α-reductase 1
Changing the C-ring structure in certain compounds can make them better at blocking a specific human enzyme.
research Interconnected PolymerS TeChnology (IPSTiC): An Effective Approach for the Modulation of 5α-Reductase Activity in Hair Loss Conditions
A new anti-baldness patch effectively treats hair loss by blocking enzymes linked to the condition.
research Red Ginseng Extract Promotes the Hair Growth in Cultured Human Hair Follicles
Red Ginseng Extract may help human hair grow by activating growth pathways and blocking negative effects of certain hormones.
research Androgenic Alopecia
The document concludes that treating female hair loss should target reducing excess androgen and blocking its effects on hair follicles, with the best treatments being hormonal therapy, adrenal suppression, and topical minoxidil.
research Acne
Hormonal treatments can help with acne, especially in women, by lowering androgen levels or blocking their effects.
research COMBINATION OF AN ANTIANDROGEN AND A 5α-REDUCTASE INHIBITOR: A FURTHER STEP TOWARDS TOTAL ANDROGEN BLOCKADE?
Using two drugs together, Flutamide and 4-MA, is more effective for blocking male hormones than using each one alone.
research The Promoting Effect of Ishige sinicola on Hair Growth
Ishige sinicola, a type of seaweed, may help hair grow by blocking a hair loss-related enzyme and boosting important cell growth.
research New Nonsteroidal Molecules as Blockers of the Steroidogenic Pathway
New nonsteroidal molecules can potentially increase dihydrotestosterone in neurons by blocking certain enzymes, without affecting prostate and seminal vesicle weight.
research Intracrine androgen biosynthesis, metabolism and action revisited
The document concludes that blocking the internal pathways that create androgens might help treat cancers that depend on sex hormones.
research Inhibition of 17α-hydroxylase/C17,20 lyase reduces gating deficits consequent to dopaminergic activation
Blocking CYP17A1 enzyme may help improve certain brain function issues related to dopamine.
research Natural phenylethanoid glycoside forsythoside A alleviates androgenetic alopecia by selectively inhibiting TRPV3 channels in mice
Forsythoside A may help treat hair loss by blocking specific channels.
research Cyanidin-3-O-glucoside and its derivative vitisin A alleviate androgenetic alopecia by exerting anti-androgen effect and inhibiting dermal papilla cell apoptosis
C3G and Vitisin A may help prevent hair loss by blocking male hormones and stopping hair cell death.
research Use of Antiandrogens as Therapeutic Agents in COVID-19 Patients
Antiandrogens may help prevent or treat COVID-19 by blocking virus entry into cells.
research Progenic hair regrowth treatment- The use of platelet-released growth factors for treating androgenetic alopecia (AGA) by activating hair follicle stem cells
