All three shampoos reduced dandruff and hair loss, but ketoconazole and piroctone olamine also made hair thicker.
research Acanthosis nigricans, insulin resistance and cutaneous virilism
Patients with acanthosis nigricans often have insulin resistance and signs of increased male hormones, but treatment targeting these male hormones is generally ineffective.
research 11 Treatment of hirsutism and acne with cyproterone acetate
Cyproterone acetate is effective for treating hirsutism and acne but less so for hair loss, with side effects similar to birth control pills.
research Functional hair follicle regeneration: an updated review
Hair follicle regeneration possible, more research needed.
research Insulin resistance and obesity among infertile women with different polycystic ovary syndrome phenotypes
Women with PCOS are more likely to have insulin resistance and obesity, especially those with the most severe type I PCOS.
research Non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia
Non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia is a common disorder causing symptoms like acne and infertility, and it's managed based on symptoms, not just test results. Treatment can improve fertility and reduce miscarriage risk.
research Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and Its Differential Diagnosis
The document concludes that correct diagnosis and management of PCOS are important, and more research is needed on its risks and treatments.
research PNU 157706, a novel dual type I and II5α-reductase inhibitor
PNU 157706 is a more effective treatment than finasteride for conditions caused by DHT, like enlarged prostate and hair loss.
research Apparent Cortisone Reductase Deficiency: A Rare Cause of Hyperandrogenemia and Hypercortisolism
Cortisone reductase deficiency can cause high androgen and cortisol levels and may be missed in women with similar symptoms.
research 5α-Reductase activity in the human hair follicle concentrates in the dermal papilla
The enzyme that changes testosterone to a stronger form is mostly found in the part of the hair follicle called the dermal papilla.
research Cyproterone acetate-loaded nanostructured lipid carriers: effect of particle size on skin penetration and follicular targeting
Smaller particles of the drug carrier penetrated skin better, with 300 nm size being best for targeting hair follicles.
research The mineralocorticoid receptor as a novel player in skin biology: beyond the renal horizon?
The mineralocorticoid receptor may play a role in skin and hair health and could be a new target for treating related disorders.
research MINOXIDIL: HOPE FOR THE BALD?
Minoxidil helps some bald men, but most lose hair again when stopping.
research Role of insulin resistance and diet in acne
Eating high glycemic foods and drinking milk may worsen acne by increasing insulin and IGF-1 levels.
research Therapeutic Applications of Nanoemulsion Based Drug Delivery Systems: A Review of Patents in Last Two Decades
Nanoemulsion-based drug delivery systems are versatile and have potential for treating various medical conditions and improving vaccines.
research A cell-based system for screening hair growth-promoting agents
Apigenin may help promote hair growth and could treat hair loss.
research Hypertrichosis induced by latanoprost
Latanoprost, a glaucoma medication, caused excessive eyelid hair growth in many patients.
research 5-Alpha reductase deficiency
5-alpha reductase deficiency leads to male sexual development issues and treatments like finasteride help with prostate enlargement and hair loss.
research Male pattern baldness and the risk of prostate cancer
Men who experienced baldness at age 20 may have double the risk of getting prostate cancer.
research Finasteride-associated male infertility
Finasteride may cause male infertility, stopping it can help.
research Comparison of clinical and laboratory characteristics of cases with polycystic ovarian syndrome based on Rotterdam’s criteria and women whose only clinical signs are oligo/anovulation or hirsutism
Women with only irregular periods or excess hair have a better hormone profile than those with full PCOS, but both groups are similar, indicating a need for better PCOS diagnosis methods.
research Animal models of androgen-dependent disorders of the pilosebaceous apparatus
Testosterone causes hair loss in AGA mice, which are good for testing baldness treatments, and both minoxidil and cyproterone acetate can prevent this hair loss.
research More about X‐linked testicular feminization of the mouse as a noninducible (is) mutation of a regulatory locus: 5α‐androstan‐3α‐17ß‐diol as the true inducer of kidney alcohol dehydrogenase and ß‐glucuronidase
A specific metabolite, not a receptor protein, triggers the production of certain kidney enzymes, but this process is disrupted in mice with a mutation causing testicular feminization.
research Circulating androgen regulation by androgen-catabolizing gut bacteria in male mouse gut
Gut bacteria can lower androgen levels in male mice.
research Age-related hair changes in men: Mechanisms and management of alopecia and graying
Men's hair loss is caused by hormones and genes, and can be treated with medication and surgery, while graying is due to aging and has no prevention except dyeing.
research Recent advances in thiasteroids chemistry
New sulfur-containing steroid analogs show promise for more targeted medical treatments.
research New topical antiandrogenic formulations can stimulate hair growth in human bald scalp grafted onto mice
Topical treatments can regrow hair on bald scalps.
research Local and Systemic Reduction by Topical Finasteride or Flutamide of Hamster Flank Organ Size and Enzyme Activity
