research Carriers of 21-Hydroxylase Deficiency Are Not at Increased Risk for Hyperandrogenism
People who carry the 21-Hydroxylase Deficiency gene are not more likely to have excessive male hormone levels.
research Unchanged Androgen-Binding Properties of Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin in Male Patients with Liver Cirrhosis
SHBG binding properties are unchanged in male liver cirrhosis patients.
research Contraceptive Use in Acne
Hormonal contraceptives can help treat acne by affecting sebum production and androgen levels.
research Markers of Peripheral Androgen Action In Vivo and In Vitro
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is crucial for conditions like male-pattern baldness and acne, and measuring a byproduct, androstanediol glucuronide, is a better way to assess DHT's effects than DHT blood levels.
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 Gonadal Sex Steroids: Production, Action, and Interactions in Mammals
The document concludes that sex hormones are crucial for mammalian reproduction, health, and behavior, and require more research for therapeutic use.
research Diagnosing Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
PCOS is diagnosed when at least two of these three features are present: polycystic ovaries, irregular ovulation, and high androgen levels.
research Effect of Carbamates on mRNA Encoding Lipid Enzymes in Hamster Flank Organs
Carbamates may help treat androgen-dependent conditions by changing how certain lipid enzymes are produced.
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 Prostate Specific Antigen as a Predictive Factor for Androgenemia in Women
PSA can help diagnose high androgen levels in women.
research Androgen Biosynthesis and Gene Defects
Gene mutations can cause problems in male genital development.
research The Influence of Non-Esterified Fatty Acids on Ovarian Androgen Production in IVF – Preliminary Results
High levels of fatty acids are linked to increased androgen production and inflammation in women with PCOS, which may affect IVF outcomes.
research The Efficacy of an Adjuvant Norethisterone (Jenapharm) Therapy in Endometrial Cancer
Norethisterone (jenapharm) therapy is effective for endometrial cancer.
research Androgenetic Alopecia
AGA is a common hair loss affecting both genders, treated with various therapies to promote regrowth and slow thinning.
research Androgens and Cardiovascular Disease
Male hormones may play a role in the development of heart disease, and more research is needed to understand their effects.
research Role of 5α-Reductase in Health and Disease
5α-reductase is essential for male sexual development and its inhibitors have potential in treating various conditions related to hormone action.
research Clinical Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Finasteride
Finasteride helps regrow hair and shrink prostate by reducing DHT, with some sexual side effects.
research Global Adiposity and Thickness of Intraperitoneal and Mesenteric Adipose Tissue Depots Are Increased in Women With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Women with PCOS have more body fat and thicker fat layers in certain abdominal areas than women without PCOS.
research A 12-Week Treatment with the Long-Acting Glucagon-Like Peptide 1 Receptor Agonist Liraglutide Leads to Significant Weight Loss in a Subset of Obese Women with Newly Diagnosed Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Liraglutide caused significant weight loss in some obese women with PCOS, especially those with severe obesity and insulin resistance.
research Male Pattern Hair Loss: Current Understanding
Genetics and hormones cause hair loss; finasteride treats it safely.
research Androgen Binding Profiles of Two Distinct Nuclear Androgen Receptors in Atlantic Croaker (Micropogonias Undulatus)
Different types of androgens bind differently to two receptors, AR1 and AR2, in Atlantic croaker's brain and ovarian tissues, suggesting these receptors may control different androgen actions in fish.
research Acne
Acne significantly affects mental health and quality of life, with research suggesting hormonal and genetic factors in its development and emphasizing early treatment to prevent scarring.
research Molecular Genetic and Endocrine Mechanisms of Hair Growth
Hormones and their receptors, especially androgens, play a key role in hair growth and disorders like baldness.
research Gonadal Dysgenesis and Bone Metabolism
Gonadal dysgenesis, like Turner's and Klinefelter's syndromes, negatively affects bone health, but hormone treatments can help.
research Impact of Metformin and Rosiglitazone Treatment on Glucose Transporter 4 mRNA Expression in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Metformin and rosiglitazone both improved insulin use and hormonal symptoms in women with PCOS.
research 5-Alpha Reductase Deficiency
5-alpha reductase deficiency leads to male sexual development issues and treatments like finasteride help with prostate enlargement and hair loss.
research Vitamin D Receptor Polymorphisms and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: A Systematic Review
The review found no clear link between vitamin D receptor gene variations and polycystic ovary syndrome.
research Androgen Receptor in Rat Liver: Characterization and Separation from a Male-Specific Estrogen-Binding Protein
Male rats have androgen receptors in their liver, which are different from proteins that bind estrogen.
