research 11-oxyandrogen Concentrations in Adolescents With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
Adolescents with PCOS have higher levels of certain androgens, which are linked to hair growth but don't help diagnose PCOS better than testosterone levels.
research 899 HIF1A stabilisation in the ORS of human hair follicles promotes aerobic glycolysis and synthesis of angiogenic factors
Stabilizing HIF1A in hair follicles may boost hair growth by enhancing energy production and blood vessel formation.
research The effect of the antiandrogen IIα-hydroxyprogesterone on sebum production and cholesterol concentration of sebum
The antiandrogen 11α-hydroxyprogesterone effectively reduces skin oil and cholesterol when applied to the skin.
research Analysis of hairless corepressor mutants to characterize molecular cooperation with the vitamin D receptor in promoting the mammalian hair cycle

research Mutation in human hair keratin hHb6 in monilethrix: clinical variation is not due to genetic variation.
research Vitamin D metabolism and function in the skin
Skin cells produce and activate vitamin D, which regulates skin functions and supports hair growth.
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 Synthesis and Pharmacological Evaluation of New Progesterone Esters as 5.ALPHA.-Reductase Inhibitors
Smaller substituents at C-17 enhance the inhibitory activity of progesterone derivatives on 5alpha-reductase.
research Activation of mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 promotes hair growth in human hair follicles

research The significance of CYP11A1 expression in skin physiology and pathology
CYP11A1 is crucial for skin health and disease by producing important steroids.
research Endocrinology and auxology of sibships with non-classical congenital adrenal hyperplasia.
Siblings with signs of virilization should be tested for non-classical congenital adrenal hyperplasia, which does not affect adult height but may impact fertility and well-being if untreated.
