research Contrast enhanced phototrichogram pinpoints scalp hair changes in androgen sensitive areas of male androgenetic alopecia
CE-PTG detects early hair follicle issues in balding areas, helping measure male hair loss.
research Normalized androgen ratio: its application to clinical dermatology
The normalized androgen ratio can help manage conditions with excess androgen activity in women.
research Androgen Receptor–Mediated Paracrine Signaling Induces Regression of Blood Vessels in the Dermal Papilla in Androgenetic Alopecia
Male pattern baldness is linked to higher levels of a certain receptor in the scalp, which leads to the shrinking of blood vessels and hair loss. Early treatment targeting this receptor could be more effective.
research Topical antiandrogens. What use in dermatology?
Skin creams that block male hormones may help with hair growth, hair loss, and acne.
research Hair Loss: A Harbinger of the Morbidities to Come!
Early hair loss in men and women may indicate a higher risk of heart disease and metabolic problems.
research Hair Restoration
Hair loss is mainly caused by a testosterone byproduct, and hair restoration surgery uses hair from the back and sides of the scalp.
research Message of protease nexin-1 is expressed in human dermal papilla cells and is affected by androgen
Protease Nexin-1 is found in human hair growth cells and is affected by male hormones.
research A New Case of Isolated Trichothiodystrophy
A rare case of isolated trichothiodystrophy was identified, marked by brittle hair with low sulfur content.
research Increased DHT levels in androgenic alopecia have been selected for to protect men from prostate cancer
Higher DHT in male baldness may protect against prostate cancer.
research Diffuse female hair loss: are androgens necessary?
Female hair loss can occur without androgens.
research Relationship of androgens to female hirsutism and infertility.
High androgen levels often cause female hirsutism and infertility.
research Researchers Link Early Hair Loss and Prostate Cancer
Early hair loss may increase the risk of prostate cancer, especially in African American men and those with frontal baldness.
research An Atlas of Hair Pathology—with Clinical CorrelationsSperlingLeonard C158 pp Price £66.99 ISBN 1-84214-203-8 (h/b) London: Parthenon, 2003
The book is a detailed guide on hair diseases and diagnosis, useful for skin disease experts.
research Alterations in androgen conjugate levels in women and men with alopecia
Women with hair loss have higher androgen levels, while men with early balding have altered androgen ratios.
research Isolation of intermediate filament assemblies from human hair follicles.
Researchers isolated and identified structural components of human hair follicles, providing a model for studying hair formation.
research Anti-androgenic potential of the fruit extracts of certain Egyptian Sabal species and their genetic variability studies: a metabolomic-molecular modeling approach
Certain Egyptian Sabal fruit extracts may help treat anti-androgenic diseases like benign prostatic hyperplasia.
research Female Androgenic Alopecia
Women with low SHBG levels and a high 3a-diol G to SHBG ratio are likely to experience female pattern baldness, possibly due to a slight excess of androgens affecting sensitive hair bulbs.
research Large-scale genome-wide meta-analysis of polycystic ovary syndrome suggests shared genetic architecture for different diagnosis criteria
The research found that PCOS has common genetic factors regardless of how it is diagnosed and is linked to metabolic and reproductive issues.
research Prevalence of Type II diabetes mellitus and insulin resistance in parents of women with polycystic ovary syndrome
Parents of women with PCOS have a higher risk of Type II diabetes and insulin resistance, especially fathers.
research Bioengineering the Hair Follicle
Bioengineering can potentially treat hair loss by regenerating hair follicles and cloning hair, but the process is complex and needs more research.
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 Pathogenesis and causes of hirsutism
Hirsutism is mainly caused by high androgen levels or sensitivity, with PCOS being the most common cause.
research Faculty Opinions recommendation of Large-scale genome-wide meta-analysis of polycystic ovary syndrome suggests shared genetic architecture for different diagnosis criteria.
PCOS shares similar genetic traits across different diagnosis criteria and is linked to other health conditions.
research MON-323 Metastatic Adrenocortical Carcinoma Presenting with Mixed Cushing's and Virilization Syndrome along with Bilateral Pulmonary Emboli
Rapid virilization should be checked for possible ovarian or adrenal cancer.
research News in brief
Researchers found potential new targets for treating melanoma and nonmelanoma skin cancers, and identified a possible cause and treatment for male pattern baldness and eczema.
research Androstenedione
Androstenedione, a hormone supplement, doesn't improve muscle or performance and can cause harmful side effects.
research Topical minoxidil in male pattern baldness: Effects of discontinuation of treatment
Stopping minoxidil treatment resumes balding; continuous use needed for results.
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 Hirsutism, its pathogenesis
Hirsutism in females is caused by high male hormones or sensitive hair follicles.
