research Clinical and endocrine characteristics of the main polycystic ovary syndrome phenotypes
Different types of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) have varying severity, with Type I being the most severe and common.
research Polymorphisms of the Androgen Receptor Gene and the Estrogen Receptor β Gene Are Associated with Androgen Levels in Women1
Certain genetic variations in the AR and ERβ genes can affect androgen levels in women.
research 5α-Reductase type 2 gene variant associations with prostate cancer risk, circulating hormone levels and androgenetic alopecia
A49T gene variant linked to higher prostate cancer risk, lower hormone levels, and slightly reduced balding risk.
research A prospective randomized trial comparing finasteride to spironolactone in the treatment of hirsute women.
Finasteride and spironolactone both reduce hirsutism, but finasteride lowers androgen levels more.
research Characteristics of Men Who Report Persistent Sexual Symptoms After Finasteride Use for Hair Loss
Finasteride for hair loss may cause persistent sexual symptoms, depression, anxiety, and lower quality of life.
research Assessment of the usefulness of dihydrotestosterone in the diagnostics of patients with androgenetic alopecia
DHT's role in hair loss is important, but measuring its level for diagnosis is questionable.
research Dutasteride reduces alcohol’s sedative effects in men in a human laboratory setting and reduces drinking in the natural environment
Dutasteride makes alcohol less sedating and may lead to less drinking in men.
research Apocrine sweat gland obstruction by antiperspirants allowing transdermal absorption of cutaneous generated hormones and pheromones as a link to the observed incidence rates of breast and prostate cancer in the 20th century
The document suggests that blocking sweat glands with antiperspirants might allow skin-generated hormones to be absorbed, possibly increasing breast and prostate cancer risk.
research Oral Contraceptives as Anti-Androgenic Treatment of Acne
Birth control pills can help reduce mild to moderate acne in women.
research In vitro selective inhibition of human UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) 1A4 by finasteride, and prediction of in vivo drug–drug interactions
Finasteride affects UGT1A4 enzyme, but not enough to cause issues when combined with other drugs.
research The direct inhibitory effect of dutasteride or finasteride on androgen receptor activity is cell line specific
Dutasteride and finasteride affect different cell types differently.
research Simultaneous determination of androgens and prostaglandins in human urine using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry
Researchers developed a reliable way to measure hormones in urine, showing that a baldness treatment doesn't change hormone levels.
research Comparison of Finasteride, Metformin, and Finasteride Plus Metformin in PCOS
Finasteride and metformin both help treat PCOS, but using them together works best.
research 5α-Reductase type 2 gene variant associations with prostate cancer risk, circulating hormone levels and androgenetic alopecia
Gene variant linked to prostate cancer, hormone levels, and hair loss.
research 5α-Reductase Inhibitors in the Treatment of Androgenetic Alopecia
Finasteride improves hair growth in men with androgenetic alopecia.
research Female pattern hair loss
Hair loss in women is genetic, diagnosed by examination and biopsy, and treated with minoxidil, finasteride, or transplantation.
research ANDROGEN METABOLISM AS IT AFFECTS HAIR GROWTH IN ANDROGENETIC ALOPECIA
Androgens, like DHT, affect hair growth and treatments like finasteride may help.
research Hirsutism: Diagnosis and Treatment
The document concludes that hirsutism can be managed with various treatments tailored to the individual, potentially improving quality of life.
research Women with clinically significant hirsutism always have detectable endocrinological abnormalities
All women with significant unwanted hair growth have hormonal imbalances, often from polycystic ovary syndrome.
research Flutamide was more effective than finasteride for idiopathic hirsutism
Flutamide worked better than finasteride for reducing excessive hair growth in women, but had more side effects.
research Women with clinically significant hirsutism always have detectable endocrinological abnormalities
Most women with excessive hair growth have a hormonal cause.
research Finasteride
Finasteride helps hair growth and prostate issues but may cause sexual side effects and increase tumor risk.
research Skin steroidogenesis in health and disease
The skin's ability to produce hormones is linked to various skin conditions, and better understanding this process could lead to new treatments.

A new method can almost perfectly distinguish adenomyosis from similar conditions using blood tests.
research Antibody-Capped Mesoporous Nanoscopic Materials: Design of a Probe for the Selective Chromo-Fluorogenic Detection of Finasteride
Probe detects finasteride with high selectivity and low detection limit.
research Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays for doping control of 5α-reductase inhibitors finasteride and dutasteride
New tests detect finasteride and dutasteride in urine quickly and easily.
research Is dehydroepiandrosterone a hormone?
Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is a prohormone important for producing sex steroids and has potential health benefits.
research Abdominal Fat Quantity and Distribution in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and Extent of Its Relation to Insulin Resistance
Women with PCOS often have more belly fat and higher insulin levels, but belly fat isn't the only cause of their insulin resistance.
