Testosterone significantly affects sexual desire in both men and women, but its impact on women is more complex and influenced by psychological factors.
research Effects of Subchronic Finasteride Treatment and Withdrawal on Neuroactive Steroid Levels and Their Receptors in the Male Rat Brain
Finasteride treatment changes brain steroid levels and receptors, affecting brain function even after stopping treatment.
research Topical Solutions for Androgenetic Alopecia: Evaluating Efficacy and Safety
Topical treatments for hair loss can be effective but need careful safety evaluation.
research The Hirsute Woman: Challenges in Evaluation and Management
Most hirsutism cases are due to PCOS, and treatment focuses on lowering testosterone and blocking its effects.
research Topical Finasteride: A Comprehensive Review of Androgenetic Alopecia Management for Men and Women
Topical finasteride might be a good alternative for hair loss treatment with fewer side effects, but more research is needed.
research Health Risks Associated with Long-Term Finasteride and Dutasteride Use: It's Time to Sound the Alarm
Long-term use of finasteride and dutasteride can cause serious health issues like diabetes and liver problems.
research Pathogenesis and Causes of Hirsutism
Hirsutism is mainly caused by high androgen levels or sensitivity, with PCOS being the most common cause.
research Exercise Activates the PI3K-AKT Signal Pathway by Decreasing the Expression of 5α-Reductase Type 1 in PCOS Rats
Exercise improves insulin sensitivity and hormone regulation in PCOS rats.
research Effects of 5-Alpha Reductase Inhibitors
5-alpha reductase inhibitors can cause sexual, neurologic, endocrine, and cardiovascular side effects, but these are rare and usually stop after ending treatment.
research Cross-Species Sensitivity to a Novel Androgen Receptor Agonist of Potential Environmental Concern, Spironolactone
Spironolactone harms fish reproduction and is more potent in fish than invertebrates, needing environmental monitoring.
research Development of a Liquid Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry-Based Inhibition Assay for Screening Steroid 5-Alpha Reductase in Human and Fish Cell Lines
A new method was created to test the effectiveness of Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) inhibitors, like finasteride and dutasteride, in human and fish cells. The results showed fish cells are more sensitive to these treatments, and dutasteride works better than finasteride in all tested cells.
research Androgenic Alopecia: Cross-Talk Between Cell Signal Transduction Pathways
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.
research Three-Month Treatment With a Long-Acting Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone Agonist of Patients With Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia: Effects on Tissue Androgen Concentration, 5α-Reductase Activity and Androgen Receptor Content
A three-month treatment with a GnRH agonist significantly lowered androgen levels and 5α-reductase activity in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia.
research The AR/miR-221/IGF-1 Pathway Mediates the Pathogenesis of Androgenetic Alopecia
A specific pathway involving AR, miR-221, and IGF-1 plays a key role in causing common hair loss.
research Post-Finasteride Syndrome: An Underestimated Phenomenon
Finasteride and dutasteride, used for prostate issues and hair loss, can cause side effects like sexual dysfunction and mental issues, which may continue even after stopping the medication, a condition called post-finasteride syndrome, for which there's currently no cure.
research Androgen Actions on the Human Hair Follicle: Perspectives
Androgens have complex effects on hair growth, promoting it in some areas but causing hair loss in others, and our understanding of this is still evolving.
research Effects of Altering Allopregnanolone Levels During Critical Neurodevelopmental Periods on Alcohol Consumption Vulnerability
Early NAS level changes affect alcohol consumption vulnerability.
research Clinical Relevance of Testosterone and Dihydrotestosterone Metabolism in Women
Testosterone and dihydrotestosterone play a role in women's health issues like excess hair and baldness, and treatments blocking these hormones may help.
research What Happens When Simulations Get Real and Cosmetic Dermatology Goes Virtual?
AI and AR are improving cosmetic dermatology but face challenges like data quality and ethical concerns.
research Polycystic Ovary Syndrome in Adolescents
PCOS in teens is hard to diagnose, linked to genetics and lifestyle, and managed with weight loss and medication.
research Androgen Receptor Genetic Variant Predicts COVID-19 Disease Severity: A Prospective Longitudinal Study of Hospitalized COVID-19 Male Patients
