research Comparison of Diane 35 and Diane 35 plus finasteride in the treatment of hirsutism
Diane 35 plus finasteride is more effective in reducing hair growth and androgen levels, but may decrease libido.
research The effect of spironolactone on genital skin 5α-reductase activity
Spironolactone reduces the enzyme activity that converts testosterone to DHT, helping treat excessive hair growth in women.
research A combined regimen of cyproterone acetate and testosterone enanthate as a potentially highly effective male contraceptive.
The combination of cyproterone acetate and testosterone enanthate is highly effective in preventing sperm production and could be a good reversible male contraceptive.
research Defining the Localization and Molecular Characteristic of Minor Salivary Gland Label-Retaining Cells
The study found stem cells in minor salivary glands that can differentiate and are involved in tumor formation when exposed to tobacco.
research Androgen regulation of a specific gene in hamster flank organs
Male hormones control a specific gene in hamster skin, with different hormones having varying effects.
research Androgen receptor activation integrates complex transcriptional effects in osteoblasts, involving the growth factors TGF-β and IGF-I, and transcription factor C/EBPδ
DHT affects bone growth by altering gene activity in osteoblasts, potentially complicating steroid use.
research Chapter 20. Pathogenesis and Treatment of Alopecias
Hair loss from alopecia areata and androgenetic alopecia can be treated, but more effective and safer treatments are needed.
research Cyclical dermal micro-niche switching governs the morphological infradian rhythm of mouse zigzag hair
Mouse zigzag hair bends form due to a 3-day cycle of changes in hair progenitors and their environment.
research Cuantificación, caracterización química y biológica del contenido saponósido de Sida cordifolia L. (escobilla)
Sida cordifolia is rich in saponins with antioxidant and antifungal properties.
research Phosphatidylinositol‐specific phospholipase C2 functions in auxin‐modulated root development
A protein called PLC2 is important for the growth and development of plant roots influenced by auxin.
research What should it take to describe a substance or product as 'sperm-safe'
Products should be called 'sperm-safe' only after thorough, well-designed tests.
research Inhibition of the Androgen Receptor by Antisense Oligonucleotides Regulates the Biological Activity of Androgens in SZ95 Sebocytes
Blocking the androgen receptor in skin cells reduces their growth response to male hormones, suggesting a possible treatment for skin conditions linked to androgens.
research Non-clinical safety evaluation and risk assessment to human of aleglitazar, a dual PPAR α/γ agonist, and its major human metabolite
Aleglitazar and its major metabolite are safe enough to proceed to Phase 3 clinical trials.
research The Androgen Excess and PCOS Society criteria for the polycystic ovary syndrome: the complete task force report
The report concludes that PCOS is mainly a condition of excess male hormones and its definition may change as new information is discovered.
research Polycystic ovary syndrome
PCOS is a complex condition with major health impacts, needing more research for better diagnosis and treatment.
research Lignans and Neolignans: Plant secondary metabolites as a reservoir of biologically active substances
Lignans and neolignans from plants may help protect against various health issues, including cancer and heart disease.
research Influence of spironolactone treatment on endothelial function in non-obese women with polycystic ovary syndrome
Spironolactone improved blood vessel function and cholesterol levels in non-obese women with PCOS.
research Female Pattern Hair Loss and Androgen Excess: A Report From the Multidisciplinary Androgen Excess and PCOS Committee
Use "female pattern hair loss" term, assess androgen excess, treat with minoxidil and other medications if needed.
research 5α-Reduced glucocorticoids: a story of natural selection
Natural 5α-reduced glucocorticoids might be anti-inflammatory with fewer side effects than current options.
research Gene expression of type 2 17β hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase in scalp hairs of hirsute women
Hirsute women have lower type 2 17β-HSD enzyme levels, which improve with treatment.
research Recent discoveries and developments of androgen receptor based therapy for prostate cancer
New treatments for prostate cancer are less toxic and show promise, but more research is needed to enhance their effectiveness and reduce side effects.
research Trends in the Development of New Drugs for Treatment of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia
New treatments for enlarged prostate are being developed to be more effective and have fewer side effects.
research Androgenic Alopecia
The document concludes that treating female hair loss should target reducing excess androgen and blocking its effects on hair follicles, with the best treatments being hormonal therapy, adrenal suppression, and topical minoxidil.
research Androgenetic Alopecia
Male pattern baldness may be caused by factors like poor blood circulation, scalp tension, stress, and hormonal imbalances, but the exact causes are still unclear.
research Effect of metformin on clinical and biochemical hyperandrogenism in adolescent girls with type 1 diabetes
