research Effect of neurosteroid dehydroepiandrosterone on the higher nervous activity of old non-human primates
DHEA improved brain function and behavior in old monkeys and had additional health benefits.
research Children and the Quality of Ambulatory Care
Children receive less than half of recommended health care, and routine hormonal testing for female-pattern hair loss is unnecessary without other androgen excess symptoms.
research Hirsutism
Excessive hair growth in women, often from high androgen levels, is usually caused by PCOS, and can be treated with hair removal, medication, and possibly weight loss.
research Risk of Abnormal Pregnancy Completing Chemotherapy for Gestational Trophoblastic Tumor
After chemotherapy for a gestational trophoblastic tumor, normal pregnancy rates are possible, but there's a slightly higher risk of the tumor reoccurring in future pregnancies.
research Stromal Cells of the Human Postmenopausal Ovary Display a Distinctive Biochemical and Molecular Phenotype
Postmenopausal ovary stromal cells have a unique makeup and limited steroid production, suggesting androgens come from the adrenal gland.
research Alterations in androgen conjugate levels in women and men with alopecia
Women with hair loss have higher androgen levels, while men with early balding have altered androgen ratios.
research 893 Low-level laser therapy for the treatment of male and female-pattern hair loss: A review of literature
Low-level laser therapy helps hair growth and reduces hair loss with few side effects.
research 5α-Reductase Inhibitors in the Treatment of Androgenetic Alopecia
Finasteride improves hair growth in men with androgenetic alopecia.
research Sub-chronic testosterone treatment increases the levels of epithelial sodium channel (ENaC)-α,βandγin the kidney of orchidectomized adult male Sprague–Dawley rats
Testosterone increases certain kidney protein levels, potentially raising blood pressure.
research THE EFFECTS OF THE SYNTHETIC AND NATURAL HORMONE OF THE ADRENAL CORTEX ON MELANIN DEPOSITION IN ADRENALECTOMIZED BLACK RATS FED DIETS ADEQUATE AND DEFICIENT IN THE FILTRATE FACTORS OF VITAMIN B1
Synthetic hormone treatment reduces melanin and hair growth in rats.
research THE FUNCTIONAL INTERRELATIONSHIP OF THE ANTERIOR PITUITARY AND THE ADRENAL CORTEX
The anterior pituitary controls adrenal cortex size and activity through ACTH.
research The Acute Anticonvulsant Effects of Deoxycorticosterone in Developing Rats: Role of Metabolites and Mineralocorticoid‐receptor Responses
Deoxycorticosterone and its metabolites help prevent seizures by interacting with specific receptors.
research Effects of testosterone on mean arterial pressure and aquaporin (AQP)-1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 7 expressions in the kidney of orchidectomized, adult male Sprague-Dawley rats
Testosterone raises blood pressure and changes kidney protein levels.
research Spironolactone
Spironolactone helps reduce hospital visits and death from heart issues, lowers blood pressure, but has unclear effects on heart failure with normal heart pump function and can cause high potassium and breast enlargement in men.
research Depletion of cortical allopregnanolone potentiates stress-induced increase in cortical dopamine output
Lower allopregnanolone levels increase stress-related dopamine release in the brain.
research STRESS AND AGING*
Anabolic steroids may help prevent aging effects by reducing toxicity, not by their usual functions.
research Pre-receptor regulation of the androgen receptor
Two enzymes regulate androgen receptor activity, affecting treatments for androgen insufficiency and benign prostatic hyperplasia.
research Contribution of androgens to chronic allograft nephropathy is mediated by dihydrotestosterone
Male hormones worsen kidney transplant damage, but blocking them helps.
research Fructose-1,6-bisphosphate aldolase A levels decrease in hair keratinocytes during androgenetic alopecia
ALDOA levels drop in hair cells during hair loss.
research AKR1D1 regulates glucocorticoid availability and glucocorticoid receptor activation in human hepatoma cells
AKR1D1 controls glucocorticoid levels and receptor activity in liver cells.
research Apparent Cortisone Reductase Deficiency: A Rare Cause of Hyperandrogenemia and Hypercortisolism
Cortisone reductase deficiency can cause high androgen and cortisol levels and may be missed in women with similar symptoms.
research Neurosteroids Are Endogenous Neuroprotectants in an Ex Vivo Glaucoma Model
A natural steroid in the body may protect against eye damage in glaucoma.
research The solar window hypothesis: androgenetic alopecia as an evolutionary adaptation to maintain bone mineral density in vitamin D receptor low-efficiency variants
research Effects of dihydrotestosterone on osteoblast activity in curdlan-administered SKG mice and osteoprogenitor cells in patients with ankylosing spondylitis
DHT inhibition may increase spinal bone growth in ankylosing spondylitis.
research New Nonsteroidal Molecules as Blockers of the Steroidogenic Pathway
New nonsteroidal molecules can potentially increase dihydrotestosterone in neurons by blocking certain enzymes, without affecting prostate and seminal vesicle weight.
research Reversal of andro-genetic alopecia in a male. A spironolactone effect?
A man's baldness improved possibly due to a medication that blocks male hormones.
research AN ATTEMPT TO ASSESS THE MAGNITUDE OF ENDOGENOUS ANDROGEN PRODUCTION IN A CASE OF THE ADRENOGENITAL SYNDROME*
A 17-year-old female with adrenogenital syndrome produces very high levels of androgens, which prevent complete feminization despite high estrogen doses.
research Hyperaldosteronism and Hyperprogesteronism in a Cat
Cats with adrenal tumors may have both hyperaldosteronism and hyperprogesteronism.
research SERUM-CONCENTRATIONS OF Dehydroepyandrosterone-sulfate IN MEN WITH ANDROGENETIC ALOPECIA
