Epitestosterone may act as a weak antiandrogen and can inhibit an enzyme involved in testosterone metabolism.
research Azasteroids as Inhibitors of Testosterone 5α-Reductase in Mammalian Skin
Certain 4-azasteroids are effective at blocking the enzyme that processes testosterone in human skin and could help treat acne, excessive hair growth, and male pattern baldness.
research Androgens Induce Sebaceous Differentiation in Sebocyte Cells Expressing a Stable Functional Androgen Receptor
Androgens cause oil-producing skin cells with androgen receptors to mature and produce more oil.
research Characteristics of Flutamide Action on Prostatic and Testicular Functions in the Rat
Flutamide combined with an LHRH agonist effectively inhibits prostate growth, suggesting it could treat prostate cancer.
research Clinical Applications of Antiandrogens
Antiandrogens are effective for conditions like prostate cancer and skin issues, but more research is needed to confirm their benefits and minimize side effects.
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 The Impact of VDR Expression and Regulation In Vivo
VDR regulation varies by tissue and is crucial for its biological functions.
research Cloning, Expression, and Characterization of Rhesus Macaque Types 1 and 2 5alpha-Reductase: Evidence for Mechanism-Based Inhibition by Finasteride
Finasteride inhibits enzyme activity in rhesus macaques, suggesting they're useful for evaluating similar drugs.
research Pharmacological Basis for Clinical Use of Antiandrogens
Cyproterone acetate is used to treat conditions like prostate cancer, early puberty, excessive sexual drive, and female androgenization by blocking male sex hormones.
research Simultaneous Quantitation of Nine Hydroxy-Androgens and Their Conjugates in Human Serum by Stable Isotope Dilution Liquid Chromatography Electrospray Ionization Tandem Mass Spectrometry
A new method accurately measures nine specific hormones in human blood.
research Progesterone-Induced Stimulation of Mammary Tumorigenesis Is Due to the Progesterone Metabolite, 5α-Dihydroprogesterone (5αP), and Can Be Suppressed by the 5α-Reductase Inhibitor, Finasteride
Progesterone byproduct 5αP stimulates mammary tumor growth, but finasteride can suppress it.
research A Comparative Study of Aldactone and Diane in the Treatment of Hirsutism
Aldactone was more effective in reducing hair growth in women with hirsutism than Diane, despite having less impact on hormone levels.
research Genetic Regulation of the Androgen Receptor: A Study of Testicular Feminization in the Mouse
The study concludes that a genetic mutation in TFM mice leads to reduced androgen receptor activity, affecting the body's response to male hormones.
research Expression of 11β-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase Type 1 in Visceral and Subcutaneous Adipose Tissues of Patients with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Is Associated with Adiposity
Increased HSD11B1 enzyme expression is linked to higher body fat and insulin resistance.
research The 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3-Independent Actions of the Vitamin D Receptor in Skin
