research Rooster feathering, androgenic alopecia, and hormone-dependent tumor growth: What is in common?
Sex hormones affect hair and feather growth and may help manage alopecia and hormone-dependent cancers.
research Evaluating the diagnostic accuracy of androgen measurement in polycystic ovary syndrome: a systematic review and diagnostic meta-analysis to inform evidence-based guidelines
Androgen measurement helps diagnose PCOS, but accuracy varies, needing standard methods.
research Pharmacokinetic parameters and mechanisms of inhibition of rat type 1 and 2 steroid 5α-reductases: determinants for different in vivo activities of GI198745 and finasteride in the rat 3 3Abbreviations: r5AR1, rat 5α-reductase 1; r5AR2, rat 5α-reductase 2; and DHT, dihydrotestosterone.
GI198745 is more potent and longer-lasting than finasteride, potentially better for treating hair loss.
research Consequences of steroid-5α-reductase deficiency and inhibition in vertebrates
Lack or blocking of SRD5a, a key component in hormone creation, can lead to conditions like pseudohermaphrodism and affect hair growth, bone mass, muscle strength, and reproductive health. More research is needed on its regulation from fertilization to adulthood.
research Estrogen-Dependent Ontogeny of Sex Differences in Somatostatin Neurons of the Hypothalamic Periventricular Nucleus*
Male rats have more somatostatin neurons than females due to testosterone converting to estrogen during early development.
research Adipocyte-myofibroblast transition as a possible pathophysiological step in androgenetic alopecia
AMT may cause hair loss and changing dWAT activity could help treat it.
research The new paradigm for androgenetic alopecia and plant-based folk remedies: 5α-reductase inhibition, reversal of secondary microinflammation and improving insulin resistance
Plant-based remedies may treat hair loss by reducing inflammation and improving insulin resistance.
research An intergenerational androgenic mechanism of female intrasexual competition in the cooperatively breeding meerkat
Androgens in female meerkats influence aggression and dominance, affecting social dynamics and offspring behavior.
research Restoration of Spermatogenesis and Male Fertility Using an Androgen Receptor Transgene
Scientists restored fertility in male mice lacking a key fertility gene by using a modified gene.
research 25 years of ERβ: a personal journey
ERβ has potential in treating prostate cancer and neurodegenerative diseases, but human studies are needed before clinical use.
research Immunological aspects and gender bias during respiratory viral infections including novel Coronavirus disease‐19 (COVID‐19): A scoping review
Men are more likely to have severe respiratory viral infections like COVID-19 due to hormonal and genetic differences, while women generally have stronger immune responses.
research Experimental and early investigational drugs for androgenetic alopecia
New hair loss treatments may include topical medications, injections, and improved transplant methods.
research Acne: Diet and acnegenesis
Eating dairy and high glycemic foods may increase the risk of acne.
research The effects of oestrogens on linear bone growth
Estrogens are key for bone growth spurts in both boys and girls and affect growth into adulthood.
research Androgen Levels and Body Size Are Associated with Directional as Well as Fluctuating Asymmetry Patterns in Adult !Kung San and Kavango Males from Northern Namibia
Higher androgen levels are linked to less asymmetry in !Kung San males.
research A controlled study of the effects of RU58841, a non-steroidal antiandrogen, on human hair production by balding scalp grafts maintained on testosterone-conditioned nude mice
RU58841 significantly increases hair growth rate and initiates more hair cycles, but doesn't affect hair thickness, suggesting it could be a new treatment for baldness.
research A patient with combined polycystic ovary syndrome and autoimmune polyglandular syndrome type 2
A woman was the first known case to have both polycystic ovary syndrome and autoimmune polyglandular syndrome type 2, suggesting a need to check for both conditions in similar patients.
research Androgenetic alopecia and hair growth promotion state of the art: Present and future
Current research explores hair growth drugs, while future research aims for personalized treatments.
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 Relation of urinary stone disease with androgenetic alopecia and serum testosterone levels
Balding and low testosterone increase risk of urinary stones.
research What does the research say about androgen use and cerebrovascular events?
Androgen use may increase the risk of stroke, but more research is needed.
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 5α-reductase inhibitors
5α-reductase inhibitors help treat disorders caused by DHT and have potential for future therapies.
research Associations between sun sensitive pigmentary genes and serum prostate specific antigen levels
Men with less sun-sensitive skin have lower PSA levels, while men with more sun-sensitive skin have higher PSA levels.
research Steroid Hormones
Steroid hormones are crucial for body functions and have various medical uses, but their misuse can lead to dependence.
research 5α-Reductase Inhibitors – The Finasteride Story
Finasteride safely treats enlarged prostate and male-pattern baldness.
research Investigational medications in the treatment of alopecia
