research Inhibition of 5α Reductase Impairs Cognitive Performance, Alters Dendritic Morphology and Increases Tau Phosphorylation in the Hippocampus of Male 3xTg-AD Mice
Blocking 5α-reductase can harm memory and brain structure, and increase harmful brain changes in male mice used for Alzheimer's disease research.
research Early embryonic exposure of freshwater gastropods to pharmaceutical 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors results in a surprising open-coiled “banana-shaped” shell
Certain drugs change freshwater snail shells to a "banana" shape.
research Androgen receptor activation integrates complex transcriptional effects in osteoblasts, involving the growth factors TGF-β and IGF-I, and transcription factor C/EBPδ
DHT affects bone growth by altering gene activity in osteoblasts, potentially complicating steroid use.
research Predominant expression of 5 alpha-reductase type 1 in pubic skin from normal subjects and hirsute patients.
The main enzyme found in pubic skin that could be targeted to treat excessive hair growth is 5 alpha-R2.
research The role of androgen therapy
Testosterone therapy can help women with androgen deficiency by improving energy, sex drive, and bone health with few side effects.
research A Case of Familial Male-limited Precocious Puberty with a Novel Mutation
A boy with a rare form of early puberty caused by a new gene mutation responded well to treatment aimed at reducing testosterone and preserving adult height.
research The role of androgens in hormone replacement therapy
Androgen therapy can help with symptoms like low libido in women, but more research is needed to understand its long-term safety and effects on health.
research Androgens and the Menopause
Testosterone replacement may help postmenopausal women with sexual function and bone density, but suitable treatments are limited.
research Anti-androgenetic alopecia effect of policosanol from Chinese wax by regulating abnormal hormone levels to suppress premature hair follicle entry into the regression phase
Policosanol helps treat hair loss by balancing hormones and supporting hair growth.
research The role of pre-operative androgen stimulation in hypospadias surgery.
Pre-operative hormone treatment for hypospadias surgery might improve outcomes, but more research is needed to confirm.
research Impact of Hormones on Female Sexual Function and Dysfunction
Hormones significantly affect women's sexual function, and more research is needed to improve treatments for sexual dysfunction with minimal side effects.
research Formulation Development and Investigations on Therapeutic Potential of Nanogel from Beta vulgaris L. Extract in Testosterone-Induced Alopecia
Beetroot extract nanogel may help treat hair loss caused by testosterone.
research Treatment of female sexual dysfunction in postmenopausal women—What is the evidence?
Hormonal changes and psychological issues can cause sexual dysfunction in postmenopausal women. Behavioral therapy is recommended first, with hormone replacement helping some symptoms but not libido. Testosterone can improve libido, but its effects on overall sexual function are unclear. Emotional and relationship issues should be addressed before using medication, and the benefits and risks of testosterone supplementation should be considered.
research Regulatory Effect of Cannabidiol (CBD) on Decreased β-Catenin Expression in Alopecia Models by Testosterone and PMA Treatment in Dermal Papilla Cells
CBD may help restore hair growth-related protein levels in alopecia caused by hormones or other factors.
research Effect of Carbamates on mRNA Encoding Lipid Enzymes in Hamster Flank Organs
Carbamates may help treat androgen-dependent conditions by changing how certain lipid enzymes are produced.
research Molecular interactions of natural and synthetic steroids in female hamsters’ flank organs
Testosterone, progesterone, and levonorgestrel change enzyme levels related to fat production in hamster skin, which could affect skin oil and acne.
research Tissue Engineering of the Reproductive System
Cell transplantation faces challenges in genitourinary reconstruction, but alternative tissue sources and microencapsulation show promise.
research Clinical Evaluation of Women Presenting with Low Libido and Determination of Whether Androgen Therapy Might Be Appropriate
Androgen therapy might help some women with low libido, but it has risks and should be used carefully.
research Understanding the Secular Decline in Testosterone: Mechanisms, Consequences, and Clinical Perspectives
Lifestyle changes and environmental strategies can help address declining testosterone levels.
research Novel prospectives of shikimic acid and Prunus mume extract for enhancing bioactivity on 5α-reductase and stability in cosmetic patches for acne treatment
Combining shikimic acid and Prunus mume extract may effectively treat acne naturally.
research Menopause in Women, Andropause in Men: Myth, Reality, and Management
Menopause is a clear hormonal transition in women, while men experience a gradual testosterone decline, with some needing lifestyle changes and targeted therapy.

2-deoxy-D-ribose gel may help regrow hair in cases of hair loss.
research Sex-Chromosome-Related Dimorphism in Steroidogenic Enzymes and Androgen Receptor in Response to Testosterone Treatment: An In Vitro Study on Human Primary Skeletal Muscle Cells
Chromosomal differences affect how muscle cells respond to testosterone.
research The effect of finasteride on the male rat brain
Finasteride affects the male rat brain by reducing certain protein activation, but these effects may reverse after stopping the drug.
