research Is Dehydroepiandrosterone a Hormone?
Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is a prohormone important for producing sex steroids and has potential health benefits.
research Androgen Effects on the Skin
Androgens like testosterone affect skin health and can lead to conditions such as acne and hair loss, with various treatments available.
research Effects of Short-Term Finasteride on Apoptotic Factors and Androgen Receptors in Prostate Cancer Cells
Short-term finasteride treatment may lower some cell death factors in prostate cancer cells.
research Changes in Androgen Levels in Menopausal Women
Menopausal women have higher androgen levels, which can cause symptoms like facial hair growth and low sexual desire.
research Sexual Hormones in Human Skin
Human skin makes sexual hormones that affect hair growth, skin health, and healing; too much can cause acne and hair loss, while treatments can manage these conditions.
