Disease states in which this is relevant include polycystic ovarian syndrome, hirsutism, acne, benign prostatic hyperplasia, and endocrine related cancers such as carcinoma of the prostate. 1 2 They belong to a class of medications called “androgen receptor inhibitors” that work by blocking the effects of androgen (a male reproductive hormone) to stop the growth and spread of cancer cells. The predominant and most active androgen is testosterone, which is produced by the male testes. In males, testosterone is responsible for. 3 4 Male sex hormones are also known as androgens; antiandrogens may also be called androgen receptor blockers. Some antiandrogens work by lowering the body's production of androgens while others block androgen receptors, limiting the body's ability to make use of the androgens produced. 5 Interestingly, numerous studies have shown that the androgen receptor (AR) remains a crucial driver in CRPC 3. The development of novel, highly potent second-generation anti-androgens such as. 6 Peony (Paeonia lactiflora) inhibits the production of testosterone and promotes the activity of the enzyme aromatase, which converts testosterone to estrogen. Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra) downregulates the enzyme (CYP17A1) that produces testosterone and contains phytoestrogens that downregulate androgen production and block androgen receptors. 7 8 Hur chaste berrytea fungerar? 9 Hirsutism kan orsakas av en hormonell obalans, polycystiskt ovariesyndrom (PCOS) eller etnicitet. 10 11
