High androgen levels can cause excessive hair growth and may indicate serious health issues, including heart disease and fertility problems.

Researchers developed reliable models to predict how well certain compounds bind to androgen receptors, emphasizing the importance of atomic electronegativity.

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome should be seen mainly as a condition of excess male hormones, with a focus on this in its definition.

Experts recommend using evidence-based methods to diagnose and treat hirsutism, focusing on symptoms and underlying causes.

Creating stronger blockers for skin enzymes might lead to better treatment for conditions like acne and excessive hair growth.

Antiandrogens like flutamide are effective in treating conditions like prostate cancer and hair loss, but there's a need for more potent versions. Understanding their structure can help develop better treatments.

Male hormones affect COVID-19 severity and certain drugs targeting these hormones could help reduce the risk.

Estrogen Receptor ß (ERß) is the main hormone controller in human skin and hair follicles, not Estrogen Receptor α (ERα) or the Androgen Receptor (AR).

Targeting androgen receptors could be a promising way to treat skin disorders with fewer side effects.

Lowering testosterone speeds up wound healing in male mice.

Androgens block hair growth by disrupting cell signals; targeting GSK-3 may help treat hair loss.

The conclusion is that managing androgen excess requires long-term treatment, including hormonal contraceptives and androgen blockers, with follow-up after six months.

Mutations in certain receptors can cause diseases and offer new treatment options.

The conclusion is that while oral contraceptive pills are effective for PCOS-related high androgen levels, new treatments with fewer side effects are needed.

Rare adrenal cancers that secrete androgens or estrogens have a poor prognosis and are treated primarily with surgery.

Testosterone significantly affects sexual desire in both men and women, but its impact on women is more complex and influenced by psychological factors.
