About 2.2% of women with symptoms of high male hormones have a mild form of congenital adrenal hyperplasia, and measuring a specific hormone level can accurately diagnose it.

Estrogen receptors affect hair growth, with ER beta slowing down the hair cycle changes caused by ER alpha.

Steroid sex hormones activate matriptase in prostate cancer cells but not in breast cancer cells.

Cortisol increases a specific protein in bone cells, which may help explain its negative effects on bone.

Estrogens can reduce DHT production in hair follicles, but are less effective than finasteride and progesterone.

Cortisone reductase deficiency can cause high androgen and cortisol levels and may be missed in women with similar symptoms.

Certain enzymes react strongly with some hormones in rat skin during hair growth, mainly in sebaceous glands and hair sheaths.

A woman's mature cystic teratoma caused her virilization by producing testosterone.

Drospirenone can hide symptoms of certain hormonal disorders, complicating diagnosis.

Trienones are more effective at inhibiting the enzyme linked to hair loss than dienones.

Thuja orientalis extract significantly promotes hair growth in mice with hair loss.

Researchers found potential urine markers for polycystic ovary syndrome, including testosterone-glucuronide and 11α-hydroxyprogesterone, which may help diagnose the condition.

Researchers found new potential treatments for conditions related to the androgen receptor, like male hormonal contraception, by testing thousands of compounds.

Young girls whose mothers have PCOS may have higher activity of a specific enzyme that could lead to developing PCOS later.

Blocking 11β-HSD1 reduces stress hormone damage in hair growth cells.

The enzyme 17β-HSD type 2 mainly performs oxidation in human sebaceous glands, which may help protect against acne.

Human adrenals and gonads have a unique enzyme for steroid hormone production.

Two enzymes regulate androgen receptor activity, affecting treatments for androgen insufficiency and benign prostatic hyperplasia.

Certain HSD3B1 gene types are linked to worse prostate cancer outcomes and affect treatment response and other health conditions.

Blocking a specific enzyme can reduce the negative impact of stress hormones on hair growth cells.

Mice without the enzyme HSD17B3 still produce normal testosterone, suggesting they have different ways to make it compared to humans.

A woman's hair loss and other symptoms were due to a rare hormone deficiency treatable with steroids.

New genes and pathways are important for testosterone production and male sexual development.

Key enzymes control androgen levels, affecting hormone activity and potential treatments.

A genetic defect causes males in some Mediterranean populations to be born with ambiguous genitalia and develop male traits at puberty.

Human liver enzyme DHEA ST helps process minoxidil.

In STSD patients, the body compensates for low androgen levels by increasing another enzyme's activity.

Researchers successfully made new compounds for hormone level tests, but one attempt led to an unexpected product, correcting a past error.

Finasteride effectively inhibits the enzyme steroid 5 alpha-reductase II.

Human sebaceous glands contain enzymes that affect androgen production and may influence sebum production and acne.
