research Finasteride
Finasteride effectively treats baldness but may cause sexual side effects.
research Sex differences in COVID-19: the role of androgens in disease severity and progression
Male hormones like testosterone may make COVID-19 worse, and testing for sensitivity to these hormones could help predict how severe a patient's symptoms might be. Treatments that reduce these hormones are being explored.
research Effects of in Utero Exposure to Finasteride on Androgen-Dependent Reproductive Development in the Male Rat
Exposure to finasteride in the womb caused lasting reproductive issues in male rats.
research Sex differences in SARS-CoV-2 infection rates and the potential link to prostate cancer
Men, especially older ones with health issues like prostate cancer, may have worse COVID-19 outcomes and could benefit from therapies targeting male hormones.
research Androgen receptor–mediated inhibition of cutaneous wound healing
Lowering testosterone speeds up wound healing in male mice.
research Treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Improves Cardiometabolic Function in Young Obese Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Treating sleep apnea in young obese women with PCOS can improve heart health and insulin sensitivity.
research 9 Role of 5α-reductase in health and disease
5α-reductase is essential for male sexual development and its inhibitors have potential in treating various conditions related to hormone action.
research Global Adiposity and Thickness of Intraperitoneal and Mesenteric Adipose Tissue Depots Are Increased in Women With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
Women with PCOS have more body fat and thicker fat layers in certain abdominal areas than women without PCOS.
research Reproductive seasonality and maturation throughout the complete life-cycle in the mouflon ram (Ovis musimon)
Mouflon rams mature gradually with changes in body, horns, and hormones linked to age and seasons, reaching full sexual maturity well after puberty.
research Three-Month Treatment With a Long-Acting Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone Agonist of Patients With Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia: Effects on Tissue Androgen Concentration, 5α-Reductase Activity and Androgen Receptor Content*
A three-month treatment with a GnRH agonist significantly lowered androgen levels and 5α-reductase activity in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia.
research Genome-wide association study identifies a new locus JMJD1C at 10q21 that may influence serum androgen levels in men
A new gene, JMJD1C, may affect testosterone levels in men.
research Diagnosis of hyperandrogenism: Biochemical criteria
The document concludes that accurate measurement of serum androgens is crucial for diagnosing hyperandrogenism.
research Emerging medication for the treatment of male hypogonadism
New treatments for male hypogonadism are effective and should be personalized.
research Comparison of finasteride versus spironolactone in the treatment of idiopathic hirsutism
Finasteride reduces hair growth better, but spironolactone has more side effects.
research Comparison of finasteride versus flutamide in the treatment of hirsutism
Finasteride is a safe, effective treatment for hirsutism with fewer side effects.
research Androgen Profile Through Life in Women With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: A Nordic Multicenter Collaboration Study
Women with PCOS have higher androgen levels that decrease with age but are still higher than in women without PCOS.
research Steroidogenesis of the testis – new genes and pathways
New genes and pathways are important for testosterone production and male sexual development.
research Finasteride: A slow-binding 5.alpha.-reductase inhibitor
Finasteride slowly binds to 5-alpha-reductase, affecting enzyme stability and inhibitor potency.
research Safety and efficacy of topical minoxidil in the management of androgenetic alopecia
Minoxidil helps hair growth and prevents hair loss in androgenetic alopecia. It's safe and effective.
research Androgen receptors and their biology
Androgen receptors are key for development and health, affecting conditions like prostate cancer and male pattern baldness.
research 3α-androstanediol, but not testosterone, attenuates age-related decrements in cognitive, anxiety, and depressive behavior of male rats
3α-androstanediol helps reduce age-related cognitive and mood declines in male rats, unlike testosterone.
research Effect ofCuscuta reflexaRoxb on androgen-induced alopecia
Cuscuta reflexa extract may help treat hair loss caused by hormones.
research HRT for women with premature ovarian insufficiency: a comprehensive review
The review recommends hormone replacement therapy for women with premature ovarian insufficiency to manage symptoms and protect health, with specific approaches for different groups.
research Male sex hormones, aging, and inflammation
Adequate testosterone is crucial for men's health and quality of life, but its decline with age needs more research.
research An Assessment on Impact of COVID-19 Infection in a Gender Specific Manner
Men have higher COVID-19 mortality rates than women due to biological and lifestyle factors.
research Potential targets in the discovery of new hair growth promoters for androgenic alopecia
The document concludes that targeting 5α-reductase, the androgen receptor, and hair growth genes, along with using compounds with anti-androgenic properties, could lead to more effective hair loss treatments.
