Steroid sex hormones activate matriptase in prostate cancer cells but not in breast cancer cells.

Androgens are important for female fertility and could help in IVF treatment, but also play a role in causing PCOS.

Athletes use steroids to enhance performance despite health risks and legal issues, and education on their dangers is needed.

Understanding how DHT works is important for diagnosing and treating hormone-related disorders.

We need to learn more about 5α-reductases and neuroactive steroids to safely make drugs targeting these enzymes.

Using β-cyclodextrin derivatives improves the solubility and bioavailability of steroidal drugs.

The 0.25% finasteride solution, when applied once a day, effectively reduces scalp DHT, potentially minimizing sexual side-effects linked to a systemic DHT reduction.

Two new compounds were found to build bone and muscle without affecting reproductive organs and skin oil glands.

Muscles can make their own androgens, which may help muscle growth.

Male rats grow hair faster than females, and certain hormones can slow or slightly increase hair growth, but not significantly beyond natural rates.

Overweight women with PCOS are more likely to have excess male hormones.

Androgens and SARMs play a role in body mass, frailty, skin health, and hair growth, and are used in treating prostate cancer, acne, and hair loss, with potential for new uses and improved versions in the future.

Finasteride shows promise for treating hair loss and excessive hair growth, but more research is needed to confirm its effectiveness and safety.

Hormonal therapies like cyproterone acetate and spironolactone may help some women with hair loss, but finasteride 1mg is not useful, and the effectiveness of other treatments is still unclear.

A reliable model for screening type II 5α-reductase inhibitors was created and validated.

Cyclosporin extends hair growth in mice, but high-dose corticosteroids block this effect.

Guava leaf extract may help treat hair loss and protect cells by blocking certain genes and fighting damaging molecules.

High androgen levels in postmenopausal women may suggest an ovarian tumor, and removing it can improve heart and metabolic health.

Metformin is less effective in men with early-onset hair loss.

Dihydroartemisinin helps reduce prostate enlargement in rats by stopping the growth of prostate cells.

Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) mainly affects nearby cells, doesn't significantly change prostate hormonal environment or cancer risk, and doesn't play a main role in causing hair loss or acne. More research is needed on its effects on heart health, sexual function, and bone health.

Researchers found four natural compounds that can change DHT levels in prostate cancer cells.

Finasteride changes hormone levels and certain proteins in rats, but these effects can be reversed after stopping the drug.

Oxidative stress and immune dysfunction are linked to both Hashimoto's thyroiditis and polycystic ovary syndrome, with diet and specific treatments important for managing these conditions.

Some common medications may harm male fertility by affecting hormones, sperm production, and sexual function.

Dutasteride, usually used for prostate issues and hair loss, could potentially treat Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) due to its neuroprotective, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties, but more testing is needed.
