The document concludes that treatments like oral anti-androgens, minoxidil, and topical spironolactone can be effective for hair loss in men and women.

Pattern baldness is likely caused by a dominant gene influenced by testosterone levels, making it more common in men.

Testosterone is important for men's sexual function, may help some women's sexual desire, while other hormones and neurotransmitters also play complex roles in sexual behavior.

Androgens, like testosterone, are crucial for early testicular descent in rats.

Male hormones like testosterone may make COVID-19 worse, and testing for sensitivity to these hormones could help predict how severe a patient's symptoms might be. Treatments that reduce these hormones are being explored.

The document explains how the male reproductive system works, its role in making testosterone, and how conditions like obesity can disrupt it, leading to low testosterone and fertility issues.

New genes and pathways are important for testosterone production and male sexual development.

The document suggests that targeting the hormone DHT could be a more effective treatment for prostate cancer than targeting testosterone.

Dihydrotestosterone increases the activity of an enzyme in pubic skin cells that converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone.

DHT, a testosterone byproduct, causes male pattern baldness.

Androgens like testosterone affect hair growth and oil production differently across body parts and individuals.

Beard cells, unlike scalp cells, produce growth factors in response to testosterone, which may explain differences in hair growth.

Spironolactone reduces the enzyme activity that converts testosterone to DHT, helping treat excessive hair growth in women.

Testosterone and dihydrotestosterone affect hair growth, and new techniques like the folliculogram help study it, but fully understanding hair growth is still complex.

Testosterone therapy is generally safe for transmen, improves sexual function, and has manageable health risks with proper monitoring.

FAGA diagnosis uses blood tests and trichoscopy, with treatments like topical minoxidil, oral anti-androgens, and hormone-modulating drugs.

Testosterone can build muscle and bone without enlarging the prostate when a specific enzyme is blocked.

Hormone therapy affects hair growth in transgender individuals, with testosterone potentially causing hair loss in trans men and estrogen reducing facial/body hair in trans women; treatment options vary.

Certain SHBG gene variants, like rs727428, are linked to higher testosterone levels in women with PCOS.

Researchers found potential urine markers for polycystic ovary syndrome, including testosterone-glucuronide and 11α-hydroxyprogesterone, which may help diagnose the condition.

The document concludes that careful evaluation is needed to diagnose PCOS correctly due to similar symptoms in other conditions, and accurate testosterone level measurement is crucial.

Lespedeza cuneata extract may help treat enlarged prostate.

Liquorice may reduce testosterone and affect male reproductive organs, potentially helping treat conditions like prostate cancer.

Adiantum capillus-veneris Linn reduced hair loss and improved hair growth in mice with testosterone-induced alopecia.

Testosterone significantly affects sexual desire in both men and women, but its impact on women is more complex and influenced by psychological factors.

Testosterone therapy may slightly increase sexual desire in women with HSDD but lacks broad recommendation due to safety concerns and limited approval.

Finasteride affects frog testes by increasing testosterone, decreasing 5α-DHT, and impacting genes related to reproduction and other functions.

Men with liver cancer have higher levels of a specific testosterone byproduct in their liver and blood, despite overall lower male hormone levels.

Testosterone is crucial for development, growth, and various body functions in mammals.
