Exogenous testosterone use may be linked to developing hidradenitis suppurativa.
research An Attempt to Assess the Magnitude of Endogenous Androgen Production in a Case of the Adrenogenital Syndrome
A 17-year-old female with adrenogenital syndrome produces very high levels of androgens, which prevent complete feminization despite high estrogen doses.
research Hepatic Adenoma in an Adolescent With Elevated Androgen Levels
A teenage girl with high androgen levels and PCOS developed a rare liver tumor, suggesting a possible link between high androgens and the tumor's growth.
research Incidence of Virilization in Sex Cord Stromal Tumors of Ovary: A 5-Year Experience in a Tertiary Care Gynecological Center
Some ovarian tumors can cause masculinization, and it's important to check for various causes when this symptom is present.
research Cyproterone Acetate in the Treatment of Sexual Disorders: Pharmacological Basis and Clinical Experience
Cyproterone acetate effectively treats sexual disorders by reducing sexual functions and is generally well-tolerated.
research Anabolic Effect of Dihydrotestosterone in Testicular Feminization Syndrome
Dihydrotestosterone has a reduced effect on muscle-building in people with testicular feminization syndrome, especially after their gonads are removed.
research Androgens and the Menopause

New testosterone analogs show promise for male contraception with better activity and potentially fewer side effects.
research The Therapeutic Use of Androgens in Women
Testosterone replacement may improve sexual desire and bone health in women with low androgen levels, but more research is needed on its long-term safety.
research Female Androgenic Alopecia
Women with low SHBG levels and a high 3a-diol G to SHBG ratio are likely to experience female pattern baldness, possibly due to a slight excess of androgens affecting sensitive hair bulbs.
research Chapter 17: Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators (SARMs)
Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators (SARMs) are drugs that can control the effects of androgens in different tissues, potentially having fewer side effects and promising for treating various conditions.
research Long-Term Prophylaxis With Androgens in the Management of Hereditary Angioedema in Emerging Countries
Long-term use of androgens can help manage Hereditary Angioedema (HAE) but may cause serious side effects, so alternative treatments with fewer side effects are being considered.
research Sex Differences in Opioid-Mediated Effects: Role of Androgens
Men and women react differently to opioids, with hormones potentially influencing these differences.
research Intratumoral De Novo Steroid Synthesis Activates Androgen Receptor in Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer and Is Upregulated by Treatment with CYP17A1 Inhibitors
Prostate cancer cells can make their own androgens to activate the androgen receptor, and treatments like abiraterone may increase this ability, suggesting new therapies should target the entire steroid-making pathway.
