research Potential adverse effects of long-term testosterone therapy
Long-term testosterone therapy can cause hormone suppression, affect prostate and heart health, and alter physical characteristics, but does not increase prostate cancer risk and needs more research for full risk assessment.
research Preparation of3H-labelled testosterone metabolites
The conclusion is that tritium-labeled testosterone metabolites can be made and are better converted into dihydrotestosterone in skin cells than in prostate tissue.
research Expression of type 1 5α-reductase and metabolism of testosterone in reconstructed human epidermis (SkinEthic®): a new model for screening skin-targeted androgen modulators

research Effect of testosterone and its antagonists on knee range of motion through RXFP1 and RXFP2 regulation in rat model (911.12)
Testosterone reduces knee movement, while flutamide and finasteride increase it.
research Androgen binding to cytosol and nuclei of hamster sebaceous glands
Dihydrotestosterone specifically binds to hamster sebaceous glands, with a higher affinity than testosterone.
research PCPT Results Could Affect Trial on Testosterone Replacement
The trial on testosterone replacement therapy in older men faced concerns due to prostate cancer risk.
research [Effect of selective 5alpha-reductase inhibitor or/and testosterone undecanoate on the reproductive function of male rats].
Testosterone undecanoate can reduce the negative effects of Finasteride on male reproductive health.
research Effects of Intramuscular Testosterone Undecanoate on Body Composition and Bone Mineral Density in Female-to-Male Transsexuals
Testosterone undecanoate increases lean mass and causes various physical changes in female-to-male transsexuals.
research Stereocontrolled synthesis of all eight stereoisomers of the putative anti-androgen cyoctol
Scientists made all eight versions of a compound called cyoctol, but found it's not an anti-androgen and it fully breaks down in the skin.
research Synthesis and Pharmacological Evaluation of New 16-Methyl Pregnane Derivatives.
