Enobosarm significantly increased muscle mass and improved physical function in elderly men and postmenopausal women without serious side effects.
research The Mechanisms of Anabolic Steroids, Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators, and Myostatin Inhibitors
Anabolic steroids boost muscle growth, SARMs increase muscle mass and bone density without side effects, and myostatin inhibitors block a protein that stops muscle growth, but each has potential risks.
research Recent Discoveries and Developments of Androgen Receptor-Based Therapy for Prostate Cancer
New treatments for prostate cancer are less toxic and show promise, but more research is needed to enhance their effectiveness and reduce side effects.
research Rational Design of a Topical Androgen Receptor Antagonist for the Suppression of Sebum Production with Properties Suitable for Follicular Delivery
A new compound was created in 2010 that can control oil production when applied to the skin, and its effects are completely reversible after two weeks.

The vitamin D receptor can work without its usual activating molecule.
research Family Planning 2011: Better Use of Existing Methods, New Strategies, and More Informed Choices for Female Contraception
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.
research The Role of Oral Contraceptives in the Treatment of Hyperandrogenic Disorders
Oral contraceptives help treat hyperandrogenic disorders, improving symptoms like excessive hair and acne.
research Endocrinological Evaluation and Hormonal Therapy for Women with Difficult Acne
Hormonal therapy is a good option for women with severe acne, especially when there's a chance of hormone imbalance.
research Intracrine and Myotrophic Roles of 5α-Reductase and Androgens
Muscles can make their own androgens, which may help muscle growth.
research Allopregnanolone Is Required for Prepulse Inhibition Deficits Induced by D1 Dopamine Receptor Activation
Allopregnanolone is needed for certain brain processing issues caused by D1 dopamine receptor activation.
research Intratumoral De Novo Steroid Synthesis Activates Androgen Receptor in Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer and Is Upregulated by Treatment with CYP17A1 Inhibitors
Prostate cancer cells can make their own androgens to activate the androgen receptor, and treatments like abiraterone may increase this ability, suggesting new therapies should target the entire steroid-making pathway.
research Cloning of a Functional Vitamin D Receptor from the Lamprey, an Ancient Vertebrate Lacking a Calcified Skeleton and Teeth
Lampreys have a functional vitamin D receptor that may help detoxify harmful substances.
research The Transcriptional Co-Activator cAMP Response Element-Binding Protein-Binding Protein Is Expressed in Prostate Cancer and Enhances Androgen- and Anti-Androgen-Induced Androgen Receptor Function
A protein called CBP is found in prostate cancer and can increase the effectiveness of certain prostate cancer treatments.
research The Mineralocorticoid Receptor as a Novel Player in Skin Biology: Beyond the Renal Horizon?
The mineralocorticoid receptor may play a role in skin and hair health and could be a new target for treating related disorders.
research Advances in Mitochondria-Centered Mechanism Behind the Roles of Androgens and Androgen Receptor in the Regulation of Glucose and Lipid Metabolism
Androgens and androgen receptors are important for metabolic health, affecting how the body uses glucose and fats through mitochondrial function.
research Polymeric Micelle Mediated Follicular Delivery of Spironolactone: Targeting the Mineralocorticoid Receptor to Prevent Glucocorticoid-Induced Activation and Delayed Cutaneous Wound Healing
Using polymeric micelles to deliver spironolactone topically could improve wound healing in skin affected by glucocorticoids.
research Hair Matrix Cell Kinetics: A Selective Review
