Genetic defects in testosterone production can cause hormonal and developmental disorders, and more research is needed to understand androgen regulation and develop safer treatments.
research Basics of Androgen Synthesis and Action
Androgens like testosterone are important hormones for both men and women, made differently in each sex and affecting the body by regulating genes and quick interactions with cell components.
research Challenges in Treatment of Patients With Non-Classic Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia
Treating non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia is complex because the benefits of hormone treatment must be weighed against potential health risks.
research Steroidogenesis Inhibitors Alter But Do Not Eliminate Androgen Synthesis Mechanisms During Progression to Castration-Resistance in LNCaP Prostate Xenografts
Steroidogenesis inhibitors change but don't stop androgen production in prostate cancer.
research Genetic Screening of Non-Classic CAH Females with Hyperandrogenemia Identifies a Novel CYP11B1 Gene Mutation
A new mutation in the CYP11B1 gene was found in a woman with mild hyperandrogenemia, a rare cause of non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia.
research Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia: A Detailed Review of 21-Hydroxylase Deficiency
CAH is a genetic disorder affecting cortisol production and causing hormonal imbalances, with treatment and diagnosis varying by form and symptoms.
research Nonclassic Adrenal Hyperplasia: Clinical Features, Diagnosis, and Treatment
Nonclassic adrenal hyperplasia is a genetic condition that can cause early puberty and fertility problems, treated with specific steroids.
research Nonclassic Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia Due to 21-Hydroxylase Deficiency: Pathophysiology, Diagnosis, and Treatment
The document concludes that Nonclassic Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia requires personalized treatment plans to manage symptoms and fertility, with glucocorticoids being a common therapy.
research Genetic Defects of Female Sexual Differentiation
Genetic mutations can affect female sexual development, requiring personalized medical care.
research The Mechanism of Androgen Actions in PCOS Etiology
Androgens play a key role in causing PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome).
research Intracrine Androgen Biosynthesis, Metabolism, and Action Revisited
The document concludes that blocking the internal pathways that create androgens might help treat cancers that depend on sex hormones.
research Genomic and Transcriptomic Characterization of Atypical Recurrent Flank Alopecia in the Cesky Fousek
The study found that the hair loss condition in Cesky Fousek dogs is influenced by multiple genes affecting skin and muscle structure, fat metabolism, and immunity.
research Does Dietary Fatty Acid, Decanoic Acid, Prevent Polycystic Ovary Syndrome?
Decanoic acid may help treat PCOS by reducing androgen levels and improving glucose sensitivity.
research Metformin Therapy for the Reproductive and Metabolic Consequences of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Metformin has limited effectiveness for improving PCOS symptoms and lacks clear benefits, needing more research to confirm its efficacy.
research Non-Classic Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia Due to 21-Hydroxylase Deficiency Revisited: An Update with a Special Focus on Adolescent and Adult Women
The update highlights that non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia is common in women with excess male hormones, requires specific hormone tests for diagnosis, and has various treatment options depending on age and symptoms.
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.
research The Laboratory in the Multidisciplinary Diagnosis of Differences or Disorders of Sex Development (DSD)
Diagnosing sex development disorders requires combining medical history, physical exams, imaging, lab tests, and genetic data.
research Longitudinal Clinical Course in Patients With 5α-Reductase Type 2 Deficiency Treated With Testosterone and Dihydrotestosterone During Infancy and Puberty
Testosterone and dihydrotestosterone treatments can help with penile growth in males with 5α-reductase type 2 deficiency, with dihydrotestosterone being more effective in infancy.
research A Teenage Girl with Unexpected Pubertal Changes
The girl's unexpected pubic hair growth led to a diagnosis different from complete androgen insensitivity syndrome.
