research The Diagnosis of Androgenetic Alopecia in Children: Considerations of Pathophysiological Plausibility
AGA in children needs careful diagnosis due to low androgen levels and possible other causes.
research Androgen Actions on the Human Hair Follicle: Perspectives
Androgens have complex effects on hair growth, promoting it in some areas but causing hair loss in others, and our understanding of this is still evolving.
research Significant Effects of Mild Endogenous Hormonal Changes in Humans: Considerations for Low-Dose Testing
Small hormonal imbalances can cause significant health problems, so more sensitive testing for hormone-disrupting chemicals is needed.
research Androgens and Human Hair Growth
Androgens can cause hair growth in some areas and hair loss on the scalp.
research Overexpression of Aldo-Keto Reductase 1C3 in LNCaP Cells Diverts Androgen Metabolism Towards Testosterone Resulting in Resistance to the 5α-Reductase Inhibitor Finasteride
Too much AKR1C3 enzyme causes resistance to finasteride by increasing testosterone.
research Post-Finasteride Syndrome: An Induced Delusional Disorder with the Potential of a Mass Psychogenic Illness?
PFS might be a delusional disorder with potential to become mass psychogenic illness.
research Development of a Liquid Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry-Based Inhibition Assay for Screening Steroid 5-Alpha Reductase in Human and Fish Cell Lines
A new method was created to test the effectiveness of Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) inhibitors, like finasteride and dutasteride, in human and fish cells. The results showed fish cells are more sensitive to these treatments, and dutasteride works better than finasteride in all tested cells.
research Nonclassic Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia and the Heterozygote Carrier
Identifying nonclassic congenital adrenal hyperplasia and carriers of CYP21 mutations is challenging, and genetic counseling is recommended due to their prevalence.
research Hair Follicles and Associated Glands as Androgen Targets
Androgens like testosterone affect hair growth and oil production differently across body parts and individuals.
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 Cutaneous Complications of Chemotherapeutic Agents
Chemotherapy can cause skin problems like hair loss, mouth sores, and skin darkening, and recognizing these can affect treatment decisions.
research Membrane Androgen Receptors May Mediate Androgen Reinforcement
Androgen self-administration might be controlled by membrane receptors, not nuclear ones.
research Testosterone in COVID-19: An Adversary Bane or Comrade Boon
Testosterone's effects on COVID-19 are unclear and need more research.
research How Effective Is Treatment With Antiandrogen Alone in Patients With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome?
Antiandrogens help manage PCOS symptoms but need careful monitoring.
research Dietary Intake of Selenium in Relation to Pubertal Development in Mexican Children
Low selenium intake may delay puberty in boys but not in girls.
research Obtaining a Pregnancy in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Using Myo-Inositol
Myo-inositol-based treatments greatly improve pregnancy chances for women with PCOS.
research Insights Into the Scenario of SARS-CoV-2 Infection in Male Reproductive Toxicity

Eating high-glycemic foods and drinking milk may worsen acne by increasing insulin and IGF-1 levels.
research Testosterone: The Male Sex Hormone
More research is needed to understand how testosterone is maintained in adult males.
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 Androgen Receptor Antagonists Structure-Activity Relationships
Antiandrogens like flutamide are effective in treating conditions like prostate cancer and hair loss, but there's a need for more potent versions. Understanding their structure can help develop better treatments.
