Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is crucial for conditions like male-pattern baldness and acne, and measuring a byproduct, androstanediol glucuronide, is a better way to assess DHT's effects than DHT blood levels.

Androgens have complex effects on hair growth, promoting it in some areas but causing hair loss in others, and our understanding of this is still evolving.

GI198745 is more potent and longer-lasting than finasteride, potentially better for treating hair loss.

High levels of male hormones in pregnant mice cause heart enlargement and poor heart function in their female babies.

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.

Hormonal treatments can help with hair loss, acne, and excess hair growth, but it takes 3-6 months to see results and patients should know the possible side effects.

DHT, a testosterone byproduct, causes male pattern baldness.

Mice with human gene experienced hair loss when treated with DHT.

Finasteride safely lowers DHT levels without affecting hormone levels, helping with conditions like enlarged prostate, acne, and hair loss.

Minocycline may cause hair loss by increasing DHT levels, but finasteride can help counteract this effect.

PNU 157706 is a more effective treatment than finasteride for conditions caused by DHT, like enlarged prostate and hair loss.

Protein tyrosine kinases are key in male pattern baldness, affecting skin structure, hair growth, and immune responses.

Lespedeza cuneata extract may help treat enlarged prostate.

Researchers found new potential treatments for conditions related to the androgen receptor, like male hormonal contraception, by testing thousands of compounds.

Plant extracts like Avicennia marina, Boehmeria nipononivea, and Camellia sinensis could potentially treat hair loss with fewer side effects than synthetic drugs.

New treatments for hair loss should target eight main causes and use specific plant compounds and peptides for better results.

New compounds may soon be tested to treat excessive hair growth in women.

Male rats have more somatostatin neurons than females due to testosterone converting to estrogen during early development.

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.

Scutellaria baicalensis extract and baicalin may help prevent hair loss.

Androgens slow hair growth by altering Wnt signaling in balding cells.

Different types of androgens bind differently to two receptors, AR1 and AR2, in Atlantic croaker's brain and ovarian tissues, suggesting these receptors may control different androgen actions in fish.

Glioblastoma cells can make androgens, which might help the tumor grow.

Androgen receptors in the mouse brain may explain cognitive and mood changes in prostate cancer treatment.

The study suggests that a specific gene variation and higher gene activity are linked to increased baldness in Egyptian men.

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.

Understanding how androgens and their receptors work can lead to improved treatments for skin diseases.

Proscar (finasteride) blocks 5α-reductase in sea urchin ovaries and testes, suggesting potential treatment for androgen-related conditions.

Men with Type 2 Diabetes have lower DHT levels, which may affect fertility and lipid profiles.

Both drugs lower DHT levels, with GI198745 being more effective.
