research Anti-Androgen Therapy in Female Adult Acne
Anti-androgens are safe and effective for treating moderate to severe adult female acne.
research PLASMA C19 STEROID SULPHATE LEVELS AND INDICES OF ANDROGEN BIOAVAILABILITY IN FEMALE PATTERN ANDROGENIC ALOPECIA
Women with female pattern hair loss have higher levels of certain androgens, suggesting increased androgen exposure to hair follicles.
research Controversies Regarding Transdermal Androgen Therapy in Postmenopausal Women
Testosterone therapy may slightly improve sexual function in postmenopausal women, but its long-term safety is unknown.
research Identification of Androgen-Inducible TGF-β1 Derived from Dermal Papilla Cells as a Key Mediator in Androgenetic Alopecia
TGF-β1 from dermal papilla cells suppresses hair growth, and targeting it may help treat androgenetic alopecia.
research Free androgen index (FAI)’s relations with oxidative stress and insulin resistance in polycystic ovary syndrome
Oxidative stress, not insulin resistance, is significantly related to free androgen index in PCOS.
research Anti-Androgen Treatment of Hirsute Women: A Study on Stress Responses

research Local synthesis and function of neuro-estrogen and neuro-androgen: impact on the hippocampus-related cognition and neuronal plasticity
Neurosteroids like neuro-estrogen and neuro-androgen are crucial for brain function and can improve cognition and protect against aging-related decline.
research Markers of peripheral androgen action in vivo and in vitro
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is crucial for conditions like male-pattern baldness and acne, and measuring a byproduct, androstanediol glucuronide, is a better way to assess DHT's effects than DHT blood levels.
research Safety aspects of androgen treatment with 5α-dihydrotestosterone
DHT is a strong androgen that may pose less risk to the prostate compared to testosterone.
research Assessment of diagnostic competence of plasmatic androgens on polycystic ovary syndrome based on receiver operator characteristic curves
Free Testosterone Index, bioavailable testosterone, and androstenedione are the most accurate for diagnosing excess male hormones in PCOS.
research Blockade of Androgen Markers Using a Novel Betasitosterol, Thioctic Acid and Carnitine-containing Compound in Prostate and Hair Follicle Cell-based Assays
The new compound was more effective than finasteride in reducing markers of hair loss and prostate issues in cell tests.
research Effect of inhibiting prolactin secretion on secondary hair follicle development in cashmere goats
Inhibiting prolactin reduces hair follicle activation in cashmere goats.
research Assessment of Cardiovascular Risk and Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease in Women with the Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: A Consensus Statement by the Androgen Excess and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (AE-PCOS) Society
Women with PCOS should be screened for heart disease risk and manage their health to prevent it.
research The Effect of Finasteride on the Secretion of Testosterone, DHT, LH, FSH and Tissue Factors in the Testis of NMRI Mice:
Finasteride reduces sperm count and quality and alters hormone levels in mice.
research Is prostate-specific antigen a potential new marker of androgen excess in polycystic ovary syndrome?
Prostate-specific antigen may be a new marker for excess male hormones in women with polycystic ovary syndrome.
research Anti-Müllerian hormone gene polymorphism is associated with androgen levels in Chinese polycystic ovary syndrome patients with insulin resistance
Certain gene variations are linked to higher male hormone levels in Chinese women with PCOS and insulin resistance.
research Minoxidil and male-pattern alopecia: a potential role for a local regulator of sebum secretion with vasoconstrictive effects?
Minoxidil, a common hair loss treatment, might work by counteracting a hormone that reduces hair growth and promotes hair loss.
research Mechanisms of Puerariae Lobatae Radix in regulating sebaceous gland secretion: insights from network pharmacology and experimental validation
Puerariae Lobatae Radix can reduce sebaceous gland size and secretion, potentially treating related skin conditions.
research Inhibition of 5α-Reductase, IL-6 Secretion, and Oxidation Process of Equisetum debile Roxb. ex Vaucher Extract as Functional Food and Nutraceuticals Ingredients

research Intractable Diffuse Alopecia Caused by Multifactorial Side-Effects in Treatment of Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia: Connection to Iatrogenic Failure of Estrogen Secretion
The patient's long-term hair loss was caused by leukemia treatments and low estrogen levels, worsened by her genetic tendency for hair loss.
research Supplementary Material for: Dexamethasone, a synthetic glucocorticoid, induces the activity of androgen receptor in human dermal papilla cells
Dexamethasone increases androgen receptor activity in scalp cells, which might explain stress-related hair loss.
