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 Fadrozole And Finasteride Exposures Modulate Sex Steroid- And Thyroid Hormone-Related Gene Expression In Silurana (Xenopus) Tropicalis Early Larval Development
Fadrozole and finasteride change gene expression related to sex hormones and thyroid hormones in frog larvae development.
research Cloning, Computational Analysis and Expression Profiling of Steroid 5 Alpha-Reductase 1 (SRD5A1) Gene During Reproductive Phases and Ovatide Stimulation in Endangered Catfish, Clarias Magur
The research identified and described a gene important for hormone conversion in endangered catfish, which varies in activity during different reproductive stages and after hormone treatment.
research Steroid Hormones of Reproduction and Sexual Development
Sex hormones affect reproduction, sexual development, and oral health, and it's important for dental practitioners to understand their effects and interactions.
research Is Dehydroepiandrosterone a Hormone?
Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is a prohormone important for producing sex steroids and has potential health benefits.
research Morpho-Regulation in Diverse Chicken Feather Formation: Integrating Branching Modules and Sex Hormone-Dependent Morpho-Regulatory Modules
Sex hormones, especially estradiol, can change chicken feather shapes and colors.
research Recent Advances in Drug Design and Drug Discovery for Androgen-Dependent Diseases

research Effect of Testosterone, Dihydrotestosterone, Estradiol, and Cortisol on the Quality of Fresh and Cryopreserved Stallion Sperm
Higher testosterone harms sperm motility, while higher estradiol improves sperm survival.
research Which Chemicals Should Be Grouped Together for Mixture Risk Assessments of Male Reproductive Disorders?
Group a wide range of chemicals, not just phthalates, for assessing risks to male reproductive health.
research Androgenetic Alopecia and Microinflammation
Inflammation may be linked to hair loss, and targeting specific enzymes could help treat it.
research Is Dihydrotestosterone a Classic Hormone?
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) mainly affects nearby cells, doesn't significantly change prostate hormonal environment or cancer risk, and doesn't play a main role in causing hair loss or acne. More research is needed on its effects on heart health, sexual function, and bone health.
research Sulfatase Inhibitors: A Patent Review
The document concludes that research on sulfatase inhibitors should continue due to their potential in treating various diseases, despite some clinical trial failures.
research Quantification of Reproductive Hormones in Hair of Captive Adult Brown Bears and Their Application as Indicators of Sex and Reproductive State
Measuring reproductive hormones in brown bear hair could help identify their sex and reproductive state, but better collection methods or lab techniques are needed.
research Expression of Steroidogenic Enzymes in Human Sebaceous Glands
Human sebaceous glands contain enzymes that affect androgen production and may influence sebum production and acne.
research Beyond Testosterone Cypionate: Evidence Behind the Use of Nandrolone in Male Health and Wellness
Nandrolone might increase muscle mass with fewer side effects than testosterone but could cause erectile dysfunction and needs more research.
research Topical L-Thyroxine: The Cinderella Among Hormones Waiting to Dance on the Floor of Dermatological Therapy?
Topical L-thyroxine may help with wound healing and hair growth but should be used short-term due to potential risks.
research Idiopathic Hirsutism: Excessive Bodily and Facial Hair in Women
