The ligand-binding pocket of the androgen receptor (AR) is the targeting site of all clinically used AR antagonists. However, various drug-resistant mutations emerged in the pocket. We previously reported a new targeting site at the dimer interface of AR (dimer interface pocket) and identified a novel antagonist M17-B15 that failed in oral administration.

Nuclear receptors (NRs) are ligand-activated transcription factors that regulate gene expression in response to physiological signals, such as hormones and other chemical messengers. These receptors either activate or repress the transcription of target genes, which in turn promotes or suppresses physiological processes governing growth, differentiation, and homeostasis. NRs bind to specific DNA sequences and, in response to ligand binding, either promote or hinder the assembly of the transcriptional machinery, thereby influencing gene expression at the transcriptional level.

The use of effect-based methods in water monitoring for identifying risks to aquatic organisms and human health is important for aiding regulatory decisions. In the past decades, the database on monitoring, especially in surface waters, has grown as this aquatic environment is openly exposed to various contamination sources. With regard to endocrine disruption, estrogenic and androgenic effects have been primarily investigated.

Objective: To systematically evaluate the effectiveness of non-pharmacological interventions (NPIs), including electroacupuncture, exercise, diet, and lifestyle changes, in reducing androgen levels in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) through a systematic review and network meta-analysis.
Methods: Comprehensive searches were conducted in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CNKI, and Wanfang up to June 2024. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing NPIs with other NPIs or placebo treatments in adult women with PCOS were included.

Photoperiodic changes induce seasonal variations in vitamin D levels, which can affect reproductive function. The muskrat, a seasonal breeder, possesses a pair of scented glands that secrete musky substances to attract mates. The scented glands can also synthesize androgens, which regulate their function through autocrine or paracrine signaling.
