Treatment during development affects hormone balance and sexual behavior in male rats.
research Daily Intake of Alfalfa Sprouts, But Not Broccoli Sprouts, Influences Plasma Levels of Androgen in Middle-Aged Males
Eating alfalfa sprouts every day can raise testosterone levels in middle-aged men, but broccoli sprouts don't have this effect.
research Role of 5α-Reductase in Health and Disease
5α-reductase is essential for male sexual development and its inhibitors have potential in treating various conditions related to hormone action.
research New Steps Forward in the Neuroactive Steroid Field
Neuroactive steroids could become safe, effective treatments with more understanding of their complex brain actions and metabolism.
research The SAHA Syndrome: Overview and Classification
SAHA syndrome is a condition in women involving skin and hair issues, often related to hormonal imbalances, and is treated based on the underlying cause.
research Immunohistochemical Evaluation of Androgen Receptor and Nerve Structure Density in Human Prepuce from Patients with Persistent Sexual Side Effects after Finasteride Use for Androgenetic Alopecia
Finasteride, a hair loss drug, may cause long-term sexual side effects due to changes in hormone receptor levels.
research Cholesterol Homeostasis: Links to Hair Follicle Biology and Hair Disorders
Cholesterol balance is important for hair health, and problems with it can lead to hair loss conditions.
research Thyroid Hormones and Androgens Differentially Regulate Gene Expression in Testes and Ovaries of Sexually Mature Silurana Tropicalis
Thyroid hormones and androgens affect gene expression in frog reproductive organs differently between males and females.
research Estrogen and Androgen Signaling in the Pathogenesis of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia
Hormonal interactions, especially involving DHT and estrogen, play a key role in BPH development and treatment.
research Phytochemicals With Anti 5-Alpha-Reductase Activity: A Prospective For Prostate Cancer Treatment
Plant-based compounds might be a promising alternative for prostate cancer treatment with fewer side effects.
research 5α-Reductase Type 2 Gene Variant Associations with Prostate Cancer Risk, Circulating Hormone Levels, and Androgenetic Alopecia
A49T gene variant linked to higher prostate cancer risk, lower hormone levels, and slightly reduced balding risk.
research Molecular Mechanisms of Androgenetic Alopecia
AGA causes hair loss by shrinking hair follicles due to DHT binding, and can be treated with finasteride and minoxidil.
research Effect of Testosterone Supplementation With and Without a Dual 5α-Reductase Inhibitor on Fat-Free Mass in Men With Suppressed Testosterone Production
Testosterone's muscle-building effects do not require its conversion to DHT.
research Sebocytes Are the Key Regulators of Androgen Homeostasis in Human Skin
Sebocytes play a key role in controlling androgen levels in human skin.
research Male Androgenetic Alopecia
DHT, a testosterone byproduct, causes male pattern baldness.
research Development of a Liquid Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry-Based Inhibition Assay for Screening Steroid 5-Alpha Reductase in Human and Fish Cell Lines
A new method was created to test the effectiveness of Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) inhibitors, like finasteride and dutasteride, in human and fish cells. The results showed fish cells are more sensitive to these treatments, and dutasteride works better than finasteride in all tested cells.
