Young women with diffuse hair loss may have low SHBG levels, which could lead to more active testosterone and contribute to their hair loss.
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 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 The In Vivo and In Vitro Effects of Terminalia Bellirica Fruit Extract on Testosterone-Induced Hair Loss
Terminalia bellirica extract may help promote hair growth and prevent hair loss caused by testosterone.

research The Dihydrotestosterone Hypothesis of Prostate Cancer and Its Therapeutic Implications
The document suggests that targeting the hormone DHT could be a more effective treatment for prostate cancer than targeting testosterone.
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 Improvement of Endothelial Function with Metformin and Rosiglitazone Treatment in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Metformin and rosiglitazone improve blood vessel function in women with PCOS, with metformin also reducing insulin resistance and testosterone levels.
