research Basics of Androgen Synthesis and Action
Androgens like testosterone are important hormones for both men and women, made differently in each sex and affecting the body by regulating genes and quick interactions with cell components.
research Testosterone Levels in Relation to Oral Contraceptive Use and the Androgen Receptor CAG and GGC Length Polymorphisms in Healthy Young Women
Oral contraceptives lower testosterone levels in women, especially those with certain genetic traits, and may be linked to increased breast cancer risk.
research Androgen Receptor Mutations and Polymorphisms in African American Prostate Cancer
African American men with prostate cancer have more androgen receptor mutations, which may lead to more aggressive cancer compared to Caucasian American men.
research Is Acne a Sign of Androgen Excess Disorder or Not?
Acne is an important sign of androgen excess disorders in women.
research CAG Polymorphism in the Androgen Receptor Gene in Women May Be Associated with Nodulocystic Acne
Certain gene variations might be linked to severe acne in women but not in men.
research Androgen Effects in Mammals
Testosterone is crucial for development, growth, and various body functions in mammals.
research Analysis of Androgen Receptor Expression and Activity in the Mouse Brain
Androgen receptors in the mouse brain may explain cognitive and mood changes in prostate cancer treatment.
research Hormonal Treatment for Skin Androgen-Related Disorders
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.
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 Estimation of Serum Aldosterone, Free Testosterone, and DHEA-S and Scalp Androgen and Aldosterone Receptors in Female Androgenetic Alopecia: Is the Mystery Solved?
High aldosterone and free testosterone levels link to female hair loss; testing aldosterone may predict hypertension risk.
research Managing the PCOS-Related Symptoms of Hirsutism, Acne, and Hair Loss
Birth control pills and anti-androgen medications help manage hair growth, acne, and hair loss in women with PCOS.
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 A Prospective Randomized Trial Comparing Finasteride to Spironolactone in the Treatment of Hirsute Women
Finasteride and spironolactone both reduce hirsutism, but finasteride lowers androgen levels more.
research The Diagnosis of Androgenetic Alopecia in Children: Considerations of Pathophysiological Plausibility
AGA in children needs careful diagnosis due to low androgen levels and possible other causes.
research Contraceptive Use in Acne
Hormonal contraceptives can help treat acne by affecting sebum production and androgen levels.
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 Dihydrotestosterone Stimulates 5α-Reductase Activity in Pubic Skin Fibroblasts
Dihydrotestosterone increases the activity of an enzyme in pubic skin cells that converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone.
research The Association of Cytosine-Adenine-Guanine Repeat Polymorphism in the Androgen Receptor Gene with Nodulocystic Acne in Egyptian Patients
Certain gene variations are linked to severe acne in Egyptian patients and could guide treatment choices.
research Androgens and Cardiovascular Disease
Male hormones may play a role in the development of heart disease, and more research is needed to understand their effects.
research Acne: Hormonal Concepts and Therapy
Hormones, especially androgens, play a big role in acne, but most acne sufferers don't have a hormone disorder. Hormonal treatments, including birth control pills, can be very effective for women whose acne doesn't improve with regular treatments.
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 Emerging Medication for the Treatment of Male Hypogonadism
New treatments for male hypogonadism are effective and should be personalized.
research Peripheral Androgens And The Role Of Androstanediol Glucuronide
Androstanediol glucuronide is a reliable marker for hirsutism in women.
research Evidence-Based Approach to Cutaneous Hyperandrogenism in Women
The conclusion is that oral contraceptives and antiandrogens can treat hirsutism and acne in women with cutaneous hyperandrogenism, but more research is needed for effective treatments, especially for hair loss.
research Role of Insulin Resistance and Diet in Acne
Eating high glycemic foods and drinking milk may worsen acne by increasing insulin and IGF-1 levels.
research Membrane Androgen Receptors May Mediate Androgen Reinforcement
Androgen self-administration might be controlled by membrane receptors, not nuclear ones.
research Sexual Hormones in Human Skin
Human skin makes sexual hormones that affect hair growth, skin health, and healing; too much can cause acne and hair loss, while treatments can manage these conditions.
research Androgens and Hair Growth
Androgens can both increase and decrease hair growth in different parts of the body.
research Androgens and Human Hair Growth
Androgens can cause hair growth in some areas and hair loss on the scalp.
