NcoA4 may have roles beyond helping control gene activity, possibly affecting cell behavior and stability.

Sex hormones affect hair and feather growth and may help manage alopecia and hormone-dependent cancers.

Finasteride can cause enlarged breasts.

The enzyme type 1 5α-reductase is more active in the hair follicle's lower part than in the skin's outer layer.

Testosterone therapy can help women with androgen deficiency by improving energy, sex drive, and bone health with few side effects.

Finasteride blocks progesterone production in specific tumor cells, potentially causing side effects.

Cytokines and neuropeptides are key in controlling androgen levels, affecting skin and hair conditions.

Finasteride treatment changes brain steroid levels and receptors, affecting brain function even after stopping treatment.

Steroid sulfatase is important for activating hormones that affect memory, brain function, and certain diseases, and could be a target for treating hormone-related disorders.

Hirsutism is common body hair growth due to genetics and hormones, and while not a disease, it can be distressing; virilisation includes hirsutism with other male traits and needs medical attention.

Testosterone replacement may help postmenopausal women with sexual function and bone density, but suitable treatments are limited.

Male androgenetic alopecia involves hair follicle miniaturization due to DHT, with potential treatments using inhibitors and blockers.

Coumarin derivatives show promise as anti-estrogenic agents for treating breast cancer, with some in clinical trials.

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.

Hair loss in Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is due to altered cell sensitivity to hormones, not increased hormone levels. Hair growth periods shorten over time, causing hair to become thinner and shorter. This is linked to miscommunication between cell pathways in hair follicles. There's also a change in gene expression related to blood vessels and cell growth in balding hair follicles. The exact molecular causes of AGA are still unclear.
