research Adrenal Steroid Precursors Exert Potent Androgenic Action in the Hamster Sebaceous Glands of Flank Organs and Ears
Certain adrenal hormones can strongly stimulate oil gland growth in hamster skin, similar to male hormones.
research Circulating and Intraprostatic Sex Steroid Hormonal Profiles in Relation to Male Pattern Baldness and Chest Hair Density Among Men Diagnosed with Localized Prostate Cancers
Baldness in men with prostate cancer is linked to higher levels of certain sex hormones, but chest hair density is not.
research Anti-Androgens in Gynecological Practice
Cyproterone acetate is effective for treating hirsutism and acne in women by blocking androgens in the skin and also works as a contraceptive.
research Clascoterone as a Novel Treatment for Androgenetic Alopecia
Clascoterone may be a promising treatment for hair loss.
research The Involvement of Androgens in Human Hair Growth
Androgens play a key role in hair growth and disorders like baldness and excessive hairiness.
research Comparing Current Therapeutic Modalities of Androgenic Alopecia: A Literature Review of Clinical Trials
Some treatments for hereditary hair loss are effective but vary in results and side effects; new therapies show promise but need more research.
research Anti-Alopecia Activity of Alkaloids from Noni Fruit Against Dihydrotestosterone-Induced Male Rabbits and Its Molecular Mechanism: In Vivo and In Silico Studies
Noni fruit extract, specifically the FEA-3 sub-fraction, can increase hair growth and reduce baldness in male rabbits, potentially acting like common hair loss treatments.
research Androgenic Alopecia: Cross-Talk Between Cell Signal Transduction Pathways
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.
research Therapeutic Maintenance Effect of Finasteride 1 Mg Every Other Month Regimen in Androgenetic Alopecia: A Prospective Cohort Study
Taking finasteride every other month can still help with hair loss but may be less effective over time compared to taking it daily.
research Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy in the Treatment of Androgenic Alopecia – Review
Platelet-rich plasma therapy shows promise in treating hair loss caused by androgenic alopecia.
research Establishment and Characterization of Matched Immortalized Human Frontal and Occipital Scalp Dermal Papilla Cell Lines from Androgenetic Alopecia
Scientists created cell lines from balding patients and found that cells from the front of the scalp are more affected by hormones that cause hair loss than those from the back.
research Trazodone By Epigenetic Mechanism Can Reverse The Post Finasteride Syndrome
Trazodone might help reverse post finasteride syndrome.
research Cell-Free Fat Extract Restores Hair Loss: A Novel Therapeutic Strategy for Androgenetic Alopecia
A substance called Cell-free fat extract can effectively treat common hair loss by increasing hair growth and density.
research Male Pattern Hair Loss: Can Developmental Origins Explain the Pattern?
Male pattern hair loss may be linked to the developmental origins of hair follicles.
research Comprehensive Transcriptome Data to Identify Downstream Genes of Testosterone Signaling in Dermal Papilla Cells

A 13-year-old with 46 XY DSD had ambiguous genitalia due to incomplete masculinization.
research Mechanisms of Testosterone Action
Testosterone works in different ways, including direct interaction with its receptor, conversion to other hormones for specific effects on genitalia, hair, bones, and muscle, and changes in body fat and sexual function when low.
research 5 Alpha-Reductase Inhibitors
