research Endocrine Aspects of Female Sexual Dysfunction
Hormones like estrogen, testosterone, progesterone, and prolactin play complex roles in female sexual function, with testosterone potentially improving sexual desire, arousal, and satisfaction. However, more research is needed to establish safe and effective hormone treatments for female sexual dysfunction.
research Androgens and Female Sexual Function and Dysfunction—Findings From the Fourth International Consultation of Sexual Medicine
Androgens play a role in female sexual function, and testosterone therapy can help women with low sexual desire, but more research is needed on treatments and long-term safety.
research Effects of Lifelong Testosterone Exposure on Health and Disease Using Mendelian Randomization
Higher testosterone levels can increase the risk of certain diseases like type 2 diabetes in women and prostate cancer in men, but can also protect against autoimmune diseases and hair loss. It also affects body fat and bone density.
research Toxicity of Repeated Oral Intake of Organic Selenium, Inorganic Selenium, and Selenium Nanoparticles: A Review
Eating too much selenium can cause bad breath, hair loss, and nail changes, with harmful effects starting at low daily doses.
research Androgens in Women: Critical Evaluation of Methods for Their Determination in Diagnosing Endocrine Disorders
The conclusion is that standardizing testosterone measurement methods is essential for better diagnosis accuracy in women.
research Author Response: Effects of Lifelong Testosterone Exposure on Health and Disease Using Mendelian Randomization
Long-term high testosterone levels can improve bone density and reduce body fat but may increase the risk of prostate cancer and high blood pressure.
research Treatment of Female Sexual Dysfunction in Postmenopausal Women: What Is the Evidence?
Hormonal changes and psychological issues can cause sexual dysfunction in postmenopausal women. Behavioral therapy is recommended first, with hormone replacement helping some symptoms but not libido. Testosterone can improve libido, but its effects on overall sexual function are unclear. Emotional and relationship issues should be addressed before using medication, and the benefits and risks of testosterone supplementation should be considered.
research The Neurobiology of Sexual Function
Testosterone is important for men's sexual function, may help some women's sexual desire, while other hormones and neurotransmitters also play complex roles in sexual behavior.
research Anti-Androgenic Activities of Ganoderma Lucidum
Ganoderma lucidum, a type of mushroom, may help treat enlarged prostate by blocking testosterone conversion.
research Anti-Androgenic Activities of the Triterpenoids Fraction of Ganoderma Lucidum
The triterpenoids from Ganoderma lucidum can block testosterone effects and may help treat enlarged prostate.
research Anti-Androgenic Activity of Myricae Cortex: Isolation of Active Constituents from Bark of Myrica Rubra
The bark of Myrica rubra contains compounds that can block testosterone effects and might help prevent hair loss.
research Anabolic Effects of Testosterone Are Preserved During Inhibition of 5α-Reductase
Testosterone can build muscle and bone without enlarging the prostate when a specific enzyme is blocked.
research Androgen Treatment of Postmenopausal Women
Testosterone therapy can improve sexual desire and function in postmenopausal women but should be used cautiously and not based solely on testosterone levels.
research New Progesterone Esters as 5α-Reductase Inhibitors
Some new progesterone derivatives are better at blocking testosterone conversion than a common drug.
research What Is the Rationale for Androgen Therapy for Women?
Testosterone therapy can help improve mood, sexual function, and bone health in women with low androgen levels, but more research is needed to establish safe and effective guidelines.
research Inhibitory Effects of Serenoa Repens on the Kinetics of Pig Prostatic Microsomal 5α-Reductase Activity
Saw palmetto extract can block the enzyme that converts testosterone in pig prostate cells.
research Finasteride Inhibits 5α-Reductase Activity in Human Dermal Fibroblasts: Prediction of Its Therapeutic Application in Androgen-Related Skin Diseases
Finasteride helps treat skin issues like acne and baldness by blocking testosterone conversion.
research Comparison of Alopecia Severity and Blood Level of Testosterone in Men Suffering Schizophrenia with Control Group
Men with more severe hair loss had a lower risk of schizophrenia, but hair loss and testosterone levels were not linked.
research Medicinal and Edible Plant Allium Macrostemon Bunge for the Treatment of Testosterone-Induced Androgenetic Alopecia in Mice
The wild garlic plant, Allium macrostemon Bunge, can promote hair growth and could potentially be used to treat hair loss.
research Penis Endocrinology
