research IMPACT OF MERCURY ON SEX HORMONES (LITERATURE REVIEW)
Mercury can disrupt sex hormones and cause reproductive issues.
research Genetics and Pathophysiology of Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia
The document concludes that patient outcomes for Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia are often not ideal because of poor management and a need for better diagnosis and treatment methods.
research Congenital adrenal hyperplasia
The document concludes that diagnosing and treating Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia is complex and requires a team approach due to its effects on the skin and other symptoms.
research Immunoregulatory mechanisms and stress hormones in psoriasis (part 1)
Stress hormones like cortisol may trigger psoriasis flare-ups.
research Analysis of hair steroid hormone concentrations at different parts of the head by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry
Hormone levels in hair vary across the head, with the highest concentration of a key hormone linked to hair loss at the top.
research Hyposecretion of the adrenal androgen dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S) in the majority of the alopecia areata patients: Is it a primitive and pathogenic perturbation of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis?
Low DHEA-S levels might be linked to alopecia areata and could be a potential treatment target.
research Plasma β‐Endorphin Concentrations During Natural and Artificially Induced Winter Hair Growth in Mink (Mustela vison)
Melatonin and cortisol affect mink winter hair growth, but β-endorphin levels do not.
research Generalised Glucocorticoid Resistance
Generalized glucocorticoid resistance causes hormone imbalances and varied symptoms due to gene mutations.
research Increasing GSH-Px Activity and Activating Wnt Pathway Promote Fine Wool Growth in FGF5-Edited Sheep
Editing the FGF5 gene in sheep increases fine wool growth.
research SAT320 Cyclic Cushing Syndrome Caused By An ACTH-Producing Pheochromocytoma
A woman's cyclic Cushing syndrome was caused by a tumor in her adrenal gland that produced ACTH.
research Perceived predation risk predicts glucocorticoid hormones, but not reproductive success in a colonial rodent
Prairie dogs with fewer neighbors are more stressed but their number of babies isn't affected.
research Androgen Receptors and Androgen-Dependent Initiation of Protein Synthesis in the Prostate
Prostate cells have proteins that bind to specific hormones, which can increase protein production when activated by these hormones.
research Pseudo-Cushing Syndrome
Pseudo-Cushing's symptoms disappear once the underlying issue is resolved.
research Adult Onset Isolated Hypogonadotropic Hypogonadism- a Cause of Secondary Amenorrhea
A 23-year-old woman's missed periods were caused by a rare genetic disorder treated with hormone patches.
research Epidermal growth factor, but not cortisol, suppresses fibre growth in cultured follicles
Epidermal growth factor reduces hair growth, but cortisol does not.
research Possible relationships between the physical conditions of cattle and the occurrence of structural modifications of their coat hair
Vitamin A deficiency changes cattle hair structure, while pregnancy may improve it, suggesting hair can indicate cattle health.
research Regional difference in sebum production by androgen susceptibility in human facial skin
The T-zone on the face has more androgen receptors and produces more oil than the U-zone.
research The Effect of Finasteride on Serum Cortisol and testosterone Levels in Rats
Finasteride lowers cortisol and raises testosterone levels in rats.
research Detection of cortisol, estradiol, and testosterone in archaeological human hair from the Dakhleh Oasis, Egypt
Ancient hair can preserve hormones, revealing health and fertility insights.
research Targeting the pre-receptor metabolism of cortisol as a novel therapy in obesity and diabetes
Blocking a specific enzyme might help treat obesity and diabetes, but more research is needed to ensure it's safe.
research Hair sampling for cortisol analysis with mother-toddler dyads living in low-income homes
Collecting hair for cortisol analysis is possible in low-income mother-toddler pairs.
research The impact of COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown on chronic stress assessed by hair cortisol analysis via LC-MS/MS
Chronic stress increased after lockdown, especially in young adults and females.
research Cortisol levels in blood and hair of unanesthetized grizzly bears (Ursus arctos) following intravenous cosyntropin injection
Injecting cosyntropin into grizzly bears increases blood cortisol but doesn't change hair cortisol levels.
research Gonadal Sex Steroids: Production, Action and Interactions in Mammals
The document concludes that sex hormones are crucial for mammalian reproduction, health, and behavior, and require more research for therapeutic use.
research Testosterone- and Cortisol-Secreting Adrenocortical Oncocytoma: An Unusual Cause of Hirsutism
A woman's excessive hair growth was caused by a rare benign tumor in her adrenal gland, which was successfully removed.
research Can Extra Adrenal Cortisol Secretion Occur in an Adrenalectomized Patient?
A patient produced cortisol after adrenalectomy, possibly due to residual tissue or other body parts making steroids.
research Assessment of Thyroid Dysfunction and Cortisol Levels in Patients with Alopecia Areata
Alopecia areata patients may have higher T3 and cortisol levels, suggesting a hormonal link.
research 46,XY DSD due to impaired androgen production
Impaired androgen production in 46,XY DSDs causes ambiguous genitalia and requires long-term care.
research Hair Cortisol: A Biomarker of Chronic Stress in Animals and its Association with Reproduction
High levels of cortisol in hair show long-term stress which can lower fertility in animals.
