research Pathogenesis and causes of hirsutism
Hirsutism is mainly caused by high androgen levels or sensitivity, with PCOS being the most common cause.
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 Androgen Biosynthesis and Gene Defects
Gene mutations can cause problems in male genital development.
research Androgens and androgen receptor action in skin and hair follicles
Male hormones and their receptors play a key role in hair loss and skin health, with potential new treatments being explored.
research Rooster feathering, androgenic alopecia, and hormone-dependent tumor growth: What is in common?
Sex hormones affect hair and feather growth and may help manage alopecia and hormone-dependent cancers.
research New steps forward in the neuroactive steroid field
Neuroactive steroids could become safe, effective treatments with more understanding of their complex brain actions and metabolism.
research Higher Levels of Steroidogenic Acute Regulatory Protein and Type I 3β-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase in the Scalp of Men with Androgenetic Alopecia
Men with baldness have higher levels of specific proteins, suggesting local hormone production may play a role in hair loss.
research The differences between aromatizable and non-aromatizable androgens in relation to body composition and metabolic syndrome risk factors in men
Testosterone and dihydrotestosterone have similar effects on body composition and metabolic health in men.
research Finasteride blocks progesterone synthesis in MA-10 Leydig tumor cells.
Finasteride blocks progesterone production in specific tumor cells, potentially causing side effects.
research Measurement of Steroid Hormones in Hair: an Analysis of Hormone Dynamics in Hair Follicles
The method accurately measures steroid hormones in hair to study hormone dynamics related to hair loss.
research Cutaneous Androgen Metabolism: Basic Research and Clinical Perspectives
Creating stronger blockers for skin enzymes might lead to better treatment for conditions like acne and excessive hair growth.
research Neuroimmunoregulation of Androgens in the Adrenal Gland and the Skin
Cytokines and neuropeptides are key in controlling androgen levels, affecting skin and hair conditions.
research Atypical Cushing's Syndrome in Dogs: Arguments For and Against
The cause of atypical Cushing's syndrome in dogs, possibly linked to sex hormones, is not yet proven.
research Targets to treat androgen excess in polycystic ovary syndrome
The conclusion is that while oral contraceptive pills are effective for PCOS-related high androgen levels, new treatments with fewer side effects are needed.
research Effects of Subchronic Finasteride Treatment and Withdrawal on Neuroactive Steroid Levels and Their Receptors in the Male Rat Brain
Finasteride treatment changes brain steroid levels and receptors, affecting brain function even after stopping treatment.
research Cosmetic Surgery Considerations in the Female Patient
Understanding gender differences and individual patient characteristics is essential for optimal cosmetic surgery outcomes.
research The Hair Follicle as an Estrogen Target and Source
Estrogens significantly influence hair growth by interacting with receptors in hair follicles and may help regulate the hair growth cycle.
research An Update of Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia
Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia is a genetic disorder with two forms, causing symptoms like early puberty and severe acne, but can be identified through screening and treated with glucocorticoids.
research 46,XY DSD due to impaired androgen production
Impaired androgen production in 46,XY DSDs causes ambiguous genitalia and requires long-term care.
research Congenital adrenal hyperplasia
CAH is a genetic disorder affecting cortisol production and causing hormonal imbalances, with treatment and diagnosis varying by form and symptoms.
research Abiraterone and spironolactone in prostate cancer: a combination to avoid
Don't combine abiraterone and spironolactone for prostate cancer treatment as it may worsen the disease.
research Influence of sex and functional status on the value of serum steroid profiling in discriminating adrenocortical carcinoma from adrenocortical adenoma
Serum steroid profiling, especially 11-deoxycortisol, helps distinguish between adrenocortical carcinoma and adenoma, considering sex and functional status.
research Virilism and Ectopic Expression of HSD17B5 in Mature Cystic Teratoma
A woman's mature cystic teratoma caused her virilization by producing testosterone.
research The pediatric origins of polycystic ovary syndrome
Early signs of PCOS in girls, like irregular periods and polycystic ovaries, suggest a need for early diagnosis and intervention to prevent further health issues.
research Diagnosis of hyperandrogenism: Biochemical criteria
The document concludes that accurate measurement of serum androgens is crucial for diagnosing hyperandrogenism.
research Role of Anticonvulsant and Antiepileptogenic Neurosteroids in the Pathophysiology and Treatment of Epilepsy
Neurosteroids show promise for treating epilepsy and more research is needed.
research Redefining hormone resistance in prostate cancer
The conclusion suggests that prostate cancer should be classified by castration status and that new therapies targeting androgen receptor signaling show promise.
research Basics of androgen synthesis and action
Androgens like testosterone are important hormones for both men and women, made differently in each sex and affecting the body by regulating genes and quick interactions with cell components.
research Repurposing steroidogenesis inhibitors for the therapy of neuropsychiatric disorders: Promises and caveats
Drugs for hormone-related conditions might help treat mental disorders but could have serious side effects.
