research Effects of In Utero Exposure to D-004, a Lipid Extract from Roystonea regia Fruits, in the Male Rat: A Comparison with Finasteride
D-004 may be a natural alternative to finasteride for treating enlarged prostate and male baldness.
research Safety and Tolerability of the Dual 5-Alpha Reductase Inhibitor Dutasteride in the Treatment of Androgenetic Alopecia
Dutasteride is safe and effective for treating hair loss, but may decrease libido.
research Effects of two estroprogestins containing ethynilestradiol 30mug and drospirenone 3 mg and ethynilestradiol 30mug and chlormadinone 2 mg on skin and hormonal hyperandrogenic manifestations
Both birth control pills improved hormone levels and skin conditions in women with hyperandrogenism, but the one with drospirenone was more effective.
research Anti-androgen therapy in dermatology: a review
Anti-androgens are effective for female acne but less so for male-pattern hair loss, with side effects similar to birth control pills.
research Estimating the Contribution of the Prostate to Blood Dihydrotestosterone
The normal human prostate does not significantly affect blood DHT levels.
research Sex steroid synthesis in human skin in situ: The roles of aromatase and steroidogenic acute regulatory protein in the homeostasis of human skin
Human skin produces sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone, influenced by ARO and StAR, which may affect skin elasticity and hair growth.
research Validation of hair estradiol immuno-assays across the menstrual cycle in emerging adults
Hair samples can reliably show average long-term hormone levels in young women.
research The Influence of Cyproteron-Acetate Orally on the Hair Root Status in Women with Idiopathic Hirsutism
research Estrogens
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 Invalidation of a commercially available human 5α-dihydrotestosterone immunoassay
The DHT immunoassay is unreliable due to high cross-reactivity with testosterone.
