research Key Targets of Hormonal Treatment of Prostate Cancer: The Androgen Receptor and 5α-Reductase
Blocking DHT production more strongly may help control advanced prostate cancer and improve quality of life.
research Alopecia: The Search for Novel Agents Continues
Many potential alopecia treatments need more testing to confirm they promote acceptable hair growth with minimal side effects.
research Pregnancy and Neonatal Outcome with Maternal Exposure to Finasteride: Case Series
Exposure to the hair loss drug finasteride during pregnancy can cause genital anomalies in male babies, but not in female babies. It's best to avoid this drug in women who could potentially become pregnant.
research Synthesis and Actions of 5α-Reduced Metabolites of Testosterone in the Nervous System
Testosterone and its metabolites affect brain functions and could help treat neurological disorders.
research Androgen Biosynthetic Pathways in the Human Prostate
DHT in the human prostate is produced through multiple pathways, not just from testosterone.
research The Enzyme and Inhibitors of 4-Ene-3-Oxosteroid 5α-Oxidoreductase
Inhibitors of the enzyme 5 alpha-reductase could potentially treat disorders like prostate cancer and baldness.
research Ornithine Decarboxylase Is Upregulated by the Androgen Receptor in Skeletal Muscle and Regulates Myoblast Proliferation
Androgens increase muscle mass by promoting myoblast growth through ornithine decarboxylase.
research New Insights Into Testosterone Biosynthesis: Novel Observations From HSD17B3 Deficient Mice
Mice without the enzyme HSD17B3 still produce normal testosterone, suggesting they have different ways to make it compared to humans.
research Clinical Biochemistry of Dihydrotestosterone
Understanding how DHT works is important for diagnosing and treating hormone-related disorders.
research Benefits of Testosterone Replacement and Methods of Substitution
Testosterone replacement therapy helps manage deficiency and has various methods, but requires careful monitoring to avoid side effects.
research Molecular Genetics of Androgen Insensitivity
Mutations in the androgen receptor gene cause different levels of androgen insensitivity, making it hard to create simple tests for the condition.
research Exposure of Xenopus Laevis Tadpoles to Finasteride, an Inhibitor of 5-Alpha Reductase Activity, Impairs Spermatogenesis and Alters Hypophyseal Feedback Mechanisms
Finasteride exposure harms tadpole reproduction and hormone balance.
research Predominant Expression of 5 Alpha-Reductase Type 1 in Pubic Skin from Normal Subjects and Hirsute Patients
The main enzyme found in pubic skin that could be targeted to treat excessive hair growth is 5 alpha-R2.
research Steroid Hormones: Overview and Medical Applications
Steroid hormones are crucial for body functions and have various medical uses, but their misuse can lead to dependence.
research Analysis of Androgen Receptor Expression and Activity in the Mouse Brain
Androgen receptors in the mouse brain may explain cognitive and mood changes in prostate cancer treatment.
research Molecular Epidemiology of Hypospadias: Review of Genetic and Environmental Risk Factors
Both genes and environmental factors like chemicals may contribute to the increase in hypospadias, but the exact causes are still unclear.
research Alopecia: Unapproved Treatments or Indications
Many treatments for hair loss lack proper testing and FDA approval, so their effectiveness is uncertain.
research Clinical Updates in Hair
Most treatments for hair loss in 1997 were not effective for most people, and maintaining hair growth was difficult.
research Endocrine Treatment of Transsexual Persons: An Endocrine Society Clinical Practice Guideline
The guideline recommends mental health involvement in diagnosing gender identity disorder and outlines hormone and surgical treatment protocols, emphasizing safety, informed consent, and long-term monitoring.
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 Finasteride Induced Depression: A Prospective Study
Finasteride may cause slight depression and anxiety.
research Inhibition of Rat Alpha-Reductases by Finasteride: Evidence for Isozyme Differences in the Mechanism of Inhibition
Finasteride effectively blocks rat enzymes, but with varying methods and strength.
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 Dihydrotestosterone Stimulates 5α-Reductase Activity in Pubic Skin Fibroblasts
Dihydrotestosterone increases the activity of an enzyme in pubic skin cells that converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone.
research Management of Hirsutism
Antiandrogens, particularly flutamide and CPA, are most effective for treating hirsutism, with long-term use needed for best results.
research 46,XY DSD Due to Impaired Androgen Production
Impaired androgen production in 46,XY DSDs causes ambiguous genitalia and requires long-term care.
research Local and Systemic Reduction by Topical Finasteride or Flutamide of Hamster Flank Organ Size and Enzyme Activity
Topical finasteride and flutamide reduce gland size and enzyme activity, with flutamide being more potent, potentially treating acne, seborrhea, hirsutism, and androgenic alopecia.
