Research
150-180 / 1000+ results research Treatment of hirsutism
Hirsutism can be treated with medications or hair removal methods, tailored to each person.
research Elevated fasting insulin is associated with cardiovascular and metabolic risk in women with polycystic ovary syndrome
High fasting insulin levels in women with PCOS are linked to a higher risk of heart and metabolic problems.
research ANDROGENETIC ALOPECIA
Minoxidil was promising for treating male and female pattern baldness in 1994, but more research on genetics and other treatments was needed.
research Androgen Conjugates: Physiology and Clinical Significance
Androgen conjugates might be better indicators of skin sensitivity to hormones in women with excessive hair growth.
research Preparation of 4-aryl-2-trifluoromethylbenzonitrile derivatives as androgen receptor antagonists for topical suppression of sebum production
Scientists made a chemical (compound 4e) that can be applied on skin to reduce oil production, which can help with acne, but it might cause skin sensitivity to light.
research Evaluation of the rodent Hershberger assay using three reference endocrine disrupters (androgen and antiandrogens)
The assay effectively detects hormonal activity of certain chemicals.
research Saccharomyces cerevisiae BLYAS, a New Bioluminescent Bioreporter for Detection of Androgenic Compounds
The engineered yeast strain BLYAS can quickly and sensitively detect androgenic chemicals.
research Hirsuties
Hirsutism in women is often due to hormone sensitivity and has significant psychological effects.
research Male, Female, Other: Transgender and the Impact in Primary Care
Healthcare providers need better education and resources to give competent and sensitive care to transgender patients.
research Androgenic Alopecia: Cross-Talk Between Cell Signal Transduction Pathways
Hair loss in Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is due to altered cell sensitivity to hormones, not increased hormone levels. Hair growth periods shorten over time, causing hair to become thinner and shorter. This is linked to miscommunication between cell pathways in hair follicles. There's also a change in gene expression related to blood vessels and cell growth in balding hair follicles. The exact molecular causes of AGA are still unclear.
research Hirsutism, its pathogenesis
Hirsutism in females is caused by high male hormones or sensitive hair follicles.
research The feasibility of quantitative analysis of androgen metabolism by use of single dermal papillae from human hair follicles
Using single dermal papillae is unreliable for analyzing androgen metabolism in hair follicles.
research Design, synthesis and anti-tumor evaluation of novel thiohydantoin congeners as androgen receptor antagonists with in vivo study.
A new compound, 3a, effectively fights prostate cancer better than finasteride.
research The promoter of an androgen dependent gene in the hamster flank organ
Researchers found a gene in hamsters that responds to male hormones and may be indirectly controlled by them.
research Androgen Therapy in Women: An Endocrine Society Clinical Practice Guideline
The Endocrine Society advised against routine testosterone therapy for women, citing a need for more research on long-term safety and a clear definition of androgen deficiency.
research Simultaneous quantitation of nine hydroxy-androgens and their conjugates in human serum by stable isotope dilution liquid chromatography electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry
A new method accurately measures nine specific hormones in human blood.
research Sex Differences in Opioid-Mediated Effects: Role of Androgens
Men and women react differently to opioids, with hormones potentially influencing these differences.
research Androgen receptor gene polymorphism and biological age markers in men
AR gene variations don't affect aging markers in men.
research [Hirsutism].
Hirsutism, excessive male-pattern hair in women, can be caused by high androgens or skin sensitivity, diagnosed by testosterone levels, and treated with hair removal and hormone therapy.
research [Hirsutism and hypertrichosis in adults: investigations and treatment].
The document concludes that treatment for excessive hair growth depends on the cause, with options including hair removal methods and medications like anti-androgens or insulin-sensitizing drugs.
research Androgens and human hair growth
Androgens can cause hair growth in some areas and hair loss on the scalp.
research The Hair Follicle: A Paradoxical Androgen Target Organ
Androgens can both promote and prevent hair growth due to differences in gene expression in hair follicles.
research Hirsutism, Normal Androgens and Diagnosis of PCOS
Hirsutism can occur in women with PCOS even if their androgen levels are normal, making diagnosis challenging.
research Overexpression of aldo-keto reductase 1C3 (AKR1C3) in LNCaP cells diverts androgen metabolism towards testosterone resulting in resistance to the 5α-reductase inhibitor finasteride
Too much AKR1C3 enzyme causes resistance to finasteride by increasing testosterone.
research Androgen receptor activation integrates complex transcriptional effects in osteoblasts, involving the growth factors TGF-β and IGF-I, and transcription factor C/EBPδ
DHT affects bone growth by altering gene activity in osteoblasts, potentially complicating steroid use.
research The role of androgens in hormone replacement therapy
Androgen therapy can help with symptoms like low libido in women, but more research is needed to understand its long-term safety and effects on health.
research Androgens in women
Androgens play a complex role in skin conditions like acne and hair loss in women, and normal blood levels don't always show true androgen status.
research Decreased Androgen Receptor Gene Methylation in Premature Pubarche: A Novel Pathogenetic Mechanism?
Reduced AR gene methylation may cause early pubic hair growth in girls.
research Polycystic ovary syndrome patients with high BMI tend to have functional disorders of androgen excess: a prospective study
Overweight women with PCOS are more likely to have excess male hormones.
