Research
240-270 / 1000+ results research Ornithine decarboxylase is upregulated by the androgen receptor in skeletal muscle and regulates myoblast proliferation
Androgens increase muscle mass by promoting myoblast growth through ornithine decarboxylase.
research Genetics and other factors in the aetiology of female pattern hair loss
Female pattern hair loss has unclear causes, possibly involving genetics, hormones, and environment, and needs better treatments.
research Membrane androgen receptors may mediate androgen reinforcement
Androgen self-administration might be controlled by membrane receptors, not nuclear ones.
research Genetic Variants Associated with Hyperandrogenemia in PCOS Pathophysiology
Certain genetic variations are linked to increased androgen levels in PCOS, but more research is needed to understand these connections fully.
research Expression and function of nuclear receptor co-activator 4: evidence of a potential role independent of co-activator activity
NcoA4 may have roles beyond helping control gene activity, possibly affecting cell behavior and stability.
research Minoxidil may suppress androgen receptor-related functions
Minoxidil can reduce functions related to androgen receptors.
research Hormonal therapy in female pattern hair loss
Hormonal therapies help treat female hair loss, but results are slow and vary.
research 5α-Reductase isozymes and aromatase mRNA levels in plucked hair from young women with female pattern hair loss
Higher enzyme levels found in women with hair loss, suggesting hormone imbalance.
research Contraceptive use in acne
Hormonal contraceptives can help treat acne by affecting sebum production and androgen levels.
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 Male androgenetic alopecia
Male pattern baldness involves hormone-related hair thinning, shorter hair, and inflammation.
research Female Pattern Hair Loss
Over 50% of women over 50 experience hair loss, with minoxidil being the only proven effective treatment.
research Tissue-Selective Regulation of Androgen-Responsive Genes
The same hormone can affect gene expression differently in various tissues, which could lead to new treatments for conditions like hair loss.
research Hirsutism in the Adolescent Female
The conclusion is that young women with excessive hair growth should be quickly tested for hormonal issues and treated to improve their social well-being.
research Acne and hirsuties in teenagers
Acne and increased body hair in teenage girls are normal but severe cases may need hormone evaluation and treatment can prevent diabetes linked to PCO.
research Deciphering the Role of Androgen in the Dermatologic Manifestations of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Patients: A State-of-the-Art Review
High androgen levels cause skin issues in PCOS, affecting quality of life.
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 Are 2D:4D finger-length ratios an indicator of androgenetic alopecia in males?
Right hand finger ratio may predict male hair loss.
research The diagnosis of androgenetic alopecia in children: Considerations of pathophysiological plausibility
AGA in children needs careful diagnosis due to low androgen levels and possible other causes.
research Association between male pattern baldness and prostate disease: A meta-analysis
Men with male pattern baldness have a higher risk of aggressive prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia.
research Examination of androgenetic alopecia with serum biomarkers
Serum biomarkers like insulin-like growth factor-1 and vitamin D may help diagnose androgenetic alopecia.
research Effect of MK-386, a novel inhibitor of type 1 5 alpha-reductase, alone and in combination with finasteride, on serum dihydrotestosterone concentrations in men.
MK-386 and finasteride together effectively reduce DHT levels, potentially treating acne and male pattern baldness.
research Relation of urinary stone disease with androgenetic alopecia and serum testosterone levels
Balding and low testosterone increase risk of urinary stones.
research Developmental and functional roles of androgen and interactive signals for external genitalia and erectile tissues
Androgen and Wnt signals are crucial for developing and functioning male genitalia and erectile tissues.
research Cutaneous manifestations of polycystic ovary syndrome
Skin problems in PCOS, like excess hair, acne, and hair loss, may not always indicate high male hormone levels and need careful diagnosis for proper treatment.
research Problems in pattern alopecia
Female pattern hair loss diagnosis is challenging and should use dermoscopy and histopathology instead of pattern recognition, as hormones may not always be the cause.
research Society for Endocrinology Clinical Practice Guideline for the Evaluation of Androgen Excess in Women
Evaluate and manage androgen excess in women with a systematic approach, considering both physical and psychological impacts.
research Diagnosis and treatments of hirsutism: where are we?
Effective treatments for excessive hair growth in women include creams, laser therapy, and medications, with the choice depending on individual needs and potential side effects.
research Anabolic and Metabolic Effects of Testosterone and Other Androgens: Direct Effects and Role of Testosterone Metabolic Products
Testosterone and its metabolites have varied effects on different body systems, especially during puberty.
