research Effects of Non-Contingent Cocaine on 3alpha-Androstanediol: Disruption of Male Sexual Behavior
Cocaine impairs male sexual behavior and alters testosterone metabolism in the brain.
research Synthesis and Actions of 5α-Reduced Metabolites of Testosterone in the Nervous System
Testosterone and its metabolites affect brain functions and could help treat neurological disorders.
research Intracrine Androgen Biosynthesis, Metabolism, and Action Revisited
The document concludes that blocking the internal pathways that create androgens might help treat cancers that depend on sex hormones.
research Mechanism of Androgenic Alopecia: Addressing Speculations Through Empirical Evidence
Hair loss in men is mainly caused by hormones and genes, and while current treatments can slow it down, they can't fully stop it.
research Transcriptomic Profiling in Silurana Tropicalis Testes Exposed to Finasteride
Finasteride affects frog testes by increasing testosterone, decreasing 5α-DHT, and impacting genes related to reproduction and other functions.
research The Aromatase Inhibitor Fadrozole and the 5-Reductase Inhibitor Finasteride Affect Gonadal Differentiation and Gene Expression in the Frog Silurana Tropicalis
Fadrozole and Finasteride change frog sex ratios and cause intersex animals with altered gene expressions.
research Androgen Therapy in Women: A Reappraisal: An Endocrine Society Clinical Practice Guideline
The guidelines advise against using testosterone and DHEA in women for most conditions due to safety and effectiveness concerns, but suggest considering testosterone for postmenopausal women with low sexual desire.
research Consequences of Steroid-5α-Reductase Deficiency and Inhibition in Vertebrates
Lack or blocking of SRD5a, a key component in hormone creation, can lead to conditions like pseudohermaphrodism and affect hair growth, bone mass, muscle strength, and reproductive health. More research is needed on its regulation from fertilization to adulthood.
research Evidence for Increased 5α-Reductase Activity During Early Childhood in Daughters of Women With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Young girls whose mothers have PCOS may have higher activity of a specific enzyme that could lead to developing PCOS later.
research Consensus on Women's Health Aspects of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: The Amsterdam ESHRE/ASRM-Sponsored 3rd PCOS Consensus Workshop Group
Experts agree that PCOS affects women's health in complex ways, but more research is needed to understand and treat it effectively.
research Polycystic Ovary Syndrome in Adolescence
PCOS starts in adolescence with hormonal issues, leading to adult health problems, and early treatment is crucial.
research Exercise Activates the PI3K-AKT Signal Pathway by Decreasing the Expression of 5α-Reductase Type 1 in PCOS Rats
Exercise improves insulin sensitivity and hormone regulation in PCOS rats.
research The Post-Finasteride Syndrome: Clinical Manifestation of Drug-Induced Epigenetics Due to Endocrine Disruption
Finasteride can cause lasting sexual dysfunction, depression, and other side effects, needing more research for treatment.
research Hair Growth-Promoting Effect of Resveratrol in Mice, Human Hair Follicles, and Dermal Papilla Cells
Resveratrol may help hair grow, but more research is needed.
research Androgens and Alopecia
Male hormones, particularly DHT, are linked to male pattern hair loss, and treatments like finasteride can help, but they don't work for postmenopausal women's hair loss, which may have different causes.
research Bone Density Is Normal in Male Rats Treated with Finasteride
Finasteride doesn't affect bone density in male rats.
research Bone Density Is Normal in Male Rats Treated with Finasteride
Finasteride doesn't affect bone density in male rats.
research Finasteride
Finasteride treats enlarged prostate, shrinks it, improves urination, but may cause sexual dysfunction and isn't for women or children.
research A Teenage Girl with Unexpected Pubertal Changes
The girl's unexpected pubic hair growth led to a diagnosis different from complete androgen insensitivity syndrome.
research S2 PSA: Reliable or Not Reliable?
PSA testing is a reliable method for detecting prostate cancer, and opioids may lower PSA levels, but triglycerides don't affect prostate cancer risk.
research Ginsenoside F2 Reduces Hair Loss by Controlling Apoptosis Through the Sterol Regulatory Element-Binding Protein Cleavage Activating Protein and Transforming Growth Factor-β Pathways in a Dihydrotestosterone-Induced Mouse Model
Ginsenoside F2 may help prevent hair loss and promote hair growth better than finasteride.
research Male Breast Cancer and 5α-Reductase Inhibitors Finasteride and Dutasteride
Using finasteride or dutasteride does not increase the risk of male breast cancer.
research Is The Metabolism Of Testosterone To 5α-Dihydrotestosterone Required For Androgen Action In The Skin?
Testosterone conversion to 5α-DHT may not be essential for its effects on the skin.
research Androgen Receptor Activation Integrates Complex Transcriptional Effects in Osteoblasts, Involving the Growth Factors TGF-β and IGF-I, and Transcription Factor C/EBPδ
DHT affects bone growth by altering gene activity in osteoblasts, potentially complicating steroid use.
