research Influence of Saw palmetto and Pygeum africana extracts on the urinary concentrations of endogenous anabolic steroids: Relevance to doping analysis
Taking Saw palmetto and Pygeum africana can change the levels of certain steroids in urine, which could cause confusion in doping tests.
research A study of clinical and investigational profile of hirsute women at a tertiary care center in Western India
Idiopathic hirsutism is the most common cause of hirsutism in women, followed by PCOS.
research Cardiometabolic risk factors in women with non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia
Women with non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia have higher risk for heart and metabolic problems.
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 A study of endocrine profile in premenopausal women with hirsutism
Obesity is strongly linked to the severity of hirsutism in women.
research Adrenal Cortex Tumors and Hyperplasias
Most adrenal cortex tumors are benign and non-secreting, but proper diagnosis and treatment are important due to the rare possibility of cancer.
research An overview of female pattern hair loss
Female pattern hair loss involves thinning hair on crown and frontal scalp, diagnosed by hair ratio, and treated with minoxidil, antiandrogens, or hair transplantation.
research Recognizing polycystic ovary syndrome in the primary care setting
Doctors should recognize and treat PCOS early in primary care to manage symptoms and lower risk of other health issues.
research Treatment of female sexual dysfunction in postmenopausal women—What is the evidence?
Hormonal changes and psychological issues can cause sexual dysfunction in postmenopausal women. Behavioral therapy is recommended first, with hormone replacement helping some symptoms but not libido. Testosterone can improve libido, but its effects on overall sexual function are unclear. Emotional and relationship issues should be addressed before using medication, and the benefits and risks of testosterone supplementation should be considered.
research Late bedtime was associated with increased androgen and reduced lean mass in women with polycystic ovary syndrome: a cross-sectional study
Going to bed late may increase hormones and decrease muscle in women with PCOS.
research An adolescent girl with coexisting ovarian mature cystic teratoma and HAIR-AN syndrome, an extreme subtype of polycystic ovarian syndrome
A teenage girl had both a rare ovarian tumor and a severe form of polycystic ovarian syndrome.
research Male‐pattern baldness, common latent viruses, and microcompetition
Common latent viruses might contribute to male-pattern baldness by disrupting cell processes that normally suppress hair loss-related proteins.
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 Hirsutism: Diagnosis and Treatment
The document concludes that hirsutism can be managed with various treatments tailored to the individual, potentially improving quality of life.
research Vascular endothelial growth factor and its receptor may be one molecular mechanism for androgenetic alopecia
VEGF and its receptor might cause hair loss.
research Exploring phytoandrogens: A review of their potential in health and medicine
Phytoandrogens from plants may help treat low testosterone naturally.
research Diagnosis and treatment of polycystic ovarian syndrome: an update
PCOS is managed with medication, lifestyle changes, and a healthy diet.
research Organizational Effects of Estrogens and Androgens on Estrogen and Androgen Receptor Expression in Pituitary and Adrenal Glands in Adult Male and Female Rats
Early hormones shape sex-specific differences in rat glands.
research Evaluation of metabolic and hormonal parameters in women with PCOS living in Black Sea Region
Women with PCOS have a higher risk of metabolic syndrome and need lifestyle changes and treatment.
research Androgenetic alopecia: Update on etiology
AGA, a common hair loss, is caused by genetics, hormones, age, and environmental factors.
research Pharmacological and Phytochemical Updates on Citrullus colocynthis & Citrullus lanata
Citrullus colocynthis and Citrullus lanatus have potential health benefits but may also cause reproductive toxicity.
research Role of serum androgens and prostate-specific antigen levels in men with androgenetic alopecia
Higher testosterone and DHT levels are linked to hair loss in men, but not to prostate cancer risk.
research A Teenage Girl with Unexpected Pubertal Changes
The girl's unexpected pubic hair growth led to a diagnosis different from complete androgen insensitivity syndrome.
research Androgenic Alopecia: Cross-Talk Between Cell Signal Transduction Pathways
Hair loss in Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is due to altered cell sensitivity to hormones, not increased hormone levels. Hair growth periods shorten over time, causing hair to become thinner and shorter. This is linked to miscommunication between cell pathways in hair follicles. There's also a change in gene expression related to blood vessels and cell growth in balding hair follicles. The exact molecular causes of AGA are still unclear.
research Cardiometabolic and neuroimaging correlates of cognitive function in polycystic ovary syndrome
Women with PCOS have altered brain structure and reduced cognitive performance.
research Mister XX
Most 46XX CAH patients have female identity, but a few identify as male and may need treatment and surgery.
research Adult Acne
Adult acne is more common in women, often linked to hormones, and can be harder to treat.
research Use of oral contraceptives in the management of acne
Birth control pills with low-dose estrogen and antiandrogenic progestins can effectively treat acne.
research Anti-Androgens
