research Androgens and hair: a biological paradox with clinical consequences
Androgens can both increase body hair and cause scalp hair loss.
research Androgen‐inducible TGF‐β1 from balding dermal papilla cells inhibits epithelial cell growth: a clue to understanding paradoxical effects of androgen on human hair growth
Androgens may cause hair loss by increasing TGF-beta1 from scalp cells, which inhibits hair cell growth.
research The anti-androgen combination, flutamide plus finasteride, paradoxically suppressed LH and androgen concentrations in pregnant spotted hyenas, but not in males
Flutamide and finasteride reduced sex hormones in pregnant hyenas, but increased them in males.
research Androgen actions on the human hair follicle: perspectives
Androgens have complex effects on hair growth, promoting it in some areas but causing hair loss in others, and our understanding of this is still evolving.
research Hormonal regulation of hair follicles exhibits a biological paradox
Androgens can both stimulate and cause hair loss, and understanding their effects is key to treating hair disorders.
research A hypothetical pathogenesis model for androgenic alopecia: clarifying the dihydrotestosterone paradox and rate-limiting recovery factors
The model suggests that scalp tension could lead to hair loss, with factors like blood vessel hardening, enlarged oil glands, and poor microcirculation also playing a role. It also hints at a possible link between skull shape and baldness pattern.
research Becker's Nevus Syndrome
Becker's Nevus Syndrome is a rare condition with a skin patch and possible bone and muscle abnormalities, treated mainly for appearance.
research Androgens/Androgen Receptor in the Management of Skin Diseases
Understanding how androgens and their receptors work can lead to improved treatments for skin diseases.
research Androgens and hair growth
Androgens can both increase and decrease hair growth in different parts of the body.
research Role of Androgen in Mesenchymal Epithelial Interactions in Human Hair Follicle
Androgens promote beard growth but cause hair loss in androgenetic alopecia, with TGF-β1 as a potential treatment target.
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 Regulation of human hair growth: hormones and neuropeptides
Hormones and neuropeptides affect hair growth, with androgens having opposite effects on beard and scalp hair.
research The Biology of Hair Growth
Hair growth is influenced by hormones and goes through different phases; androgens can both promote and inhibit hair growth depending on the body area.
research Highlights of Hair India 2012
Hair India 2012 was a successful international event focused on combating fake trichology practices and discussing various hair health topics.
research Balding hair follicle dermal papilla cells contain higher levels of androgen receptors than those from non-balding scalp
Cells from balding scalps have more androgen receptors than cells from non-balding scalps.
research Androgens and human hair growth
Androgens can cause hair growth in some areas and hair loss on the scalp.
research Keratinocyte Growth Inhibition through the Modification of Wnt Signaling by Androgen in Balding Dermal Papilla Cells
Androgens slow hair growth by altering Wnt signaling in balding cells.
research Androgens and hair loss
The document concludes that hair transplantation and gene therapy may be important for future hair loss treatment.
research Androgens trigger different growth responses in genetically identical human hair follicles in organ culture that reflect their epigenetic diversity in life
Male hormones cause different growth in identical human hair follicles due to their unique epigenetic characteristics.
research Is paradoxical hair growth caused by low-level radiant exposure by home-use laser and intense pulsed light devices?
Home-use lasers and IPL devices are unlikely to directly cause paradoxical hair growth; it may be linked to inflammation or hormonal issues.
research Molecular basis of androgenetic alopecia: From androgen to paracrine mediators through dermal papilla
Male pattern baldness involves hormones and cell signals affecting hair growth.
research Androgen modulation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling in androgenetic alopecia
Androgens may block hair growth signals, targeting this could treat hair loss.
research Development of fluridil, a topical suppressor of the androgen receptor in androgenetic alopecia
Fluridil promotes hair growth safely and effectively for androgenetic alopecia.
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 Androgen Biosynthesis and Gene Defects
Gene mutations can cause problems in male genital development.
research Androgen receptor transactivity is potentiated by TGF-β1 through Smad3 but checked by its coactivator Hic-5/ARA55 in balding dermal papilla cells
TGF-β1 increases androgen receptor activity in hair loss, but Hic-5/ARA55 can counter this effect.
research Androgens and Cardiovascular Disease
Male hormones may play a role in the development of heart disease, and more research is needed to understand their effects.
research Epidemiology, diagnosis and management of hirsutism: a consensus statement by the Androgen Excess and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Society
Experts recommend using evidence-based methods to diagnose and treat hirsutism, focusing on symptoms and underlying causes.
research Androgens and alopecia
Male hormones, particularly DHT, are linked to male pattern hair loss, and treatments like finasteride can help, but they don't work for postmenopausal women's hair loss, which may have different causes.
