Certain 4-azasteroids are effective at blocking the enzyme that processes testosterone in human skin and could help treat acne, excessive hair growth, and male pattern baldness.

Androgens, like DHT, affect hair growth and treatments like finasteride may help.

Creating stronger blockers for skin enzymes might lead to better treatment for conditions like acne and excessive hair growth.

A 5 mg dose of transdermal testosterone cream effectively restores testosterone levels in postmenopausal women.

Finasteride helps prevent kidney stones, but side effects need more research.

Finasteride doesn't affect oral testosterone undecanoate, and high DHT levels may cause acne, prostate issues, and hair loss.

Researchers created immortal human skin cells with constant testosterone receptor activity to study hair loss and test treatments.

5α-Reductase inhibitors do not consistently increase testosterone levels in the blood.

High testosterone levels in 20% of the women studied may indicate PCOS, while 80% had low levels with potential health impacts.

Long-term finasteride use doesn't change bone density or metabolism.

Human skin produces sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone, influenced by ARO and StAR, which may affect skin elasticity and hair growth.

More research is needed to understand how testosterone is maintained in adult males.

The document explains how the male reproductive system works, its role in making testosterone, and how conditions like obesity can disrupt it, leading to low testosterone and fertility issues.

The document suggests that targeting the hormone DHT could be a more effective treatment for prostate cancer than targeting testosterone.

Beard cells, unlike scalp cells, produce growth factors in response to testosterone, which may explain differences in hair growth.

Testosterone and dihydrotestosterone affect hair growth, and new techniques like the folliculogram help study it, but fully understanding hair growth is still complex.

Young women with diffuse hair loss may have low SHBG levels, which could lead to more active testosterone and contribute to their hair loss.

Hormone therapy affects hair growth in transgender individuals, with testosterone potentially causing hair loss in trans men and estrogen reducing facial/body hair in trans women; treatment options vary.

Testosterone's effects on COVID-19 are unclear and need more research.

Finasteride reduces testosterone conversion, progesterone lessens this, and levamisole enhances finasteride's effect.

Finasteride helps treat skin issues like acne and baldness by blocking testosterone conversion.

Testosterone affects blood pressure control and inflammation in male rats with endotoxic shock, and blocking certain hormones may help treat it.

New steroidal compounds moderately block an enzyme related to testosterone conversion, less effectively than finasteride.

Finasteride doesn't affect bone density in male rats.

Different hair growth phases affect how follicles respond to X-rays, and hormones like testosterone and dihydrotestosterone play a key role in baldness; transplanted hair can grow on bald scalp areas.

Hidradenitis suppurativa improves with antiandrogen therapy.

Androgens may influence T cells, contributing to higher autoimmune liver disease risk in women.

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.

Finasteride is effective in stopping hair loss and promoting regrowth in most men with mild side effects.

Male hormones may play a role in the development of heart disease, and more research is needed to understand their effects.
