Higher DHT in male baldness may protect against prostate cancer.

Male rats have androgen receptors in their liver, which are different from proteins that bind estrogen.

The enzymes 5α-reductase and 3α/β-hydroxysteroid oxidoreductase help create brain-active substances from progesterone and testosterone, which could be used for treatment, but more research is needed to ensure their safety and effectiveness.

Finasteride helps regrow hair and shrink prostate by reducing DHT, with some sexual side effects.

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.

Finasteride safely lowers DHT levels without affecting testosterone.

5α-reductase inhibitors help treat disorders caused by DHT and have potential for future therapies.

Testosterone and dihydrotestosterone have similar effects on body composition and metabolic health in men.

Finasteride improves hair growth in men with androgenetic alopecia.

Finasteride treats enlarged prostate, shrinks it, improves urination, but may cause sexual dysfunction and isn't for women or children.

The document concludes that accurate measurement of serum androgens is crucial for diagnosing hyperandrogenism.

Finasteride effectively treats enlarged prostate and male baldness, improves symptoms of hirsutism in women, but doesn't work for acne, and may delay prostate cancer progression with few side effects.

The document concludes that more research is needed to understand excessive hair growth in women with normal hormone levels and regular ovulation.

The document concludes that blocking the internal pathways that create androgens might help treat cancers that depend on sex hormones.

Minoxidil, originally a blood pressure medication, is effective in treating hair loss in men and women, with different strengths recommended for each.

A49T gene variant linked to higher prostate cancer risk, lower hormone levels, and slightly reduced balding risk.

The skin's ability to produce hormones is linked to various skin conditions, and better understanding this process could lead to new treatments.

Androgens significantly affect female hair loss, and hormonal treatments may help.

Skin problems in PCOS, like excess hair, acne, and hair loss, may not always indicate high male hormone levels and need careful diagnosis for proper treatment.

Longer TA repeats in the SRD5A2 gene may increase acne risk in Chinese people.

Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is a prohormone important for producing sex steroids and has potential health benefits.

Female Pattern Hair Loss affects women's self-esteem and needs more research for better treatment.

The document concludes that proper diagnosis and tailored long-term treatment can effectively manage androgenic disorders in women, improving patient care outcomes.

Men and women experience skin aging differently due to changes in sex hormone levels with age.

The compounds tested could potentially treat hair loss and alopecia.

Men and women react differently to opioids, with hormones potentially influencing these differences.

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

Sex neurosteroids cause different effects on hippocampal synaptic plasticity in males and females.

Minocycline may cause hair loss by increasing DHT levels, but finasteride can help counteract this effect.

Male hormones, particularly DHT, are linked to male pattern hair loss, and treatments like finasteride can help, but they don't work for postmenopausal women's hair loss, which may have different causes.
