May 1971 in “Clinical genetics” This study suggests 5α‐androstan‐3α‐17β‐diol may be the true inducer of kidney enzymes in certain mice, while its induction mechanism likely involves pinocytosis rather than a receptor protein.

March 1975 in “Journal of steroid biochemistry/Journal of Steroid Biochemistry” This study found a direct correlation between the testicular feminization gene and decreased androgen receptor activity, potentially explaining the androgen insensitivity in affected individuals.

,
September 1971 in “Metabolism, clinical and experimental” In this study, patients with testicular feminization syndrome showed limited anabolic responsiveness to dihydrotestosterone, potentially due to reduced affinity of nuclear receptor sites for androgenic steroids rather than defective testosterone conversion.
22 citations
,
June 2004 in “Journal of The European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology” This case report identifies a novel association between Graham Little–Piccardi–Lassueur syndrome and complete androgen insensitivity syndrome, suggesting the influence of androgens in the alopecias accompanying the former may be limited.

February 1983 in “The Journal of clinical endocrinology and metabolism/Journal of clinical endocrinology & metabolism” This study found that pubic skin fibroblasts respond to androgens, increasing 5α-reductase activity via an androgen receptor-mediated mechanism, suggesting its potential as a marker of androgen action in vitro.
