research Lifestyle changes in women with polycystic ovary syndrome
Lifestyle changes can improve body composition, excess male hormone levels, and insulin resistance in women with PCOS.
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 Managing Cutaneous Manifestations of Hyperandrogenic Disorders
Birth control pills help treat skin and hair growth problems linked to high male hormone levels.
research Prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in Slovak women with polycystic ovary syndrome and its relation to metabolic and reproductive abnormalities
Vitamin D deficiency is common in women with PCOS and linked to some metabolic problems, but not the main cause of their metabolic issues.
research Mechanism of action of bolandiol (19-nortestosterone-3β,17β-diol), a unique anabolic steroid with androgenic, estrogenic, and progestational activities
Bolandiol, a synthetic steroid, builds muscle and bone without greatly affecting sex glands, and works differently from other hormones.
research Early Dengue Virus Infection in Human Skin: A Cycle of Inflammation and Infectivity
Chicken feather gene mutation helps understand human hair disorders.
research Serum C-19 steroid sulphates in females with clinical hyperandrogenism
Women with hyperandrogenism have higher androgen levels and lower SHBG, which may contribute to conditions like excessive hair growth and early puberty.

research Androgenic Alopecia: Cross-Talk Between Cell Signal Transduction Pathways
Hair loss in Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is due to altered cell sensitivity to hormones, not increased hormone levels. Hair growth periods shorten over time, causing hair to become thinner and shorter. This is linked to miscommunication between cell pathways in hair follicles. There's also a change in gene expression related to blood vessels and cell growth in balding hair follicles. The exact molecular causes of AGA are still unclear.
