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 Hirsutism, Normal Androgens and Diagnosis of PCOS
Hirsutism can occur in women with PCOS even if their androgen levels are normal, making diagnosis challenging.
research Gender aspects in skin diseases
Men are more likely to get infectious skin diseases, while women are more prone to autoimmune and pigment-related skin conditions, influenced by biological and environmental factors.
research Circulating androgen regulation by androgen-catabolizing gut bacteria in male mouse gut
Gut bacteria can lower androgen levels in male mice.
research Shedding: How to manage a common cause of hair loss
Manage hair shedding by identifying triggers, possibly using supplements or medications, and tracking with a health calendar.
research Negative Impact of Testosterone Deficiency and 5α-Reductase Inhibitors Therapy on Metabolic and Sexual Function in Men
Low testosterone and 5α-reductase inhibitors can harm men's metabolic and sexual health; testosterone therapy may help, but discussing 5α-RIs' side effects is important.
research Gene expression of type 2 17β hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase in scalp hairs of hirsute women
Hirsute women have lower type 2 17β-HSD enzyme levels, which improve with treatment.
research The role of androgen therapy
Androgens, male hormones, play a role in both men and women's health, and testosterone therapy can help women with low levels, but it's not suitable for pregnant or lactating women, or those with certain conditions.
research Hormonal therapy in female pattern hair loss
Hormonal therapies help treat female hair loss, but results are slow and vary.
research Androgen Affects the Inhibitory Avoidance Memory by Primarily Acting on Androgen Receptor in the Brain in Adolescent Male Rats
Androgens improve memory in adolescent male rats by acting on brain receptors.
research Metabolic dysfunction in female mice with disruption of 5α-reductase 1
Female mice with disrupted 5α-reductase 1 had significant metabolic issues, including stress response problems, insulin resistance, liver fat buildup, and obesity.
research Mild Cutaneous Manifestation in Two Young Women with Extraordinary Hyperandrogenemia
Two women with very high androgen levels had only slight skin issues, one due to a non-classical adrenal disorder and the other due to an adrenal tumor.
research Antioxidant enzyme expression of mRNA and protein in the epididymis of finasteride-treated male rat offspring during postnatal development
Finasteride affects offspring's antioxidant enzymes in epididymis, possibly disrupting sperm maturation.
research The impact of obesity on the folliculosebaceous unit
Obesity may worsen hair loss in men and increase hirsutism in overweight or obese individuals, with weight loss recommended for treatment.
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 Generalised Glucocorticoid Resistance
Generalized glucocorticoid resistance causes hormone imbalances and varied symptoms due to gene mutations.
research 4th Intercontinental Meeting of Hair Research Societies 2004 The "World of Hair"
The meeting presented new findings on hair stem cells, pigmentation, genetics, and modern hair treatment techniques.
research THE GENETICS OF CYP GENE VARIANTS IN ASSOCIATION WITH POLYCYSTIC OVARY SYNDROME: A NARRATIVE REVIEW
Genetic variants in CYP genes may worsen PCOS symptoms.
research The utilisation of cardiac risk ratio and non-HDL cholesterol markers to assess cardiovascular risk in type 2 diabetes males with lowered serum DHT
Cardiac risk markers help assess heart risk in males with type 2 diabetes and low DHT.
research Acne Vulgaris
The document says that early treatment of Acne Vulgaris is important to prevent scarring and that adult onset acne is common in women, often due to hormonal imbalances.
research Hair and Scalp Variation Related to Gender
Gender affects hair and scalp characteristics, with differences in hormone responses, graying patterns, and trace metals.
research Alopecia: managing the basics
The document concludes that treatments for female hair loss and excess body hair are available, but managing expectations is important.
research Hormone Blocking Anticancer Drugs
The document explains how certain drugs block hormones to treat cancers like breast and prostate cancer.
research The physiological and pharmacological roles of prostaglandins in hair growth
Targeting the PGD2-DP2 pathway may help treat hair loss.
research Androgenetic alopecia
Hair loss from genetics and hormones can be treated with drugs or surgery.
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 Biosynthesis of Dihydrotestosterone by a Pathway that Does Not Require Testosterone as an Intermediate in the SZ95 Sebaceous Gland Cell Line
Dihydrotestosterone can be made from dehydroepiandrosterone in skin cells without needing testosterone.
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 12 Treatment of hirsutism with 5α-reductase inhibitors
