research 193 Unveiling the role of estradiol in the pathogenesis of female pattern hair loss
research A Platform for Determining Medicinal Plants with Targeted 17β-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase Modulation for Possible Hair Loss Prevention
The conclusion is that new plant-based treatments for hair loss may work by targeting certain enzymes.
research Targeted Expression of Human Vitamin D Receptor in the Skin Promotes the Initiation of the Postnatal Hair Follicle Cycle and Rescues the Alopecia in Vitamin D Receptor Null Mice
Vitamin D receptor is crucial for starting hair growth after birth.
research Ovarian Stromal Hyperthecosis and Hyperandrogenemia Refractory to Hormonal Suppression
Removing both ovaries may better treat increased male hormone levels and related symptoms in postmenopausal women when hormone therapy doesn't work.
research QSAR Analysis of a Series of Hydantoin‐based Androgen Receptor Modulators and Corresponding Binding Affinities
Researchers developed reliable models to predict how well certain compounds bind to androgen receptors, emphasizing the importance of atomic electronegativity.
research 1370 17β-estradiol may control human HF growth also via up-regulating the expression of cannabinoid receptor type1 expression
17β-estradiol may help hair growth by increasing cannabinoid receptor type 1.
research Use of cyproterone acetate, finasteride, and spironolactone to treat idiopathic hirsutism
All three treatments reduce hirsutism, but spironolactone works best long-term.
research [Hirsutism].
Hirsutism is excessive male-pattern hair growth mainly caused by ovarian hormones, and severe cases may require costly treatment with side effects.
research An Approach to the Patient With Hirsutism
Most women with hirsutism have normal hormone levels and can be treated with cosmetic methods; obesity and PCOS are common causes, and treatments depend on the underlying issue.
research Clinical and hormonal effects of the 5 alpha-reductase inhibitor finasteride in idiopathic hirsutism.
Finasteride reduces hair growth and is safe for women with excessive hair.
research Metabolism of androgens by isolated human hair follicles
Beard hair follicles convert testosterone to 5α-dihydrotestosterone most intensively.
research A Detailed Investigation of Hirsutism in a Turkish Population: Idiopathic Hyperandrogenemia as a Perplexing Issue
The main cause of excessive hair growth in Turkish women is Polycystic ovary syndrome, but in about one fifth of cases, the reason for high male hormone levels is unknown.
research Overexpression of aldo-keto reductase 1C3 (AKR1C3) in LNCaP cells diverts androgen metabolism towards testosterone resulting in resistance to the 5α-reductase inhibitor finasteride
Too much AKR1C3 enzyme causes resistance to finasteride by increasing testosterone.
research Stress-induced c-Jun-dependent Vitamin D Receptor (VDR) Activation Dissects the Non-classical VDR Pathway from the Classical VDR Activity
Stress activates a special function of the Vitamin D receptor with the help of c-Jun, which can also prevent cell death.
research Novel Mutation in the Hemojuvelin Gene (HJV) in a Patient with Juvenile Hemochromatosis Presenting with Insulin-dependent Diabetes Mellitus, Secondary Hypothyroidism and Hypogonadism
A new mutation in the HJV gene was found in a young woman with juvenile hemochromatosis, causing unusual symptoms like secondary hypothyroidism.
research Different Levels of 5α-Reductase Type I and II, Aromatase, and Androgen Receptor in Hair Follicles of Women and Men with Androgenetic Alopecia
People with hair loss have more androgen receptors and enzymes in certain follicles, with men and women showing different patterns.
research Studies of androgen metabolism and action in cultured hair and skin cells
Androgens don't directly affect hair cell growth or protein production.
research Ozenoxacin suppresses sebum production by inhibiting mTORC1 activation in differentiated hamster sebocytes
Ozenoxacin reduces sebum production, helping manage acne.
research The determination of endogenous steroids in hair and fur: A systematic review of methodologies
research SAT-293 Novel Presentation Of A Heterozygous INSR Mutation And Markedly Elevated Testosterone Levels In A Pediatric Patient, A Case Report.
A young patient with unusual insulin resistance and high testosterone levels had a rare INSR gene mutation.
research Hyperandrogénie féminine
The document concludes that managing female hyperandrogenism requires a combination of identifying the cause, lifestyle changes, medication, and cosmetic treatments.
research Evaluation of New Pregnane Derivatives as 5.ALPHA.-Reductase Inhibitor.
New pregnane derivatives are effective at inhibiting an enzyme linked to hair loss and reducing oil gland activity.
research Novel Systematics of Nomenclature and Classification of Female Functional Androgenization (Including Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and Non-Classic Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia)
A new system helps better diagnose and treat female androgenization conditions like PCOS.
research Comparative GC-MS Based In vitro Assays of 5α-Reductase Activity Using Rat Liver S9 Fraction
The S9 fraction with GC-IDMS is effective for measuring 5α-reductase activity.
research Treatment of Hirsutism With Spironolactone
Spironolactone is a safe and effective treatment for reducing excessive hair growth in women.
research LB1047 Comparative analysis of cutaneous hormonal profiles in pre-menopausal and post-menopausal women
