research The clinical evaluation of hirsutism
Hirsutism is excessive hair growth in women often caused by polycystic ovarian syndrome, and identifying the cause is important for managing associated health risks.
research The control of hair growth: An overview
Hair growth is influenced by interactions between skin layers, growth factors, and hormones, but the exact mechanisms are not fully understood.
research HAIR AND SYSTEMATIC DISEASE
Hair loss can indicate underlying systemic diseases and addressing these can sometimes reverse the hair loss.
research Pre-receptor regulation of the androgen receptor
Two enzymes regulate androgen receptor activity, affecting treatments for androgen insufficiency and benign prostatic hyperplasia.
research Multi-therapies in androgenetic alopecia: review and clinical experiences
Multiple treatments work best for hair loss.
research A prospective randomized trial comparing finasteride to spironolactone in the treatment of hirsute women.
Finasteride and spironolactone both reduce hirsutism, but finasteride lowers androgen levels more.
research The slick hair coat locus maps to chromosome 20 in Senepol-derived cattle
The gene for slick hair in Senepol cattle is located on chromosome 20 and may involve the SRD5A2 gene.
research The evolutionary impact of androgen levels on prostate cancer in a multi-scale mathematical model
Low androgen levels might delay prostate cancer but could lead to more aggressive, therapy-resistant cancers.
research The biology of hair diversity
Hair diversity is influenced by complex genetics and environmental factors, requiring more research for practical solutions.
research Hormonal treatment of acne vulgaris: an update
Hormonal treatments are effective for severe or persistent acne and should be used with other acne therapies, considering potential side effects.
research Biology of Hair Growth
Testosterone and dihydrotestosterone affect hair growth, and new techniques like the folliculogram help study it, but fully understanding hair growth is still complex.
research Genetics and other factors in the aetiology of female pattern hair loss
Female pattern hair loss has unclear causes, possibly involving genetics, hormones, and environment, and needs better treatments.

The document concludes that correct diagnosis and management of PCOS are important, and more research is needed on its risks and treatments.
research Hidradenitis suppurativa/Acne inversa: an endocrine skin disorder?
Hidradenitis suppurativa may be related to hormones and patients often have metabolic disorders; more research is needed to understand this connection.
research Role of insulin resistance and diet in acne
Eating high glycemic foods and drinking milk may worsen acne by increasing insulin and IGF-1 levels.
research INSULIN-LOWERING MEDICATIONS IN POLYCYSTIC OVARY SYNDROME
Insulin-lowering medications show promise for PCOS symptoms but can't be the main treatment yet due to limited long-term research.
research ANTIANDROGEN AND HORMONAL TREATMENT OF ACNE
Certain hormone treatments can improve acne and related conditions in women.
research Membrane androgen receptors may mediate androgen reinforcement
Androgen self-administration might be controlled by membrane receptors, not nuclear ones.
research Evaluation of the rodent Hershberger assay using three reference endocrine disrupters (androgen and antiandrogens)
The assay effectively detects hormonal activity of certain chemicals.
research ANTIANDROGEN THERAPY IN DERMATOLOGY
Antiandrogens can help treat skin conditions like acne and excessive hair in women when used carefully.
research Becker's nevus associated with chromosomal mosaicism and congenital adrenal hyperplasia
High androgen levels and genetic factors likely cause Becker's nevus and related symptoms.
research Carriers of 21-Hydroxylase Deficiency Are Not at Increased Risk for Hyperandrogenism*
People who carry the 21-Hydroxylase Deficiency gene are not more likely to have excessive male hormone levels.
research The Mechanism of Androgen Actions in PCOS Etiology
Androgens play a key role in causing PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome).
research Hair loss in elderly women
Hair loss in elderly women is often caused by various factors, including hormonal changes after menopause.
research Characteristics of flutamide action on prostatic and testicular functions in the rat
