510-540 / 1000+ results research Mechanism of action of bolandiol (19-nortestosterone-3β,17β-diol), a unique anabolic steroid with androgenic, estrogenic, and progestational activities
Bolandiol, a synthetic steroid, builds muscle and bone without greatly affecting sex glands, and works differently from other hormones.
research Androgens and ovarian function: translation from basic discovery research to clinical impact
Androgens are important for female fertility and could help in IVF treatment, but also play a role in causing PCOS.
research Hyposecretion of the adrenal androgen dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S) in the majority of the alopecia areata patients: Is it a primitive and pathogenic perturbation of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis?
Low DHEA-S levels might be linked to alopecia areata and could be a potential treatment target.

Progesterone helps adult male mice's brain cells survive and improves learning and memory.
research Polycystic ovary syndrome and the differential diagnosis of hyperandrogenism
The document concludes that careful evaluation is needed to diagnose PCOS correctly due to similar symptoms in other conditions, and accurate testosterone level measurement is crucial.
research The interaction of hydrocortisone and thyroxine during fetal adipose tissue differentiation: CCAAT enhancing binding protein expression and capillary cytodifferentiation.
Glucocorticoids and thyroid hormones together are essential for fetal fat development.
research The Case of the Elusive Androgen

Using GnRHa agonists helps diagnose and treat ovarian hyperthecosis when surgery isn't possible.
research Simultaneous determination of androgens and prostaglandins in human urine using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry
Researchers developed a reliable way to measure hormones in urine, showing that a baldness treatment doesn't change hormone levels.
research 1408 INDUCTION OF SECRETED WNT FACTOR WISP1/CCN4 BY HUMAN PROSTATE STROMAL CELLS BY MICROENVIORNMENTAL HYPOXIA
Human prostate cells produce more WISP1/CCN4 when there's not enough oxygen.

A rare adrenal tumor in a woman only made DHEA-S, causing hair thinning, and was removed, fixing the hormone level.
research Cyproterone acetate as initial treatment and maintenance therapy for hirsutism
Cyproterone acetate is effective for treating hirsutism, but some patients may feel worse on low-dose maintenance therapy.
research 17α‐estradiol induces aromatase activity in intact human anagen hair follicles ex vivo
17α-estradiol boosts aromatase activity in female hair follicles, potentially helping with hair loss.
research SERUM-CONCENTRATIONS OF Dehydroepyandrosterone-sulfate IN MEN WITH ANDROGENETIC ALOPECIA
Men with hair loss don't necessarily have higher levels of the hormone DHEA-S, but this hormone tends to decrease with age.
research Validation and Reference Ranges of Hair Cortisol Measurement in Healthy Children
Hair cortisol levels in children increase with age but are not affected by gender, puberty, or hair care.
