research What Is the Rationale for Androgen Therapy for Women?
Testosterone therapy can help improve mood, sexual function, and bone health in women with low androgen levels, but more research is needed to establish safe and effective guidelines.
research Molecular Genetics of Androgen Insensitivity
Mutations in the androgen receptor gene cause different levels of androgen insensitivity, making it hard to create simple tests for the condition.
research Influence of Dosing Time on the Efficacy and Safety of Finasteride in Rats
Dosing time affects finasteride's effectiveness and safety in rats.
research Male-Pattern Baldness Susceptibility Locus at 20p11
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.
research Estrogen-Dependent Development of Sex Differences in Somatostatin Neurons of the Hypothalamic Periventricular Nucleus
Male rats have more somatostatin neurons than females due to testosterone converting to estrogen during early development.
research Nonclassic Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia: Pathophysiology, Genetics, and Management
Nonclassic congenital adrenal hyperplasia is a genetic disorder causing hormone imbalances, affecting fertility and requiring personalized treatment.
research Becker Nevus of the Face with Asymmetrical Growth of Beard Hair
Certain gene variations may increase the risk of alopecia, and platelet-rich plasma treatment can improve hair density in those with hair loss; a rare case of facial Becker's nevus was linked to uneven beard growth.
research The Role of Nuclear Hormone Receptors in Cutaneous Wound Repair
Nuclear hormone receptors play a significant role in skin wound healing and could lead to better treatment methods.
research Redefining Hormone Resistance in Prostate Cancer
The conclusion suggests that prostate cancer should be classified by castration status and that new therapies targeting androgen receptor signaling show promise.
research A Randomized Trial of Oral DHEA Treatment for Sexual Function, Well-Being, and Menopausal Symptoms in Postmenopausal Women with Low Libido
DHEA did not improve sexual function, well-being, or menopausal symptoms in postmenopausal women with low libido but caused side effects like acne and increased facial hair.
research Female Pattern Hair Loss: A Clinical, Pathophysiologic, and Therapeutic Review
No cure for female pattern hair loss, but various effective treatments exist.
research The Androgen Excess and PCOS Society Criteria for the Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: The Complete Task Force Report
The report concludes that PCOS is mainly a condition of excess male hormones and its definition may change as new information is discovered.
research Relationship Between Betacoronaviruses and the Endocrine System: A New Key to Understand the COVID-19 Pandemic—A Comprehensive Review
Betacoronaviruses, like COVID-19, may cause hormone system dysfunction and affect disease susceptibility and severity.
research The Anti-Androgen Combination, Flutamide Plus Finasteride, Paradoxically Suppressed LH and Androgen Concentrations in Pregnant Spotted Hyenas, but Not in Males
Flutamide and finasteride reduced sex hormones in pregnant hyenas, but increased them in males.
research Androgen Action in the Ovary
Androgens are important for normal ovarian function and estrogen production, but may not be the main cause of follicle death.
research Diagnosis of Hyperandrogenism: Clinical Criteria
The document concludes that hirsutism is the main sign for diagnosing hyperandrogenism, which requires a detailed patient history and physical exam.
research Treatment of Female Sexual Dysfunction in Postmenopausal Women: What Is the Evidence?
Hormonal changes and psychological issues can cause sexual dysfunction in postmenopausal women. Behavioral therapy is recommended first, with hormone replacement helping some symptoms but not libido. Testosterone can improve libido, but its effects on overall sexual function are unclear. Emotional and relationship issues should be addressed before using medication, and the benefits and risks of testosterone supplementation should be considered.
research Graham Little-Piccardi-Lassueur Syndrome Associated with Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome (Testicular Feminization)
A woman had both Graham Little-Piccardi-Lassueur syndrome, causing hair loss, and complete androgen insensitivity syndrome, making her genetically male but physically female. This suggests androgens don't affect the hair loss condition.
research Botanical Treatment for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Some plant-based treatments may help with ovary function, insulin resistance, and excess male hormones in PCOS, but more research is needed to confirm their safety and effectiveness.
research GWAS for Male-Pattern Baldness Identifies 71 Susceptibility Loci Explaining 38% of the Risk
Researchers found 71 genetic regions linked to male pattern baldness, which account for 38% of its genetic risk.
research Regulatory Pathways Implicated in Male Androgenetic Alopecia Pathogenesis
Genes controlling hair growth and immune response are disrupted in male pattern baldness.
research Androgen Receptors And Their Biology
Androgen receptors are key for development and health, affecting conditions like prostate cancer and male pattern baldness.
research Scalp Biophysical Characteristics in Males with Androgenetic Alopecia: A Comparative Study with Healthy Controls
Men with androgenetic alopecia have oilier and less hydrated scalps, especially in sensitive areas.
research Potential Adverse Effects of Long-Term Testosterone Therapy
Long-term testosterone therapy can cause hormone suppression, affect prostate and heart health, and alter physical characteristics, but does not increase prostate cancer risk and needs more research for full risk assessment.
research Prostate-Sparing Effects in Primates of the Potent Androgen 7α-Methyl-19-Nortestosterone: A Potential Alternative to Testosterone for Androgen Replacement and Male Contraception
MENT could be a better option than testosterone for male hormone therapy and birth control because it works well at lower doses and has fewer side effects on the prostate.
research What Causes Hidradenitis Suppurativa?—15 Years After
Hidradenitis suppurativa is caused by genetic factors, inflammation, bacteria, hormones, and lifestyle factors like obesity and smoking.
research Regulation of Masculinization: Androgen Signaling for External Genitalia Development
Male genital development is driven by androgen signaling and understanding it could help address congenital anomalies.
research Antiandrogen Treatment with Spironolactone and Linestrenol Decreases Bone Mineral Density in Eumenorrhoeic Women with Androgen Excess
