Certain pesticides and fungicides can interfere with male hormone functions, potentially causing reproductive issues in male rats.

Certain gene variants may contribute to high androgen levels in women with polycystic ovary syndrome.

Certain genetic variations are linked to increased androgen levels in PCOS, but more research is needed to understand these connections fully.

Two enzymes regulate androgen receptor activity, affecting treatments for androgen insufficiency and benign prostatic hyperplasia.

Cytokines and neuropeptides are key in controlling androgen levels, affecting skin and hair conditions.

Hormonal male contraception is effective and could be market-ready, but more research is needed to ensure safety for all ethnic groups.

Testosterone therapy helps boys with hormone deficiencies develop normal male characteristics and grow properly.

The document concludes that treating female hair loss should target reducing excess androgen and blocking its effects on hair follicles, with the best treatments being hormonal therapy, adrenal suppression, and topical minoxidil.

Chromosomal differences affect how muscle cells respond to testosterone.

Hyperthyroidism can hide signs of high androgen levels in females.

Excessive hair growth in women, often from high androgen levels, is usually caused by PCOS, and can be treated with hair removal, medication, and possibly weight loss.

Human sebaceous glands contain enzymes that affect androgen production and may influence sebum production and acne.

PSA can help diagnose high androgen levels in women.

Insulin resistance and high male hormone levels are major causes of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.

Antiandrogen therapies are beneficial for treating skin and hair conditions related to androgen levels.

Cyproterone acetate is used to treat conditions like prostate cancer, early puberty, excessive sexual drive, and female androgenization by affecting androgen functions and suppressing certain hormones.

PCOS is a complex condition with major health impacts, needing more research for better diagnosis and treatment.

Cyproterone acetate is effective for acne but less so for hirsutism and alopecia, with some side effects and quick menstrual cycle recovery after treatment.

Testosterone may slow down wound healing and increase inflammation.

Certain hormone treatments can improve acne and related conditions in women.
