research The Promoter of an Androgen Dependent Gene in the Hamster Flank Organ
Researchers found a gene in hamsters that responds to male hormones and may be indirectly controlled by them.
research Evaluation of the 5α-Reductase Inhibitor Finasteride on Reproduction and Gonadal Development in Medaka, Oryzias Latipes
Finasteride negatively affects fish reproduction and gonadal development.
research Acne-Associated Syndromes
Acne is linked to inflammation and insulin resistance, and is associated with various syndromes that require different treatments.
research Pathogenesis of Androgenetic Alopecia
Androgenetic alopecia, or hair loss, is caused by a mix of genetics, hormones, and environment, where testosterone affects hair growth and causes hair to become smaller and grow for a shorter time.
research Polygonum Multiflorum Extract Supports Hair Growth by Elongating Anagen Phase and Abrogating the Effect of Androgen in Cultured Human Dermal Papilla Cells
Polygonum multiflorum extract helps hair grow longer and fights the effects of hormones that cause hair loss.
research Screening of Euphorbiaceae Plant Extracts for Anti-5α-Reductase Activity
Phyllanthus urinaria extract may help treat hair loss by blocking a hair-related enzyme.
research Antiandrogens and Androgen Inhibitors in Dermatologic Treatments
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.

Spironolactone may help enlarge a small breast linked to Becker's nevus.
research Androgen Receptors And Their Biology
Androgen receptors are key for development and health, affecting conditions like prostate cancer and male pattern baldness.
research Immunocytochemical Localization of Androgen Receptors in the Scalp of the Stumptail Macaque Monkey, a Model of Androgenetic Alopecia
Androgen receptors found in monkey scalps, similar to humans, affect hair growth.
research Immuno-Endocrinology of COVID-19: The Key Role of Sex Hormones
Sex hormones may affect COVID-19 severity, with estrogen possibly reducing risk and testosterone potentially increasing it.
research The Effects of Estrogens on Linear Bone Growth
Estrogens are key for bone growth spurts in both boys and girls and affect growth into adulthood.
research Anti-Androgen Therapy in Dermatology: A Review
Anti-androgens are effective for female acne but less so for male-pattern hair loss, with side effects similar to birth control pills.
research Thyroid Hormones and Androgens Differentially Regulate Gene Expression in Testes and Ovaries of Sexually Mature Silurana Tropicalis
Thyroid hormones and androgens affect gene expression in frog reproductive organs differently between males and females.
research Glucocorticoid Receptor Antagonism Improves Glucose Metabolism in a Mouse Model of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Blocking glucocorticoid receptors improves glucose metabolism in a PCOS mouse model.
research Is Dehydroepiandrosterone a Hormone?
Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is a prohormone important for producing sex steroids and has potential health benefits.
research Intracrine Testosterone Activation in Human Pancreatic Beta-Cells Stimulates Insulin Secretion
Testosterone helps human pancreatic cells increase insulin release.
