Research
90-120 / 1000+ results research Disruptors of Androgen Action and Synthesis
Certain pesticides and fungicides can interfere with male hormone functions, potentially causing reproductive issues in male rats.
research The Mechanisms of Anabolic Steroids, Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators, and Myostatin Inhibitors
Anabolic steroids boost muscle growth, SARMs increase muscle mass and bone density without side effects, and myostatin inhibitors block a protein that stops muscle growth, but each has potential risks.
research Intracrine Androgen Biosynthesis, Metabolism, and Action Revisited
The document concludes that blocking the internal pathways that create androgens might help treat cancers that depend on sex hormones.
research Cultured Human Skin Fibroblasts: A Model for the Study of Androgen Action
research Balding Hair Follicle Dermal Papilla Cells Contain Higher Levels of Androgen Receptors Than Those From Non-Balding Scalp
Cells from balding scalps have more androgen receptors than cells from non-balding scalps.
research The Distribution of Estrogen Receptor Beta Is Distinct to That of Estrogen Receptor Alpha and the Androgen Receptor in Human Skin and the Pilosebaceous Unit
Estrogen Receptor ß (ERß) is the main hormone controller in human skin and hair follicles, not Estrogen Receptor α (ERα) or the Androgen Receptor (AR).
research Androgen Regulation of a Specific Gene in Hamster Flank Organs
Male hormones control a specific gene in hamster skin, with different hormones having varying effects.
research The Promoter of an Androgen Dependent Gene in the Hamster Flank Organ
Researchers found a gene in hamsters that responds to male hormones and may be indirectly controlled by them.
research Non-Competitive Androgen Receptor Inhibition In Vitro And In Vivo
Two new compounds can block androgen receptor activity in different ways and may lead to new treatments for androgen-related diseases.
research Androgen Replacement in Women: A Commentary
Testosterone replacement may help some postmenopausal women with symptoms like fatigue and low libido, but more research is needed to fully understand its effects.
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 Modulation of Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling in Androgenetic Alopecia
Androgens may block hair growth signals, targeting this could treat hair loss.
research Regulation of Androgen Receptor and 5α-Reductase in the Skin of Normal and Hirsute Women
The exact cause of increased 5α-reductase activity leading to hirsutism in women is still unknown.
research Recent Advances in Drug Design and Drug Discovery for Androgen-Dependent Diseases
New treatments for prostate cancer and BPH show promise, including novel compounds that target hormone synthesis and response.
research Androgen Excess: A Hallmark of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Excess androgens may cause PCOS, not just be a symptom.
research Hormonal Treatment for Skin Androgen-Related Disorders
Hormonal treatments can help with hair loss, acne, and excess hair growth, but it takes 3-6 months to see results and patients should know the possible side effects.
research Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators Negatively Regulate Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Growth and Epithelial-Mesenchymal Stem Cell Signaling
SARMs may be an effective treatment for a certain type of breast cancer by blocking cancer growth and spread.
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 Androgens and Alopecia
Male hormones, particularly DHT, are linked to male pattern hair loss, and treatments like finasteride can help, but they don't work for postmenopausal women's hair loss, which may have different causes.
research Molecular Epidemiology of Hypospadias: Review of Genetic and Environmental Risk Factors
Both genes and environmental factors like chemicals may contribute to the increase in hypospadias, but the exact causes are still unclear.
research The Antiandrogenic Effect of Finasteride Against a Mutant Androgen Receptor
Finasteride may improve prostate cancer treatment outcomes.
