Early NAS level changes affect alcohol consumption vulnerability.
research Androgen‐inducible TGF‐β1 from balding dermal papilla cells inhibits epithelial cell growth: a clue to understanding paradoxical effects of androgen on human hair growth
Androgens may cause hair loss by increasing TGF-beta1 from scalp cells, which inhibits hair cell growth.
research Finasteride induced depression: a prospective study
Finasteride may cause slight depression and anxiety.
research Evidence of increased DNA methylation of the androgen receptor gene in occipital hair follicles from men with androgenetic alopecia
Men with hair loss have more DNA changes in back-of-head hair follicles, possibly protecting them from thinning.
research Androgens trigger different growth responses in genetically identical human hair follicles in organ culture that reflect their epigenetic diversity in life
Male hormones cause different growth in identical human hair follicles due to their unique epigenetic characteristics.
research The influence of obesity on Androstenedione to Testosterone ratio in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and hyperandrogenemia
Obesity changes androgen levels in women with PCOS, leading to higher testosterone relative to androstenedione.
research Inhibition of 5α Reductase Impairs Cognitive Performance, Alters Dendritic Morphology and Increases Tau Phosphorylation in the Hippocampus of Male 3xTg-AD Mice
Blocking 5α-reductase can harm memory and brain structure, and increase harmful brain changes in male mice used for Alzheimer's disease research.
research Androgen replacement therapy in women
Androgen replacement therapy can improve libido and mood in women with severe androgen deficiency, but more research is needed on its long-term safety.
research Androgen effects on the skin
Androgens like testosterone affect skin health and can lead to conditions such as acne and hair loss, with various treatments available.
research (Neuro-)endocrinology of epithelial hair follicle stem cells
Hormones and neuroendocrine factors control hair growth and color, and more research could lead to new hair treatment options.
research Intratumoral De Novo Steroid Synthesis Activates Androgen Receptor in Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer and Is Upregulated by Treatment with CYP17A1 Inhibitors
Prostate cancer cells can make their own androgens to activate the androgen receptor, and treatments like abiraterone may increase this ability, suggesting new therapies should target the entire steroid-making pathway.
research Androgens and hair growth
Androgens can both increase and decrease hair growth in different parts of the body.
research Effect of estrogens on skin aging and the potential role of SERMs
Estrogens help reduce skin aging, and SERMs might offer similar benefits without the risks of hormone therapy.
research Hormonal regulation of hair follicles exhibits a biological paradox
Androgens can both stimulate and cause hair loss, and understanding their effects is key to treating hair disorders.

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 Androgen excess: Investigations and management
The conclusion is that managing androgen excess requires long-term treatment, including hormonal contraceptives and androgen blockers, with follow-up after six months.
research Minoxidil: mechanisms of action on hair growth
Minoxidil boosts hair growth by opening potassium channels and increasing cell activity.
research The pathophysiology of polycystic ovary syndrome
Insulin resistance is a key factor in polycystic ovary syndrome, but genetics may also contribute.
research Adverse health effects of androgen use
Using anabolic androgenic steroids can cause serious, lasting health problems in many parts of the body.
