180-210 / 1000+ results research Androgen biosynthetic pathways in the human prostate
DHT in the human prostate is produced through multiple pathways, not just from testosterone.
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 The skin as an endocrine organ
The skin produces and processes hormones, affecting both local and overall body functions.
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 “Sebocytes’ makeup” - Novel mechanisms and concepts in the physiology of the human sebaceous glands
Hormones and signaling pathways control sebaceous gland function and could help treat acne.
research Specific morphogenetic events in mouse external genitalia sex differentiation are responsive/dependent upon androgens and/or estrogens
Mouse genital development depends on male or female hormones for specific features.
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 Ovarian sex steroid receptors and sex hormones in androgenized rats
High doses of nandrolone decanoate disrupt ovarian hormones and receptors in rats, with recovery only at lower doses and longer recovery times.
research Distribution of Body Hair in Young Australian Women and Associations With Serum Androgen Concentrations
More body hair in young Australian women is linked to higher androstenedione levels.
research Beneficial effects of pumpkin seed oil as a topical hair growth promoting agent in a mice model.
Pumpkin seed oil may help hair grow and could be an alternative treatment for male hair loss.
research Lipid Profile and 5α-Reductase Inhibition Activity of Proprietary Ultrahigh-Pressure Supercritical Carbon Dioxide and Hexane Saw Palmetto Extracts
UHP-sCESr is as effective as HESr for treating BPH symptoms.
research Adrenal and Gonadal Activity, Androgen Concentrations, and Adult Height Outcomes in Boys With Silver-Russell Syndrome
Higher androgen levels during puberty are linked to shorter adult height in boys with Silver-Russell syndrome.
research Xiaozhi Yufa decoction ameliorates androgenetic alopecia through inhibition of MAPK signaling and regulation of lipid metabolism
Xiaozhi Yufa decoction may help treat hair loss by improving hair growth and reducing inflammation.
research Cross-kingdom delivery and putative gene modulation of androgen pathways by plant-derived exosome-like nanoparticles from polygoni multiflori radix promotes hair growth via miRNA cargo
Plant-derived nanoparticles from Polygoni Multiflori Radix promote hair growth better than Minoxidil by affecting androgen pathways.
research The effect of platelet-derived growth factor-aa (PDGFA) conjugated with low-molecular-weight protamine (LMWP) on hair loss improvement effect
LMWP-PDGFA shows promise for improving hair health and treating hair loss with fewer side effects.
research Dihydrotestosterone induces arterial stiffening in female mice
Dihydrotestosterone makes arteries stiffer in female mice by reducing estrogen receptor expression.
research Black phosphorus nanosheets encapsulated microneedle for multifunctional therapy for androgenic alopecia
A new treatment using microneedles with black phosphorus and laser helps regrow hair effectively and safely.
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 Determination of rat 5α-reductase type 1 isozyme activity and its inhibition by novel steroidal oxazolines
New steroidal compounds moderately block an enzyme related to testosterone conversion, less effectively than finasteride.
