Androgenic Preparations

The present data suggest that those prostate cancer patients who have even marginally elevated adrenal androgens may especially benefit from combined androgen blockade. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Precocious Puberty

    Cyproterone acetate • Direct antiantiandrogenic action • Progesterone like activity – inhibits LH causing antiandrogenic action • Competes with dihydroteststerone for intracellular receptor Uses: • Precocious puberty in Boys • Inappropriate sexual behaviour [slideshare.net]

    In both males and females, too much testosterone can lead to precocious puberty and result in infertility. In women, high blood levels of testosterone may also be an indicator of polycystic ovary syndrome. [yourhormones.info]

  • Chordee

    In childhood, genital abnormalities consisted of a clitoral-like phallus surrounded by a chordee, non-fused labial-scrotal folds and a urogenital sinus. The testes were in the inguinal canals, or rarely, in the labial-scrotal folds. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Cognitive Impairment

    Translational work, with Dr Sherri Hayden, examined the effects parity on MMSE in women with dementia, MCI and no cognitive impairment Galea & Hayden, in prep . [galealab.psych.ubc.ca]

    Since low testosterone is statistically associated with higher risks of a host of age-related diseases such as reduced longevity, risk of fatal cardiovascular events, obesity, muscle wasting, mobility limitations, osteoporosis, frailty, cognitive impairment [lifeextensionitaly.wordpress.com]

    Studies of testosterone supplementation have sought to identify potential cognitive improvements in men with and without baseline cognitive impairment, and have had a wide range of results. [aetna.com]

Workup in androgen excess Laboratory evaluation should be part of the workup for every woman who seeks treatment for signs or symptoms of androgen excess, such as hirsutism. [emedicine.medscape.com]

In contrast, Snail mRNA levels are repressed by androgen treatment similar to DRAIC RNA levels. However, while antiandrogen treatment seems not to change Snail mRNA levels, antiandrogen treatments induce DRAIC RNA levels. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Abstract Purpose Elderly patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) have a poor prognosis, and innovative maintenance therapy could improve their outcomes. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prognosis Prognosis for patients with CAIS is favorable if support and counseling are appropriate. Adults have normal female gender identity. Patients are infertile and have an increased risk of osteoporosis if hormone replacement is inadequate. [orpha.net]

The second study found that even triple-negative breast cancers (TNBCs), which are without known hormone drivers and carry the poorest prognosis, are dependent on androgen receptor activation. [sciencedaily.com]

Despite the fact that in younger women exhibits more aggressive features and a worse prognosis, BC can be considered a prevalently post-menopausal disease (2). [frontiersin.org]

PCOS is the most common endocrine condition in women, but its etiology remains unknown. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The etiology of EOC remains elusive; however, experimental and epidemiologic data suggest a role for hormone-related exposures in ovarian carcinogenesis and risk factor differences by histologic phenotypes and developmental pathways. [cancerres.aacrjournals.org]

Our understanding of the epidemiology and economic impact of these disorders has expanded, emphasizing their critical importance. These are but a few highlights of how the terrain has changed in a relatively brief period of time. [link.springer.com]

Abstract The physiological and pathophysiological roles of sex hormones have been well documented and the modulation of their effects is applicable in many current treatments. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
