research The Case of the Elusive Androgen
The patient's high testosterone was reduced by a medication that suppresses gonadotropin.
research Markers of peripheral androgen action in vivo and in vitro
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is crucial for conditions like male-pattern baldness and acne, and measuring a byproduct, androstanediol glucuronide, is a better way to assess DHT's effects than DHT blood levels.
research Selective androgen receptor modulators: a critical appraisal
SARMs show promise but need more evidence to prove they're better than traditional androgens.
research Is dehydroepiandrosterone a hormone?
Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is a prohormone important for producing sex steroids and has potential health benefits.
research 12 Treatment of hirsutism with 5α-reductase inhibitors
New compounds may soon be tested to treat excessive hair growth in women.
research Estimating the Contribution of the Prostate to Blood Dihydrotestosterone
The normal human prostate does not significantly affect blood DHT levels.
research Side gland of Suncus murinus as a new model of sebaceous gland: 5?-reductase, androgen receptor, and nuclear androgen content in male and female animals
The side gland of Suncus murinus is a good model for studying human sebaceous glands.
research Simultaneous pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic analysis of 5α-reductase inhibitors and androgens by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry
The method effectively measures drug impact on DHT levels in prostate treatments.
research LACK OF EFFECT OF OESTROGENS ON ADRENAL ANDROGEN SECRETION IN CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS WITH A COMMENT ON OESTROGENS AND PUBIC HAIR GROWTH
Oestrogen does not affect adrenal androgen levels in children and adolescents.
research MANAGEMENT OF ENDOCRINE DISEASE Hyperandrogenic states in women: pitfalls in laboratory diagnosis
Diagnosing hyperandrogenism in women is complex and requires accurate testing methods and consideration of SHBG levels.
research Design, Synthesis, and Biological Characterization of Metabolically Stable Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators
Researchers developed new compounds that target the androgen receptor effectively with fewer side effects.
research Non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia
Non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia is a common disorder causing symptoms like acne and infertility, and it's managed based on symptoms, not just test results. Treatment can improve fertility and reduce miscarriage risk.
research Influence of estrogens on the androgen metabolism in different subunits of human hair follicles.
Estrogens can reduce DHT production in hair follicles, but are less effective than finasteride and progesterone.
research Necrosis of the donor site after hair restoration with follicular unit extraction (FUE): A case report
A patient had skin tissue death at the hair removal site after a hair transplant, which was treated with surgery.
research Cardiac and Renal SARS-CoV-2 Viral Entry Protein Regulation by Androgens and Diet: Implications for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and COVID-19
Androgens and a high-fat diet may increase the risk of severe COVID-19 in women with PCOS by upregulating certain proteins in the heart and kidneys.
research Intracrine and Myotrophic Roles of 5α-Reductase and Androgens
Muscles can make their own androgens, which may help muscle growth.
research Selective androgen receptor modulators (SARMs) have specific impacts on the mouse uterus
GTx-024 and Danazol affect the uterus like DHT, while GTx-007 has little impact.
research Gender Differences in Production and Circulating Levels of Sex Hormones and Their Impact on Aging Skin
Men and women experience skin aging differently due to changes in sex hormone levels with age.
research The antiandrogen enzalutamide downregulates TMPRSS2 and reduces cellular entry of SARS-CoV-2 in human lung cells
The drug enzalutamide may reduce the ability of the virus causing COVID-19 to enter lung cells.
research Effects of androgen on extracellular vesicles from endothelial cells in rat penile corpus cavernosum
Low androgen levels reduce nitric oxide production in rat penile cells.
research Estrogen and androgen signaling in the pathogenesis of BPH
Hormonal interactions, especially involving DHT and estrogen, play a key role in BPH development and treatment.
research Non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency revisited: an update with a special focus on adolescent and adult women
The update highlights that non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia is common in women with excess male hormones, requires specific hormone tests for diagnosis, and has various treatment options depending on age and symptoms.
research Immunohistochemical Evaluation of Androgen Receptor and Nerve Structure Density in Human Prepuce from Patients with Persistent Sexual Side Effects after Finasteride Use for Androgenetic Alopecia
Finasteride, a hair loss drug, may cause long-term sexual side effects due to changes in hormone receptor levels.
research Characteristics of flutamide action on prostatic and testicular functions in the rat
Flutamide combined with an LHRH agonist effectively inhibits prostate growth, suggesting it could treat prostate cancer.
research Relationship between betacoronaviruses and the endocrine system: a new key to understand the COVID-19 pandemic—A comprehensive review
Betacoronaviruses, like COVID-19, may cause hormone system dysfunction and affect disease susceptibility and severity.
research Circulating and intraprostatic sex steroid hormonal profiles in relation to male pattern baldness and chest hair density among men diagnosed with localized prostate cancers
Baldness in men with prostate cancer is linked to higher levels of certain sex hormones, but chest hair density is not.
research TMPRSS2: A Key Host Factor in SARS-CoV-2 Infection and Potential Therapeutic Target
