research Basics of Androgen Synthesis and Action
Androgens like testosterone are important hormones for both men and women, made differently in each sex and affecting the body by regulating genes and quick interactions with cell components.
research Investigation, Treatment, and Monitoring of Late-Onset Hypogonadism in Males: ISA, ISSAM, and EAU Recommendations
Testosterone treatment for older men can have short-term benefits, but long-term risks are unclear, requiring careful evaluation and monitoring.
research Ornithine Decarboxylase Is Upregulated by the Androgen Receptor in Skeletal Muscle and Regulates Myoblast Proliferation
Androgens increase muscle mass by promoting myoblast growth through ornithine decarboxylase.
research Oral Testosterone in Oil: Pharmacokinetic Effects of 5α-Reduction by Finasteride or Dutasteride and Food Intake in Men
Taking oral testosterone with finasteride or dutasteride doubles testosterone levels, and food slightly affects it.
research Gonadal Dysgenesis and Bone Metabolism
Gonadal dysgenesis, like Turner's and Klinefelter's syndromes, negatively affects bone health, but hormone treatments can help.
research A Pharmacogenetic Survey of Androgen Receptor (CAG)N and (GGN)N Polymorphisms in Patients Experiencing Long-Term Side Effects After Finasteride Discontinuation
Longer CAG and GGN repeats increase alopecia risk, but no significant link to post-finasteride syndrome found.
research Bone vs. Fat: Embryonic Origin of Progenitors Determines Response to Androgen in Adipocytes and Osteoblasts
Androgens affect bone and fat cell development differently based on the cells' embryonic origin.
research Androgen Receptor in Human Health: A Potential Therapeutic Target
The Androgen Receptor could be a target for treating diseases like cancer, but more research is needed to confirm the effectiveness of potential treatments.
research Androgen Receptor Ligands: Agonists and Antagonists
Different substances that activate or block the androgen receptor can affect male development and treat conditions like prostate cancer.
research Androgen Excess: A Hallmark of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Excess androgens may cause PCOS, not just be a symptom.
research Androgen Effects on the Skin
Androgens like testosterone affect skin health and can lead to conditions such as acne and hair loss, with various treatments available.
research Chapter 17: Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators (SARMs)
Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators (SARMs) are drugs that can control the effects of androgens in different tissues, potentially having fewer side effects and promising for treating various conditions.
research Testicular Steroidogenesis: Production and Regulation of Testosterone and Dihydrotestosterone
Genetic defects in testosterone production can cause hormonal and developmental disorders, and more research is needed to understand androgen regulation and develop safer treatments.
research Summaries of Papers on Dermatological Conditions Conducted in 2008
Herpes gestationis is linked to certain antigens, atopic eczema affects T cell populations and may be eased by breastfeeding, higher doses of anti-androgen treatment can improve androgenic alopecia, topical minoxidil increases hair thickness, long-term methotrexate therapy can cause liver fibrosis in psoriasis patients, and Lichen Sclerosus et Atrophicus patients aren't at higher risk for autoimmune disorders.
research Pharmacological Basis for Clinical Use of Antiandrogens
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.
research Investigation, Treatment, And Monitoring Of Late-Onset Hypogonadism In Males: ISA, ISSAM, And EAU Recommendations
Men with low testosterone should be carefully evaluated and monitored before and during treatment.
research Estrogen and Androgen Signaling in the Pathogenesis of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia
Hormonal interactions, especially involving DHT and estrogen, play a key role in BPH development and treatment.
research Impact of Hormones on Female Sexual Function and Dysfunction
Hormones significantly affect women's sexual function, and more research is needed to improve treatments for sexual dysfunction with minimal side effects.
research Gender Differences in Skin: A Review of the Literature
Male and female skin differ due to hormones, affecting conditions like hair loss, acne, and skin cancer, and suggesting a need for gender-specific treatments.
research The Endocrinology of Baldness
Hormones and genetics play key roles in male and female baldness, which can affect mental health and may be linked to other health issues.
research The Use of Testosterone After Menopause
Testosterone therapy can improve sexual satisfaction and mood in surgically menopausal women when used with estrogen, but its long-term safety and effects on naturally menopausal and premenopausal women are unclear.
research Combined Oral Contraception and Bicalutamide in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and Severe Hirsutism: A Double-Blind Randomized Controlled Trial
Birth control pills combined with bicalutamide are more effective at reducing excessive hair growth in women with PCOS than birth control pills alone.
research Testosterone in Women: Measurement and Therapeutic Use
Testosterone therapy can modestly improve sexual function in menopausal women but should be used cautiously and is not recommended for routine measurement in sexual dysfunction or hirsutism.
research Oral Testosterone With and Without Concomitant Inhibition of 5α-Reductase by Dutasteride in Hypogonadal Men for 28 Days
Taking oral testosterone with or without dutasteride increases testosterone levels and could be an effective treatment for low testosterone.
