Kolaviron and quercetin may help treat prostate issues.
research Triple Hormonal Blockade (ADT3): A Patient’s Perspective
Triple Hormonal Blockade (ADT3) can effectively manage prostate cancer but requires careful monitoring for heart risks.
research Pharmacology of Different Progestogens: The Special Case of Drospirenone
Drospirenone is a unique progestin with anti-water retention and potential blood pressure benefits, used in birth control and hormone therapy.
research A Powerful Method for Pleiotropic Analysis Under Composite Null Hypothesis Identifies Novel Shared Loci Between Type 2 Diabetes and Prostate Cancer
New method finds genetic links between Type 2 Diabetes and Prostate Cancer not seen before.
research Localization of Varicella-Zoster Virus Nucleic Acids and Proteins in Human Skin
The research found that chickenpox virus spreads in skin through blood then to skin cells, while shingles virus moves from nerves to hair follicle areas before infecting skin cells.
research Androgen Receptor Modulators: A Review of Recent Patents and Reports (2012-2018)
New androgen receptor modulators show promise for treating diseases like prostate cancer and muscle wasting.
research Association of Metabolic Syndrome With Female Pattern Hair Loss in Women: A Case-Control Study
Metabolic syndrome linked to female hair loss; waist size and high blood pressure important factors.
research Effects of Long-Term Treatment With Finasteride (MK-906), a 5-Alpha Reductase Inhibitor, on Circulating LH, FSH, Prolactin, and Estradiol
Finasteride safely lowers DHT levels without affecting hormone levels, helping with conditions like enlarged prostate, acne, and hair loss.
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 Six Novel Susceptibility Loci for Early-Onset Androgenetic Alopecia and Their Unexpected Association with Common Diseases
Six new genetic regions linked to early hair loss also connect to Parkinson's disease and prostate cancer, possibly leading to new treatments.
research 5α-Reductase Inhibitors: Chemical and Clinical Models
Researchers developed a model to predict how well certain compounds can block an enzyme related to hair loss and prostate issues, suggesting a 50 mg dose of finasteride might be effective based on lab and body data.
research Preponderance of Serum and Intra-Hepatic 5α-Dihydrotestosterone in Males with Hepatocellular Carcinoma Despite Low Circulating Androgen Levels
Men with liver cancer have higher levels of a specific testosterone byproduct in their liver and blood, despite overall lower male hormone levels.
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 Clinical Efficacy and Safety of Low-Dose Flutamide Alone and Combined with an Oral Contraceptive for the Treatment of Idiopathic Hirsutism
Low-dose flutamide helps reduce excessive hair growth and is even more effective with birth control, without bad effects on blood fats.
research Steady-State Pharmacokinetics of Oral Testosterone Undecanoate with Concomitant Inhibition of 5α-Reductase by Finasteride
Finasteride doesn't affect oral testosterone undecanoate, and high DHT levels may cause acne, prostate issues, and hair loss.
research Markers of Peripheral Androgen Action In Vivo and In Vitro
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is crucial for conditions like male-pattern baldness and acne, and measuring a byproduct, androstanediol glucuronide, is a better way to assess DHT's effects than DHT blood levels.
research Androgenic Alopecia: Cross-Talk Between Cell Signal Transduction Pathways
Hair loss in Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is due to altered cell sensitivity to hormones, not increased hormone levels. Hair growth periods shorten over time, causing hair to become thinner and shorter. This is linked to miscommunication between cell pathways in hair follicles. There's also a change in gene expression related to blood vessels and cell growth in balding hair follicles. The exact molecular causes of AGA are still unclear.
research Is Dehydroepiandrosterone a Hormone?
Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is a prohormone important for producing sex steroids and has potential health benefits.
research Decreased Androgen Receptor Gene Methylation in Premature Pubarche: A Novel Pathogenetic Mechanism?
Reduced AR gene methylation may cause early pubic hair growth in girls.
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 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 Insulin Resistance and Hair Disorders: Idiopathic Hirsutism and Androgenic Alopecia
