research Atherogenesis: Estrogen Induction of Polysialylated nCAM (PSA-nCAM) Blocks Monocyte Capture by Vascular Endothelial Cells
Estrogen helps prevent artery plaque by stopping monocyte capture in blood vessels.
research The involvement of androgens in human hair growth
Androgens play a key role in hair growth and disorders like baldness and excessive hairiness.
research ESTROGEN RECEPTORS OF HAIRS BLACKS AND WHITES
Females have higher estrogen receptor levels in hair than males, and these levels decrease in white hair compared to black hair.
research Intratumoral De Novo Steroid Synthesis Activates Androgen Receptor in Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer and Is Upregulated by Treatment with CYP17A1 Inhibitors
Prostate cancer cells can make their own androgens to activate the androgen receptor, and treatments like abiraterone may increase this ability, suggesting new therapies should target the entire steroid-making pathway.
research Effect of estrogens on skin aging and the potential role of SERMs
Estrogens help reduce skin aging, and SERMs might offer similar benefits without the risks of hormone therapy.
research Three-Month Treatment With a Long-Acting Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone Agonist of Patients With Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia: Effects on Tissue Androgen Concentration, 5α-Reductase Activity and Androgen Receptor Content*
A three-month treatment with a GnRH agonist significantly lowered androgen levels and 5α-reductase activity in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia.
research Genome-wide association study identifies a new locus JMJD1C at 10q21 that may influence serum androgen levels in men
A new gene, JMJD1C, may affect testosterone levels in men.
research The E211 G>A Androgen Receptor Polymorphism Is Associated with a Decreased Risk of Metastatic Prostate Cancer and Androgenetic Alopecia
E211 G>A gene linked to lower risk of severe prostate cancer and hair loss.
research How should postmenopausal androgen excess be evaluated?
Evaluate postmenopausal women with high androgen levels using medical history, physical exams, lab tests, and imaging to manage health risks.
research Increased Androgen Binding Capacity in Sebaceous Glands in Scalp of Male-pattern Baldness
Men with male-pattern baldness have more androgen receptors in their scalp's oil glands, which may contribute to hair loss.
research Effects of the anti-androgen finasteride on 5alpha-reductase activity in human gingival fibroblasts in response to minocycline
Finasteride helps treat hair loss by blocking enzyme activity.
research Identification of androgen-regulated genes in SV40-transformed human hair dermal papilla cells
Hsc70 protein may influence hair growth by responding to androgens.
research Androgenic alopecia: A counterproductive outcome of the anabolic effect of androgens
Male pattern baldness is an unintended side effect of the body's use of androgens for muscle growth, especially in those genetically prone to it.
research Effects of High-dose Radioactive Iodine Therapy on Hormonal Profiles and Sperm Quality in Thyroidectomy Patients
High-dose radioactive iodine therapy does not harm fertility in thyroidectomy patients.
research Pharmacologically altered Androgens, Brain Activation and Response Inhibition in a Stop-Signal Task in Male Heavy Drinkers
Lower DHT and higher testosterone levels increase brain activation but don't change behavior in heavy drinkers.
research Estrogens and the skin
Estrogen loss during menopause worsens skin health, but hormone replacement therapy may improve it, though more research is needed.
research Hepatotoxicity Associated with Anabolic Androgenic Steroids and Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators: A Literature Review
Anabolic steroids and SARMs can cause serious liver damage.
research A Prospective Randomized Trial Comparing Low Dose Flutamide, Finasteride, Ketoconazole, and Cyproterone Acetate-Estrogen Regimens in the Treatment of Hirsutism
Cyproterone acetate-estrogen most effective for hirsutism, but consider side effects and patient needs.
research A rational approach to the diagnosis of polycystic ovarian syndrome during adolescence
Diagnosing PCOS in teenagers should focus on signs of excess male hormones and not rely solely on ovarian ultrasound or irregular periods, and should be reassessed in adulthood.
research A Prospective Randomized Trial Comparing Low Dose Flutamide, Finasteride, Ketoconazole, and Cyproterone Acetate-Estrogen Regimens in the Treatment of Hirsutism
All treatments reduce hair growth; low dose flutamide most effective with fewer side effects.
research Safety aspects of androgen treatment with 5α-dihydrotestosterone
DHT is a strong androgen that may pose less risk to the prostate compared to testosterone.
research American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists, American College of Endocrinology, and Androgen Excess and PCOS Society Disease State Clinical Review: Guide to the Best Practices in the Evaluation and Treatment of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome - Part 1
The guide recommends specific methods for diagnosing PCOS and various treatments for its symptoms, while considering the health impacts on adolescents.
research PLASMA C19 STEROID SULPHATE LEVELS AND INDICES OF ANDROGEN BIOAVAILABILITY IN FEMALE PATTERN ANDROGENIC ALOPECIA
Women with female pattern hair loss have higher levels of certain androgens, suggesting increased androgen exposure to hair follicles.
research Measurement and comparison of various androgen levels in women with severe acne, hirsutism, and androgenic alopecia
Women with severe acne, hirsutism, and androgenic alopecia often have higher levels of certain androgens, but the specific pattern can't be predicted just by looking at symptoms.
research Review of the effects of 17α-estradiol in humans: a less feminizing estrogen with neuroprotective potential
17α-estradiol is a safe estrogen that might protect the brain and doesn't cause feminization, needing more research for treating brain diseases.
research Clinical Case Seminar: Postmenopausal androgen excess-challenges in diagnostic work-up and management of ovarian thecosis
