research Higher androgen and estrogen output and less follicular atresia can be induced in healthy ovaries by culturing them with sera from PCOS patients: is PCOS really of intraovarian origin?
PCOS may be influenced by factors in the blood, not just the ovaries.
research Maternal androgen excess inhibits fetal cardiomyocytes proliferation through RB-mediated cell cycle arrest and induces cardiac hypertrophy in adulthood
Excess maternal androgens can cause heart problems in offspring.
research Arctiin blocks hydrogen peroxide-induced senescence and cell death though microRNA expression changes in human dermal papilla cells
Arctiin helps protect hair cells from damage and death caused by oxidative stress.
research The Transcriptional Co-Activator cAMP Response Element-Binding Protein-Binding Protein Is Expressed in Prostate Cancer and Enhances Androgen- and Anti-Androgen-Induced Androgen Receptor Function
A protein called CBP is found in prostate cancer and can increase the effectiveness of certain prostate cancer treatments.

Panax ginseng extract may help prevent hair loss caused by DKK-1.
research Hormone-induced aberrations in electromagnetic adhesion signaling as a developmental factor of androgenetic alopecia
Hormones cause hair loss by affecting cell growth and weakening cell attraction.
research Androgens induce sebaceous differentiation in sebocyte cells expressing a stable functional androgen receptor
Androgens cause oil-producing skin cells with androgen receptors to mature and produce more oil.
research Drug-Induced Hair Changes
Some drugs can cause changes to your hair.
research Dihydrotestosterone induces p27 degradation via direct binding with SKP2 in ovarian and breast cancer
Dihydrotestosterone causes p27 protein breakdown in ovarian and breast cancer cells by binding with SKP2.
research Tamoxifen-Induced Total Alopecia
Tamoxifen can cause total hair loss but its benefits outweigh this side effect.
research Physiological changes in scalp, facial and body hair after the menopause: a cross-sectional population-based study of subjective changes
After menopause, some women lose scalp hair and gain facial hair, with patterns suggesting different underlying causes.
research ERG induces androgen receptor-mediated regulation of SOX9 in prostate cancer
ERG increases SOX9, promoting prostate cancer growth and invasion.
research Finasteride-Induced Gynecomastia in a 62-Year-Old Man
Finasteride caused enlarged breast tissue in a 62-year-old man.
research Genome-wide shifts in gene expression induced in theca-interstitial cells by inflammatory stimuli
African American women have a higher risk of preterm delivery than Caucasian women, and inflammatory stimuli affect gene expression in cells related to PCOS, showing a heightened inflammatory state in women with PCOS.
research Drug-Induced Skin, Nail and Hair Disorders
Some drugs can cause skin, nail, and hair problems, which are important for healthcare professionals to recognize and report.
research Targets to treat androgen excess in polycystic ovary syndrome
The conclusion is that while oral contraceptive pills are effective for PCOS-related high androgen levels, new treatments with fewer side effects are needed.
research Minoxidil for Endocrine Therapy–Induced Alopecia in Women With Breast Cancer—Saint Agatha’s Blessing?
Topical minoxidil improves hair loss in 80% of women with breast cancer undergoing endocrine therapy.
research Regression of Pathologic Changes Induced by the Long-term Administration of Contraceptive Steroids to Rodents
Some steroid-induced health issues in rodents improved after stopping treatment, but hair loss and eye problems did not.
research Acute Stress-Induced Changes in Follicular Dermal Papilla Cells and Mobilization of Mast Cells: Implications for Hair Growth
Stress can slow hair growth by affecting certain cells and pathways.
research Lifestyle changes in women with polycystic ovary syndrome
Lifestyle changes can improve body composition, excess male hormone levels, and insulin resistance in women with PCOS.
research Impact of Cernitin™ on induced chronic prostatitis in animal model for understanding management of lower urinary tract symptoms
Cernitin™, a pollen extract, was found to significantly reduce pain and inflammation in rats with chronic prostatitis, suggesting it could be a useful alternative to certain anti-inflammatory drugs.
research Effect of Citrullus colocynthis Schard on Testosterone-Induced Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia
Citrullus colocynthis fruit extract and its compound may help treat enlarged prostate.
research Manifestation of Hyperandrogenism in the Continuous Light Exposure-Induced PCOS Rat Model
Continuous light exposure in rats leads to PCOS-like symptoms and suggests sleep habits might affect the disorder's development.
research Change in hair growth-related gene expression profile in human isolated hair follicles induced by 5-alpha reductase inhibitors – dutasteride and finasteride – in the presence of testosterone
Dutasteride and finasteride can help increase hair growth gene expression but need further improvement.
research The Post-finasteride Syndrome: Clinical Manifestation of Drug-Induced Epigenetics Due to Endocrine Disruption
Finasteride can cause lasting sexual dysfunction, depression, and other side effects, needing more research for treatment.
research Hydroxychloroquine modulates the progression of experimentally induced benign prostatic hyperplasia in rats via targeting EGFR/ERK/STAT3 and AR/FOXO1/TRAIL pathways: computational and in vivo studies
