Postmenopausal women with hyperandrogenism didn't have better metabolic health even after their testosterone levels became normal.
research Effects of the Chronic Use of Finasteride on Testicular Weight and Spermatogenesis in Wistar Rats
Finasteride doesn't change rat testicle weight or sperm production.
research In Vitro Hair Follicle Growth Model for Drug Testing
Researchers developed a new method to test hair growth drugs and found that adult cells are best for hair growth, but the method needs improvement as it didn't create mature hair follicles.

research Daily Intake of Alfalfa Sprouts, But Not Broccoli Sprouts, Influences Plasma Levels of Androgen in Middle-Aged Males
Eating alfalfa sprouts every day can raise testosterone levels in middle-aged men, but broccoli sprouts don't have this effect.
research The Influence of Obesity on Androstenedione to Testosterone Ratio in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and Hyperandrogenemia
Obesity changes androgen levels in women with PCOS, leading to higher testosterone relative to androstenedione.
research Factors Influencing Hydrocortisone Permeation Into Human Hair Follicles: Use of the Skin Sandwich System
Different factors like pH, gel type, and chemical enhancers affect how well hydrocortisone gets into hair follicles, and less hydrated skin doesn't work well with the test method.
research Dihydrotestosterone Stimulates 5α-Reductase Activity in Pubic Skin Fibroblasts
Dihydrotestosterone increases the activity of an enzyme in pubic skin cells that converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone.
research Basics of Androgen Synthesis and Action
Androgens like testosterone are important hormones for both men and women, made differently in each sex and affecting the body by regulating genes and quick interactions with cell components.
research Effect of Finasteride, a 5 Alpha-Reductase Inhibitor, on Serum Gonadotropins in Normal Men
Finasteride doesn't affect hormone levels in normal men.
research Development of Prostate Cancer in a Patient with Primary Hypogonadism: Intratumoral Steroidogenesis in Prostate Cancer Tissues
Prostate cancer can progress even with low testosterone due to internal hormone production in the tumor.
research 5α-Reductase Inhibitors Do Not Prevent the Development and Progression of Urothelial Cancer: In Vitro Evidence
5α-reductase inhibitors don't stop bladder cancer from developing or getting worse.
research Insights From Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry-Measured Androgens in Indian Women With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Androstenedione is better than testosterone for diagnosing PCOS in Indian women.
research SHISA6 Confers Resistance to Differentiation-Promoting Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling in Mouse Spermatogenic Stem Cells
SHISA6 helps maintain certain stem cells in mouse testes by blocking signals that would otherwise cause them to differentiate.
research Established Risk Factors for Coronary Heart Disease Are Unrelated to Androgen-Induced Baldness in Female-to-Male Transsexuals
Baldness caused by male hormones in female-to-male transsexuals doesn't increase the risk of heart disease.
research Effects of Pre- and Post-Pubertal Dihydrotestosterone Treatment on Penile Length in 5α-Reductase Type 2 Deficiency
Dihydrotestosterone treatment can help penis growth in boys with 5α-reductase deficiency but doesn't fully normalize size after puberty.
