research Hirsutism: Evaluation and treatment
Excessive hair growth can be assessed by history, exam, and blood tests, and treated with medication like dexamethasone, birth control pills, and spironolactone.
research Finasteride versus cyproterone acetate-estrogen regimens in the treatment of hirsutism
Finasteride and CPA-EE2 equally reduce hirsutism, but affect hormone levels differently.
research What may be the markers of the male equivalent of polycystic ovary syndrome?
Some men with early hair loss may have a condition similar to PCOS in women.
research Tissue insulin sensitivity and body weight in polycystic ovary syndrome
Lean and obese women with PCOS have similar levels of insulin resistance, indicating it's a core aspect of the condition.
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 7 Regulation of androgen receptor and 5α-reductase in the skin of normal and hirsute women
The exact cause of increased 5α-reductase activity leading to hirsutism in women is still unknown.
research Expression of retinoid nuclear receptor superfamily members in human hair follicles and its implication in hair growth.
RXR agonists may promote hair growth in humans.
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 Carriers of 21-Hydroxylase Deficiency Are Not at Increased Risk for Hyperandrogenism*
People who carry the 21-Hydroxylase Deficiency gene are not more likely to have excessive male hormone levels.
research Hormonal Profile of Men with Premature Balding
Men with early balding often have hormone levels similar to women with polycystic ovary syndrome.
research Identification and dissection of an enhancer controlling epithelial gene expression in skin
A specific DNA region controls skin cell gene expression by working with certain proteins.
research Does a male polycystic ovarian syndrome equivalent exist?
Early onset baldness in men may indicate a condition similar to PCOS, linked to heart disease, diabetes, and prostate issues.
research Polycystic ovary syndrome is associated with atherogenic changes in lipoprotein particle number and size independent of body weight
Women with PCOS have unhealthy changes in their cholesterol particles that are not related to their body weight.
research Sex steroid hormones are associated with mortality in COVID-19 patients
Low testosterone and SHBG levels are linked to higher COVID-19 death rates.
research Changes of androgens levels in menopausal women
Menopausal women have higher androgen levels, which can cause symptoms like facial hair growth and low sexual desire.
research Treatment of alopecia areata: “What is new on the horizon?”
New treatments for alopecia areata may target specific immune cells and pathways involved in hair loss.
research The Treatment of Hyperandrogenism with Oral Contraceptives
Birth control pills are effective for treating women with too much male hormone.
research Alopecia androgénica masculina y factores de riesgo cardiovascular: estudio de casos y controles
Men with early-onset baldness have a higher chance of heart disease and clogged arteries.
research The hyperandrogenic-insulin-resistant acanthosis nigricans syndrome: therapeutic response
Most patients improved with oral contraceptives, but some needed additional treatment.
research Managing Cutaneous Manifestations of Hyperandrogenic Disorders
Birth control pills help treat skin and hair growth problems linked to high male hormone levels.
research Relapse of hirsutism following long‐term successful treatment with oestrogen–progestogen combination
Most patients experienced hirsutism again after stopping hormone treatment, indicating long-term treatment is needed to maintain results.
research Human umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cells engineered to overexpress growth factors accelerate outcomes in hair growth
Modified stem cells from umbilical cord blood can make hair grow faster.
research Contraceptive use in acne
Hormonal contraceptives can help treat acne by affecting sebum production and androgen levels.
research Identification of Telogen Markers Underscores that Telogen Is Far from a Quiescent Hair Cycle Phase
Telogen is an active phase with important biological processes, not a resting phase.
research The Effect of a Very-Low-Calorie Diet (VLCD) vs. a Moderate Energy Deficit Diet in Obese Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)—A Randomised Controlled Trial
A very-low-calorie diet led to more weight loss and health improvements in obese women with PCOS than a moderate energy deficit diet.
research Case Series: Gene Expression Analysis in Canine Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada/Uveodermatologic Syndrome and Vitiligo Reveals Conserved Immunopathogenesis Pathways Between Dog and Human Autoimmune Pigmentary Disorders
The immune processes causing VKH and vitiligo are similar in dogs and humans.
research Functionally enhanced placenta-derived mesenchymal stem cells inhibit adipogenesis in orbital fibroblasts with Graves’ ophthalmopathy
Enhanced stem cells from the placenta can help treat Graves' eye disease by stopping fat cell growth.
research Androgens modulate keratinocyte differentiation indirectly through enhancing growth factor production from dermal fibroblasts
