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

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.

Male hormones affect oil-producing skin cells differently based on their body location, and the drug spironolactone can reduce these effects.

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.

Human beard hair follicles change testosterone into other related hormones, but don't much change androstenedione into testosterone.

Blocking the androgen receptor in skin cells reduces their growth response to male hormones, suggesting a possible treatment for skin conditions linked to androgens.

Testosterone is made by Leydig cells, is active when not bound to proteins, and works by binding to receptors in muscles and other tissues.

This enzyme helps metabolize fatty acids and isoleucine, and could be key in treating neurological diseases and certain cancers.

Finasteride affects prostate weights and pituitary activity differently with age.

The substance MK386 effectively blocked testosterone conversion and reduced cell growth in certain skin cells, but inhibiting 5α-reductase alone may not greatly improve acne.

Avicequinone C, a compound found in the Avicennia marina plant, can reduce hair loss by inhibiting a hormone linked to androgenic alopecia.

Reduced androgens linked to kinky hair disorder and hair loss; 5a-reductase inhibitors may help.

Many potential alopecia treatments need more testing to confirm they promote acceptable hair growth with minimal side effects.

Testosterone and some of its forms can strongly stimulate oil gland growth in skin.

Rat skin takes up and processes testosterone differently than other organs, with testosterone being more important for the skin than its metabolite 5α-DHT.

Cimicifuga racemosa extract may help prevent and treat prostate issues by inhibiting 5α-reductase.

A PET-CT scan successfully located a hard-to-find Leydig cell tumor in a woman with hormonal symptoms.

Nanoliposomes loaded with saw palmetto extract could be good for treating hair loss.

The body's change of testosterone into DHT is not necessary for testosterone's muscle and sexual effects.

Researchers created human cells that can turn into sebocytes, which may help study and treat skin conditions like acne.

Most men seeking hair transplants have Male Pattern Baldness, influenced by genetics, age, and testosterone, while women's hair loss can be affected by thyroid function, iron, testosterone, prolactin, ferritin levels, and certain conditions. Follicular Unit Extraction is a popular hair transplant technique.

Topical finasteride is promising for hair loss with minimal side effects but needs more research and approval.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy improves hair growth and quality of life in androgenic alopecia patients.

Inhibitors of the enzyme 5 alpha-reductase could potentially treat disorders like prostate cancer and baldness.

Hormones and signaling pathways control sebaceous gland function and could help treat acne.

Ketoconazole reduced hair growth and improved acne in women, but caused side effects needing careful monitoring.

Liposomes are not better than acetone for applying DHT on skin.

Androgenic steroids can slow down or stop the growth of certain skin fungi.

Spironolactone reduces the number of androgen receptor sites in rat skin by blocking them with its metabolite.

The document concludes that Follicular Unit Extraction is an advanced, less invasive hair transplant method with fewer side effects than traditional methods.
