research 5α‐Reductase Inhibitors
Finasteride effectively treats enlarged prostate and male baldness, improves symptoms of hirsutism in women, but doesn't work for acne, and may delay prostate cancer progression with few side effects.
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.

Alternative treatments show promise for hair growth beyond traditional methods.
research Increased Scalp Skin and Serum 5a-Reductase Reduced Androgens in a Man Relevant to the Acquired Progressive Kinky Hair Disorder and Developing Androgenetic Alopecia
Reduced androgens linked to kinky hair disorder and hair loss; 5a-reductase inhibitors may help.
research Pharmacological Options for Treatment of Hyperandrogenic Disorders
Different drugs can treat high male hormone levels in women, but they have various effects and some may harm a fetus.
research The 5α-reductase inhibitor finasteride is not associated with alterations in sleep spindles in men referred for polysomnography
Finasteride doesn't affect sleep spindles in men.
research A Scoping Review of Pharmacotherapy, Complementary, and Alternative Medicine (CAM), and Surgical Therapies for Androgenic Alopecia
Various treatments help hair growth, but more research needed for safety and effectiveness.
research Local synthesis and function of neuro-estrogen and neuro-androgen: impact on the hippocampus-related cognition and neuronal plasticity
Neurosteroids like neuro-estrogen and neuro-androgen are crucial for brain function and can improve cognition and protect against aging-related decline.
research Genetic Defects of Female Sexual Differentiation
Genetic mutations can affect female sexual development, requiring personalized medical care.
research Regulatory roles of androgens in cutaneous wound healing
Testosterone may slow down wound healing and increase inflammation.
research Androgens and hair growth
Androgens can both increase and decrease hair growth in different parts of the body.
research Androgen actions on the human hair follicle: perspectives
Androgens have complex effects on hair growth, promoting it in some areas but causing hair loss in others, and our understanding of this is still evolving.
research Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin (SHBG) as an Early Biomarker and Therapeutic Target in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
SHBG may be a useful early indicator and treatment target for PCOS.
research Expression and function of nuclear receptor co-activator 4: evidence of a potential role independent of co-activator activity
NcoA4 may have roles beyond helping control gene activity, possibly affecting cell behavior and stability.
research Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: Features, Diagnostic Criteria and Treatments
PCOS is a long-term condition that needs more research for better understanding and treatment.
research Endocrine systems of the skin
The skin acts like an endocrine organ, making hormones that affect skin diseases and respond to stress.
research Androgens modulate endometrial function
Androgens affect the function and health of the endometrium.
research Androgenic Alopecia: Cross-Talk Between Cell Signal Transduction Pathways
Hair loss in Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is due to altered cell sensitivity to hormones, not increased hormone levels. Hair growth periods shorten over time, causing hair to become thinner and shorter. This is linked to miscommunication between cell pathways in hair follicles. There's also a change in gene expression related to blood vessels and cell growth in balding hair follicles. The exact molecular causes of AGA are still unclear.
research Gonads
The document concludes that accurate diagnosis of male and female gonadal disorders is crucial for effective treatment and better patient outcomes.
research The influence of low dose finasteride, a type II 5α-reductase inhibitor, on circulating neuroactive steroids
Low dose finasteride decreases certain steroids, possibly increasing depression risk.

Early NAS level changes affect alcohol consumption vulnerability.
research Early postnatal neuroactive steroid manipulation differentially affects recognition memory and passive avoidance performance in male rats
Changing neuroactive steroids in baby male rats affects their memory and learning differently as they grow up.
research Neuroactive Steroids and Ethanol Exposure: Relevance to Ethanol Sensitivity and Alcohol Use Disorders Risk
Neuroactive steroids may affect the risk and treatment of alcohol use disorders.
research HAIR MATRIX CELL KINETICS: A SELECTIVE REVIEW
Hair growth is influenced by factors like genetics and nutrition, and more research is needed to understand hair loss and growth mechanisms.
