research Serum Ferritin and Vitamin D in Female Hair Loss: Do They Play a Role?
Low iron and vitamin D levels are linked to hair loss in women.
research Polycystic ovary syndrome and insulin-resistant hyperinsulinemia
Insulin resistance contributes to hormone imbalances in many women with polycystic ovary syndrome.
research Potential targets in the discovery of new hair growth promoters for androgenic alopecia
The document concludes that targeting 5α-reductase, the androgen receptor, and hair growth genes, along with using compounds with anti-androgenic properties, could lead to more effective hair loss treatments.
research Influence of TRPV3 mutation on hair growth cycle in mice
The TRPV3 gene mutation affects hair growth by keeping mice in the growth phase longer, which could help treat hair loss.

Obese women with PCOS show a male-like pattern in certain fat tissue gene expressions.
research HAIR AND SYSTEMATIC DISEASE
Hair loss can indicate underlying systemic diseases and addressing these can sometimes reverse the hair loss.
research The dihydrotestosterone (DHT) hypothesis of prostate cancer and its therapeutic implications
The document suggests that targeting the hormone DHT could be a more effective treatment for prostate cancer than targeting testosterone.
research Dihydrotestosterone Stimulates 5a-Reductase Activity in Pubic Skin Fibroblasts*
Dihydrotestosterone increases the activity of an enzyme in pubic skin cells that converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone.
research Menopause and aging, quality of life and sexuality
Menopause and aging can affect women's quality of life and sexuality, but hormone therapies may help alleviate these issues.
research Male androgenetic alopecia
DHT, a testosterone byproduct, causes male pattern baldness.
research Innovative use of spironolactone as an antiandrogen in the treatment of female pattern hair loss.
Spironolactone helps regrow hair in women with hair loss.
research Female Hirsutism: Pathophysiological Considerations and Therapeutic Implications*
Excessive hair growth in women often has no known cause and is not linked to race or other hormonal symptoms.
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 Specific morphogenetic events in mouse external genitalia sex differentiation are responsive/dependent upon androgens and/or estrogens
Mouse genital development depends on male or female hormones for specific features.
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 Molecular Genetic and Endocrine Mechanisms of Hair Growth
Hormones and their receptors, especially androgens, play a key role in hair growth and disorders like baldness.
research Androgen-Dependent Beard Dermal Papilla Cells Secrete Autocrine Growth Factor(s) in Response to Testosterone Unlike Scalp Cells
Beard cells, unlike scalp cells, produce growth factors in response to testosterone, which may explain differences in hair growth.
research The genetics of androgenetic alopecia
Genes and hormones cause hair loss, with four genes contributing equally.
research Hyperandrogenism in polycystic ovarian syndrome and role of CYP gene variants: a review
Certain gene variants may contribute to high androgen levels in women with polycystic ovary syndrome.
research Red Ginseng Extract Promotes the Hair Growth in Cultured Human Hair Follicles
Red Ginseng Extract may help human hair grow by activating growth pathways and blocking negative effects of certain hormones.
research Stem cell-derived motor neurons from spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy patients
The study suggests that motor neurons created from stem cells of patients with spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy show signs of the disease, including changes in protein levels and cell functions.
research Skin steroidogenesis in health and disease
The skin's ability to produce hormones is linked to various skin conditions, and better understanding this process could lead to new treatments.
research Chrousos syndrome: from molecular pathogenesis to therapeutic management
The review suggests thorough evaluation and genetic testing for proper diagnosis and treatment of Chrousos syndrome.
research A comparison between spironolactone and spironolactone plus finasteride in the treatment of hirsutism
Spironolactone plus finasteride reduces hirsutism more effectively.
research Idiopathic Hirsutism*
The document concludes that more research is needed to understand excessive hair growth in women with normal hormone levels and regular ovulation.
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 Steroid plant hormones: Effects outside plant kingdom
Plant steroid hormones show growth, health, and medicinal benefits in various organisms, including potential for treating diseases.
research Clinical and histopathologic features of hair loss in patients with HIV-1 infection
People with late-stage HIV-1 often experience a specific type of hair loss linked to multiple factors, including nutritional issues and immune responses.
research Biology of Hair Growth
