August 2002 in “Experimental Dermatology” This study found that 17α‐estradiol increases aromatase activity in female hair follicles, which may explain its beneficial effects in treating androgenetic alopecia.
December 2013 in “Estudo Geral (Universidade de Coimbra)” This research investigated the design and synthesis of steroid-based compounds as aromatase inhibitors for breast cancer, finding that certain structural modifications significantly enhance their inhibitory potency.
February 2024 in “Brain research bulletin” This study observed that inhibiting androgenic activity during early postnatal development significantly decreased body weight in female rats by day 90, while affecting food intake and fat distribution in both sexes based on the inhibited testosterone metabolic pathway.
September 2023 in “Biology of reproduction” This study suggests that the testosterone analogs 7α-Methyltestosterone and 7α-Ethyltestosterone may offer promising androgenic, progestogenic, and anabolic properties for development as male contraceptives.
July 2025 in “Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology” This study found that early postnatal androgen activity affects the long-term expression of hormone receptors differently in female Wistar rats, influencing neural system programming during development.
