research Female pattern hair loss: beyond an androgenic aetiology?
Estrogen and prolactin may play bigger roles in female hair loss than previously thought.
research Female Androgenic Alopecia
Women with low SHBG levels and a high 3a-diol G to SHBG ratio are likely to experience female pattern baldness, possibly due to a slight excess of androgens affecting sensitive hair bulbs.
research Establishment of SV40T-transformed human dermal papilla cells and identification of dihydrotestosterone-regulated genes by cDNA microarray
Researchers created a cell line to study hair growth and found specific genes affected by dihydrotestosterone.
research Exclusive androgenic effect of dehydroepiandrosterone in sebaceous glands of rat skin
DHEA acts like a male hormone on rat skin glands and doesn't turn into female hormones there.
research Kinetic analysis of LY320236: competitive inhibitor of type I and non-competitive inhibitor of type II human steroid 5α-reductase
LY320236 is a strong blocker of two enzymes that change testosterone into dihydrotestosterone and might help treat conditions related to male hormones.
research Sexual Problems of Men With Androgenic Alopecia Treated With 5-Alpha Reductase Inhibitors
Men using hair loss drugs like finasteride may experience sexual side effects like erectile dysfunction, but it's unclear who will be affected and when. Treating depression and sexual symptoms is suggested, as these men often have higher rates of both. More research is needed to understand why these side effects occur.
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 Untargeted Metabolomics and Steroid Signatures in Urine of Male Pattern Baldness Patients after Finasteride Treatment for a Year
Finasteride treatment changes urine metabolomics and steroid signatures, potentially monitoring effectiveness but may cause sexual side effects.
research Human Derived Immortalized Dermal Papilla Cells With a Constant Expression of Testosterone Receptor
Researchers created immortal human skin cells with constant testosterone receptor activity to study hair loss and test treatments.
research Selective induction of apoptosis in the hamster flank sebaceous gland organ by a topical liposome 5-α-reductase inhibitor: A treatment strategy for acne
A topical treatment safely and effectively reduced acne by causing targeted cell death in sebaceous glands without side effects.
research Adrenal steroid precursors exert potent androgenic action in the hamster sebaceous glands of flank organs and ears.
Certain adrenal hormones can strongly stimulate oil gland growth in hamster skin, similar to male hormones.
research Evaluation of the 5α-reductase inhibitor finasteride on reproduction and gonadal development in medaka, Oryzias latipes
Finasteride negatively affects fish reproduction and gonadal development.
research Hirsutism
Most women with hirsutism have it because of PCOS, and they need long-term treatment including medication and hair removal to improve their condition.
research Baldness and testicular cancer: the EPSAM case-control study
Bald men may have a lower risk of testicular cancer.
research Pharmacological Inhibition of DGAT1 Induces Sebaceous Gland Atrophy in Mouse and Dog Skin While Overt Alopecia Is Restricted to the Mouse
Blocking DGAT1 reduces oil gland size in mice and dogs, but only mice experience hair loss.
research Global Trends in Research of Androgen Receptor Associated With Breast Cancer From 2011 to 2020: A Scientometric Analysis
Research from 2011 to 2020 shows androgen receptors could be key for prognosis and treatment in certain breast cancers.
research 5α-reductase inhibitors
5α-reductase inhibitors help treat disorders caused by DHT and have potential for future therapies.
research Challenges in the Assessment and Diagnosis of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Diagnosing Polycystic Ovary Syndrome is hard due to varying symptoms, no set criteria, and the need for better tests and education.
research Cardiac and Renal SARS-CoV-2 Viral Entry Protein Regulation by Androgens and Diet: Implications for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and COVID-19
Androgens and a high-fat diet may increase the risk of severe COVID-19 in women with PCOS by upregulating certain proteins in the heart and kidneys.
research Bad Hair Day: Testosterone and Wnts
Testosterone can both promote hair growth and cause baldness by affecting hair growth signals.
research The genetically programmed hair growth cycle and alopecia: what is there to know?
The document concludes that hair loss is complex, affects many people, has limited treatments, and requires more research on its causes and psychological impact.
research Management of polycystic ovary syndrome in adolescence
Early treatment and weight management are important for teenagers with PCOS to reduce symptoms and long-term health risks.
research Diagnosis and treatment of polycystic ovarian syndrome: an update
PCOS is managed with medication, lifestyle changes, and a healthy diet.
research British Hair and Nail Society
Men with a certain type of hair loss often use facial moisturizers, and a specific antibiotic treatment may help another hair condition.
research Androgenetische Alopezie beim Mann . Male androgenetic alopecia
Male androgenetic alopecia involves hair follicle miniaturization due to DHT, with potential treatments using inhibitors and blockers.
research DERMATOLOGICAL CONDITIONS IN TRANSGENDER PATIENTS: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW
Transgender individuals face unique skin issues, often due to hormone therapy, requiring specialized and stigma-free dermatologic care.
research Cross-kingdom delivery and putative gene modulation of androgen pathways by plant-derived exosome-like nanoparticles from polygoni multiflori radix promotes hair growth via miRNA cargo
Plant-derived nanoparticles from Polygoni Multiflori Radix promote hair growth better than Minoxidil by affecting androgen pathways.
research Increased Incidence of Telogen Effluvium Following Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy in Patients with Elevated TNF-α Expression: A Prospective Cohort Study
High TNF-α levels may increase hair loss risk after PRP therapy.
research The Serum Evaluation of Sex Hormones Including DHEAs, DHT, Testosterone in Oral Lichen Planus Patients
