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.

Women with PCOS often have skin problems like excessive hair, acne, hair loss, and dark patches, which can be treated with hormonal and non-hormonal therapies.

Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is a prohormone important for producing sex steroids and has potential health benefits.

The study concluded that both estrogen and androgen receptors, which decrease with age, are linked to skin aging and may be hormonally regulated.

Glucocorticoids and sex hormones affect skin health, with potential for targeted treatments to minimize side effects and treat skin conditions.

Testosterone therapy can help with androgen deficiency in women but should be used with caution and monitoring due to potential risks.

Dexamethasone increases the activity of androgen receptors in human skin cells, which may link it to certain types of hair loss.

Androgen conjugates might be better indicators of skin sensitivity to hormones in women with excessive hair growth.

The skin's layers protect, sense, and regulate the body's internal balance, but can be prone to cancer.

Fibroblasts are crucial for tissue repair and inflammation, and understanding them can help treat fibrotic diseases.

Spironolactone works well for acne and hirsutism, isotretinoin is very effective for acne and may have antiandrogenic effects, and 5 alpha-reductase inhibitors should be considered antiandrogens.

Hair follicle size is mainly influenced by the number of cells and extracellular matrix volume, with cell number having a larger impact.

Androgens can both increase and decrease hair growth in different parts of the body.

Most hirsutism cases are due to PCOS, and treatment focuses on lowering testosterone and blocking its effects.

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.

Dutasteride is more effective than finasteride for long-term hair growth in men with androgenic alopecia.

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.

Estrogens significantly influence hair growth by interacting with receptors in hair follicles and may help regulate the hair growth cycle.

Hair loss in Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is due to altered cell sensitivity to hormones, not increased hormone levels. Hair growth periods shorten over time, causing hair to become thinner and shorter. This is linked to miscommunication between cell pathways in hair follicles. There's also a change in gene expression related to blood vessels and cell growth in balding hair follicles. The exact molecular causes of AGA are still unclear.

AGA causes hair loss by shrinking hair follicles due to DHT binding, and can be treated with finasteride and minoxidil.

The study concludes that regulating apoptosis could lead to new treatments for various skin and hair conditions.

Eating high-glycemic foods and drinking milk may worsen acne by increasing insulin and IGF-1 levels.

Hair sensitivity to androgens is partly controlled by specific enzyme expressions in different hair areas.

Riboflavin 5′-phosphate (FMN) shows potential for treating androgen-related conditions but may be limited in treating prostate cancer.

Testosterone therapy can help improve sexual function, mood, and bone density in women with low androgen levels, but more research is needed on long-term safety.

Rat skin takes up and processes testosterone differently than other organs, with testosterone being more important for the skin than its metabolite 5α-DHT.

Androgens can cause hair growth in some areas and hair loss on the scalp.

DHT, a testosterone byproduct, causes male pattern baldness.

Finasteride, a hair loss drug, may cause long-term sexual side effects due to changes in hormone receptor levels.

Androgens increase muscle mass by promoting myoblast growth through ornithine decarboxylase.
