research Progesterone enhances ethanol-induced modulation of mesocortical dopamine neurons: antagonism by finasteride
Progesterone boosts alcohol's effect on brain, finasteride counters it.
research Steroid 5α-Reductase Inhibitors
New steroidal compounds could be effective for treating conditions related to 5α-reductase enzyme activity.
research Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy at a Hormone Clinic Causing Significant Virilization in a Post-Menopausal Women
A woman developed male characteristics after using unregulated hormone therapy.
research A Novel Nomogram for Predicting Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone Analogue Treatment Outcome in Girls with Idiopathic Central Precocious Puberty
A new model helps predict treatment success in girls with early puberty.
research Cardiovascular profile of pharmacological agents used for the management of polycystic ovary syndrome
Medications for PCOS don't seem to raise heart disease risk.
research Design, synthesis and structure-activity relationships studies on steroidal aromatase and 5α-reductase inhibitors as anti-tumors
Modified steroidal inhibitors showed promise in treating hormone-dependent cancers.
research Datos y razones de la involución eclesial
11-oxyandrogens are linked to excess hair growth in PCOS, but don't help diagnose it.
research [Analysis of steroids and binding proteins in the blood of women with androgenetic alopecia].
Women with androgenetic alopecia have normal levels of most blood steroids and binding proteins, but higher dehydroepiandrosterone. Some also have low "sex hormone-binding globulin" and "corticosteroide-binding globulin" capacity, and high "free androgen index" and "free cortisol index". Diane treatment can normalize these levels and improve hair conditions.
research Treatment of hyperandrogenic alopecia in women
Flutamide may slightly improve hair loss in women, but finasteride does not work.
research Androgen excess: Investigations and management
The conclusion is that managing androgen excess requires long-term treatment, including hormonal contraceptives and androgen blockers, with follow-up after six months.
research Polycystic ovary syndrome - challenges and opportunities
PCOS treatment combines lifestyle changes and medication to manage symptoms and reduce health risks.
research Core-shell nanocarriers based on PEGylated hydrophobic hyperbranched polyesters
The new nanocarriers improve how well water-insoluble drugs dissolve and allow for controlled drug release.
research A review of hormonal therapy for female pattern (androgenic) alopecia
Hormonal therapies like cyproterone acetate and spironolactone may help some women with hair loss, but finasteride 1mg is not useful, and the effectiveness of other treatments is still unclear.
research Neonatal finasteride administration alters hippocampal α4 and δ GABAAR subunits expression and behavioural responses to progesterone in adult rats
research Pharmacological basis for clinical use of antiandrogens
Cyproterone acetate is used to treat conditions like prostate cancer, early puberty, excessive sexual drive, and female androgenization by blocking male sex hormones.
research The treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome.
PCOS treatment focuses on inducing ovulation, reducing androgens, and managing long-term health risks with medications and lifestyle changes.
research Design and synthesis of novel androgen receptor antagonists with sterically bulky icosahedral carboranes
New compounds with carborane showed anti-androgen effects similar to flutamide.
research Studies of the components of an oral contraceptive agent in albino rats. I. Estrogenic component
High doses of ethynylestradiol in rats caused growth issues, organ changes, and some tumors, but didn't increase overall tumor rates.
research Metformin or Antiandrogen in the Treatment of Hirsutism in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Metformin is effective for treating excessive hair growth in women with PCOS and may work better than the standard treatment in some ways.
research Prolonged use of finasteride-induced gonadal sex steroids alterations, DNA damage and menstrual bleeding in women
Long-term use of finasteride in women can cause hormonal changes, DNA damage, and menstrual issues.
research Principles of Hair Cycle Control
Manipulating the catagen and telogen phases of hair growth could lead to treatments for hair disorders.
research Quorum sensing and other collective regenerative behavior in organ populations
Organs like hair follicles can renew themselves in complex ways, adapting to different needs and environments.
research Feather on the Cap of Medicine
Feathers are useful for researching growth, regeneration, and the effects of treatments like chemotherapy on hair loss.
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.
research Percutaneous Drug Delivery to the Hair Follicle
Hair follicles could be used for targeted drug delivery, with liposomal systems showing promise for this method.
research Hair loss in women
The document concludes that hair loss in women is complex, often linked to aging, health conditions, and nutritional deficiencies, and emotional impacts should not be underestimated.
research Microarray analysis reveals distinct RNA expression profiles in endothelial progenitor cells exposed to pro-inflammatory environment or oxidized LDL
Different cells affect hair follicle blood vessels, endothelial cells react differently to inflammation and oxidized fats, and prasugrel better protects heart vessels during a procedure than clopidogrel.
research Effects of prasugrel versus clopidogrel on coronary microvascular function in patients undergoing elective percutaneous coronary intervention: A randomized double-blind study
Prasugrel is better than clopidogrel at preventing heart damage and improving blood flow in small heart vessels during heart artery procedures.
research Kelulut Honey Regulates Sex Steroid Receptors in a Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Rat Model
