research The Role of Androgen Therapy
Androgens, male hormones, play a role in both men and women's health, and testosterone therapy can help women with low levels, but it's not suitable for pregnant or lactating women, or those with certain conditions.
research Molecular Basis of Androgen Action on Human Sexual Desire
Testosterone significantly affects sexual desire in both men and women, but its impact on women is more complex and influenced by psychological factors.
research Steroid Inhibitors of Androgen-Potentiated Actions on Skin
Certain hormones can reduce skin oil and hair growth, potentially helping treat acne and excessive hair in women.
research Hair Follicles and Associated Glands as Androgen Targets
Androgens like testosterone affect hair growth and oil production differently across body parts and individuals.
research Histopathological Findings and Proliferative Activity of Canine Sebaceous Gland Tumors with a Predominant Reserve Cell Population
High proliferative activity and peripheral invasion indicate malignancy in canine sebaceous gland tumors; the term 'epithelioma' should be updated for clarity.
research Testosterone, 17 Ks, 17 Beta E2 FSH-LH Variations and Hirsutism Modifications During Spironolactone Therapy
Spironolactone treatment reduced hair growth and androgen levels in hirsute women, but the overall effectiveness was just adequate.
research A Benign Cause of Hyperandrogenism in a Postmenopausal Woman
A postmenopausal woman's excessive hair growth and hair loss were due to a non-cancerous ovarian condition, treated successfully with surgery.
research Non-Invasive Diagnosis of Prostate Cancer from Body Fluids Using a Panel of Tumor Suppressor Genes

research Hyperinsulinism, Insulin Resistance, and Fertility
Insulin resistance and hyperinsulinism are linked to fertility issues and can worsen symptoms of PCOS.
research Inositol and FSH: A New Frontier for Androgenetic Alopecia Treatment
Inositol and folic acid treatment significantly reduced hair loss and other symptoms in patients with androgenetic alopecia, but more research is needed for confirmation.
research Gender Differences in Production and Circulating Levels of Sex Hormones and Their Impact on Aging Skin
Men and women experience skin aging differently due to changes in sex hormone levels with age.
research Androgen Replacement Therapy in Women
Androgen replacement therapy can improve libido and mood in women with severe androgen deficiency, but more research is needed on its long-term safety.
research Androgen Receptor Gene CAG Repeat Polymorphism in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Longer CAG repeat lengths in the androgen receptor gene are linked to higher testosterone levels in women with PCOS.
research Unchanged Androgen-Binding Properties of Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin in Male Patients with Liver Cirrhosis
SHBG binding properties are unchanged in male liver cirrhosis patients.
research The Molecular Basis of Androgen Insensitivity
Mutations in the androgen receptor gene cause Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome, affecting sexual development.
research Anti-Androgen Treatments for Hirsutism and Acne in Women of Childbearing Age
For women with moderate to severe unwanted hair growth or acne, birth control pills are the first choice, with other medications like cyproterone, spironolactone, flutamide, or finasteride as alternatives, and permanent hair removal should be done with electrolysis or laser.
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 Anti-Androgen Treatment of Hirsute Women: A Study on Stress Responses
The treatment reduced hair growth and testosterone in women with excess hair and had some effects on stress responses.
research Anti-Androgen Therapy in Female Adult Acne
Anti-androgens are safe and effective for treating moderate to severe adult female acne.
research Androgen Receptor Ligands: Agonists and Antagonists
Different substances that activate or block the androgen receptor can affect male development and treat conditions like prostate cancer.
research The Evaluation and Treatment of Androgen Excess
High androgen levels can cause excessive hair growth and may indicate serious health issues, including heart disease and fertility problems.
