research Ovarian and Adrenal Androgens and Their Link to High Human Chorionic Gonadotropin Levels: A Prospective Controlled Study
Women with a certain type of tumor had higher levels of pregnancy hormone and male hormones, which decreased after treatment.
research New Insights Into Testosterone Biosynthesis: Novel Observations From HSD17B3 Deficient Mice
Mice without the enzyme HSD17B3 still produce normal testosterone, suggesting they have different ways to make it compared to humans.
research Testosterone: The Male Sex Hormone
More research is needed to understand how testosterone is maintained in adult males.
research Recent Advances in the Chemistry and Pharmacological Activity of New Steroidal Antiandrogens and 5α-Reductase Inhibitors
New compounds show promise for treating hair loss, enlarged prostate, and prostate cancer, with some being more effective and having different side effects than current treatments.
research In-Silico Studies in Herbal Drugs: A Review
Computational methods can speed up and improve the development and safety of herbal drugs.
research Androgenetic Alopecia: Treatments and Efficacy
Finasteride and minoxidil are effective FDA-approved treatments for androgenetic alopecia.
research Alopecia: Unapproved Treatments or Indications
Many treatments for hair loss lack proper testing and FDA approval, so their effectiveness is uncertain.
research Parenteral and Oral Cyproterone Acetate Treatment in Severe Hirsutism
Cyproterone acetate implants were more effective at reducing facial hair and improving skin in severe hirsutism than oral treatment.
research Improvement in the Inflammatory Aspect of Androgenetic Alopecia: A Pilot Study with an Antimicrobial Lotion
Antimicrobial lotion reduces inflammation and increases hair density in hair loss patients.
research Original Research—Endocrinology: Comparison of the Steady-State Pharmacokinetics, Metabolism, and Variability of a Transdermal Testosterone Patch Versus a Transdermal Testosterone Gel in Hypogonadal Men
The testosterone patch and gel are both effective, but they have different absorption patterns and effects on hormone levels.
research Human Androgenic Steroids Affect Growth of Dermatophytes In Vitro
Androgenic steroids can slow down or stop the growth of certain skin fungi.
research Expression and Functional Relevance of Melatonin Receptors in Hair Follicle Biology
Melatonin receptors in hair follicles help regulate hair growth and could treat hair loss.
research Potential Factors Contributing to Androgenetic Alopecia
Male pattern baldness may be caused by factors like poor blood circulation, scalp tension, stress, and hormonal imbalances, but the exact causes are still unclear.
research Molecular Basis of Maintaining Circannual Rhythm in the Skin of Cashmere Goat
Goat skin changes with the seasons due to genes affected by daylight and hormones.
research Topical Delivery of Atraric Acid Derived From Stereocaulon Japonicum With Enhanced Skin Permeation and Hair Regrowth Activity for Androgenic Alopecia
AA–TF#15 significantly promotes hair regrowth and could be an effective treatment for androgenic alopecia.
research Synthesis and Structure–Activity Studies of Side-Chain Derivatized Arylhydantoins for Investigation as Androgen Receptor Radioligands
The nature of the side chain in RU 58841 derivatives greatly affects its AR affinity, with the N-(iodopropenyl) derivative 13 showing the highest AR binding affinity, suggesting its potential for developing high-affinity radioiodinated AR radioligands.
research Synthesis and Structure–Activity Investigation of Iodinated Arylhydantoins and Arylthiohydantoins for Development as Androgen Receptor Radioligands
Scientists created iodinated arylhydantoins and arylthiohydantoins that could potentially be used for imaging prostate cancer. Some versions with specific side-chains showed high potential for this use.
research Relative Binding Affinity of Novel Steroids to Androgen Receptors in Hamster Prostate
New steroids were effective in blocking male hormone receptors in hamster prostates.
