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.

Bald men may have a lower risk of testicular cancer.

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

Researchers found a new gene area linked to male-pattern baldness, which, along with another gene, significantly increases the risk of hair loss in men.

Metformin taken during pregnancy increases SHBG in newborns but doesn't change other hormone levels in mothers or babies.

Finasteride helps treat hair loss by blocking enzyme activity.

Hormonal treatments can help with acne but are not the first choice due to side effects and the need for careful patient selection.

High androgen levels in Chinese women with PCOS are linked to a higher risk of diabetes and obesity.

Male pattern baldness is an unintended side effect of the body's use of androgens for muscle growth, especially in those genetically prone to it.

Certain gene variations are linked to better memory in healthy Chinese women.

Androgens are important for normal ovarian function and estrogen production, but may not be the main cause of follicle death.

Certain inhibitors can potentially treat prostate cancer and other hormone-dependent conditions by controlling sex hormone levels in cells.

Androgens increase a growth factor in hair cells by creating reactive oxygen species, and antioxidants might help treat hair loss.

The workshop highlighted the genetic links and psychological impacts of hair loss and skin disorders.

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

Exposure to plastics may increase the risk of irregular menstrual cycles and symptoms of hormone imbalance in teenage girls.

Pumpkin seed products may help improve prostate and bladder health by blocking certain enzymes and hormone receptors.

Androgen receptors found in monkey scalps, similar to humans, affect hair growth.

Active oxygen scavengers can reverse the suppression of hair cell growth caused by androgens.

Mouse hair cells respond to male hormones by growing less, and this can be stopped by certain blockers.

Male pattern baldness might have evolved to help protect against prostate cancer by increasing UV radiation on the scalp.

PCOS is a common hormonal disorder in women that can affect skin, fertility, and metabolism, and treatment is tailored to individual needs.

Most women referred for excess male hormone symptoms had polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), with other conditions being less common.

PCOS is caused by both genetics and environmental factors like diet and obesity.

The protein ARA70/ELE1 is involved in male pattern baldness, and lower levels of its short form may lead to hair thinning.

Spironolactone did not make hair thinner in women with excess hair growth.

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.

Anti-androgens are effective for female acne but less so for male-pattern hair loss, with side effects similar to birth control pills.

Muscles can make their own androgens, which may help muscle growth.

Metformin works better for adolescent girls with PCOS who have certain genetic variations.
