research Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, Androgen Excess, and the Risk of Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease in Women: A Longitudinal Study Based on a United Kingdom Primary Care Database
Women with PCOS are more than twice as likely to develop nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.
research Disorders Linked to Insufficient Androgen Action in Male Children
Insufficient androgen action in male fetuses can cause genital development issues due to genetic mutations or environmental chemicals.
research Androgen Receptor-Mediated Inhibition of Cutaneous Wound Healing
Lowering testosterone speeds up wound healing in male mice.
research Androgen Dependence of Hirsutism, Acne, and Alopecia in Women
Hirsutism is more linked to high androgen levels than acne or hair loss, and a mix of hormonal tests is best for diagnosis; certain treatments can reduce symptoms.
research Androgens and Androgen Receptor Action in Skin and Hair Follicles
Male hormones and their receptors play a key role in hair loss and skin health, with potential new treatments being explored.
research Androgen Excess Is the Key Element in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Too much male hormone is the main cause of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.
research Androgen Replacement in Women: A Commentary

research Hair Follicle Stem Cell Differentiation Is Inhibited Through Cross-Talk Between Wnt/β-Catenin and Androgen Signaling in Dermal Papilla Cells From Patients With Androgenetic Alopecia
Androgens block hair growth by disrupting cell signals; targeting GSK-3 may help treat hair loss.
research Spearmint Herbal Tea Has Significant Anti-Androgen Effects in Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Spearmint tea may reduce testosterone and self-reported hair growth in women with PCOS.
research Visualizing Androgen Receptor Activity in Male and Female Mice
Androgen receptors are active in many tissues of both male and female mice, not just reproductive organs.
research Androgen Excess: Investigations and Management
The conclusion is that managing androgen excess requires long-term treatment, including hormonal contraceptives and androgen blockers, with follow-up after six months.
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 Genome-Wide Association Study Identifies a New Locus JMJD1C at 10q21 That May Influence Serum Androgen Levels in Men
A new gene, JMJD1C, may affect testosterone levels in men.
research Androgen Resistance Associated With a Qualitative Abnormality of the Androgen Receptor and Responsive to High Dose Androgen Therapy
High-dose androgen therapy can help manage certain types of androgen resistance.
research The E211 G>A Androgen Receptor Polymorphism Is Associated With a Decreased Risk of Metastatic Prostate Cancer and Androgenetic Alopecia
E211 G>A gene linked to lower risk of severe prostate cancer and hair loss.
research The Transcriptional Co-Activator cAMP Response Element-Binding Protein-Binding Protein Is Expressed in Prostate Cancer and Enhances Androgen- and Anti-Androgen-Induced Androgen Receptor Function
A protein called CBP is found in prostate cancer and can increase the effectiveness of certain prostate cancer treatments.
research Racial Variations in COVID-19 Deaths May Be Due to Androgen Receptor Genetic Variants Associated with Prostate Cancer and Androgenetic Alopecia. Are Anti-Androgens a Potential Treatment for COVID-19?
Genetic differences may affect COVID-19 deaths; anti-androgens could be potential treatment.
research Androgen Profile Through Life in Women With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: A Nordic Multicenter Collaboration Study
Women with PCOS have higher androgen levels that decrease with age but are still higher than in women without PCOS.
research Keratinocyte Growth Inhibition Through the Modification of Wnt Signaling by Androgen in Balding Dermal Papilla Cells
Androgens slow hair growth by altering Wnt signaling in balding cells.
research Prevalence of Functional Disorders of Androgen Excess in Unselected Premenopausal Women: A Study in Blood Donors
Many young women who donate blood have hormonal disorders like excess male hormones and PCOS.
research Revising the Role of the Androgen Receptor in Breast Cancer
The document concludes that targeting the androgen receptor may be a promising breast cancer treatment, especially for certain types.
research A Mutation of the Androgen Receptor Associated with Partial Androgen Resistance, Familial Gynecomastia, and Fertility
A subtle androgen receptor abnormality can allow normal male development and sometimes fertility despite partial androgen resistance.
research The Hair Follicle: A Paradoxical Androgen Target Organ
Androgens can both promote and prevent hair growth due to differences in gene expression in hair follicles.
research Androgen Metabolism in Hirsute Patients Treated with Cyproterone Acetate
Cyproterone acetate effectively reduced hair growth in hirsute patients by lowering androgen levels and altering androgen metabolism.
research Prenatal and Adult Androgen Activities in Alcohol Dependence
Higher prenatal and adult androgen levels are linked to alcohol dependence and withdrawal severity.
