research Androgen Effects on the Skin
Androgens like testosterone affect skin health and can lead to conditions such as acne and hair loss, with various treatments available.
research Steroid 5α-Reductase as a Novel Therapeutic Target for Schizophrenia and Other Neuropsychiatric Disorders
S5αR inhibitors might help treat schizophrenia and other mental disorders but need more research.
research Androgens and Hair Growth
Androgens can both increase and decrease hair growth in different parts of the body.
research Development of Prostate Cancer in a Patient with Primary Hypogonadism: Intratumoral Steroidogenesis in Prostate Cancer Tissues
Prostate cancer can progress even with low testosterone due to internal hormone production in the tumor.
research Human Androgenic Steroids Affect Growth of Dermatophytes In Vitro
Androgenic steroids can slow down or stop the growth of certain skin fungi.
research Hormonal Effects on Hair Follicles
Hormones like testosterone and estrogen significantly affect hair growth and structure.
research Expression of mRNA for Androgen Receptor, 5α-Reductase, and 17β-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase in Human Dermal Papilla Cells
Hair sensitivity to androgens is partly controlled by specific enzyme expressions in different hair areas.
research Cloning, Expression, and Characterization of Rhesus Macaque Types 1 and 2 5alpha-Reductase: Evidence for Mechanism-Based Inhibition by Finasteride
Finasteride inhibits enzyme activity in rhesus macaques, suggesting they're useful for evaluating similar drugs.
research Androgen Conjugates: Physiology and Clinical Significance
Androgen conjugates might be better indicators of skin sensitivity to hormones in women with excessive hair growth.
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 5α-Reductase Activity in the Human Hair Follicle Concentrates in the Dermal Papilla
The enzyme that changes testosterone to a stronger form is mostly found in the part of the hair follicle called the dermal papilla.
research Elevated Serum Androstenedione Is Associated With a More Severe Phenotype in Women With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Higher androstenedione levels in women with PCOS are linked to more severe symptoms.
research Biosynthesis of Dihydrotestosterone by a Pathway That Does Not Require Testosterone as an Intermediate in the SZ95 Sebaceous Gland Cell Line
Dihydrotestosterone can be made from dehydroepiandrosterone in skin cells without needing testosterone.
research Testicular Steroidogenesis: Production and Regulation of Testosterone and Dihydrotestosterone
Genetic defects in testosterone production can cause hormonal and developmental disorders, and more research is needed to understand androgen regulation and develop safer treatments.
research Treatment of Hirsutism with 5α-Reductase Inhibitors
New compounds may soon be tested to treat excessive hair growth in women.
research Early Embryonic Exposure of Freshwater Gastropods to Pharmaceutical 5-Alpha-Reductase Inhibitors Results in a Surprising Open-Coiled 'Banana-Shaped' Shell
Certain drugs change freshwater snail shells to a "banana" shape.
research 5α-Reductase Inhibitors: Progress and Therapeutic Potential
5α-reductase inhibitors help treat disorders caused by DHT and have potential for future therapies.
research Effects of the Anti-Androgen Finasteride on 5α-Reduction of Androgens in the Presence of Progesterone in Human Gingival Fibroblasts: Modulatory Actions of the Alkaline Phosphatase Inhibitor Levamisole
Finasteride reduces testosterone conversion, progesterone lessens this, and levamisole enhances finasteride's effect.
research Intracrine Testosterone Activation in Human Pancreatic Beta-Cells Stimulates Insulin Secretion
Testosterone helps human pancreatic cells increase insulin release.
research Overexpression of Aldo-Keto Reductase 1C3 in LNCaP Cells Diverts Androgen Metabolism Towards Testosterone Resulting in Resistance to the 5α-Reductase Inhibitor Finasteride
Too much AKR1C3 enzyme causes resistance to finasteride by increasing testosterone.
research Urinary Steroids in Men with Male-Pattern Alopecia
Men with male-pattern baldness have higher levels of certain testosterone metabolites and may have more active androgen metabolism.
research Urinary Steroids in Women with Androgenic Alopecia
Women with hair loss had higher levels of certain hormones, suggesting a link to a condition like PCOS.
