research Modelling androgen synthesis and action during human sexual differentiation
Male sexual differentiation is regulated independently, while female differentiation occurs in an androgenic environment, affecting conditions like congenital adrenal hyperplasia.
research Androgen- and Estrogen-Secreting Adrenal Cancers
Rare adrenal cancers that secrete androgens or estrogens have a poor prognosis and are treated primarily with surgery.
research Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) and Other Androgen Excess–Related Conditions: Can Changes in Dietary Intake Make a Difference?
Dietary changes, including weight loss and a balanced diet, are important for managing PCOS, especially in overweight women.
research Baiting Proteins with C60
C60 fullerenes can alter protein function and may help develop new disease inhibitors.
research Oral administration of berberine represses macrophage activation-associated benign prostatic hyperplasia: a pivotal involvement of the NF-κB
Berberine may reduce prostate enlargement by blocking inflammation.
research Blockade of Androgen Markers Using a Novel Betasitosterol, Thioctic Acid and Carnitine-containing Compound in Prostate and Hair Follicle Cell-based Assays
The new compound was more effective than finasteride in reducing markers of hair loss and prostate issues in cell tests.
research Recent advances in the molecular mechanisms determining tissue sensitivity to glucocorticoids: novel mutations, circadian rhythm and ligand-induced repression of the human glucocorticoid receptor
New findings explain how genetic changes, body clocks, and certain molecules affect tissue response to stress hormones.
research Dermatosis associated with menopause
Menopause can cause skin issues, and seeing a dermatologist helps.
research Cutaneous Drug Eruptions Associated with the Use of Biologies and Cutaneous Drug Eruptions Mimicking Specific Skin Diseases
Some drugs, especially biologics, can cause skin reactions that look like other skin diseases, and stopping the drug usually helps clear up these reactions.
research Non polycystic ovary syndrome–related endocrine disorders associated with hirsutism
Hirsutism can be caused by various conditions besides PCOS, and it's important to treat the underlying issue and manage symptoms with medication and cosmetic approaches.
research Expression of 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 in visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissues of patients with polycystic ovary syndrome is associated with adiposity
Increased HSD11B1 enzyme expression is linked to higher body fat and insulin resistance.
research Diagnosis, Management, and Associated Comorbidities of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: A Narrative Review
Early detection and comprehensive treatment of PCOS are crucial due to its long-term health impacts and associated risks.
research Large-Scale Plasma Proteomics and Genetic Integration Uncover Novel Biological Pathways in Male Pattern Baldness
New biological pathways and potential treatment targets for male pattern baldness were identified.
research Generalised Glucocorticoid Resistance
Generalized glucocorticoid resistance causes hormone imbalances and varied symptoms due to gene mutations.
research The biology of hair diversity
Hair diversity is influenced by complex genetics and environmental factors, requiring more research for practical solutions.
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 Pharmacology of anabolic steroids
Anabolic steroids can build muscle and strength but have risks and need more research on their clinical benefits and side effects.
research Editor’s picks January 2021
PrEP doesn't increase STI risk in high-risk men, anti-androgen drugs may lower ICU admission for male COVID-19 patients, a 3-point injection is better for crow's feet, and the 'Geriatric-8' tool could help assess frailty in older skin cancer patients.
research New Therapeutic Approach to the Hirsute Patient
Spironolactone can reduce hair growth in women with hirsutism.
research Perspectives of Kennedy's disease
Kennedy's disease leads to muscle weakness and sensory issues, has no cure but manageable symptoms, and future treatments look promising.
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 Molecular mechanisms of androgenetic alopecia
AGA causes hair loss by shrinking hair follicles due to DHT binding, and can be treated with finasteride and minoxidil.
research Idiopathic Hirsutism*
The document concludes that more research is needed to understand excessive hair growth in women with normal hormone levels and regular ovulation.
research Main Plenary Sessions: Summaries of Papers
The document concludes that accurate diagnosis and treatment are crucial in dermatology, and it presents various findings on skin conditions and treatments.
research The 5 Alpha-Reductase Isozyme Family: A Review of Basic Biology and Their Role in Human Diseases
The document concludes that the 5 alpha-reductase enzymes are important in steroid metabolism and related to various human diseases, with inhibitors used to treat conditions like male pattern baldness and prostate issues.
research Sex differences in SARS-CoV-2 infection rates and the potential link to prostate cancer
Men, especially older ones with health issues like prostate cancer, may have worse COVID-19 outcomes and could benefit from therapies targeting male hormones.
research Potential targets in the discovery of new hair growth promoters for androgenic alopecia
The document concludes that targeting 5α-reductase, the androgen receptor, and hair growth genes, along with using compounds with anti-androgenic properties, could lead to more effective hair loss treatments.
research Red Ginseng Extract Promotes the Hair Growth in Cultured Human Hair Follicles
Red Ginseng Extract may help human hair grow by activating growth pathways and blocking negative effects of certain hormones.
research Characteristics of flutamide action on prostatic and testicular functions in the rat
Flutamide combined with an LHRH agonist effectively inhibits prostate growth, suggesting it could treat prostate cancer.
