How could the same hormone (e.g. estrogen, which is necessary for male and female fertility as well as many other functions) perform different functions in men and women? In which cells are the male sex hormones produced? What produces the female sex hormones progesterone and estrogen? What...
DHT (dihydrotestosterone) is a male hormone that's responsible for the development of many of the physical characteristics associated with adult males. It's converted by the body from the primary male sex hormone, testosterone. During puberty, DHT becomes active, causing the growth of facial hair...
(Specify which is male and which is female.) Which hormone is responsible for maturation of male sex organs? a) Growth hormone b) Follicle-stimulating hormone c) Luteinizing hormone d) Testosterone e) Androgen-binding protein Identify the hormone from the given function: Regulates sperm development...
Mesterolone is an orally active androgenic steroid (AAS) and a dihydro derivative of testosterone (DHT) that is the male sex hormone. It is a weak androgen and is used in the treatment of hypogonadism in men, which is a condition where the testes are not able to produce enough testosterone...
Male pattern baldness causes the hormone testosterone to be converted intoDHT. DHT has an adverse effect on hair follicles (also known as the hair roots) and subsequently slows down, causing hair to fall out or even stops hair production altogether. ...
Indeed, the importance of delineating sex- and hormone-based actions in AD cannot be underestimated for many rea- sons. First, AD is a tragic disease and the most common neurodegenerative condition, characterized by an insidi- ous and progressive loss of memory and other cognitive functions. ...
Prostate cancer cells need androgens (male hormones), liketestosteroneand dihydrotestosterone (DHT), to grow. Hormone therapy is a type ofprostate cancer treatmentthat stops your body from making these hormones or letting them reach cancer cells. The cells then die or grow more slowly. It’s als...
This is more commonly referred to as male-pattern baldness (or female-pattern baldness), and it affects over 80 million men and women in the United States alone. While the exact mechanisms behind AGA aren’t known, it is known that DHT is a major trigger. This is a hormone – one that...
Miniaturization of the hair is linked to pattern baldness. Male-Pattern Baldness MPB is caused by sensitivity to the androgen hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT) (3). This sensitivity leads to hair miniaturization. Scientists do not yet understand the exact mechanism by which this happens. ...
Currently, there is no clinically viable evidence that caffeine shampoos have a long-lasting effect on male pattern baldness. This type of hair loss occurs in men who have a sensitivity to the hormone DHT (a form of testosterone), which causes the hair follicles in the scalp to weaken and...
