660-690 / 1000+ results research Rapid nongenomic modulation by neurosteroids of dendritic spines in the hippocampus: Androgen, oestrogen and corticosteroid
Sex and stress steroids quickly change brain cell structures in the hippocampus.
research Depo-Provera: an injectable contraceptive.
Depo-Provera effectively prevents pregnancy but has many side effects and safety concerns, leading to its ban in the U.S.
research ANTIANDROGEN THERAPY IN DERMATOLOGY
Antiandrogens can help treat skin conditions like acne and excessive hair in women when used carefully.
research [Anti-androgens. Their use in dermatology].
Cyproterone acetate with ethynyl estradiol significantly improved acne and seborrhea in women, but was less effective for hair loss and excessive hair growth.
research Pharmacological Options for Treatment of Hyperandrogenic Disorders
Different drugs can treat high male hormone levels in women, but they have various effects and some may harm a fetus.
research Anabolic-androgenic steroids. Mechanism of action and clinical effects
Anabolic-androgenic steroids are dangerous and educating people about their risks is essential.
research 4 Anti-androgens in gynaecological practice
Cyproterone acetate is effective for treating hirsutism and acne in women by blocking androgens in the skin and also works as a contraceptive.
research Distinctive features of steroid hormone metabolism in female patients with androgenic alopecia
Women with hair thinning have disrupted steroid hormone levels, but this doesn't often show as other health issues. More research is needed on hormone balance in this condition.
research New Nonsteroidal Molecules as Blockers of the Steroidogenic Pathway
New nonsteroidal molecules can potentially increase dihydrotestosterone in neurons by blocking certain enzymes, without affecting prostate and seminal vesicle weight.
research 42227 Efficacy and Predictive Factors of Systemic Corticosteroid in Alopecia Areata: Reappraisal of Oral Methylprednisolone Tapering Treatment
Methylprednisolone treatment helps most alopecia areata patients, but young age, extensive hair loss, and low vitamin D can affect results.
research Human androgenic steroids affect growth of dermatophytes in vitro
Androgenic steroids can slow down or stop the growth of certain skin fungi.
research An unusual circulating steroid profile in a virilized postmenopausal woman
A 68-year-old woman developed male traits due to a tumor in her ovary, which was removed, returning her hormone levels to normal.
research Novel aldo-keto reductase 1C3 inhibitor affects androgen metabolism but not ovarian function in healthy women: a phase 1 study
The inhibitor affects androgen metabolism but not ovarian function.
research Innovative Reports on the Effects of Anabolic Androgenic Steroid Abuse—How to Lose Your Mind for the Love of Sport
Abusing steroids can damage your heart, muscles, reproductive system, liver, skin, and brain, and may increase the risk of Alzheimer's disease.
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 ANABOLIC ANDROGENIC STEROID USE DISORDER: A PUBLIC HEALTH ISSUE
Anabolic steroid misuse is a major health issue causing severe health problems and requires better awareness and monitoring.
research Comparison of a gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist and a low dose oral contraceptive given alone or together in the treatment of hirsutism.
Combining a GnRH agonist with a low-dose oral contraceptive is more effective and safer for treating hirsutism than using either alone.
research Neurosteroid Synthesis-Mediated Regulation of GABAAReceptors: Relevance to the Ovarian Cycle and Stress
Ovarian and stress hormones can change GABA A receptors through neurosteroids.
research The influence of selected steroid hormones on the physicochemical behaviour of DPPC liposomes
Steroid hormones change the size, charge, and stability of DPPC liposomes.
research The Physiological Effects of Anabolic Steroids on the Human Body
Abusing anabolic steroids can cause serious health problems despite short-term muscle gains.
