Scientists made a sensor that can detect a specific type of RNA related to androgen receptors quickly and accurately.

PF-05314882 selectively activates androgen receptors without much effect on prostate and may help in prostate cancer treatment and hair loss prevention.

Scientists successfully created and analyzed the structure of a part of the human androgen receptor with specific modulators and a peptide to understand how it binds differently in various tissues.

Androgen therapy might help some women with low libido, but it has risks and should be used carefully.

The mouse models are effective for testing new hair loss treatments.

Excess androgens may cause PCOS, not just be a symptom.

Androgens and androgen receptors are important for metabolic health, affecting how the body uses glucose and fats through mitochondrial function.

Antiandrogens and androgen inhibitors like spironolactone, finasteride, and dutasteride can treat hair loss and skin conditions, but they have risks and side effects, including potential harm to pregnant women and risks of cancer and heart issues. Herbal remedies also have antiandrogenic effects but lack safety validation.

A postmenopausal woman's facial redness, acne, and excess hair were caused by too much hormone therapy for insomnia, but improved after stopping the treatment.

Mutations in the androgen receptor gene cause different levels of androgen insensitivity, making it hard to create simple tests for the condition.

Gene mutations can cause problems in male genital development.

The research found that androgens help control blood flow in the rat prostate through a specific binding site.

TGF-β1 from dermal papilla cells suppresses hair growth, and targeting it may help treat androgenetic alopecia.

Finasteride effectively reduces hair loss by decreasing androgen levels.

High afamin levels are linked to metabolic syndrome and may predict its development in women with insulin resistance.

Women with polycystic ovary syndrome tend to have a longer anogenital distance.

Testosterone therapy may slightly improve sexual function in postmenopausal women, but its long-term safety is unknown.

For women with moderate to severe unwanted hair growth or acne, birth control pills are the first choice, with other medications like cyproterone, spironolactone, flutamide, or finasteride as alternatives, and permanent hair removal should be done with electrolysis or laser.

The conclusion is that removing both ovaries is the best treatment for excess male hormones in postmenopausal women, with medication as another option, and managing insulin resistance is important for diagnosis and treatment.

Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators (SARMs) are drugs that can control the effects of androgens in different tissues, potentially having fewer side effects and promising for treating various conditions.

Surgery to lower high testosterone in postmenopausal women with certain ovarian tumors doesn't significantly affect their metabolism.

DHT is a strong androgen that may pose less risk to the prostate compared to testosterone.

Hair can be used to measure cancer-related chemicals noninvasively.

Finasteride reduces testosterone conversion, progesterone lessens this, and levamisole enhances finasteride's effect.

Anti-androgens are safe and effective for treating moderate to severe adult female acne.

Androgens may worsen COVID-19 and hair loss could indicate the disease's severity.

DHT reduces a cell's ability to promote hair growth, while 3D culture without DHT improves it.

Using anabolic androgenic steroids can cause serious, lasting health problems in many parts of the body.

Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is crucial for conditions like male-pattern baldness and acne, and measuring a byproduct, androstanediol glucuronide, is a better way to assess DHT's effects than DHT blood levels.

The new compound was more effective than finasteride in reducing markers of hair loss and prostate issues in cell tests.
