research Androgens and hair growth
Androgens can both increase and decrease hair growth in different parts of the body.
research Recent Advances in Drug Design and Drug Discovery for Androgen- Dependent Diseases
New treatments for prostate cancer and BPH show promise, including novel compounds that target hormone synthesis and response.
research Cultured dermal papilla cells from androgen-dependent human hair follicles (e.g. beard) contain more androgen receptors than those from non-balding areas of scalp
Beard hair follicles have more androgen receptors than non-balding scalp hair follicles.

The conclusion suggests that prostate cancer should be classified by castration status and that new therapies targeting androgen receptor signaling show promise.
research The endocrinology of baldness
Hormones and genetics play key roles in male and female baldness, which can affect mental health and may be linked to other health issues.
research MANAGEMENT OF ENDOCRINE DISEASE Hyperandrogenic states in women: pitfalls in laboratory diagnosis
Diagnosing hyperandrogenism in women is complex and requires accurate testing methods and consideration of SHBG levels.
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 Meloside A Protects Dermal Papilla Cells from DHT-Induced Damage via Androgen Receptor Modulation

The article concludes that hormonal therapy is an effective long-term acne treatment, even for those without hormonal imbalances.
research Implanon® and alopecia
The contraceptive implant Implanon may be linked to hair loss, but the reported case of alopecia could be unrelated to the implant.
research Sexual Hormones in Human Skin
Human skin makes sexual hormones that affect hair growth, skin health, and healing; too much can cause acne and hair loss, while treatments can manage these conditions.

The document concludes that more research is needed to understand excessive hair growth in women with normal hormone levels and regular ovulation.
research Role of insulin resistance and diet in acne
Eating high glycemic foods and drinking milk may worsen acne by increasing insulin and IGF-1 levels.
research Steroid Hormones
Steroid hormones are crucial for body functions and have various medical uses, but their misuse can lead to dependence.
