October 1985 in “The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism” This study concluded that albumin-bound testosterone is biologically important and significantly contributes to testosterone bioavailability in women receiving spironolactone.
July 2026 in “Pharmacological Research - Modern Chinese Medicine” In this study, researchers developed and optimized a smartlipid nanocarrier gel formulation of berberine that significantly reduced hair loss and promoted faster hair regrowth in a testosterone-induced hair loss model, showing potential as an effective treatment for androgenetic alopecia.
July 2026 in “Veterinary Medicine and Science” In this study, Quercetin-loaded black seed oil nanoemulsion effectively mitigated testosterone-induced testicular oxidative stress and inflammation in rats undergoing exercise and restraint stress, with improved antioxidant levels and reduced inflammatory markers compared to other treatment groups.
November 2025 in “Food Science & Nutrition” In this study, researchers found that topical apigenin promoted hair growth in a testosterone-induced alopecia mouse model, with effects comparable to minoxidil, suggesting a potential treatment approach for androgenetic alopecia through the Wnt signaling pathway.
