research Children and the Quality of Ambulatory Care
Children receive less than half of recommended health care, and routine hormonal testing for female-pattern hair loss is unnecessary without other androgen excess symptoms.
research Is androgenic alopecia a result of endocrine effects on the vasculature?
Male-pattern baldness might be caused by the effect of hormones on scalp blood vessels.
research Female pattern hair loss
FPHL causes hair loss in women due to genetics and hormones; minoxidil and anti-androgens are treatments, and early intervention is advised.
research Acne: Hormonal concepts and therapy
Hormones, especially androgens, play a big role in acne, but most acne sufferers don't have a hormone disorder. Hormonal treatments, including birth control pills, can be very effective for women whose acne doesn't improve with regular treatments.
research Male-pattern baldness susceptibility locus at 20p11
Researchers found a new gene area linked to male-pattern baldness, which, along with another gene, significantly increases the risk of hair loss in men.
research Sulfatase inhibitors: a patent review
The document concludes that research on sulfatase inhibitors should continue due to their potential in treating various diseases, despite some clinical trial failures.
research Gonadal Sex Steroids: Production, Action and Interactions in Mammals
The document concludes that sex hormones are crucial for mammalian reproduction, health, and behavior, and require more research for therapeutic use.
research Finasteride and dutasteride may reduce melanoma risk
Finasteride and dutasteride might lower melanoma risk.
research Reply to ‘What is the effect of obesity on the folliculosebaceous unit?’
Obesity is linked to more severe hair loss in adult men and to excess hair growth, but its effects on hair conditions are complex and need more research.
research Antiandrogen therapy for androgenetic alopecia
Antiandrogen therapy helps treat genetic hair loss.
research Hormonal regulation of hair follicles exhibits a biological paradox
Androgens can both stimulate and cause hair loss, and understanding their effects is key to treating hair disorders.
research Genetic variants in AR and SHBG and resistance to hormonal castration in prostate cancer
Certain genetic variants increase the risk of resistance to hormone therapy in prostate cancer patients.
research Testicular Steroidogenesis
Genetic defects in testosterone production can cause hormonal and developmental disorders, and more research is needed to understand androgen regulation and develop safer treatments.
research Promotion of Hair Growth byRosmarinus officinalisLeaf Extract
Rosemary leaf extract may be an effective natural treatment for hair growth and male pattern baldness.
research Treatment of Hair Loss
Finasteride and minoxidil are effective for hair loss, but continued research is needed for better treatments.
research The Role of Oral Contraceptives in the Treatment of Hyperandrogenic Disorders
Oral contraceptives help treat hyperandrogenic disorders, improving symptoms like excessive hair and acne.
research Relationship between betacoronaviruses and the endocrine system: a new key to understand the COVID-19 pandemic—A comprehensive review
Betacoronaviruses, like COVID-19, may cause hormone system dysfunction and affect disease susceptibility and severity.
research Hormonal regulation in male androgenetic alopecia—Sex hormones and beyond: Evidence from recent genetic studies
Hormones and genes affect hair growth and male baldness.
research Glucocorticoid and Sex Hormone Receptors: Clinical Implications and Therapeutic Relevance
Glucocorticoids and sex hormones affect skin health, with potential for targeted treatments to minimize side effects and treat skin conditions.
research Cardiometabolic and neuroimaging correlates of cognitive function in polycystic ovary syndrome
Women with PCOS have altered brain structure and reduced cognitive performance.
research Treatment of idiopathic facial hirsutism with medroxyprogesterone acetate iontophoresis
Medroxyprogesterone acetate iontophoresis safely and effectively reduces facial hair growth in women.
research Management of Hirsutism and Acne in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: A Narrative Review of Current Evidence and Emerging Therapies
Treating hirsutism and acne in women with PCOS needs a personalized approach using oral contraceptives, antiandrogens, and sometimes metformin.
research Acupuncture improves anxiety and depression in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome: a systematic evaluation and meta-analysis
Acupuncture reduces anxiety and depression in women with PCOS.
research Polycystic ovary syndrome — the skin as a mirror of endocrine disorders
Skin symptoms often reveal hormonal imbalances in PCOS.
research Androgenetic alopecia: Update on etiology
AGA, a common hair loss, is caused by genetics, hormones, age, and environmental factors.
research Potential adverse effects of long-term testosterone therapy
Long-term testosterone therapy can cause hormone suppression, affect prostate and heart health, and alter physical characteristics, but does not increase prostate cancer risk and needs more research for full risk assessment.
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 Is COVID-19 a risk factor for progression of benign prostatic hyperplasia and exacerbation of its related symptoms?: a systematic review
COVID-19 might worsen symptoms and progression of benign prostatic hyperplasia, possibly due to inflammation and metabolic disturbances in the prostate gland. More research is needed to confirm this.
research Testosterone target therapy: focus on immune response, controversies and clinical implications in patients with COVID-19 infection
Testosterone may have a dual role in COVID-19, potentially worsening outcomes in men, and testosterone therapy could help some patients, but more research is needed.
