Male rats grow hair faster than females, and certain hormones can slow or slightly increase hair growth, but not significantly beyond natural rates.
research Androgen treatment of postmenopausal women
Testosterone therapy can improve sexual desire and function in postmenopausal women but should be used cautiously and not based solely on testosterone levels.
research Discriminating between virilizing ovary tumors and ovary hyperthecosis in postmenopausal women: clinical data, hormonal profiles and image studies
The research found that MRI and certain hormone levels can help tell apart ovarian tumors from hyperthecosis in postmenopausal women, but tissue analysis is still needed for a definite diagnosis.
research Dutasteride in Androgenetic Alopecia: An Update
Dutasteride is becoming a popular hair loss treatment, proving more effective than finasteride with similar side effects.
research The 5α-reductase inhibitor Dutasteride but not Finasteride protects dopamine neurons in the MPTP mouse model of Parkinson’s disease
Dutasteride protects dopamine neurons in Parkinson's mice, but Finasteride doesn't.
research Revisiting hyper- and hypo-androgenism by tandem mass spectrometry
The document concludes that using LC-MS/MS for measuring androgens is more accurate than older methods, but it needs careful validation and standardized references to be most effective.
research In vivo and in vitro effect of novel 4,16-pregnadiene-6,20-dione derivatives, as 5α-reductase inhibitors
The new compounds may be more effective and cheaper than current treatments for conditions like baldness.
