research Physiology of the Hypothalamic Pituitary Gonadal Axis in the Male
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.
research Steroidogenesis of the Testis: New Genes and Pathways
New genes and pathways are important for testosterone production and male sexual development.
research Anti-Androgenic Activities of Ganoderma Lucidum
Ganoderma lucidum, a type of mushroom, may help treat enlarged prostate by blocking testosterone conversion.
research Anti-Androgenic Activities of the Triterpenoids Fraction of Ganoderma Lucidum
The triterpenoids from Ganoderma lucidum can block testosterone effects and may help treat enlarged prostate.
research Hypogonadism as a Reversible Cause of Torsades de Pointes in Men
Low testosterone can cause a heart rhythm problem in men, but fixing it can prevent the issue.
research Clinical, Metabolic, and Endocrine Parameters in Response to Metformin and Lifestyle Intervention in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: A Randomized, Double-Blind, and Placebo-Controlled Trial
Metformin combined with lifestyle changes improves insulin resistance and reduces testosterone levels in women with PCOS more than lifestyle changes alone.
research Epitestosterone: Regulatory Roles in Androgen-Dependent Processes
Epitestosterone may counteract testosterone's effects and has roles in body processes like prostate growth and hair distribution.
research Regulatory Roles of Androgens in Cutaneous Wound Healing
Testosterone may slow down wound healing and increase inflammation.
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.
research Male Androgenetic Alopecia
DHT, a testosterone byproduct, causes male pattern baldness.
research Hair Follicles and Associated Glands as Androgen Targets
Androgens like testosterone affect hair growth and oil production differently across body parts and individuals.
research Effects of a Low-Dose Desogestrel-Ethinylestradiol Combination on Hirsutism, Androgens, and Sex Hormone Binding Globulin in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Low-dose oral contraceptives reduced hair growth and testosterone levels in women with polycystic ovary syndrome.
research Anti-Androgenic Activity of Myricae Cortex: Isolation of Active Constituents from Bark of Myrica Rubra
The bark of Myrica rubra contains compounds that can block testosterone effects and might help prevent hair loss.
research The Effect of Spironolactone on Genital Skin 5α-Reductase Activity
Spironolactone reduces the enzyme activity that converts testosterone to DHT, helping treat excessive hair growth in women.
research Interaction Between Dermal Papilla Cells and Follicular Epithelial Cells In Vitro: Effect of Androgen
Testosterone helps beard and axillary hair cells grow by releasing growth factors from dermal papilla cells.
research Sex Steroid Synthesis in Human Skin In Situ: The Roles of Aromatase and Steroidogenic Acute Regulatory Protein in the Homeostasis of Human Skin
Human skin produces sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone, influenced by ARO and StAR, which may affect skin elasticity and hair growth.
research Biology of 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.
research Androgen Receptor Gene CAG Repeat Polymorphism in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Longer CAG repeat lengths in the androgen receptor gene are linked to higher testosterone levels in women with PCOS.
research No Evidence That 2D:4D Is Related to the Number of CAG Repeats in the Androgen Receptor Gene
Finger length ratios are not linked to the number of specific gene repeats affecting testosterone sensitivity.
research Low Sex-Hormone Binding Globulin Levels in Young Women with Diffuse Hair Loss
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 Animal Models of Androgen-Dependent Disorders of the Pilosebaceous Apparatus
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.
research Basics of Androgen Synthesis and Action
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.
