research Relapse of hirsutism following long‐term successful treatment with oestrogen–progestogen combination
Most patients experienced hirsutism again after stopping hormone treatment, indicating long-term treatment is needed to maintain results.
research Effects of finasteride, a 5 alpha-reductase inhibitor, on circulating androgens and gonadotropin secretion in hirsute women.
Finasteride reduces dihydrotestosterone, increases testosterone, and may treat hirsutism in women.
research Contraceptive use in acne
Hormonal contraceptives can help treat acne by affecting sebum production and androgen levels.
research Clinical Case Seminar: Postmenopausal androgen excess-challenges in diagnostic work-up and management of ovarian thecosis
The conclusion is that removing both ovaries is the best treatment for excess male hormones in postmenopausal women, with medication as another option, and managing insulin resistance is important for diagnosis and treatment.
research Hirsutism: A Clinico-investigative Study
Most cases of excessive hair growth in women are caused by polycystic ovarian syndrome and are linked to higher free testosterone levels.
research Ovarian morphology and prevalence of polycystic ovary syndrome in reproductive aged women with or without mild acne
Women with mild acne are more likely to have polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) than those without acne.
research Decreased lipin 1β expression in visceral adipose tissue is associated with insulin resistance in polycystic ovary syndrome
Lower lipin 1β in belly fat is linked to insulin resistance in people with polycystic ovary syndrome.
research What is the Rationale for Androgen Therapy for Women?
Testosterone therapy can help improve mood, sexual function, and bone health in women with low androgen levels, but more research is needed to establish safe and effective guidelines.
research Novel inhibitors of 5α-reductase
New research is needed to create better drugs that block the enzyme responsible for conditions like male baldness and prostate enlargement.
research Dopamine is a novel, direct inducer of catagen in human scalp hair folliclesin vitro
Dopamine stops hair growth and pigment production in human scalp hair follicles.
research Disrupted Pancreatic Exocrine Differentiation and Malabsorption in Response to Chronic Elevated Systemic Glucocorticoid
High glucocorticoids cause pancreatic malfunction and malabsorption, reversible with enzyme supplements.
research CLINICAL UPDATES IN HAIR
Most treatments for hair loss in 1997 were not effective for most people, and maintaining hair growth was difficult.
research Rapid Blood Pressure Control With Minoxidil
Minoxidil effectively lowers blood pressure and initially increases plasma renin activity without raising aldosterone levels.
research Skin and glucocorticoids: effects of local skin glucocorticoid impairment on skin homeostasis
Local skin glucocorticoid production is crucial for healthy skin, and its disruption can lead to skin diseases.
research The Utility of Metformin Therapy in Reproductive-Aged Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
Metformin helps regulate menstrual cycles, induce ovulation, and improve pregnancy outcomes in women with PCOS.
research Dihydrotestosterone induces p27 degradation via direct binding with SKP2 in ovarian and breast cancer
Dihydrotestosterone causes p27 protein breakdown in ovarian and breast cancer cells by binding with SKP2.
research Apocrine sweat gland obstruction by antiperspirants allowing transdermal absorption of cutaneous generated hormones and pheromones as a link to the observed incidence rates of breast and prostate cancer in the 20th century
The document suggests that blocking sweat glands with antiperspirants might allow skin-generated hormones to be absorbed, possibly increasing breast and prostate cancer risk.
research Low-dose (2.5 mg/day) finasteride treatment in hirsutism
