research Non-Competitive Androgen Receptor Inhibition In Vitro And In Vivo
Two new compounds can block androgen receptor activity in different ways and may lead to new treatments for androgen-related diseases.
research Unchanged Androgen-Binding Properties of Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin in Male Patients with Liver Cirrhosis
SHBG binding properties are unchanged in male liver cirrhosis patients.
research Animal Models of Androgen-Dependent Disorders of the Pilosebaceous Apparatus
Testosterone causes hair loss in AGA mice, which are good for testing baldness treatments, and both minoxidil and cyproterone acetate can prevent this hair loss.
research Germacrene Analogs Are Anti-Androgenic on Androgen-Dependent Cells
Germacrene analogs, especially 8-Hydroxy germacrene B, are more effective than germacrone at blocking a hormone-related enzyme and could help treat hair loss.
research Daily Intake of Alfalfa Sprouts, But Not Broccoli Sprouts, Influences Plasma Levels of Androgen in Middle-Aged Males
Eating alfalfa sprouts every day can raise testosterone levels in middle-aged men, but broccoli sprouts don't have this effect.
research Hirsutism
Excessive hair growth in women, often from high androgen levels, is usually caused by PCOS, and can be treated with hair removal, medication, and possibly weight loss.
research Visualizing Androgen Receptor Activity in Male and Female Mice
Androgen receptors are active in many tissues of both male and female mice, not just reproductive organs.
research Clinical and Endocrine Effects of Finasteride, a 5α-Reductase Inhibitor, in Women with Idiopathic Hirsutism
Finasteride reduces hairiness and androgen levels in women with unexplained excessive hair growth.
research What Does the Research Say About Androgen Use and Cerebrovascular Events?
Androgen use may increase the risk of stroke, but more research is needed.
research Neonatal Inhibition of Androgen Activity Alters the Programming of Body Weight and Orexinergic Peptides Differentially in Male and Female Rats
Blocking androgen activity in newborn rats affects body weight and appetite-related hormones differently in males and females.
research Guava Leaf Extract as Bioactive Substances for Anti-Androgen and Antioxidant Activities
Guava leaf extract may help treat hair loss and protect cells by blocking certain genes and fighting damaging molecules.
research In Vitro and In Vivo Effects of 17β-N-(4-Phenylcarbamoyl) Androst-4-en-3-one Derivatives as 5α-Reductase Inhibitors on Androgen-Dependent Glands
Three compounds were found to inhibit a prostate disease-related enzyme and reduce prostate size more effectively than the current treatment, suggesting they could be used for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia.
research Contraception And The Skin
Birth control pills can cause skin issues but may help with acne and hirsutism, and choosing the right type can minimize side effects.
research Androgens and Hair Growth
Androgens can both increase and decrease hair growth in different parts of the body.
research The Genetics of Androgenetic Alopecia
Genes and hormones cause hair loss, with four genes contributing equally.
research Treatment of Hirsutism With Spironolactone
Spironolactone is a safe and effective treatment for reducing excessive hair growth in women.
research Influence of TRPV3 Mutation on Hair Growth Cycle in Mice
The TRPV3 gene mutation affects hair growth by keeping mice in the growth phase longer, which could help treat hair loss.
research Peripheral Androgens And The Role Of Androstanediol Glucuronide
Androstanediol glucuronide is a reliable marker for hirsutism in women.
research Androgens and Hair: A Biological Paradox with Clinical Consequences
Androgens can both increase body hair and cause scalp hair loss.
research Cutaneous Manifestations of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Skin problems in PCOS, like excess hair, acne, and hair loss, may not always indicate high male hormone levels and need careful diagnosis for proper treatment.
research Patterned Androgenic Alopecia in Normal Women
Patterned hair loss is relatively common in women and not usually a sign of serious health issues.
research Treatment of Female Pattern Hair Loss With Oral Antiandrogens
Oral antiandrogens effectively treat female hair loss, with better results in higher hair loss grades.
research Androgens and Human Hair Growth
Androgens can cause hair growth in some areas and hair loss on the scalp.
research Role of 5α-Reductase in Health and Disease
5α-reductase is essential for male sexual development and its inhibitors have potential in treating various conditions related to hormone action.
research Hormonal Regulation of Hair Follicles Exhibits a Biological Paradox
Androgens can both stimulate and cause hair loss, and understanding their effects is key to treating hair disorders.
research Hormones and the Pilosebaceous Unit
Hormones significantly affect hair and oil gland function in the skin, and more research is needed on skin-related hormone disorders.
research Steroidogenesis of the Testis: New Genes and Pathways
New genes and pathways are important for testosterone production and male sexual development.
research Antiandrogenic Therapy With Finasteride Attenuates Cardiac Hypertrophy and Left Ventricular Dysfunction
Finasteride helps reduce heart issues and improves heart function.
research Innovative Use of Spironolactone as an Antiandrogen in the Treatment of Female Pattern Hair Loss
