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 Giant Cells in Male Pattern Alopecia: A Histologic Marker and Pathogenetic Clue
Giant cells found in some male pattern baldness cases may help diagnose it and suggest hair is mistakenly seen as foreign by the body.
research Ovarian and Adrenal Venous Catheterization for Hyperandrogenism
Venous catheterization may help diagnose the cause of female hyperandrogenism when imaging is unclear.
research Lack of a Gonadal or Adrenal Androgenic Mechanism for the Hypertrichosis Produced by Diazoxide, Phenytoin, and Minoxidil
These drugs cause hair growth without affecting testosterone or adrenal hormones.
research Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and Its Impact on Health
PCOS affects women's health by increasing the risk of diabetes, heart disease, and reproductive issues.
research Metabolic Study of Androsta-1,4,6-Triene-3,17-Dione in Horses Using Liquid Chromatography/High Resolution Mass Spectrometry
The study found that urine metabolites M1b or M4 are the best indicators of ATD use in horses, with detection possible up to 77 hours in urine and 28 hours in blood.
research The Development of BRL 7660 as an Anti-Acne Agent
BRL 7660, once studied for male contraception, showed promise as an acne treatment but was not developed further due to competing drugs.
research The Antiandrogen Enzalutamide Downregulates TMPRSS2 and Reduces Cellular Entry of SARS-CoV-2 in Human Lung Cells
The drug enzalutamide may reduce the ability of the virus causing COVID-19 to enter lung cells.
research In Vivo and In Vitro Exposure to Free Fatty Acids Induce Increased Androgen Production in Animal Models: A Potential Pathogenic Factor of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Free fatty acids may increase androgen production, potentially contributing to polycystic ovary syndrome.
research Limits of Visual Detection for Finasteride Polymorphs in Prepared Binary Mixtures: Analysis by X-ray Powder Diffraction
research Hair Cycle and Alopecia X in Dogs
Alopecia X in dogs is a cosmetic issue, not a hormonal disorder, and harmful treatments should be avoided.
research In Vitro and In Vivo Effects of 17β-N-(4-Phenylcarbamoyl) Androst-4-en-3-one Derivatives as 5α-Reductase Inhibitors on Androgen-Dependent Glands
Three compounds were found to inhibit a prostate disease-related enzyme and reduce prostate size more effectively than the current treatment, suggesting they could be used for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia.
research New Approach to 3-Oxo-4-Aza-5α-Androst-1-Ene-17β-(N-Tert-Butylcarboxamide)
A new method was developed to make finasteride for treating hair loss.
