research Synthesis and Pharmacological Properties of Heterocyclic Steroids
The document concludes that scientists created various steroids with different properties, including a more effective semi-synthetic vitamin D.
research Potential Factors Contributing to Androgenetic Alopecia
Male pattern baldness may be caused by factors like poor blood circulation, scalp tension, stress, and hormonal imbalances, but the exact causes are still unclear.
research Expression of Type 1 5α-Reductase and Metabolism of Testosterone in Reconstructed Human Epidermis: A New Model for Screening Skin-Targeted Androgen Modulators
The study created a new method to test drugs that affect hormone processing in skin.
research Effect of Testosterone Supplementation With and Without a Dual 5α-Reductase Inhibitor on Fat-Free Mass in Men With Suppressed Testosterone Production
Testosterone's muscle-building effects do not require its conversion to DHT.
research Androgen Regulation of a Specific Gene in Hamster Flank Organs
Male hormones control a specific gene in hamster skin, with different hormones having varying effects.
research Finasteride Inhibits 5α-Reductase Activity in Human Dermal Fibroblasts: Prediction of Its Therapeutic Application in Androgen-Related Skin Diseases
Finasteride helps treat skin issues like acne and baldness by blocking testosterone conversion.
research Simultaneous Quantitation of Nine Hydroxy-Androgens and Their Conjugates in Human Serum by Stable Isotope Dilution Liquid Chromatography Electrospray Ionization Tandem Mass Spectrometry
A new method accurately measures nine specific hormones in human blood.
research Intracrine Androgen Biosynthesis, Metabolism, and Action Revisited
The document concludes that blocking the internal pathways that create androgens might help treat cancers that depend on sex hormones.
research Aldo-Keto Reductase (AKR) 1C3 Inhibitors: A Patent Review
The review suggests that while many AKR1C3 inhibitors show promise for treating certain cancers, more research is needed to confirm their effectiveness in humans.
research Epitestosterone: Regulatory Roles in Androgen-Dependent Processes
Epitestosterone may counteract testosterone's effects and has roles in body processes like prostate growth and hair distribution.
research Saw Palmetto Extract: A Dermatologist's Perspective
Saw palmetto extract may help with hair loss and acne but needs more research on safety and long-term effects.
research The Antiandrogenic Action of 4-Androsten-3-One-17β-Carboxylic Acid and Its Methyl Ester on Hamster Flank Organ
The chemicals 17βC and its methyl ester can block the effects of testosterone on hamster skin but not the effects of DHT.
research Markers of Peripheral Androgen Action In Vivo and In Vitro
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.
research Finasteride Inhibits the Progesterone-Induced Spike-Wave Discharges in a Genetic Model of Absence Epilepsy
Finasteride blocks progesterone's effect on absence seizures in rats.
research Male Androgenetic Alopecia
Male androgenetic alopecia involves hair follicle miniaturization due to DHT, with potential treatments using inhibitors and blockers.
research Male Androgenetic Alopecia
DHT, a testosterone byproduct, causes male pattern baldness.
research The Role of Non-Aromatizable Testosterone Metabolite in Metabolic Pathways
Normal levels of DHT can reduce belly fat and increase muscle, but too much can lead to hair loss, prostate issues, and possibly heart disease.
research Sexual Problems of Men With Androgenic Alopecia Treated With 5-Alpha Reductase Inhibitors
Men using hair loss drugs like finasteride may experience sexual side effects like erectile dysfunction, but it's unclear who will be affected and when. Treating depression and sexual symptoms is suggested, as these men often have higher rates of both. More research is needed to understand why these side effects occur.
research Does Propecia Cause More Harm Than Good: Assessing Reproductive and Non-Reproductive Effects of Finasteride on Male Health
Finasteride treats hair loss but may cause low libido, erectile issues, and depression.
research Pharmacology of Anabolic Steroids
Anabolic steroids can build muscle and strength but have risks and need more research on their clinical benefits and side effects.
research Quantitative Estimation of Hair Growth: Androgenetic Alopecia in Women and the Effect of Minoxidil
Minoxidil promotes hair growth in women with early-stage alopecia.
research High Resolution Full Scan Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometry Comprehensive Screening in Sports Antidoping Urine Analysis
The method effectively detects banned substances in urine for sports antidoping.
research A Randomized Trial of Oral DHEA Treatment for Sexual Function, Well-Being, and Menopausal Symptoms in Postmenopausal Women with Low Libido
DHEA did not improve sexual function, well-being, or menopausal symptoms in postmenopausal women with low libido but caused side effects like acne and increased facial hair.
research 5α-Reduced Glucocorticoids: A Story of Natural Selection
Natural 5α-reduced glucocorticoids might be anti-inflammatory with fewer side effects than current options.
research Circulating Androgen Levels Before and After Oophorectomy in Premenopausal and Postmenopausal Women
Oophorectomy lowers testosterone and estrogen levels in both premenopausal and postmenopausal women, with postmenopausal women still producing significant testosterone.
research Lack of Endocrine Systemic Side Effects After Topical Application of Spironolactone in Men
Topical spironolactone cream doesn't cause hormone-related side effects in the body.
research Endocrine-Skin Interactions
Hormone imbalances can cause specific skin changes, which may help in early detection of endocrine disorders.
research Exploring Rat Corpus Cavernosum Alterations Induced by Finasteride Treatment and Withdrawal
Finasteride changes hormone levels and certain proteins in rats, but these effects can be reversed after stopping the drug.
research Gut Inflammation Induced by Finasteride Withdrawal: Therapeutic Effect of Allopregnanolone in Adult Male Rats
Allopregnanolone can reduce gut inflammation and normalize neurotransmitter levels after finasteride withdrawal.
