research Female Antiandrogens
Antiandrogens can treat female hormonal conditions, but environmental ones may harm reproductive health.
research Androgen receptor gene polymorphism and biological age markers in men
AR gene variations don't affect aging markers in men.
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 Male gonadal function in coeliac disease: 2. Sex hormones.
Men with coeliac disease may have hormone imbalances that could affect sexual function, but these can improve with better gut health.
research Insights learned from L457(3.43)R, an activating mutant of the human lutropin receptor
The L457(3.43)R mutation in the human lutropin receptor causes increased activity and hormone insensitivity, leading to precocious puberty.
research Kinetic analysis of LY320236: competitive inhibitor of type I and non-competitive inhibitor of type II human steroid 5α-reductase
LY320236 is a strong blocker of two enzymes that change testosterone into dihydrotestosterone and might help treat conditions related to male hormones.
research Maternal androgen excess inhibits fetal cardiomyocytes proliferation through RB-mediated cell cycle arrest and induces cardiac hypertrophy in adulthood
Excess maternal androgens can cause heart problems in offspring.
research 37-Year-Old Man With Fatigue and Erectile Dysfunction
The man's fatigue and erectile dysfunction were improved by treating his obesity-related low testosterone without needing testosterone replacement.
research Treatment of hirsutism by finasteride and flutamide in women with polycystic ovary syndrome
Finasteride and flutamide effectively reduce hirsutism in PCOS women, with flutamide also lowering hormone levels.
research Linking diet to acne metabolomics, inflammation, and comedogenesis: an update
Eating less sugar, milk, and saturated fats and more vegetables and fish may help treat and prevent acne.
research Androgen antagonists in androgen target tissues
Antiandrogens have important biological effects, but more research is needed to understand them fully and compare their effectiveness and side effects to other treatments.
research Acne
Acne is a common skin condition linked to diet, hormones, and genetics, and early treatment can prevent scarring.
research The biology and clinical application of systemic glucocorticoids
Glucocorticoids are powerful anti-inflammatory drugs that must be used carefully to avoid serious side effects.
research Sexual Hormones in Human Skin
Human skin makes sexual hormones that affect hair growth, skin health, and healing; too much can cause acne and hair loss, while treatments can manage these conditions.
research Clinical Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Finasteride
Finasteride helps regrow hair and shrink prostate by reducing DHT, with some sexual side effects.
research Sex-specific Difference of Hippocampal Synaptic Plasticity in Response to Sex Neurosteroids
Sex neurosteroids cause different effects on hippocampal synaptic plasticity in males and females.
research Therapeutic Approach to Androgenetic Alopecia
Treatments for hair loss include hormone modifiers, minoxidil, and hair transplant surgery.
research Regulatory roles of androgens in cutaneous wound healing
Testosterone may slow down wound healing and increase inflammation.
research The Effects of Androgens on T Cells: Clues to Female Predominance in Autoimmune Liver Diseases?
Androgens may influence T cells, contributing to higher autoimmune liver disease risk in women.
research Effects of dihydrotestosterone on rat dermal papilla cells in vitro
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) doesn't affect rat skin cell growth, but it does change cell cycle, protein levels, and other cell functions, potentially shortening hair growth cycle.
research Gonadal Sex Steroids: Production, Action and Interactions in Mammals
The document concludes that sex hormones are crucial for mammalian reproduction, health, and behavior, and require more research for therapeutic use.
research Endocrinology Overview RSS
The document explains how male reproductive hormones work and affect the body.
research Neurosteroidogenesis Today: Novel Targets for Neuroactive Steroid Synthesis and Action and Their Relevance for Translational Research
New targets for making and using brain-synthesized steroids could lead to better treatments for brain disorders and alcoholism.
research 5α‐Reductase Isozymes and Androgen Actions in the Prostate
5α‐reductase isozymes are crucial for prostate development and health, and targeting them can help prevent and treat prostate issues.
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 Microneedles mediated bioinspired lipid nanocarriers for targeted treatment of alopecia
A new hair loss treatment uses tiny needles to deliver a drug-loaded lipid carrier, promoting hair growth more effectively than current treatments.
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.
