research Ketoconazole Therapy for Women with Acne and/or Hirsutism
Ketoconazole reduced hair growth and improved acne in women, but caused side effects needing careful monitoring.
research 5α-Reductase Isozymes and Androgen Actions in the Prostate
5α‐reductase isozymes are crucial for prostate development and health, and targeting them can help prevent and treat prostate issues.
research Androgenic Modulation of Arterial Baroreceptor Dysfunction and Neuroinflammation in Endotoxic Male Rats
Testosterone affects blood pressure control and inflammation in male rats with endotoxic shock, and blocking certain hormones may help treat it.
research The Mechanisms of Anabolic Steroids, Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators, and Myostatin Inhibitors
Anabolic steroids boost muscle growth, SARMs increase muscle mass and bone density without side effects, and myostatin inhibitors block a protein that stops muscle growth, but each has potential risks.
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.
