research A Phase IIA Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Clinical Trial to Study the Efficacy and Safety of the Selective Androgen Receptor Modulator (SARM), MK-0773 in Female Participants with Sarcopenia
MK-0773 safely increased muscle mass but did not improve muscle strength or function in elderly women with sarcopenia.
research Sex Hormones and Sarcopenia in Older Persons
Sex hormone treatments can increase muscle mass in older adults but have inconsistent effects on muscle function and may carry cardiovascular risks.
research Androgens in Postmenopausal Women
Testosterone in older women can increase bone density, muscle mass, fat mass, improve memory, and boost libido, but may cause nipple color changes.
research Mechanism of Action of Bolandiol (19-Nortestosterone-3β,17β-Diol), a Unique Anabolic Steroid with Androgenic, Estrogenic, and Progestational Activities
Bolandiol, a synthetic steroid, builds muscle and bone without greatly affecting sex glands, and works differently from other hormones.
research Androstenedione: Risks and Lack of Efficacy in Athletes
Androstenedione, a hormone supplement, doesn't improve muscle or performance and can cause harmful side effects.
research Mechanisms of Testosterone Action
Testosterone works in different ways, including direct interaction with its receptor, conversion to other hormones for specific effects on genitalia, hair, bones, and muscle, and changes in body fat and sexual function when low.
research Activation of Nuclear Factor κB in Response to Cream Ingestion Is Related to Ovarian Androgen Hypersecretion in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Eating cream can increase ovarian androgen production in women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, which is not related to obesity.
research The Influence of Non-Esterified Fatty Acids on Ovarian Androgen Production in IVF – Preliminary Results
High levels of fatty acids are linked to increased androgen production and inflammation in women with PCOS, which may affect IVF outcomes.
research Therapeutic Androgen Receptor Ligands
Androgens and SARMs play a role in body mass, frailty, skin health, and hair growth, and are used in treating prostate cancer, acne, and hair loss, with potential for new uses and improved versions in the future.
research Exogenous Testosterone Alone or with Finasteride Increases Physical Performance, Grip Strength, and Lean Body Mass in Older Men with Low Serum Testosterone
Testosterone therapy improves physical function, strength, and body composition in older men with low testosterone levels.
research Lean Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
PCOS in lean women is a serious health condition with implications beyond fertility, affecting metabolism and increasing cardiovascular disease risk.
research Clinical Exome Sequencing Unveils the Genetic Landscape of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome Focusing on Lean and Obese Phenotypes: Implications for Cost-Effective Diagnosis and Personalized Treatment
Young women in West Bengal, India, with PCOS often have estrogen resistance, leptin receptor issues, folate deficiency, T2DM, and acanthosis, commonly linked to obesity.
research Effect of Testosterone Supplementation With and Without a Dual 5α-Reductase Inhibitor on Fat-Free Mass in Men With Suppressed Testosterone Production
Testosterone's muscle-building effects do not require its conversion to DHT.
research Testosterone Supplementation for Aging-Associated Sarcopenia
Testosterone supplements can increase muscle mass and strength in older men with low levels, but long-term effects and risks need more research.
research Novel Uses for the Anabolic Androgenic Steroids Nandrolone and Oxandrolone in the Management of Male Health
Nandrolone and oxandrolone could help treat male health issues like muscle loss and low testosterone.
research Finasteride-Induced Myalgia and HyperCKemia
Finasteride can cause muscle pain and high creatine kinase levels, but stopping the medication may resolve symptoms.
research Pharmacology of Anabolic Steroids
Anabolic steroids can build muscle and strength but have risks and need more research on their clinical benefits and side effects.
research Retinoic Acid Exerts Sexually Dimorphic Effects on Muscle Energy Metabolism and Function
Retinoic acid affects male and female muscle energy use and function differently.
research Body Composition Changes and Inhibition of Fat Development In Vivo Implicate Androgen in Regulation of Stem Cell Lineage Allocation
Androgen is important in controlling stem cell differentiation, reducing fat development, and increasing lean mass.
research Extraskeletal Actions of Vitamin D
Vitamin D has potential benefits for cancer prevention, heart health, diabetes, obesity, muscle function, skin health, and immune function, but clinical results are mixed and more research is needed.
research Negative Impact of Testosterone Deficiency and 5α-Reductase Inhibitors Therapy on Metabolic and Sexual Function in Men
Low testosterone and 5α-reductase inhibitors can harm men's metabolic and sexual health; testosterone therapy may help, but discussing 5α-RIs' side effects is important.
research The Role of Adipocytes in Tissue Regeneration and Stem Cell Niches
Fat cells are important for tissue repair and stem cell support in various body parts.
research Decline of Life’s Energy Theory of Aging: Revitalization of Energy Metabolism and Aging Mitochondria
Boosting mitochondrial energy production with supplements like acetyl-L-carnitine may improve aging-related cellular function and health conditions.
research The Impact of Gender Affirming Hormone Therapy on Physical Performance
Gender-affirming hormone therapy improves physical performance in trans men to the level of cisgender men, while in trans women, it increases fat mass and decreases muscle mass, with no advantage in physical performance after 2 years.
research Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome and Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Women with PCOS are much more likely to have sleep problems and should be checked for them.
research Complications of Cushing's Syndrome: State of the Art
