The gene SDR5A1 is found in scalp hair of both hirsute and normal individuals, but it does not explain differences in hair growth.

Rat skin takes up and processes testosterone differently than other organs, with testosterone being more important for the skin than its metabolite 5α-DHT.

Finasteride helps treat skin issues like acne and baldness by blocking testosterone conversion.

Some drugs have gained approval for new uses, while others like tricyclic antidepressants and aspirin show promise but aren't yet approved for these uses.

Addressing underrepresentation in Parkinson's research is crucial for better treatments and understanding.

Air Vice-Marshal Sir Ralph Jackson significantly advanced dialysis technology in the UK.

Finasteride effectively treats hair loss in men with minimal side effects.

Early diagnosis and individualized treatment improve outcomes for Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia.

Selective non-steroidal inhibitors of 5α-reductase type 1 can help treat DHT-related disorders.

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.

New treatments for hair loss show promise, especially finasteride for men and a stronger minoxidil formula.

Researchers found new potential but less potent rat enzyme inhibitors using a 3D model.

NcoA4 may have roles beyond helping control gene activity, possibly affecting cell behavior and stability.

Mutations in certain receptors can cause diseases and offer new treatment options.

GI198745 is more potent and longer-lasting than finasteride, potentially better for treating hair loss.

The activity of a specific rat enzyme in the prostate and epididymis is highly dependent on the acidity level.

Combining flutamide and finasteride can reduce prostate weight and tumor growth, potentially benefiting treatments needing optimal DHT inhibition.

A new method was created to test the effectiveness of Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) inhibitors, like finasteride and dutasteride, in human and fish cells. The results showed fish cells are more sensitive to these treatments, and dutasteride works better than finasteride in all tested cells.

AGA is a genetic, hormonal hair loss treated with finasteride, minoxidil, and supplements, but new compounds are being developed.

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.

Diagnosing sex development disorders requires combining medical history, physical exams, imaging, lab tests, and genetic data.

Selective breeding can enhance immunity in dairy cattle.

5α-reductase inhibitors help shrink the prostate, improve urinary symptoms, and may reduce prostate cancer risk.

Testosterone affects hair follicles differently across body sites, with beard hair follicles showing more activity of a specific enzyme and presence of androgen receptors compared to scalp hair.

The document concludes that blocking the internal pathways that create androgens might help treat cancers that depend on sex hormones.

Increased FGFR2b signaling, influenced by androgens, plays a role in causing acne.

Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia is a rare inherited disease causing hormone imbalances, affecting growth, fertility, and heart health, diagnosed through blood tests and treated with medication and lifestyle changes.

Finasteride can cause lasting sexual, emotional, and cognitive issues, with varying severity.
