New treatments for prostate cancer and BPH show promise, including novel compounds that target hormone synthesis and response.
research Update on the Genetics of Androgenetic Alopecia, Female Pattern Hair Loss, and Alopecia Areata: Implications for Molecular Diagnostic Testing
Genetic factors affect hair loss, and molecular testing may help predict, diagnose, and treat it.
research Novel Adenosine Triphosphate-Binding Cassette, Subfamily A, Member 12 Mutations Associated with Congenital Ichthyosiform Erythroderma
New ABCA12 gene mutations were linked to a skin condition with scaling and hair loss, and a treatment helped with hair loss in a related case.
research Improving Selective Androgen Receptor Modulator Discovery and Preclinical Evaluation
We need better ways to test and understand SARMs to make safer and more effective treatments.
research Androgenic Alopecia: A Counterproductive Outcome of the Anabolic Effect of Androgens
Male pattern baldness is an unintended side effect of the body's use of androgens for muscle growth, especially in those genetically prone to it.
research Exclusive Androgenic Effect of Dehydroepiandrosterone in Sebaceous Glands of Rat Skin
DHEA acts like a male hormone on rat skin glands and doesn't turn into female hormones there.
research Kinetic Analysis of LY320236: Competitive Inhibitor of Type I and Non-Competitive Inhibitor of Type II Human Steroid 5α-Reductase
LY320236 is a strong blocker of two enzymes that change testosterone into dihydrotestosterone and might help treat conditions related to male hormones.
research Other Antiandrogens: Alternative Treatments for Acne and Hirsutism
Spironolactone works well for acne and hirsutism, isotretinoin is very effective for acne and may have antiandrogenic effects, and 5 alpha-reductase inhibitors should be considered antiandrogens.
research Current Treatment of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia
TURP is the best treatment for BPH, but some patients prefer medications like alpha-blockers and finasteride.
research Endocrine Treatment of Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy: Current Concepts
New hormonal treatments for enlarged prostate show promise for safer, effective non-surgical options.
research Is There a Role for 5α-Reductase Inhibitors in Transgender Individuals?
5α-reductase inhibitors like finasteride may not be effective or safe for transgender individuals, and more research is needed.
research Androgenetic Alopecia: Effects of Oral Finasteride on Hormone Profile, Reproduction, and Sexual Function
Finasteride safely treats hair loss without harming hormones or reproduction, but may slightly reduce sexual function.
research Distinct Transcriptional Profiles of the Female, Male, and Finasteride-Induced Feminized Male Anogenital Region in Rat Fetuses
Finasteride exposure affects gene expression and anogenital distance in male rat fetuses.
research Sexual Problems of Men With Androgenic Alopecia Treated With 5-Alpha Reductase Inhibitors
Men using hair loss drugs like finasteride may experience sexual side effects like erectile dysfunction, but it's unclear who will be affected and when. Treating depression and sexual symptoms is suggested, as these men often have higher rates of both. More research is needed to understand why these side effects occur.
research Male, Female, Other: Transgender and the Impact in Primary Care
Healthcare providers need better education and resources to give competent and sensitive care to transgender patients.
research Recommendations for Endocrine Treatment of Patients with Gender Dysphoria
The document concludes that hormone therapy is essential for treating gender dysphoria, with specific drugs and monitoring protocols recommended for safety and effectiveness.
research The Biology of Hair Growth
Hair growth is influenced by hormones and goes through different phases; androgens can both promote and inhibit hair growth depending on the body area.
research Expression of E-SOD, GPX5 mRNAs and Immunoexpression of Cu/ZnSOD in Epididymal Epithelial Cells of Finasteride-Treated Rats
Finasteride changes antioxidant enzyme expression, possibly affecting sperm protection in rats.
research Hyperadrenocorticism Associated With Sex Steroid Excess
Dogs with sex hormone imbalances may not drink or pee a lot but often lose hair on their body and can have reproductive system issues.
research Enhancement of In Vitro Hair Shaft Elongation in Follicles Stored in Buffers That Prevent Follicle Cell Apoptosis
Storing hair follicles in special buffers with added protective substances can increase hair growth and reduce cell death.
research Clinical Development of Topoisomerase-Interactive Drugs
New drugs targeting DNA enzymes show promise for cancer treatment but have side effects like immune system suppression and hair loss.
research The Function of Zinc in Animal, Plant, and Human Nutrition
