The research found that measuring androgens in urine can give extra information about body metabolism and is linked to androgen levels in the blood, especially in young girls.
research Prolonged treatment with finasteride (a 5α-reductase inhibitor) does not affect bone density and metabolism
Long-term finasteride use doesn't change bone density or metabolism.
research Clinical, hormonal and metabolic parameters in women with PCOS with different combined oral contraceptives (containing chlormadinone acetate versus drospirenone)
Both types of oral contraceptives improved symptoms and hormone levels in women with PCOS.
research Modification of testosterone levels with Piptadeniastrum africanum and Cordia plathytyrsa may influence metabolic parameters in Wistar rats
Piptadeniastrum africanum and Cordia plathytyrsa can increase testosterone without major metabolic changes, but may affect triglycerides and creatinine.
research Cepharanthine, a regulator of keap1-Nrf2, inhibits gastric cancer growth through oxidative stress and energy metabolism pathway
Cepharanthine may help treat gastric cancer by causing cancer cell death and affecting energy use.
research A Large Benign Adrenocortical Adenoma Cosecreting Testosterone and Cortisol
A woman's rare benign tumor that released both cortisol and testosterone was successfully removed, improving her health.
research Generalised Glucocorticoid Resistance
Generalized glucocorticoid resistance causes hormone imbalances and varied symptoms due to gene mutations.
research Longitudinal association between saliva and hair cortisol concentration: A systematic comparison
Hair cortisol is a reliable marker of long-term cortisol levels and is linked to daytime saliva cortisol but not morning levels.
research Developmental trajectory of hair cortisol concentrations across childhood
Hair cortisol levels decrease as children age, stabilizing around age 4.
research Radiolabel validation of cortisol in the hair of rhesus monkeys
Hair cortisol can indicate long-term stress levels, but hair growth rate differences may affect accuracy.
research An Investigation of Hair Cortisol Concentration across Body Sites and within Hair shaft
Forearm hair has more cortisol than lower leg hair.
research Measurement of steroid hormones by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry with small amounts of hair
A new method accurately measures steroid hormones in a few hair strands and could help study chronic stress and hair loss.
research Two diagnoses become one? Rare case report of anorexia nervosa and Cushing’s syndrome
A woman with anorexia and Cushing's syndrome improved after tumor removal, highlighting the need to consider hormonal issues in psychiatric conditions.
research Hair Cortisol Is a Potential Indicator of Adrenal Insufficiency in Individuals with Sickle Cell Disease
Hair cortisol may help identify adrenal insufficiency in sickle cell disease patients.
research Is dehydroepiandrosterone a hormone?
Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is a prohormone important for producing sex steroids and has potential health benefits.
research Hair Analysis Provides a Historical Record of Cortisol Levels in Cushing's Syndrome
Hair analysis can track past cortisol levels in Cushing's Syndrome patients.
research MENSTRUAL DISORDERS IN ADOLESCENTS
The document concludes that early recognition and treatment of PCOS in adolescents is crucial for managing symptoms and long-term health risks.
research Influence of external factors on hair cortisol concentrations
External factors can significantly affect hair cortisol levels, so it's not always a reliable stress marker.
research Recent advances in the molecular mechanisms determining tissue sensitivity to glucocorticoids: novel mutations, circadian rhythm and ligand-induced repression of the human glucocorticoid receptor
New findings explain how genetic changes, body clocks, and certain molecules affect tissue response to stress hormones.
research Neuroimmunoregulation of Androgens in the Adrenal Gland and the Skin
Cytokines and neuropeptides are key in controlling androgen levels, affecting skin and hair conditions.
