Different ACE2 gene versions may affect COVID-19 impact based on age and suggest some hair loss drugs could be potential treatments.
research Repurposing existing drugs for COVID-19: an endocrinology perspective
Existing drug dexamethasone may lower death risk in severe COVID-19 cases; more research needed for other drugs.
research Is COVID-19 a risk factor for progression of benign prostatic hyperplasia and exacerbation of its related symptoms?: a systematic review
COVID-19 might worsen symptoms and progression of benign prostatic hyperplasia, possibly due to inflammation and metabolic disturbances in the prostate gland. More research is needed to confirm this.
research Polymorphism of genes in patients with new coronavirus infection COVID-19
Genetic differences affect COVID-19 severity and treatment effectiveness.
research ‘’Brown adipose tissue in the form of innovative approach for polycystic ovary syndrome treatment-still long time to reach clinical arena: a narrative review’’
More research is needed before using brown fat to treat polycystic ovary syndrome.
research SARS‐CoV‐2 & androgenic alopecia: exploring links!
Possible link between COVID-19 and hair loss; more research needed.
research SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein S1-Mediated Endothelial Injury and Pro-Inflammatory State Is Amplified by Dihydrotestosterone and Prevented by Mineralocorticoid Antagonism
Spironolactone may help reduce COVID-19 severity in men by blocking harmful effects of certain hormones.
research COVID-19 and androgenic status: testosterone or dihydrotestosterone have a pivotal role?
Higher dihydrotestosterone may be linked to more inflammation in COVID-19 patients with low testosterone.
research An analysis of gene expression data involving examination of signaling pathways activation reveals new insights into the mechanism of action of minoxidil topical foam in men with androgenetic alopecia
Minoxidil foam helps hair growth by increasing good proteins and decreasing bad pathways in men with hair loss.
research Analyzing the role of ACE2, AR, MX1 and TMPRSS2 genetic markers for COVID-19 severity
MX1 and AR genes are linked to milder COVID-19, while TMPRSS2 increases severe risk, especially in women.
research IMMUNOLOGICAL AND SOME BIOLOGICAL BIOMARKERS INVESTIGATION IN PATIENTS WITH SYSTEMIC LUPUS ERYTHEMATOSUS
No single biomarker is reliable enough for diagnosing and assessing SLE.
research SARS-CoV-2 Non-Structural Proteins and Their Roles in Host Immune Evasion
SARS-CoV-2 proteins help the virus avoid the immune system, delaying response and increasing inflammation.
research Proxalutamide Significantly Accelerates Viral Clearance and Reduces Time to Clinical Remission in Patients with Mild to Moderate COVID-19: Results from a Randomized, Double-Blinded, Placebo-Controlled Trial
Proxalutamide helps COVID-19 patients get rid of the virus faster and recover quicker.
research Alert to US physicians: DHEA, widely used as an OTC androgen supplement, may exacerbate COVID-19
The over-the-counter supplement DHEA could make COVID-19 worse, especially in diabetics and people with G6PD deficiency.
research Use of Antiandrogens as Therapeutic Agents in COVID-19 Patients
Antiandrogens may help prevent or treat COVID-19 by blocking virus entry into cells.
research Relationship between hair shedding and systemic inflammation in COVID-19 pneumonia
Hair shedding after COVID-19 is more linked to the disease's severity and inflammation rather than hormones, with women at higher risk.
research Insights into the Scenario of SARS-CoV-2 Infection in Male Reproductive Toxicity
COVID-19 may harm male reproductive health and lower testosterone levels, potentially affecting fertility and causing erectile dysfunction. More research is needed.
research Anti-SARS-CoV-2 Action of 5α-Reductase Inhibitors May Be Mediated by Dehydroepiandrosterone. Letter.
Certain drugs like Dutasteride and Finasteride might help fight SARS-CoV-2 by increasing levels of a steroid called DHEA, which can protect the heart and increase nitric oxide to counteract the virus.
research Testosterone in COVID-19: An Adversary Bane or Comrade Boon
Testosterone's effects on COVID-19 are unclear and need more research.
research Molecular Mechanisms Lead to Sex-Specific COVID-19 Prognosis and Targeted Therapies
Men are more at risk for severe COVID-19 due to biological differences, suggesting the need for targeted treatments.
research Skin Tissue: A Place for SARS-CoV-2 to Multiply and Transmit?
SARS-CoV-2 might infect and multiply in skin tissue, possibly aiding in its transmission.
research Are sex hormones promising candidates to explain sex disparities in the COVID-19 pandemic?
Sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone may affect COVID-19 severity differently in men and women, potentially influencing prevention and treatment strategies.
research The secret identities of TMPRSS2: Fertility factor, virus trafficker, inflammation moderator, prostate protector and tumor suppressor
TMPRSS2 helps viruses enter cells and protects the prostate from inflammation-related cancer.
