Antiandrogens like flutamide are effective in treating conditions like prostate cancer and hair loss, but there's a need for more potent versions. Understanding their structure can help develop better treatments.

New targets for making and using brain-synthesized steroids could lead to better treatments for brain disorders and alcoholism.

New genes and pathways are important for testosterone production and male sexual development.

Different types of androgens bind differently to two receptors, AR1 and AR2, in Atlantic croaker's brain and ovarian tissues, suggesting these receptors may control different androgen actions in fish.

DHT, a testosterone byproduct, causes male pattern baldness.

New methods to make oxasteroids show promise for medical treatments like osteoporosis and breast cancer.

Androgens like testosterone are important hormones for both men and women, made differently in each sex and affecting the body by regulating genes and quick interactions with cell components.

Minoxidil boosts enzymes that help hair growth.

Women with female pattern hair loss have higher levels of certain androgens, suggesting increased androgen exposure to hair follicles.

Birth control pills help treat skin and hair growth problems linked to high male hormone levels.

DHEA acts like a male hormone on rat skin glands and doesn't turn into female hormones there.

Testosterone and some of its forms can strongly stimulate oil gland growth in skin.

Korean and Caucasian men with male pattern baldness have different hair steroid levels.

Finasteride reduces testosterone conversion, progesterone lessens this, and levamisole enhances finasteride's effect.

The document concludes that early diagnosis is key for treating common baldness in women, but reassurance is often the best approach as hair thinning can be a normal part of aging.

Genetic defects in testosterone production can cause hormonal and developmental disorders, and more research is needed to understand androgen regulation and develop safer treatments.

The study created a new method to test drugs that affect hormone processing in skin.

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

Excess androgens may cause PCOS, not just be a symptom.

δ-GABAA receptors affect alcohol consumption based on the estrous cycle and influence movement regardless of the cycle.

Lack or blocking of SRD5a, a key component in hormone creation, can lead to conditions like pseudohermaphrodism and affect hair growth, bone mass, muscle strength, and reproductive health. More research is needed on its regulation from fertilization to adulthood.

The structure of SRD5A reveals how it reduces steroids, aiding drug design for related health conditions.

Certain gene variations are linked to a higher risk of severe acne, suggesting a genetic influence on the condition.

Hormonal treatment is effective for women with acne not helped by usual treatments, especially if they have hormonal imbalances.

Certain inhibitors can potentially treat prostate cancer and other hormone-dependent conditions by controlling sex hormone levels in cells.

Hair growth is influenced by factors like genetics and nutrition, and more research is needed to understand hair loss and growth mechanisms.

Puberty often causes skin issues like acne and excessive sweating, and treatments require patience as results may vary.

Finasteride treats enlarged prostate and hair loss, but may cause side effects in some patients.

Certain gene variants may contribute to high androgen levels in women with polycystic ovary syndrome.
