Proxalutamide improved recovery, lowered death rates, and reduced hospital stay for COVID-19 patients.
research The Antiandrogen Enzalutamide Downregulates TMPRSS2 and Reduces Cellular Entry of SARS-CoV-2 in Human Lung Cells
The drug enzalutamide may reduce the ability of the virus causing COVID-19 to enter lung cells.
research TMPRSS2, Required for SARS-CoV-2 Entry, Is Downregulated in Lung Cells by Enzalutamide, a Prostate Cancer Therapeutic
A prostate cancer drug can lower the levels of a protein that the coronavirus uses to enter lung cells.
research Enzalutamide, a Prostate Cancer Therapeutic, Downregulates TMPRSS2 in Lung and Reduces Cellular Entry of SARS-CoV-2
Enzalutamide, a prostate cancer drug, may help prevent COVID-19 by blocking the virus from entering lung cells.
research Finasteride Induces Epigenetic Alteration of TMPRSS2 Gene Expression: A Potential Role in Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 Inhibition
Finasteride may help reduce COVID-19 infection by altering a key gene.
research Inhibition of SARS-CoV-2 Entry Through the ACE2/TMPRSS2 Pathway: A Promising Approach for Uncovering Early COVID-19 Drug Therapies
Blocking the virus's entry into cells by targeting certain pathways could lead to early COVID-19 treatments.
research From Bedside to Bench: Regulation of Host Factors in SARS-CoV-2 Infection
The conclusion is that certain genetic factors and blood types may affect COVID-19 severity, but changes in ACE2 and TMPRSS2 genes are not clearly linked to it.
research ERG Induces Androgen Receptor-Mediated Regulation of SOX9 in Prostate Cancer
ERG increases SOX9, promoting prostate cancer growth and invasion.
research Cutaneous Signs in COVID-19 Patients: A Review
COVID-19 can cause different skin symptoms that may help with early diagnosis and show how severe the disease is.
research Androgen Sensitivity Gateway to COVID-19 Disease Severity
Men's sensitivity to male hormones might affect how severe COVID-19 gets for them.
research Sex Differences in COVID-19: The Role of Androgens in Disease Severity and Progression
Male hormones like testosterone may make COVID-19 worse, and testing for sensitivity to these hormones could help predict how severe a patient's symptoms might be. Treatments that reduce these hormones are being explored.
research Are the Cutaneous Manifestations During or Due to SARS-CoV-2 Infection/COVID-19 Frequent or Not? Revision of Possible Pathophysiologic Mechanisms
Skin problems in COVID-19 patients are rare and may be due to the body's complex immune response or blood clotting issues.
research Clinical and Histopathological Features and Potential Pathological Mechanisms of Skin Lesions in COVID-19: Review of the Literature
COVID-19 can cause various skin lesions, which may result from the virus and immune response, and are not directly linked to illness severity.
research COVID-19: Understanding Inter-Individual Variability and Implications for Precision Medicine
The conclusion is that individual differences in COVID-19 severity are influenced by factors like age, sex, race, and genetics, which are important for personalized medicine.
research Are Sex Discordant Outcomes in COVID-19 Related to Sex Hormones?
Sex hormones may affect COVID-19 severity, with men often faring worse, and targeting related pathways could offer treatment options.
research The Role of Androgens in COVID-19
Higher androgen levels might make COVID-19 worse, especially in men.
research Redefining Hormone Resistance in Prostate Cancer
The conclusion suggests that prostate cancer should be classified by castration status and that new therapies targeting androgen receptor signaling show promise.
research Repurposing Existing Drugs for COVID-19: An Endocrinology Perspective
Existing drug dexamethasone may lower death risk in severe COVID-19 cases; more research needed for other drugs.
research Relationship Between Betacoronaviruses and the Endocrine System: A New Key to Understand the COVID-19 Pandemic—A Comprehensive Review
Betacoronaviruses, like COVID-19, may cause hormone system dysfunction and affect disease susceptibility and severity.
research Testosterone Target Therapy: Focus on Immune Response, Controversies, and Clinical Implications in Patients with COVID-19 Infection
Testosterone may have a dual role in COVID-19, potentially worsening outcomes in men, and testosterone therapy could help some patients, but more research is needed.
research The Probable Destructive Mechanisms Behind COVID-19 on Male Reproductive System and Fertility
COVID-19 may harm male fertility and damage the reproductive system.
