research 6 Peripheral androgens and the role of androstanediol glucuronide
Androstanediol glucuronide is a reliable marker for hirsutism in women.
research Is 3α, 17β-androstanediol-glucuronide a diagnostic marker in women with androgenic manifestations?
3α, 17β-androstanediol-glucuronide is not a useful marker for androgen excess but may help monitor certain treatments.
research Effect of Leuprolide and Dexamethasone on Hair Growth and Hormone Levels in Hirsute Women: The Relative Importance of the Ovary and the Adrenal in the Pathogenesis of Hirsutism*
The ovary mainly causes high testosterone in PCO, while the adrenal gland is the main source in IH.
research Androgen metabolism in hirsute patients treated with cyproterone acetate
Cyproterone acetate effectively reduced hair growth in hirsute patients by lowering androgen levels and altering androgen metabolism.
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 Metformin influence on hormone levels at birth, in PCOS mothers and their newborns
Metformin taken during pregnancy increases SHBG in newborns but doesn't change other hormone levels in mothers or babies.
research Treatment of hirsutism: comparisons between different antiandrogens with central and peripheral effects
Finasteride, CPA, and flutamide are all equally effective in reducing excessive hair growth in women.
research Alterations in androgen conjugate levels in women and men with alopecia
People with hair loss may have different levels of certain hormones due to changes in hormone processing.
research BIOACTIVE AND PERIPHERAL ANDROGENS IN PREPUBERTAL SIMPLE HYPERTRICHOSIS
Girls with prepubertal simple hypertrichosis have higher dihydrotestosterone (DHT) levels.
research Hirsutism and Virilization in the Female
The chapter explains the causes of excessive hair growth and masculinization in women and how to measure hormone levels related to these conditions.
research Serum 3α-androstanediol-glucuronide is decreased in nonhirsute women with acne vulgaris
Women with acne have lower levels of a specific hormone marker than women without acne.
research In vivo and in vitro exposure to free fatty acids induce increased androgen production in animal models: a potential pathogenic factor of the polycystic ovary syndrome
Free fatty acids may increase androgen production, potentially contributing to polycystic ovary syndrome.
research Effects of Finasteride (MK-906), a 5α-Reductase Inhibitor, on Circulating Androgens in Male Volunteers*
Finasteride safely lowers DHT levels without affecting testosterone.
research Testosterone and doping control
The document concludes that better biomarkers are needed to detect long-term oral testosterone use in athletes.
research Diagnosis of hyperandrogenism: Biochemical criteria
The document concludes that accurate measurement of serum androgens is crucial for diagnosing hyperandrogenism.
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 Clinical relevance of testosterone and dihydrotestosterone metabolism in women
Testosterone and dihydrotestosterone play a role in women's health issues like excess hair and baldness, and treatments blocking these hormones may help.
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 Pharmacokinetics and Bioconversion of Dehydroepiandrosterone after Application of Dexamethasone in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Women with PCOS have higher 5alpha-reductase activity, affecting steroid levels.
research Pharmakokinetik und Biokonversion von Dehydroepiandrosteron nach Dexamethason-Vorbehandlung bei Frauen mit dem Syndrom der polyzystischen Ovarien
Women with PCOS have higher 5alpha-reductase activity, affecting steroid levels.
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 Sebocytes are the Key Regulators of Androgen Homeostasis in Human Skin
Sebocytes play a key role in controlling androgen levels in human skin.
research Androgen Dependence of Hirsutism, Acne, and Alopecia in Women
Hirsutism is more linked to high androgen levels than acne or hair loss, and a mix of hormonal tests is best for diagnosis; certain treatments can reduce symptoms.
research The SAHA Syndrome
SAHA syndrome is a condition in women involving skin and hair issues, often related to hormonal imbalances, and is treated based on the underlying cause.
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 Detection of urine metabolites in polycystic ovary syndrome by UPLC triple-TOF-MS
Researchers found potential urine markers for polycystic ovary syndrome, including testosterone-glucuronide and 11α-hydroxyprogesterone, which may help diagnose the condition.
research Testosterone Metabolism in Human Skin Cells in vitro and Its Interaction with Estradiol and Dutasteride
Different skin cells process testosterone differently, and certain drugs can change this process, possibly helping treat acne and hair loss.
research Androgens in Women – Critical Evaluation of the Methods for Their Determination in Diagnostics of Endocrine Disorders
The conclusion is that standardizing testosterone measurement methods is essential for better diagnosis accuracy in women.
research Adrenal steroid precursors exert potent androgenic action in the hamster sebaceous glands of flank organs and ears.
