Antiandrogen

An antiandrogen is any drug that blocks androgens (male sex hormones such as testosterone) from binding to receptors in the body. Antiandrogens are used to treat prostate cancer because this type of cancer depends on androgens for growth. They are also used to treat various sexual disorders in men such as premature ejaculation and hypersexuality.

One of the most well-known antiandrogens is cyproterone. It competitively inhibits the binding of androgens to their receptors, thereby blocking their action. Cyproterone is widely used in combination with other drugs to treat prostate cancer. Other antiandrogens include flutamide, bicalutamide, and enzalutamide.

Thus, antiandrogens are an important class of drugs that can effectively suppress the action of male sex hormones. Their use makes it possible to treat a number of androgen-dependent diseases and disorders.

Antiandrogens: a group of drugs used to correct metabolic disorders or eliminate the consequences of hormonal imbalance.

The role of testosterone Androgen is a hormone that takes part in the development and functioning of the genital organs and their main structures. In our body it is produced by androgen glands. Testosterone production is coordinated by feedback mechanisms. In women, the regulatory mechanism has an inhibitory effect on the follicle-stimulating function of the pituitary gland. In men, the same principle regulates the functioning of the testicles and the production of leidigoid hormones. They are precursors to testosterone.

Antiandrogens are a group of drugs that are used to treat cancer associated with increased testosterone production in male patients. Androgens are hormones that are produced in the cells of the prostate gland and affect many physiological processes in the male body. Prostate cancer is associated with excess production of these hormones, so the main purpose of antiandrogens is to reduce the level of testosterone in the patient's blood.
