research Female androgenetic alopecia: An update
Hair loss in women can be slowed with treatment, but more research needed for better solutions.
research Androgenic Alopecia
The document concludes that treating female hair loss should target reducing excess androgen and blocking its effects on hair follicles, with the best treatments being hormonal therapy, adrenal suppression, and topical minoxidil.
research Sexual Hormones in Human Skin
Human skin makes sexual hormones that affect hair growth, skin health, and healing; too much can cause acne and hair loss, while treatments can manage these conditions.
research Finasteride
Finasteride treats enlarged prostate, shrinks it, improves urination, but may cause sexual dysfunction and isn't for women or children.
research Development of optimized self-nanoemulsifying lyophilized tablets (SNELTs) to improve finasteride clinical pharmacokinetic behavior
Improved tablets lead to faster, better drug absorption for hair loss treatment.
research Medical treatment regimens of hirsutism
Low-dose anti-androgen drugs and certain drug combinations are effective for hirsutism, and insulin sensitizers show promise, especially for those with polycystic ovarian syndrome.
research Testosterone Treatment in Women – An Overview
Testosterone treatment can improve sexual function and bone density in women but may have adverse effects and requires more research on safety and guidelines.
research Cutaneous manifestations of polycystic ovary syndrome
Skin problems in PCOS, like excess hair, acne, and hair loss, may not always indicate high male hormone levels and need careful diagnosis for proper treatment.
research Post-finasteride Syndrome: A Review of Current Literature
Post-finasteride Syndrome causes lasting negative effects, but more research is needed for treatment and risk evaluation.
research The Role of Non-Aromatizable Testosterone Metabolite in Metabolic Pathways
Normal levels of DHT can reduce belly fat and increase muscle, but too much can lead to hair loss, prostate issues, and possibly heart disease.
research Testosterone Metabolism in Human Skin Cells in vitro and Its Interaction with Estradiol and Dutasteride
Different skin cells process testosterone differently, and certain drugs can change this process, possibly helping treat acne and hair loss.
research Plasma androsterone/epiandrosterone sulfates as markers of 5α-reductase activity: Effect of finasteride in normal men
Finasteride effectively lowers specific hormone levels, helping monitor treatment progress.
research Androgen excess: Investigations and management
The conclusion is that managing androgen excess requires long-term treatment, including hormonal contraceptives and androgen blockers, with follow-up after six months.
research Influence of Saw palmetto and Pygeum africana extracts on the urinary concentrations of endogenous anabolic steroids: Relevance to doping analysis
Taking Saw palmetto and Pygeum africana can change the levels of certain steroids in urine, which could cause confusion in doping tests.
research Intracrinology and Testosterone Pellet Therapy: An Enzyme-Aware, Symptom-Driven Approach to Hormone Optimization in Aging
Testosterone pellet therapy may better address hormone imbalances in aging by focusing on local hormone production and symptom relief.
research Long-term physiological trends and their drivers: linking hair hormone concentrations with telemetry data in GPS-collared Serengeti wildebeest
Wildebeest stress and hormone levels are influenced by food availability, human presence, and reproductive cycles.
research Women with clinically significant hirsutism always have detectable endocrinological abnormalities
All women with significant unwanted hair growth have hormonal imbalances, often from polycystic ovary syndrome.
research Women with clinically significant hirsutism always have detectable endocrinological abnormalities
Most women with excessive hair growth have a hormonal cause.
research The endocrinology of baldness
Hormones and genetics play key roles in male and female baldness, which can affect mental health and may be linked to other health issues.
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 The Androgen Receptor and Its Use in Biological Assays: Looking Toward Effect-Based Testing and Its Applications
Scientists have developed a new method to detect steroid abuse in athletes using cell-based tests, which could be the future of anti-doping methods.
research Acupuncture in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: Potential and Challenge
Acupuncture may improve reproductive and metabolic functions in PCOS without negative side effects, but more research is needed to confirm its effectiveness.
research Is dehydroepiandrosterone a hormone?
Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is a prohormone important for producing sex steroids and has potential health benefits.
research Xenobiotica-metabolizing enzymes in the skin of rat, mouse, pig, guinea pig, man, and in human skin models
Different species and human skin models vary in their skin enzyme activities, with pig skin and some models closely matching human skin, useful for safety assessments and understanding the skin's protective roles.
research Safety of testosterone treatment in postmenopausal women
Testosterone therapy seems safe for postmenopausal women for a few years, but more research is needed for long-term effects.
research Revisiting hyper- and hypo-androgenism by tandem mass spectrometry
The document concludes that using LC-MS/MS for measuring androgens is more accurate than older methods, but it needs careful validation and standardized references to be most effective.
research Apocrine sweat gland obstruction by antiperspirants allowing transdermal absorption of cutaneous generated hormones and pheromones as a link to the observed incidence rates of breast and prostate cancer in the 20th century
The document suggests that blocking sweat glands with antiperspirants might allow skin-generated hormones to be absorbed, possibly increasing breast and prostate cancer risk.
research A comprehensive review of biochemical factors in herbs and their constituent compounds in experimental studies on alopecia
Herbs might help with hair loss, but more research is needed to confirm their safety and effectiveness.
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.
