research Alopecia and hirsutism*
The document says that hair loss in women is often due to androgenic alopecia, similar to male baldness, and that hirsutism is treated with hormonal and cosmetic methods.
research Steroid 5α-reductase 2 deficiency leads to reduced dominance-related and impulse-control behaviors
Mice lacking steroid 5α-reductase 2 show less aggression and better impulse control.
research Consequences of steroid-5α-reductase deficiency and inhibition in vertebrates
Lack or blocking of SRD5a, a key component in hormone creation, can lead to conditions like pseudohermaphrodism and affect hair growth, bone mass, muscle strength, and reproductive health. More research is needed on its regulation from fertilization to adulthood.
research Contraceptive use in acne
Hormonal contraceptives can help treat acne by affecting sebum production and androgen levels.
research Oral Contraceptives as Anti-Androgenic Treatment of Acne
Birth control pills can help reduce mild to moderate acne in women.
research Exclusive androgenic effect of dehydroepiandrosterone in sebaceous glands of rat skin
DHEA acts like a male hormone on rat skin glands and doesn't turn into female hormones there.
research Androgenetic alopecia and hair growth promotion state of the art: Present and future
Current research explores hair growth drugs, while future research aims for personalized treatments.
research In-vivo uptake and metabolism of testosterone by the skin and other tissues of the rat
Rat skin takes up and processes testosterone differently than other organs, with testosterone being more important for the skin than its metabolite 5α-DHT.
research Dendrobium officinale polysaccharide improves hair regrowth in androgenetic alopecia mice and is associated with coordinated changes in local steroid metabolism, ESR1 activation, and keratin-related follicular responses
Dendrobium officinale polysaccharide helps hair regrowth in hair loss mice by affecting local steroid metabolism and hair follicle responses.
research Anogenital distance as a biomarker for incomplete masculinization : Molecular mechanisms in the perineum
A short male anogenital distance may indicate incomplete masculinization due to disrupted androgen action.
research Neurosteroidogenesis Today: Novel Targets for Neuroactive Steroid Synthesis and Action and Their Relevance for Translational Research
New targets for making and using brain-synthesized steroids could lead to better treatments for brain disorders and alcoholism.
research Modulation of glucocorticoid action and the treatment of type-2 diabetes
Targeting glucocorticoid action might help treat type-2 diabetes, but human trials are needed.
research Female pattern baldness in men
Some men can have female pattern baldness without hormonal abnormalities or signs of feminization.
research Female Hirsutism: Pathophysiological Considerations and Therapeutic Implications*
Excessive hair growth in women often has no known cause and is not linked to race or other hormonal symptoms.
research Pharmacologic management of pattern hair loss
Treat pattern hair loss with finasteride and topical minoxidil.
research Hirsutism in the Adolescent Female
The conclusion is that young women with excessive hair growth should be quickly tested for hormonal issues and treated to improve their social well-being.
research Polycystic ovarian syndrome and associated hirsutism in the adolescent
Early diagnosis and treatment of PCOS in teenagers can help prevent more severe adult PCOS.
research Steroid Sulfatase: Molecular Biology, Regulation, and Inhibition
The enzyme steroid sulfatase is linked to breast cancer and other conditions, and inhibitors are being developed for treatment.
research Hormone replacement therapy and the skin
Estrogen replacement can improve skin health in menopausal women but doesn't reverse sun damage or prevent hair loss.
research Intracrinology and The Skin
DHEA stimulates skin oil glands and could help postmenopausal women, with potential for acne and excessive hair growth treatments.
research 9 Pilosebaceous physiology in relation to hirsutism and acne
Male hormones are important for hair and oil gland development and can cause conditions like excessive hair growth and acne.
research The dihydrotestosterone (DHT) hypothesis of prostate cancer and its therapeutic implications
The document suggests that targeting the hormone DHT could be a more effective treatment for prostate cancer than targeting testosterone.
research The Effect of 5 -Reductase Inhibitors on Erectile Function
5-alpha-reductase inhibitors may cause a low incidence of erectile dysfunction that decreases over time.
research Androgenic and anti-androgenic effects of progesterone derivatives with different halogens as substituents at the C-6 position
Different halogens on progesterone derivatives can either block or mimic male hormone effects, depending on their type and amount.
research Alopecia and Hirsuties
The document concludes that treatments for female hair loss and excessive hair growth are temporary and not well-studied.
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 Endocrine treatment of benign prostatichypertrophy: Current concepts
New hormonal treatments for enlarged prostate show promise for safer, effective non-surgical options.
research Clinical-Exome Sequencing Unveils the Genetic Landscape of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) Focusing on Lean and Obese Phenotypes: Implications for Cost-Effective Diagnosis and Personalized Treatment
Young women in West Bengal, India, with PCOS often have estrogen resistance, leptin receptor issues, folate deficiency, T2DM, and acanthosis, commonly linked to obesity.
