research Short- and Long-Term Clinical Skin Effects of Testosterone Treatment in Trans Men
Testosterone treatment in trans men increases body and facial hair and may lead to hair loss over time, but severe skin issues are rare.
research Male Accessory Sex Glands
Male accessory sex glands in rats rarely develop tumors and respond to hormones.
research Comparison of Finasteride (Proscar) and Serenoa Repens (Permixon) in the Inhibition of 5-Alpha Reductase in Healthy Male Volunteers
Finasteride works better than Permixon in reducing dihydrotestosterone levels.
research The Effect of 5α-Reductase Inhibition With Dutasteride and Finasteride on Bone Mineral Density, Serum Lipoproteins, Hemoglobin, Prostate Specific Antigen, and Sexual Function in Healthy Young Men
Dutasteride and finasteride do not significantly affect bone density, blood fats, or blood production, but slightly lower PSA levels and minimally impact sexual function in healthy young men.
research Male Gonadal Function in Coeliac Disease: Sex Hormones
Men with coeliac disease may have hormone imbalances that could affect sexual function, but these can improve with better gut health.
research Saccharomyces Cerevisiae BLYAS, A New Bioluminescent Bioreporter For Detection Of Androgenic Compounds
The engineered yeast strain BLYAS can quickly and sensitively detect androgenic chemicals.
research Androgen Receptors And Their Biology
Androgen receptors are key for development and health, affecting conditions like prostate cancer and male pattern baldness.
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 Sebocytes’ Makeup: Novel Mechanisms and Concepts in the Physiology of the Human Sebaceous Glands
Hormones and signaling pathways control sebaceous gland function and could help treat acne.
research Hair Follicles and Associated Glands as Androgen Targets
Androgens like testosterone affect hair growth and oil production differently across body parts and individuals.
research Nipple Differentiation in Fetal Male Rats Treated with an Inhibitor of the Enzyme 5α-Reductase: Definition of a Selective Role for Dihydrotestosterone
Blocking a specific enzyme in male rat fetuses leads to the development of nipples and feminized genitalia.
research Molecular Genetic and Endocrine Mechanisms of Hair Growth
Hormones and their receptors, especially androgens, play a key role in hair growth and disorders like baldness.
research Promotion of Hair Growth by Rosmarinus Officinalis Leaf Extract
Rosemary leaf extract may be an effective natural treatment for hair growth and male pattern baldness.
research The Extract of Thuja Occidentalis Semen Inhibited 5α-Reductase and Androgenetic Alopecia in B6CBAF1/J Hybrid Mice
Thujae occidentalis semen extract may help treat male pattern baldness by blocking a hair loss-related enzyme and reducing hair loss in mice.
research 5 Alpha-Reductase Inhibitors: What's New?
A new drug, dutasteride, is at least as effective as the older drug, finasteride, for treating enlarged prostate and may have additional uses.
research Ketoconazole Therapy for Women with Acne and/or Hirsutism
Ketoconazole reduced hair growth and improved acne in women, but caused side effects needing careful monitoring.
research Biology of Hair Growth
Testosterone and dihydrotestosterone affect hair growth, and new techniques like the folliculogram help study it, but fully understanding hair growth is still complex.
research Gonadal Dysgenesis and Bone Metabolism
Gonadal dysgenesis, like Turner's and Klinefelter's syndromes, negatively affects bone health, but hormone treatments can help.
research Genetic Analysis of Androgen Receptors in Development and Disease
The document concludes that the androgen receptor's structure and function are complex, affecting how it regulates genes and is involved in diseases like prostate cancer.
research Testosterone Metabolism in the Skin: A Review of Its Function in Androgenetic Alopecia, Acne Vulgaris, and Idiopathic Hirsutism Including Recent Studies with Antiandrogens
Testosterone affects hair loss, acne, and excessive hair growth, and antiandrogens can help treat these conditions.
research Functional Hair Follicle Regeneration: An Updated Review
Hair follicle regeneration possible, more research needed.
research Androgens Affect the Activity of Human Sebocytes in Culture Depending on the Localization of the Sebaceous Glands, and Their Effect Is Antagonized by Spironolactone
Male hormones affect oil-producing skin cells differently based on their body location, and the drug spironolactone can reduce these effects.
research Antiandrogens: Clinical Applications
Antiandrogens help treat hormone-related conditions in both men and women.
research Spironolactone Therapy for Hirsutism in a Hyperandrogenic Woman
Spironolactone may help reduce excessive hair growth in women with high male hormone levels.
research Original Research—Endocrinology: Comparison of the Steady-State Pharmacokinetics, Metabolism, and Variability of a Transdermal Testosterone Patch Versus a Transdermal Testosterone Gel in Hypogonadal Men
The testosterone patch and gel are both effective, but they have different absorption patterns and effects on hormone levels.
research More About X-Linked Testicular Feminization of the Mouse as a Noninducible (is) Mutation of a Regulatory Locus: 5α-Androstan-3α-17β-Diol as the True Inducer of Kidney Alcohol Dehydrogenase and β-Glucuronidase
A specific metabolite, not a receptor protein, triggers the production of certain kidney enzymes, but this process is disrupted in mice with a mutation causing testicular feminization.
research Age-Related Hair Changes in Men: Mechanisms and Management of Alopecia and Graying
Men's hair loss is caused by hormones and genes, and can be treated with medication and surgery, while graying is due to aging and has no prevention except dyeing.
