research Mechanisms of Disease: selective inhibition of 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 as a novel treatment for the metabolic syndrome
Blocking the enzyme 11β-HSD1 might help treat obesity and metabolic issues.
research Androgen receptors and their biology
Androgen receptors are key for development and health, affecting conditions like prostate cancer and male pattern baldness.
research Thyroid hormone action on skin
Thyroid hormone affects skin health, with too little causing rough, pale skin and too much leading to smooth, thin skin, and may also impact wound healing and skin conditions.
research 11β-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 inhibitors for the treatment of type 2 diabetes
Inhibitors of 11β-HSD1 show potential for treating type 2 diabetes but require more testing for safety and effectiveness.
research Hair growth-promoting effect of Geranium sibiricum extract in human dermal papilla cells and C57BL/6 mice
Geranium sibiricum extract helps hair grow and is more effective than minoxidil but can be toxic in high concentrations.
research Cloning of the human phenol sulfotransferase gene family: three genes implicated in the metabolism of catecholamines, thyroid hormones and drugs
Scientists identified three genes important for processing certain brain chemicals, thyroid hormones, and medications.
research Thyroid hormone action on skin.
Thyroid hormones affect skin texture, hair and nail growth, and can cause skin diseases related to thyroid problems.
research Protective effect of DA-9401 in finasteride-induced apoptosis in rat testis: inositol requiring kinase 1 and c-Jun N-terminal kinase pathway
DA-9401 helps protect rat testis from finasteride damage.
research Evidence Suggesting a Role of Iron in a Mouse Model of Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis
Iron contributes to skin fibrosis in nephrogenic systemic fibrosis.
research Is the metabolism of testosterone to 5α-dihydrotestosterone required for androgen action in the skin?
Testosterone conversion to 5α-DHT may not be essential for its effects on the skin.
research Thyroid hormones and androgens differentially regulate gene expression in testes and ovaries of sexually mature Silurana tropicalis
Thyroid hormones and androgens affect gene expression in frog reproductive organs differently between males and females.
research Left Ventricular Function in Patients with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: A Doppler Echocardiographic Study
Young women with PCOS without additional risk factors may have normal heart function.
research Overexpression of Lnk in the Ovaries Is Involved in Insulin Resistance in Women With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Higher Lnk protein levels in ovaries may lead to insulin resistance in women with PCOS.
research A patient with combined polycystic ovary syndrome and autoimmune polyglandular syndrome type 2
A woman was the first known case to have both polycystic ovary syndrome and autoimmune polyglandular syndrome type 2, suggesting a need to check for both conditions in similar patients.
research Recent Advances in the Medical and Surgical Treatment of Priapism
New treatments for long-lasting erections improve outcomes but must be timely to avoid lasting damage.
research From bedside to bench: regulation of host factors in SARS-CoV-2 infection
The conclusion is that certain genetic factors and blood types may affect COVID-19 severity, but changes in ACE2 and TMPRSS2 genes are not clearly linked to it.
research Markers of peripheral androgen action in vivo and in vitro
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is crucial for conditions like male-pattern baldness and acne, and measuring a byproduct, androstanediol glucuronide, is a better way to assess DHT's effects than DHT blood levels.
research Cardiometabolic and neuroimaging correlates of cognitive function in polycystic ovary syndrome
Women with PCOS have altered brain structure and reduced cognitive performance.
research Cedrol mitigates hepatic lipid accumulation and adipocyte hypertrophy induced by corticosteroids through the inhibition of glucocorticoid receptor activity
Cedrol may help reduce liver fat and fat cell growth caused by corticosteroids.
research Glucocorticoid Receptor Antagonism Improves Glucose Metabolism in a Mouse Model of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Blocking glucocorticoid receptors improves glucose metabolism in a PCOS mouse model.
research Vitamin D and Skin: An Review and Update
Vitamin D is important for skin health and can help treat and prevent various skin conditions.
research Hirsutism and virilization
Excessive hair growth in women can be harmless or signal serious health issues, and treatment often includes medication and hair removal, with noticeable results after 3-6 months.
research Pharmacokinetics and Bioconversion of Dehydroepiandrosterone after Application of Dexamethasone in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Women with PCOS have higher 5alpha-reductase activity, affecting steroid levels.
research Human gene correlation analysis (HGCA): A tool for the identification of transcriptionally co-expressed genes
The HGCA tool helps identify genes that work together by analyzing their co-expression patterns.
research Hidradenitis suppurativa: pathogenesis and management
Hidradenitis suppurativa, a chronic skin disease, can be managed with antibiotics, lifestyle changes, and in severe cases, surgery. Early diagnosis and careful planning are key, and laser treatment can be an efficient solution for mild to severe cases.
