research 11 Treatment of hirsutism and acne with cyproterone acetate
Cyproterone acetate is effective for treating hirsutism and acne but less so for hair loss, with side effects similar to birth control pills.
research Effects of Lespedeza Cuneata aqueous extract on testosterone-induced prostatic hyperplasia
Lespedeza cuneata extract may help treat enlarged prostate.
research Dehydroepiandrosterone for women in the peri- or postmenopausal phase
DHEA may help with sexual function when used intravaginally by menopausal women but is similar to hormone therapy in other aspects and might cause more side effects like acne and hair loss.
research SUN-118 A Case of Anastrozole Induced Hyperandrogenism
Anastrozole can cause increased testosterone, leading to symptoms like hair growth and thinning.
research Using 5 alpha reductase inhibitors safely: What primary care physicians need to know
5 alpha reductase inhibitors can cause sexual, cognitive, and muscle side effects, and may slightly increase aggressive cancer risk.
research Microarray analysis reveals distinct RNA expression profiles in endothelial progenitor cells exposed to pro-inflammatory environment or oxidized LDL
Different cells affect hair follicle blood vessels, endothelial cells react differently to inflammation and oxidized fats, and prasugrel better protects heart vessels during a procedure than clopidogrel.

research THU372 Finasteride Induced Hyperglycemia
Finasteride may worsen blood sugar control in diabetic patients.
research The role of androgen therapy
Androgens, male hormones, play a role in both men and women's health, and testosterone therapy can help women with low levels, but it's not suitable for pregnant or lactating women, or those with certain conditions.
research Sexual dimorphism following in vitro ischemia in the response to neurosteroids and mechanisms of injury
Male tissue has more cell death than female tissue after ischemia, and some neurosteroids only protect female cells.
research USE OF SPIRONOLACTONE IN COMBINATION WITH AN ORAL CONTRACEPTIVE IN TREATMENT OF HIRSUTISM
Spironolactone with an oral contraceptive improved hair growth in women with hirsutism.
research Chemical Mechanism of the Covalent Modification of 5.alpha.-Reductases by Finasteride as Probed by Secondary Tritium Isotope Effects
Finasteride modifies 5-alpha-reductases through a two-step process, affecting inhibitor potency and possibly causing side effects.
research Finasteride and the 5-Alpha Reductase Inhibitors
research Effects of Solvent System and Storage Condition on Chemical Stability of 5(alpha)-Reductase Inhibitor Compounds in Tectona grandis L.f. Leaf Extracts
Store Tectona grandis leaf extracts in slightly acidic, light-protected conditions for best stability.
research Potential targets in the discovery of new hair growth promoters for androgenic alopecia
The document concludes that targeting 5α-reductase, the androgen receptor, and hair growth genes, along with using compounds with anti-androgenic properties, could lead to more effective hair loss treatments.
research Quantitative analysis of 34 sex (pro)hormones, conjugates and bioactive oxidation products thereof in human plasma by GC- and LC-MS/MS and systematic investigation of overestimations of analyte concentrations not accounted for by method validation
The method accurately measures sex hormones in human plasma but can have small errors.
research A New Era of 5α-Reductase Inhibitors for Androgenetic Alopecia
New drug dutasteride effectively treats hair loss, but use cautiously due to potential sexual side effects.
research Androgens and Antiandrogens
Male hormones, or androgens, affect women's health in areas like mood and bone density, and hormone replacement therapy using antiandrogenic progestogens can improve mood disorders and alertness in menopausal women.
research The effect of an oral contraceptive containing ethinylestradiol and desogestrel on hair growth and hormonal parameters of hirsute women
The contraceptive reduced hair growth and altered hormone levels in hirsute women.
