research Androgens and hair growth
Androgens can both increase and decrease hair growth in different parts of the body.
research Acne: Hormonal concepts and therapy
Hormones, especially androgens, play a big role in acne, but most acne sufferers don't have a hormone disorder. Hormonal treatments, including birth control pills, can be very effective for women whose acne doesn't improve with regular treatments.
research Androgen Dependence of Hirsutism, Acne, and Alopecia in Women
Hirsutism is more linked to high androgen levels than acne or hair loss, and a mix of hormonal tests is best for diagnosis; certain treatments can reduce symptoms.
research Primary Generalized Glucocorticoid Resistance and Hypersensitivity
The conclusion is that genetic changes in the glucocorticoid receptor can lead to conditions affecting stress response, immunity, and metabolism, requiring personalized treatment.
research Evidence-based approach to cutaneous hyperandrogenism in women
The conclusion is that oral contraceptives and antiandrogens can treat hirsutism and acne in women with cutaneous hyperandrogenism, but more research is needed for effective treatments, especially for hair loss.
research Hair Growth: Focus on Herbal Therapeutic Agent
Some plants may help with hair growth and have fewer side effects than synthetic drugs, but more research is needed to confirm their effectiveness.
research Sex hormones and sarcopenia in older persons
Sex hormone treatments can increase muscle mass in older adults but have inconsistent effects on muscle function and may carry cardiovascular risks.
research The Basic Science of Hair Biology
Hair disorders are caused by a complex mix of biology, genetics, hormones, and environmental factors, affecting hair growth and leading to conditions like alopecia.
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 Dermatological problems of the puberty
Puberty often causes skin issues like acne and excessive sweating, and treatments require patience as results may vary.
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 Precision therapeutics in non-scarring alopecia: a systemic genomic and pathway-based framework for targeted interventions
Personalized treatments for hair loss focus on specific genetic and biological pathways.
research Modelling androgen synthesis and action during human sexual differentiation
Male sexual differentiation is regulated independently, while female differentiation occurs in an androgenic environment, affecting conditions like congenital adrenal hyperplasia.
research Hyperandrogénie féminine
The document concludes that managing female hyperandrogenism requires a combination of identifying the cause, lifestyle changes, medication, and cosmetic treatments.
research The Female Pattern Hair Loss: Review of Etiopathogenesis and Diagnosis
Female pattern hair loss involves hormonal factors, genetics, and may be linked to low ferritin levels.
research The Biology of Hair Follicles
Hair follicle biology advancements may lead to better hair growth disorder treatments.
research Biology of estrogens in skin: implications for skin aging
Estrogens can improve skin aging but carry risks; more research is needed on safer treatments.
research Testosterone therapy for transgender men
Testosterone therapy in transgender men has both desired effects like increased muscle mass and potential health risks such as higher cardiovascular risk.
research The Hair Follicle as an Estrogen Target and Source
Estrogens significantly influence hair growth by interacting with receptors in hair follicles and may help regulate the hair growth cycle.
research Androgens and human hair growth
Androgens can cause hair growth in some areas and hair loss on the scalp.
research Oxidative stress in ageing of hair
Oxidative stress contributes to hair graying and loss as we age.
research No evidence for the immunocompetence handicap hypothesis in male humans
Higher free testosterone levels in men are linked to a stronger immune response, not weaker.
research Finasteride
Finasteride treats enlarged prostate, shrinks it, improves urination, but may cause sexual dysfunction and isn't for women or children.
research Female pattern hair loss: A clinical, pathophysiologic, and therapeutic review
No cure for female pattern hair loss, but various effective treatments exist.
research The Modulatable Stem Cell Niche: Tissue Interactions during Hair and Feather Follicle Regeneration
The document concludes that for hair and feather growth, it's better to target the environment around stem cells than the cells themselves.
research Androgenic Effects on Ventricular Repolarization
ADT, especially enzalutamide, may increase the risk of heart rhythm problems and sudden death in men.
research Baldness, acne and testicular germ cell tumours
Men with testicular cancer were less likely to experience baldness and severe acne.
research Sebaceous immunobiology - skin homeostasis, pathophysiology, coordination of innate immunity and inflammatory response and disease associations
Sebaceous glands play a key role in skin health, immunity, and various skin diseases.
research Clinical characterization of men with long QT syndrome and torsades de pointes associated with hypogonadism: A review and pharmacovigilance study
Low testosterone in men is a risk factor for a specific heart rhythm issue, and testosterone treatment may help prevent it.
