research Androgenic effects of oral contraceptives: Implications for patient compliance
Newer low-dose oral contraceptives with less androgenic effects improve patient compliance.
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 Evaluating the diagnostic accuracy of androgen measurement in polycystic ovary syndrome: a systematic review and diagnostic meta-analysis to inform evidence-based guidelines
Androgen measurement helps diagnose PCOS, but accuracy varies, needing standard methods.
research A Randomized, Controlled Pilot Trial Comparing Platelet-Rich Plasma to Topical Minoxidil Foam for Treatment of Androgenic Alopecia in Women
Both Platelet-Rich Plasma and Minoxidil foam increase hair count in women with hair loss, but Minoxidil is more effective. However, women were more satisfied with Platelet-Rich Plasma treatment.
research Circulating androgen levels before and after oophorectomy in premenopausal and postmenopausal women
Oophorectomy lowers testosterone and estrogen levels in both premenopausal and postmenopausal women, with postmenopausal women still producing significant testosterone.
research Simultaneous quantitation of nine hydroxy-androgens and their conjugates in human serum by stable isotope dilution liquid chromatography electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry
A new method accurately measures nine specific hormones in human blood.
research Miniaturized hairs maintain contact with the arrector pili muscle in alopecia areata but not in androgenetic alopecia: A model for reversible miniaturization and potential for hair regrowth
Miniaturized hairs stay connected to muscle in alopecia areata, allowing possible regrowth, but not in androgenetic alopecia.
research Bone vs. fat: Embryonic origin of progenitors determines response to androgen in adipocytes and osteoblasts
Androgens affect bone and fat cell development differently based on the cells' embryonic origin.
research Graham Little-Piccardi-Lassueur syndrome associated with androgen insensitivity syndrome (testicular feminization)
A woman had both Graham Little-Piccardi-Lassueur syndrome, causing hair loss, and complete androgen insensitivity syndrome, making her genetically male but physically female. This suggests androgens don't affect the hair loss condition.
research Topical Estrogen Therapy for Androgenetic Alopecia in Menopausal Females
Topical estrogen helps hair growth in menopausal women with no major side effects.
research Management of Androgenetic Alopecia
Treatments for common hair loss include minoxidil, finasteride, and hair transplantation.
research Androgens and the hair follicle. Cultured human dermal papilla cells as a model system.
research Metabolism of androgens by isolated human hair follicles
Beard hair follicles convert testosterone to 5α-dihydrotestosterone most intensively.
research Maternal androgen excess induces cardiac hypertrophy and left ventricular dysfunction in female mice offspring
High levels of male hormones in pregnant mice cause heart enlargement and poor heart function in their female babies.
research Androgen receptor: A promising therapeutic target in breast cancer
The androgen receptor is a promising target for breast cancer treatment, especially in triple-negative cases, but more research is needed for personalized therapies.
research Comparative effectiveness of low-level laser therapy for adult androgenic alopecia: a system review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
Low-level laser therapy significantly increases hair density in adults with hair loss, with low-frequency treatment being more effective.
research An Open-Label Randomized Multicenter Study Assessing the Noninferiority of a Caffeine-Based Topical Liquid 0.2% versus Minoxidil 5% Solution in Male Androgenetic Alopecia
Caffeine-based liquid 0.2% is as effective as minoxidil 5% for treating male hair loss.
research Finasteride adverse effects in subjects with androgenic alopecia: A possible therapeutic approach according to the lateralization process of the brain
Finasteride may cause mental and sexual side effects, with hand preference and sexual orientation possibly affecting severity.
research Improvement in scalp hair growth in androgen‐deficient women treated with testosterone: a questionnaire study
Testosterone therapy helped 63% of androgen-deficient women grow scalp hair, but more research is needed.
research Young men’s coping with androgenetic alopecia: Acceptance counts when hair gets thinner
Acceptance reduces hair loss distress and medical consultations; coping mechanisms increase them.
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 A preliminary study on topical cetirizine in the therapeutic management of androgenetic alopecia
Topical cetirizine improves hair density and thickness in androgenetic alopecia, but more research is needed.
research The combination of overweight and smoking increases the severity of androgenetic alopecia
Overweight smokers have worse hair loss.
research Is acne a sign of androgen excess disorder or not?
Acne is an important sign of androgen excess disorders in women.
research Erosive pustular dermatosis of the scalp following topical latanoprost for androgenetic alopecia
Latanoprost may cause scalp inflammation and delayed healing.
research Contribution of hair density and hair diameter to the appearance and progression of androgenetic alopecia in Japanese men
Hair thickness matters more than density for baldness in Japanese men over 25.
research Investigation of four novel male androgenetic alopecia susceptibility loci: no association with female pattern hair loss
No link found between new male baldness genes and female hair loss.
research The use of low-level light therapy in the treatment of androgenetic alopecia and female pattern hair loss
Low-level light therapy may help hair regrowth, but more research is needed.
research Androgenetic alopecia and current methods of treatment.
Topical minoxidil and finasteride help treat male baldness, while women benefit from antiandrogens and minoxidil.
