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 hormone changes similar to humans, but also have key differences.
research Molecular interactions of natural and synthetic steroids in female hamsters’ flank organs
Testosterone, progesterone, and levonorgestrel change enzyme levels related to fat production in hamster skin, which could affect skin oil and acne.
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 Estrogen deprivation effects of endocrine therapy in breast cancer patients: Incidence, management and outcome
Managing side effects of endocrine therapy is crucial to improve adherence and survival in breast cancer patients.
research The Distribution of Estrogen Receptor β Is Distinct to That of Estrogen Receptor α and the Androgen Receptor in Human Skin and the Pilosebaceous Unit
Estrogen Receptor ß (ERß) is the main hormone controller in human skin and hair follicles, not Estrogen Receptor α (ERα) or the Androgen Receptor (AR).
research Epigenetic Modulation of ESR1 and DNMT3A Following Finasteride Exposure: Implications for Female Reproductive Function
Finasteride may affect female fertility by altering gene activity.
research Contraceptive implants considered 'safe'
Some birth control pills increase blood clot risk; use them for specific conditions only.
research Regulation of epidermal proliferation and hair follicle cycling by synthetic photostable retinoid EC23
The synthetic retinoid EC23 thickens skin and promotes hair growth more effectively and with a lower dose than natural retinoids.
research [Ovulation inhibition in the treatment of androgenic alopecia in woemn].
research PMON281 PERSISTENT VIRILIZATION AND VASOMOTOR SYMPTOMS IN A TRANSMAN 5-YEARS POST TESTOSTERONE WITHDRAWAL
A transman experienced lasting virilization symptoms after stopping testosterone, which were resolved with estradiol treatment.
research Fulvestrant, a new treatment option for advanced breast cancer: tolerability versus existing agents
Fulvestrant is a well-tolerated new treatment for advanced breast cancer that may delay chemotherapy.
research Bicalutamide does not raise transaminases in comparison to alternative anti-androgen regimens among transfeminine adolescents and young adults: a retrospective cohort study
Bicalutamide does not significantly affect liver enzymes and is a safe anti-androgen option for transfeminine individuals.
research Problems in evaluating chronic toxicity of contraceptive steroids in dogs
High doses of some contraceptive steroids cause health issues in dogs, but their relevance to humans is unclear.
research A Phase II Study of Vaginal Testosterone Cream (TEST) vs. Estring for Vaginal Dryness or Decreased Libido in Women with Early Stage Breast Cancer (BC) Treated with Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs).
Both vaginal testosterone cream and Estring effectively manage vaginal dryness in women with early-stage breast cancer on aromatase inhibitors.
research Screening of synthetic and natural product databases: Identification of novel androgens and antiandrogens
Researchers found new potential treatments for conditions related to the androgen receptor, like male hormonal contraception, by testing thousands of compounds.
research ESTROGEN RECEPTORS OF HAIRS BLACKS AND WHITES
Females have higher estrogen receptor levels in hair than males, and these levels decrease in white hair compared to black hair.
research [Analysis of steroids and binding proteins in the blood of women with androgenetic alopecia].
Women with androgenetic alopecia have normal levels of most blood steroids and binding proteins, but higher dehydroepiandrosterone. Some also have low "sex hormone-binding globulin" and "corticosteroide-binding globulin" capacity, and high "free androgen index" and "free cortisol index". Diane treatment can normalize these levels and improve hair conditions.
