Scientists have developed a new method to detect steroid abuse in athletes using cell-based tests, which could be the future of anti-doping methods.

Androgens and SARMs play a role in body mass, frailty, skin health, and hair growth, and are used in treating prostate cancer, acne, and hair loss, with potential for new uses and improved versions in the future.

Nandrolone and oxandrolone could help treat male health issues like muscle loss and low testosterone.

The conclusion is that there is a high demand for new contraceptives that provide both pregnancy prevention and protection against STIs, along with additional health benefits.

Genetic defects in testosterone production can cause hormonal and developmental disorders, and more research is needed to understand androgen regulation and develop safer treatments.

Clinicians should use social and prescription data to track trends in performance-enhancing drug use.

Neurosteroids can influence behavior by modulating brain inhibition, with potential for treating psychiatric disorders.

Coumarin derivatives show promise as anti-estrogenic agents for treating breast cancer, with some in clinical trials.

Potassium channel openers like minoxidil help hair grow by acting on hair follicles.

Testosterone replacement therapy helps manage deficiency and has various methods, but requires careful monitoring to avoid side effects.

New patents show progress in developing drugs targeting the Wnt pathway for diseases like cancer and hair loss.

Potassium channel openers are effective in treating heart conditions, high blood pressure, pulmonary diseases, bladder issues, and hair loss, but more selective drugs are needed.

AGA causes hair loss by shrinking hair follicles due to DHT binding, and can be treated with finasteride and minoxidil.

Dermal Papilla cells are a promising tool for evaluating hair growth treatments.

Low testosterone and 5α-reductase inhibitors can harm men's metabolic and sexual health; testosterone therapy may help, but discussing 5α-RIs' side effects is important.

The document concludes that targeting the androgen receptor may be a promising breast cancer treatment, especially for certain types.

DHT affects bone growth by altering gene activity in osteoblasts, potentially complicating steroid use.

The study concluded that both estrogen and androgen receptors, which decrease with age, are linked to skin aging and may be hormonally regulated.

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.

The document concludes that sex hormones and related compounds have various effects on health, with both potential benefits and risks.

Blocking the virus's entry into cells by targeting certain pathways could lead to early COVID-19 treatments.

Glucocorticoids and sex hormones affect skin health, with potential for targeted treatments to minimize side effects and treat skin conditions.

Mice without the vitamin D receptor have bone issues and other health problems, suggesting vitamin D is important for preventing various diseases in humans.

Blocking COX, especially COX-2, in the skin can reduce inflammation and pain and may help prevent skin cancer.

Stress can cause hair loss by negatively affecting hair follicles and this effect might be reversed with specific treatments.

Potassium channel openers show promise for treating heart disease and other conditions, but more research is needed to fully understand their effects and safety.

Certain inhibitors can potentially treat prostate cancer and other hormone-dependent conditions by controlling sex hormone levels in cells.

Two enzymes regulate androgen receptor activity, affecting treatments for androgen insufficiency and benign prostatic hyperplasia.

Research from 2011 to 2020 shows androgen receptors could be key for prognosis and treatment in certain breast cancers.

Some people experience lasting sexual, psychological, and sleep problems after using finasteride or SSRI antidepressants, possibly due to similar underlying causes.
