New genes and pathways are important for testosterone production and male sexual development.

Ganoderma lucidum, a type of mushroom, may help treat enlarged prostate by blocking testosterone conversion.

The triterpenoids from Ganoderma lucidum can block testosterone effects and may help treat enlarged prostate.

Testosterone replacement can help women with low libido and mood, but they need to have enough estrogen first to avoid side effects.

Epitestosterone may counteract testosterone's effects and has roles in body processes like prostate growth and hair distribution.

Testosterone may slow down wound healing and increase inflammation.

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

Dihydrotestosterone increases the activity of an enzyme in pubic skin cells that converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone.

Metformin and rosiglitazone improve blood vessel function in women with PCOS, with metformin also reducing insulin resistance and testosterone levels.

DHT, a testosterone byproduct, causes male pattern baldness.

Androgens like testosterone affect hair growth and oil production differently across body parts and individuals.

Low-dose oral contraceptives reduced hair growth and testosterone levels in women with polycystic ovary syndrome.

The bark of Myrica rubra contains compounds that can block testosterone effects and might help prevent hair loss.

Testosterone replacement may improve sexual desire and bone health in women with low androgen levels, but more research is needed on its long-term safety.

Spironolactone reduces the enzyme activity that converts testosterone to DHT, helping treat excessive hair growth in women.

Testosterone helps beard and axillary hair cells grow by releasing growth factors from dermal papilla cells.

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

Testosterone therapy is generally safe for transmen, improves sexual function, and has manageable health risks with proper monitoring.

Longer CAG repeat lengths in the androgen receptor gene are linked to higher testosterone levels in women with PCOS.

Finger length ratios are not linked to the number of specific gene repeats affecting testosterone sensitivity.

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

Testosterone causes hair loss in AGA mice, which are good for testing baldness treatments, and both minoxidil and cyproterone acetate can prevent this hair loss.

Androgens like testosterone are important hormones for both men and women, made differently in each sex and affecting the body by regulating genes and quick interactions with cell components.

Epitestosterone may act as a weak antiandrogen and can inhibit an enzyme involved in testosterone metabolism.

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.

Some antiandrogens may lower testosterone better than others, but it's unclear which is best for feminization in transgender women; more research is needed.

Human beard hair follicles change testosterone into other related hormones, but don't much change androstenedione into testosterone.

Testosterone therapy may slightly improve sexual function in postmenopausal women, but its long-term safety is unknown.

Testosterone is made by Leydig cells, is active when not bound to proteins, and works by binding to receptors in muscles and other tissues.
