research Endocrine Aspects of Female Sexual Dysfunction
Hormones like estrogen, testosterone, progesterone, and prolactin play complex roles in female sexual function, with testosterone potentially improving sexual desire, arousal, and satisfaction. However, more research is needed to establish safe and effective hormone treatments for female sexual dysfunction.
research Hepatotoxicity with low- and ultralow-dose flutamide: a surveillance study on 203 hyperandrogenic young females
Low and ultralow doses of flutamide can cause liver damage in young women with high androgen levels, regardless of dose or birth control use, with higher risk for those with higher BMI and liver enzyme levels before treatment.
research Anti-Androgen Treatment of Hirsute Women: A Study on Stress Responses
The treatment reduced hair growth and testosterone in women with excess hair and had some effects on stress responses.
research Mineralocorticoid Receptor Antagonists Stimulate Human Hair Growth ex vivo
Eplerenone, a mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist, was found to promote hair growth in human hair follicles.
research Successful Treatment of Hirsutism in HAIR-AN Syndrome Using Flutamide, Spironolactone, and Birth Control Therapy
The document describes a treatment for excessive hair growth in a teenage girl using medication and birth control, but does not report the results.
research Sex and estrous cycle influence diazepam effects on anxiety and memory: Possible role of progesterone
Diazepam's effects on anxiety and memory differ between male and female rats due to hormonal influences.
research Depo-Provera: an injectable contraceptive.
Depo-Provera effectively prevents pregnancy but has many side effects and safety concerns, leading to its ban in the U.S.
research THE PEDIATRICIAN AND THE SEXUALLY ACTIVE ADOLESCENT
Pediatricians should advise sexually active teens on safe sex and STD prevention, and discuss contraceptive options and their side effects.
research An isotope dilution-liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry-based candidate reference measurement procedure for the quantification of dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate in human serum and plasma
A new method accurately measures DHEAS in blood, improving on current tests.
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 Testosterone therapy for women with low sexual desire: a position statement from the Brazilian Society of Endocrinology and Metabolism
Testosterone therapy may slightly increase sexual desire in women with HSDD but lacks broad recommendation due to safety concerns and limited approval.
research Estrus, ovulation, and serum progesterone, estradiol, and LH concentrations in mares after an increased photoperiod during winter.
Increasing light exposure in winter can make mares ovulate and cycle earlier.
research Altered Hormone and Bioactive Lipid Plasma Profile in Rodent Models of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome Revealed by Targeted Mass Spectrometry
Rodent models of PCOS show some similar and some different lipid changes compared to humans.
research Acne in the adult female patient: a practical approach
Hormonal therapies are safe and effective for treating adult women's acne.
research 7452 A Diagnostically Challenging Case of Hyperandrogenism in Postmenopausal Woman
The case highlights the complexity of diagnosing high testosterone in older women and the need for thorough testing.
research Adverse events associated with aromatase inhibitors: an analysis of real-world datasets and drug-gene interaction network
This study analyzed 7,933 adverse event reports related to aromatase inhibitors (AIs) from the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System, covering data from 2004 to 2023. It identified 642 positive signals of adverse reactions, with specific concerns for each AI: anastrozole was linked to antiphospholipid syndrome, plantar fasciitis, and autoimmune pancreatitis; letrozole was associated with androgenetic alopecia, myosclerosis, and pneumonic herpes virus; exemestane was connected to infection reactivation, decreased thyroxine free, and atrial dilatation. Letrozole had the earliest onset of adverse events, followed by exemestane and anastrozole. The study underscores the importance of monitoring these adverse events in real-world clinical settings.
research Regression of Pathologic Changes Induced by the Long-term Administration of Contraceptive Steroids to Rodents
Some steroid-induced health issues in rodents improved after stopping treatment, but hair loss and eye problems did not.
research A Review of the Relationships Between Endogenous Sex Steroids and Incident Ischemic Stroke and Coronary Heart Disease Events
Lower testosterone increases heart disease risk; higher estradiol increases risk in women.
research Finasteride/spironolactone
research Testosterone Reduces Tight Junction Complexity and Down-regulates Expression of Claudin-4 and Occludin in the Endometrium in Ovariectomized, Sex-steroid Replacement Rats
Testosterone makes the connections in the uterus lining simpler and lowers certain protein levels, which might lead to infertility.
research Progesterone-induced stimulation of mammary tumorigenesis is due to the progesterone metabolite, 5α-dihydroprogesterone (5αP) and can be suppressed by the 5α-reductase inhibitor, finasteride
Progesterone byproduct 5αP stimulates mammary tumor growth, but finasteride can suppress it.
research Steroid 5α-reductase inhibition by polymethoxyflavones
Certain natural compounds can block an enzyme linked to prostate enlargement and hair loss, showing potential for new treatments.
research Optimizing finasteride chemoprevention
research A new method for synthesis of finasteride
