research Balding Hair Follicle Dermal Papilla Cells Contain Higher Levels of Androgen Receptors Than Those From Non-Balding Scalp
Cells from balding scalps have more androgen receptors than cells from non-balding scalps.
research Androgen Receptors And Their Biology
Androgen receptors are key for development and health, affecting conditions like prostate cancer and male pattern baldness.
research Androgen Metabolism in Hirsute Patients Treated with Cyproterone Acetate
Cyproterone acetate effectively reduced hair growth in hirsute patients by lowering androgen levels and altering androgen metabolism.
research Effects of Short-Term Finasteride on Apoptotic Factors and Androgen Receptors in Prostate Cancer Cells
Short-term finasteride treatment may lower some cell death factors in prostate cancer cells.
research The Fibroblast as a Model for Androgen Resistant States
Fibroblasts help understand androgen resistance at the cellular level.
research Estimation of Serum Aldosterone, Free Testosterone, and DHEA-S and Scalp Androgen and Aldosterone Receptors in Female Androgenetic Alopecia: Is the Mystery Solved?
High aldosterone and free testosterone levels link to female hair loss; testing aldosterone may predict hypertension risk.
research Intracrine Androgen Biosynthesis, Metabolism, and Action Revisited
The document concludes that blocking the internal pathways that create androgens might help treat cancers that depend on sex hormones.
research Acne
Hormonal treatments can help with acne, especially in women, by lowering androgen levels or blocking their effects.
research Overexpression of Aldo-Keto Reductase 1C3 in LNCaP Cells Diverts Androgen Metabolism Towards Testosterone Resulting in Resistance to the 5α-Reductase Inhibitor Finasteride
Too much AKR1C3 enzyme causes resistance to finasteride by increasing testosterone.
research Serum Androgens and Genetic Linkage Analysis in Early Onset Androgenetic Alopecia
Early onset hair loss linked to genetics and androgen levels.
research Genetic and Molecular Aspects of Androgenetic Alopecia
Androgenetic alopecia is mainly caused by genetic factors and increased androgen activity, leading to hair follicle miniaturization.
research Treatment of Androgenic Disorders in Women: Acne, Hirsutism, and Alopecia
Androgen excess disorders in women were effectively treated with spironolactone, estrogen, and dexamethasone.
research Testosterone Prevents Cutaneous Ischemia and Necrosis in Males Through Complementary Estrogenic and Androgenic Actions
Testosterone helps prevent skin damage in males by acting through both estrogen and androgen pathways.
research COVID-19, Androgens, and Androgenic Alopecia
COVID-19 may worsen with androgens; anti-androgen drugs could help.
research Moxibustion Improves Ovarian Function Based on the Regulation of the Androgen Balance
Moxibustion may help improve ovarian function by changing androgen levels.
research Supraphysiological Dose of Testosterone Impairs the Expression and Distribution of Sex Steroid Receptors During Endometrial Receptivity Development in Female Sprague-Dawley Rats
High doses of testosterone disrupt hormone levels and receptor expression in the uterus, affecting fertility.
research Mechanisms of Testosterone Action
Testosterone works in different ways, including direct interaction with its receptor, conversion to other hormones for specific effects on genitalia, hair, bones, and muscle, and changes in body fat and sexual function when low.
