Classic and backdoor pathways of androgen biosynthesis in human sexual development [PDF]
Annals of Pediatric Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2022 Both genes and hormones regulate human sexual development. Although ovarian hormones are not essential for female external genitalia development, male sexual development requires the action of testicular testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is

Firing patterns of gonadotropin-releasing hormone neurons are sculpted by their biologic state [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2020 Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) neurons form the final pathway for the central neuronal control of fertility. GnRH is released in pulses that vary in frequency in females, helping drive hormonal changes of the reproductive cycle.

Androgen regulation of the androgen receptor coregulators [PDF]
BMC Cancer, 2008 Abstract Background The critical role of the androgen receptor (AR) in the development of prostate cancer is well recognized. The transcriptional activity of AR is partly regulated by coregulatory proteins. It has been suggested that these coregulators could also be important in the progression of prostate cancer. The

Updates on androgen replacement therapy and lower urinary tract symptoms: a narrative review
The Aging Male, 2022 Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) are caused by higher tension at the bladder neck level (due to fibrosis or stiffness) or benign prostatic hyperplasia, which causes static obstruction of the bladder outlet. Both forms cause a group of symptoms such as

Androgens and the breast [PDF]
Breast Cancer Research, 2009 Androgens have important physiological effects in women while at the same time they may be implicated in breast cancer pathologies. However, data on the effects of androgens on mammary epithelial proliferation and/or breast cancer incidence are not in full agreement.
