DHT in the human prostate is produced through multiple pathways, not just from testosterone.

Post-finasteride Syndrome causes lasting negative effects, but more research is needed for treatment and risk evaluation.

Skin problems in PCOS, like excess hair, acne, and hair loss, may not always indicate high male hormone levels and need careful diagnosis for proper treatment.

5α-reductase inhibitors can cause serious and possibly lasting sexual and psychological side effects.

Androgen suppression therapy (AST) doesn't significantly lower bladder cancer risk, but using finasteride, a type of AST, might decrease the risk. AST also lessens the chance of cancer coming back but doesn't really affect survival rates. More research is needed to understand AST's benefits for different bladder cancers.

ERβ has potential in treating prostate cancer and neurodegenerative diseases, but human studies are needed before clinical use.

The Rotterdam Study aims to understand disease causes in the elderly and has found new risk factors and genetic influences on various conditions.

Smoking is linked to more hair loss and premature graying compared to nonsmokers.

Testosterone and dihydrotestosterone have similar effects on body composition and metabolic health in men.

Normal levels of DHT can reduce belly fat and increase muscle, but too much can lead to hair loss, prostate issues, and possibly heart disease.

Different skin cells process testosterone differently, and certain drugs can change this process, possibly helping treat acne and hair loss.

Use minoxidil for hair loss; finasteride and dutasteride for men, dutasteride for women.

Eating high-glycemic and dairy foods can increase hormones that may cause acne and other health issues.

A yeast-based test can detect the steroid methyltestosterone in urine longer than traditional methods.

Interferons are effective for some skin conditions and cancers, but can have side effects and need more research for optimal use.

Sex hormones, especially androgens, play a key role in causing acne.

Some people experience lasting sexual, psychological, and sleep problems after using finasteride or SSRI antidepressants, possibly due to similar underlying causes.

Testosterone may slow down wound healing and increase inflammation.

PFS and PSSD are similar conditions with persistent sexual dysfunction after stopping medication.

Finasteride effectively lowers specific hormone levels, helping monitor treatment progress.

Bolandiol, a synthetic steroid, builds muscle and bone without greatly affecting sex glands, and works differently from other hormones.

5-alpha reductase inhibitors slightly increase the risk of sexual and mood side effects, and breast growth in men.

Rice husk and bran extracts from the Bue Bang 3 CMU variety can potentially treat hair loss due to their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-androgenic properties.

Spironolactone reduces the enzyme activity that converts testosterone to DHT, helping treat excessive hair growth in women.

Dihydrotestosterone can be made from dehydroepiandrosterone in skin cells without needing testosterone.

Finasteride almost fully depletes allopregnanolone in rat brains and enhances 20α-DHP, but doesn't change 3α-DHP levels.

Some newly made compounds can block an enzyme linked to hair loss and prostate growth, with one in particular being very selective.

The bark of Myrica rubra contains compounds that can block testosterone effects and might help prevent hair loss.

Compound 15a was effective in inhibiting 5α-reductase.

COVID-19 might worsen symptoms and progression of benign prostatic hyperplasia, possibly due to inflammation and metabolic disturbances in the prostate gland. More research is needed to confirm this.
