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 Membrane Androgen Receptors May Mediate Androgen Reinforcement
Androgen self-administration might be controlled by membrane receptors, not nuclear ones.
research Biosynthesis of Dihydrotestosterone by a Pathway That Does Not Require Testosterone as an Intermediate in the SZ95 Sebaceous Gland Cell Line
Dihydrotestosterone can be made from dehydroepiandrosterone in skin cells without needing testosterone.
research Epitestosterone—An Endogenous Antiandrogen?
Epitestosterone may act as a weak antiandrogen and can inhibit an enzyme involved in testosterone metabolism.
research Regulation of Androgen Receptor and 5α-Reductase in the Skin of Normal and Hirsute Women
The exact cause of increased 5α-reductase activity leading to hirsutism in women is still unknown.
research Hair Biology
The document explains hair biology, the causes of hair loss, and reviews various hair loss treatments.
research Androgenic Hormone Profile of Adult Women with Acne
Over half of the adult women with acne in the study had higher than normal levels of male hormones, especially DHEA.
research Formulation and Optimization of Transfersome Containing Minoxidil and Caffeine
Minoxidil and caffeine in transfersomes improve hair growth treatment.
research Effect of Dihydrotestosterone on the Upregulation of Inflammatory Cytokines in Cultured Sebocytes
Dihydrotestosterone increases certain inflammatory signals in skin cells, potentially contributing to acne.
research Finasteride, a Type 2 5α-Reductase Inhibitor, in the Treatment of Men with Androgenetic Alopecia
Finasteride effectively treats male hair loss, improving growth and density.
research Androgens Induce Sebaceous Differentiation in Sebocyte Cells Expressing a Stable Functional Androgen Receptor
Androgens cause oil-producing skin cells with androgen receptors to mature and produce more oil.
research The Effect of 5-Reductase Inhibitors on Erectile Function
5-alpha-reductase inhibitors may cause a low incidence of erectile dysfunction that decreases over time.
research Prevention and Treatment of Experimental Prostate Cancer in Lobund-Wistar Rats: Effects of Estradiol, Dihydrotestosterone, and Castration
Estradiol and castration reduced prostate cancer development in rats when applied at early stages, but were ineffective after cancer was established.
research A Bald Statement: Current Approaches to Manipulate Miniaturization Focus Only on Promoting Hair Growth
The conclusion is that future hair loss treatments should target the root causes of hair thinning, not just promote hair growth.
research A Hypothetical Pathogenesis Model for Androgenic Alopecia: Clarifying the Dihydrotestosterone Paradox and Rate-Limiting Recovery Factors
The model suggests that scalp tension could lead to hair loss, with factors like blood vessel hardening, enlarged oil glands, and poor microcirculation also playing a role. It also hints at a possible link between skull shape and baldness pattern.
research Alopecia and the Metabolic Syndrome
Men with common hair loss may have a higher risk of heart disease and diabetes, and should be checked for these conditions.
research Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry Based Hair Steroid Profiling May Reveal Pathogenesis in Hair Follicles of the Scalp
Analyzing hair with this method can help understand and monitor scalp conditions and treatment effects.
research Lack of Androgen Receptor Transcriptional Activity in Human Keratinocytes
Human keratinocytes do not naturally respond to androgens.
research The Basic Science of Hair Biology
Hair disorders are caused by a complex mix of biology, genetics, hormones, and environmental factors, affecting hair growth and leading to conditions like alopecia.
research Novel Agents for the Treatment of Alopecia
New treatments for hair loss show promise, especially finasteride for men and a stronger minoxidil formula.
research Bone Density Is Normal in Male Rats Treated with Finasteride

research Hormone-Dependent Medial Preoptic, Lumbar Spinal Cord, and Autonomic Coordination Supporting Male Sexual Behaviors
Testosterone and its byproducts help support male sexual behavior through different pathways in the brain and body.
research Hedonic Sensitivity to Natural Rewards Is Affected by Prenatal Stress in a Sex-Dependent Manner
Prenatal stress changes how male and female rats enjoy rewards differently, linked to sex hormones.
