Long-term treatment with buprenorphine/naloxone for opioid addiction may lead to secondary adrenal insufficiency.
research Effects of Restraint Stress and Allopregnanolone Inhibition on Amphetamine Locomotor Sensitivity
Targeting neurosteroids may help prevent drug relapse.
research SERUM-CONCENTRATIONS OF Dehydroepyandrosterone-sulfate IN MEN WITH ANDROGENETIC ALOPECIA
Men with male pattern baldness don't necessarily have high levels of Dehydroepyandrosterone-sulfate, and there's no link between its levels and the severity of hair loss.
research Treatment of androgenic disorders with dexamethasone: Dose-response relationship for suppression of dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate
Lower doses of dexamethasone can safely reduce high DHEAS levels in women with androgenic disorders.
research Sheehan Syndrome Leading to Acute Systolic and Diastolic Heart Failure: A Case Report
Untreated Sheehan's Syndrome caused severe heart failure in a woman, which improved with hormone and heart failure treatment.
research Correlation Analysis of Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal Axis Hormone Levels in Hair before Stroke Onset and Mood Disorders after Stroke
Higher cortisol and cortisone levels in hair may predict mood disorders after a stroke.
research Distinctive features of steroid hormone metabolism in female patients with androgenic alopecia
Women with hair thinning have disrupted steroid hormone levels, but this doesn't often show as other health issues. More research is needed on hormone balance in this condition.
research Hormonal Parameters in Androgenetic Hair Loss in the Male
Men with male pattern hair loss have different levels of certain hormones compared to men without hair loss.
research Targeting the pre-receptor metabolism of cortisol as a novel therapy in obesity and diabetes
Blocking a specific enzyme might help treat obesity and diabetes, but more research is needed to ensure it's safe.
research Approach to Investigation of Hyperandrogenism in a Postmenopausal Woman
Postmenopausal hyperandrogenism, a condition with symptoms like increased hair growth and acne, is usually caused by PCOS but can also be due to other factors. It's diagnosed by checking testosterone levels and treated either by removing the adrenal tumor or through antiandrogen therapy.
research Serum androgen bioactivity is low in children with premature adrenarche
research Opposite effects of dihydrotestosterone and estradiol on apoptosis in the anterior pituitary gland from male rats
research Novel Systematics of Nomenclature and Classification of Female Functional Androgenization (Including Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and Non-Classic Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia)
A new system helps better diagnose and treat female androgenization conditions like PCOS.
research Screening for associated autoimmune disorders in Polish patients with Addison’s disease
research Utilisation of gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) analogue to differentiate ovarian from adrenal hyperandrogenism in postmenopausal women
GnRH analogue can help diagnose ovarian causes of high testosterone in postmenopausal women when scans don't show the cause.
research Ovarian hyperthecosis in adolescent females: two case reports and a review of the literature
Ovarian hyperthecosis should be considered in young women with severe male-like symptoms and can be managed with hormone treatments.
research Serum dihydrotestosterone levels are associated with adverse myocardial remodeling in patients with severe aortic valve stenosis before and after aortic valve replacement
Higher DHT levels are linked to worse heart changes in severe aortic valve stenosis patients.
research 8800 A Case of Hypopituitarism Due to Sheehan Syndrome
Sheehan syndrome can cause hormone deficiencies after childbirth, but treatment can improve symptoms.
research Cutaneous hydroxystereoid dehydrogenases and rat-hair-cycle
Certain enzymes react strongly with some hormones in rat skin during hair growth, mainly in sebaceous glands and hair sheaths.
research A Virilizing Malignant Steroid Cell Tumor-Leydig Cell Subtype in a 24-Year-Old Palestinian Female with Challenging Histopathological and Biochemical Features: A Case Report
A young woman had a rare, aggressive ovarian tumor that was hard to diagnose and treat, leading to disease progression despite treatment.
research Tamoxifen-induced androgenetic alopecia in a dialysis patient with sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis (SEP)
research Effect of finasteride on adrenal steroidogenesis in men.
Finasteride, when taken daily, lowers dihydrotestosterone levels but doesn't noticeably affect adrenal steroid production, except by blocking the 5 alpha-reductase enzyme.
research Steroid Therapy in Alopecia Universalis
Prednisolone can quickly regrow hair in alopecia universalis, but hair falls out after stopping it.
research Alopecia areata in solid organ transplant recipients: A retrospective analysis
Alopecia areata is rare in organ transplant patients and may be linked to the drug tacrolimus.
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 Androgen deprivation therapy and hormonal status in men with COVID-19
Hormonal status from androgen deprivation therapy may affect COVID-19 severity in men.
research Atrophying scamous papulous dermatitis (Degos disease): Nine years of follow-up
A woman with Degos disease managed her condition for nine years with medications and had two healthy pregnancies, while a separate finding suggests a possible link between female pattern hair loss and high blood pressure.
research MECHANISM OF PROTEINURIA
Cortisone may help hair regrow by altering the local environment, with regrowth starting 3-4 weeks after treatment, but its use is not widely recommended.
