Certain gene variations and irregular X chromosome activity may contribute to hair loss in women who can have children.

The study suggests that a specific gene variation and higher gene activity are linked to increased baldness in Egyptian men.

Key enzymes control androgen levels, affecting hormone activity and potential treatments.

Testosterone affects hair follicles differently across body sites, with beard hair follicles showing more activity of a specific enzyme and presence of androgen receptors compared to scalp hair.

Women with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) have more sexual function issues than those with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), but physical activity can improve sexual functioning in all women.

The authors maintain that shorter androgen receptor alleles may lead to milder COVID-19 by positively affecting the immune response, not due to changes in testosterone levels or activity.

Researchers developed new compounds that target the androgen receptor effectively with fewer side effects.

Beard cells, unlike scalp cells, produce growth factors in response to testosterone, which may explain differences in hair growth.

Men with male-pattern baldness have more androgen receptors in their scalp's oil glands, which may contribute to hair loss.

Antiandrogens may help treat conditions like excessive hair growth, prostate tumors, male baldness, and acne by blocking male hormone effects.

The enzyme 17β-HSD type 2 mainly performs oxidation in human sebaceous glands, which may help protect against acne.

Topical finasteride and flutamide reduce gland size and enzyme activity, with flutamide being more potent, potentially treating acne, seborrhea, hirsutism, and androgenic alopecia.

Common Black hair care products may affect hormone levels and potentially impact health, especially in reproductive and metabolic areas.

CB-03-01 is a promising skin cream for treating hormone-related skin problems without causing harmful body-wide effects.

New steroids were effective in blocking male hormone receptors in hamster prostates.

Birth control pills increase certain receptor activities in female gerbil prostate glands and can lead to prostate changes.

High androgen levels can cause excessive hair growth and may indicate serious health issues, including heart disease and fertility problems.

New A-homo-B, 19-dinor steroids showed strong antiandrogenic activity without affecting the enzyme 5α-reductase or androgen receptor binding.

Adenosine complex helps increase hair thickness and density in hair loss.

New testosterone analogs show promise for male contraception with better activity and potentially fewer side effects.

New compounds with carborane showed anti-androgen effects similar to flutamide.

High proliferative activity and peripheral invasion indicate malignancy in canine sebaceous gland tumors; the term 'epithelioma' should be updated for clarity.

Noni fruit extract, specifically the FEA-3 sub-fraction, can increase hair growth and reduce baldness in male rabbits, potentially acting like common hair loss treatments.

Dihydrotestosterone increases the activity of an enzyme in pubic skin cells that converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone.

The substance MK386 effectively blocked testosterone conversion and reduced cell growth in certain skin cells, but inhibiting 5α-reductase alone may not greatly improve acne.

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

The black orchid Brasiliorchis schunkeana produces chemicals that attract certain insects and have potential antimicrobial properties.

New compounds were made and tested, with compound 6 showing potential for treating prostate-related diseases.

Type 3 5α-reductase is more common and finasteride and dutasteride strongly inhibit it.

The side gland of Suncus murinus is a good model for studying human sebaceous glands.
