research Inhibition of Human Steroid 5β-Reductase (AKR1D1) by Finasteride and Structure of the Enzyme-Inhibitor Complex
Finasteride helps treat hair loss and prostate enlargement by blocking a specific enzyme.
research Estimation of serum aldosterone, free testosterone and DHEA-S and scalp androgen and aldosterone receptors in female androgenetic alopecia. Is the mystery solved?
High aldosterone and free testosterone levels link to female hair loss; testing aldosterone may predict hypertension risk.
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 Sex differences in the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis’ response to stress: an important role for gonadal hormones
Male and female bodies respond differently to stress, influenced by hormones and development stages, with implications for stress-related diseases.
research Nonclassic adrenal hyperplasia
Nonclassic adrenal hyperplasia is a genetic condition that can cause early puberty and fertility problems, treated with specific steroids.
research Sulfatase inhibitors: a patent review
The document concludes that research on sulfatase inhibitors should continue due to their potential in treating various diseases, despite some clinical trial failures.
research Trace elements content and hormonal profiles in women with androgenetic alopecia
Women with AGA have more androstenedione and dihydrotestosterone, less copper and zinc; copper imbalance affects AGA; treatment improves hormones and minerals.
research Testicular Steroidogenesis
Genetic defects in testosterone production can cause hormonal and developmental disorders, and more research is needed to understand androgen regulation and develop safer treatments.
research Testosterone target therapy: focus on immune response, controversies and clinical implications in patients with COVID-19 infection
Testosterone may have a dual role in COVID-19, potentially worsening outcomes in men, and testosterone therapy could help some patients, but more research is needed.
research Metformin: an old medication of new fashion: evolving new molecular mechanisms and clinical implications in polycystic ovary syndrome
Metformin helps manage polycystic ovary syndrome by improving insulin resistance and ovulation, but more research is needed on its full effects.
research Role of genetics and sex steroid hormones in male androgenetic alopecia and female pattern hair loss: An update of what we now know
Genetics and hormones play a role in male and female hair loss, but more research is needed to fully understand it.
research Genetic Variants Associated with Hyperandrogenemia in PCOS Pathophysiology
Certain genetic variations are linked to increased androgen levels in PCOS, but more research is needed to understand these connections fully.
research Immunological aspects and gender bias during respiratory viral infections including novel Coronavirus disease‐19 (COVID‐19): A scoping review
Men are more likely to have severe respiratory viral infections like COVID-19 due to hormonal and genetic differences, while women generally have stronger immune responses.
research Gonadal Sex Steroids: Production, Action and Interactions in Mammals
The document concludes that sex hormones are crucial for mammalian reproduction, health, and behavior, and require more research for therapeutic use.
research Main Plenary Sessions: Summaries of Papers
UK medical students lack dermatology education, liver biopsy patients with risk factors show more fibrosis, and certain fungi resist drugs due to melanin; genetics may influence female hair loss.
research Effects of 5‐alpha reductase inhibitors on lung function: A reason for discontinuation duringCOVID ‐19 pandemic?
5-alpha reductase inhibitors might worsen lung recovery in COVID-19 patients, suggesting a pause in their use.
research COVID-19: Understanding Inter-Individual Variability and Implications for Precision Medicine
The conclusion is that individual differences in COVID-19 severity are influenced by factors like age, sex, race, and genetics, which are important for personalized medicine.
research 5α-reductase inhibitors
5α-reductase inhibitors help treat disorders caused by DHT and have potential for future therapies.
research Hydroxychloroquine modulates the progression of experimentally induced benign prostatic hyperplasia in rats via targeting EGFR/ERK/STAT3 and AR/FOXO1/TRAIL pathways: computational and in vivo studies
Hydroxychloroquine may help treat benign prostatic hyperplasia by reducing inflammation and promoting cell death.
research Male androgenetic alopecia
DHT, a testosterone byproduct, causes male pattern baldness.
research Hair aging and anti-aging
Hair ages due to various factors and treatments like minoxidil and finasteride can help, but more research and better public awareness are needed.
research Generalised Glucocorticoid Resistance
