research A Perspective on the Evolving Landscape in Male Reproductive Medicine
Advancements in male reproductive medicine are ongoing, but more research and improved treatments are needed in several areas.
research Androgens and Cardiovascular Disease
Male hormones may play a role in the development of heart disease, and more research is needed to understand their effects.
research Oral Pigmentation as a Sign of Addison’s Disease: A Brief Reappraisal
Oral pigmentation can be a sign of Addison's disease.
research The genetically programmed hair growth cycle and alopecia: what is there to know?
The document concludes that hair loss is complex, affects many people, has limited treatments, and requires more research on its causes and psychological impact.
research Acne vulgaris
Oral isotretinoin was recommended for a 21-year-old woman with severe acne.
research Advances in Aesthetic Therapies: Plasma-Rich Protein Procedure for the Treatment of Alopecia
Platelet-rich plasma therapy shows promise for hair regrowth in alopecia patients.
research Plasma levels of C19 steroid glucuronides in pre-menopausal women with non-classical congenital adrenal hyperplasia
Women with non-classical congenital adrenal hyperplasia have higher levels of certain steroids, which can be reduced by treatment.
research Androgens and Hirsutism in a Large Cohort of Portuguese Women
PCOS is the most common cause of hirsutism, and personalized treatment is important.
research Inhibition of Hair Growth by Testosterone in the Presence of Dermal Papilla Cells from the Frontal Bald Scalp of the Postpubertal Stumptailed Macaque
Testosterone can slow hair growth in adult monkeys, but a blocker called RU 58841 can counteract this and potentially help hair regrow.
research The effects of synthetic 19-norprogestins on osteoblastic cell function are mediated by their non-phenolic reduced metabolites
Synthetic 19-norprogestins promote bone cell growth and function through their non-phenolic metabolites.
research The effects of two doses of spironolactone on serum androgens and anagen hair in hirsute women
Spironolactone reduced hair thickness and some testosterone levels in women with excessive hair growth.
research GC-MS determination of steroids related to androgen biosynthesis in human hair with pentafluorophenyldimethylsilyl–trimethylsilyl derivatisation
The method accurately measures certain steroids in human hair, showing different levels in males and females.
research New ester derivatives of dehydroepiandrosterone as 5α-reductase inhibitors
New compounds may help treat prostate issues without affecting androgen receptors.
research Greater conversion of testosterone to 5α-dihydrotestosterone, reflecting increased peripheral 5α-reductase activity in nude mice treated with high doses of cyclosporine A
High doses of cyclosporine A increase testosterone conversion, possibly boosting hair growth.
research Verstärkter Haarwuchs unter Langzeittokolyse mit Fenoterol** unter Berücksichtigung von Testosteron, Androstandiol, Cortisol und ACTH*
Fenoterol treatment causes increased hair growth due to higher metabolism in hair follicles, not hormones.
research Aromatase inhibition by letrozole attenuates kainic acid-induced seizures but not neurotoxicity in mice
Letrozole reduces seizures but not brain damage in mice.
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 Measurement of tamsulosin in human serum by liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry
A reliable method was created to measure tamsulosin in human blood.
research 5α-Reductases In Human Physiology: an Unfolding Story
We need to learn more about 5α-reductases and neuroactive steroids to safely make drugs targeting these enzymes.
research Hyperandrogenism in PCOS
In PCOS, high male hormones cause hair growth, acne, and hair loss, affecting periods.
research Pharmacology of Anti-androgens in the Skin
Anti-androgens can help reduce the effects of male hormones on the skin.
research Is Dihydrotestosterone a Classic Hormone?
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) mainly affects nearby cells, doesn't significantly change prostate hormonal environment or cancer risk, and doesn't play a main role in causing hair loss or acne. More research is needed on its effects on heart health, sexual function, and bone health.
research Selective androgen receptor modulators (SARMs) have specific impacts on the mouse uterus
GTx-024 and Danazol affect the uterus like DHT, while GTx-007 has little impact.
research Hirsutism
research Male Androgenetic Alopecia
research Finasteride, a Type 2 5α-reductase inhibitor, in the treatment of men with androgenetic alopecia
Finasteride effectively treats male hair loss, improving growth and density.
research FCE 28260, a new 5α-reductase inhibitor: In vitro and in vivo effects
FCE 28260 is a stronger and longer-lasting inhibitor of 5α-reductase than finasteride, which may make it a better treatment for certain medical conditions.
research Obesity and female androgenic alopecia: A cause and an effect?
Obesity may contribute to female hair loss by increasing male hormone levels that affect hair follicles.
research A Prospective Randomized Trial Comparing Low Dose Flutamide, Finasteride, Ketoconazole, and Cyproterone Acetate-Estrogen Regimens in the Treatment of Hirsutism
Cyproterone acetate-estrogen most effective for hirsutism, but consider side effects and patient needs.
