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.

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

Baldness caused by male hormones in female-to-male transsexuals doesn't increase the risk of heart disease.

Bioengineered nanoparticles can effectively treat hair loss by targeting specific enzymes and receptors.

Hormonal treatments can help with acne, especially in women, by lowering androgen levels or blocking their effects.

Overweight women with PCOS are more likely to have excess male hormones.

Understanding how androgens and their receptors work can lead to improved treatments for skin diseases.

Finasteride in male rats causes liver and metabolic issues in their offspring.

Hormonal interactions, especially involving DHT and estrogen, play a key role in BPH development and treatment.

Antiandrogens affect androgen-dependent body functions and are used for various medical conditions, with some risks like fetus feminization, but new forms like 17α-propylmesterolone show promise for acne without systemic effects.

Finasteride reduces hairiness and androgen levels in women with unexplained excessive hair growth.

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

Androgen hormones cause hair follicle scarring in hair loss, and finasteride helps reduce it.

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

High androgen levels and genetic factors likely cause Becker's nevus and related symptoms.

The document concludes that a systematic approach is crucial to identify causes of androgen excess in women beyond the most common cause, Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

Proscar (finasteride) blocks 5α-reductase in sea urchin ovaries and testes, suggesting potential treatment for androgen-related conditions.

AGA in children needs careful diagnosis due to low androgen levels and possible other causes.

Genetic defects in testosterone production can cause hormonal and developmental disorders, and more research is needed to understand androgen regulation and develop safer treatments.

Two women with very high androgen levels had only slight skin issues, one due to a non-classical adrenal disorder and the other due to an adrenal tumor.

The mouse model suggests male pattern baldness may be due to an enzyme increasing DHT and higher androgen receptor levels in hair follicles.

Hormonal therapy is effective for treating acne in adult women, especially with signs of high androgen levels.

Hirsutism is mainly caused by high androgen levels or sensitivity, with PCOS being the most common cause.

Isotretinoin improves severe acne without changing androgen or insulin levels but may increase body weight and triglycerides.

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

Cyproterone acetate with ethinyl estradiol is effective for treating skin symptoms related to high androgen levels, like in PCOS.

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

3α, 17β-androstanediol-glucuronide is not a useful marker for androgen excess but may help monitor certain treatments.

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.

Male hormones, particularly DHT, are linked to male pattern hair loss, and treatments like finasteride can help, but they don't work for postmenopausal women's hair loss, which may have different causes.
