research Clinical Utility of GnRH Analogues in Female Androgen Excess: Highlighting Diagnostic and Therapeutic Applications
This case series observed the efficacy of GnRH analogues in diagnosing and treating various forms of ovarian hyperandrogenism, illustrating their role in symptom management without surgery, particularly for benign conditions and refractory androgen excess.
research Androgen excess: a hallmark of polycystic ovary syndrome
This review explores the role of hyperandrogenism, including adrenal-derived 11-oxygenated androgen, in the development of polycystic ovarian syndrome and discusses potential therapeutic strategies targeting androgen excess, without reporting new clinical results.
research Maternal androgen excess significantly impairs sexual behavior in male and female mouse offspring: Perspective for a biological origin of sexual dysfunction in PCOS
In this study, prenatal androgen exposure was linked to altered sexual behaviors in both male and female mice, with specific effects on mounting and lordosis behaviors.
research Criteria for Defining Polycystic Ovary Syndrome as a Predominantly Hyperandrogenic Syndrome: An Androgen Excess Society Guideline
This review discusses definitions of polycystic ovary syndrome and reports no new clinical results; the authors support using modified 1990 NIH criteria and acknowledge ongoing evolution as research advances.

5 / 300 resultscommunity Has anyone tried Matrixyl 3000 topically for hair growth?
Matrixyl 3000 is discussed as a potential topical treatment for hair growth, but concerns are raised about excess collagen production being a consequence of hair loss. The conversation suggests that androgen-induced miniaturization leads to hair follicle death and skin fibrosis.
community Fluridil degrades the androgen receptor.
Fluridil degrades androgen receptors, which are prevalent in the scalp and other tissues. People with androgenetic alopecia (AGA) may have higher expression of these receptors and 5AR activity in affected scalp areas.
community Bicalutamide effect on androgens?
Bicalutamide blocks androgen receptors, preventing testosterone and DHT from binding, which can help with hair loss but may cause feminization. It is not recommended for those who do not want feminization effects.
community Having androgen receptor density and sensitivity at wrong f*ing place
The conversation discusses hair loss treatments, focusing on the use of topical minoxidil, microneedling, finasteride, and dutasteride, while debating the role of testosterone and DHT in hair loss. It also touches on the potential liver health impacts of these treatments and the genetic sensitivity of hair follicles to androgens.
community What happens to the excess testosterone after using dut?
Using dutasteride or finasteride can increase free testosterone, which may convert to estradiol, potentially causing side effects like increased estrogen levels. Individual responses vary, and some users report changes in cholesterol, hair texture, and side effects like gyno or increased sex drive.
