research Lipedematous alopecia with mucinosis: report of the first case in Taiwan
Taiwan reported its first case of a rare scalp condition with no clear cause or treatment.
research Preparation of3H-labelled testosterone metabolites
The conclusion is that tritium-labeled testosterone metabolites can be made and are better converted into dihydrotestosterone in skin cells than in prostate tissue.
research Polycystic ovarian syndrome
PCOS is a common hormonal disorder in women that can lead to serious health problems.
research End of Activity of Any Type of Active Welding by Low Level Laser Therapy by Lllt (Eka) Specialized Method
Low-level laser therapy is a safe, painless method that effectively treats acne and improves skin without post-treatment care.
research A review on Hair Loss & Damage
The article concludes that understanding the causes of hair loss and using continuous treatments like minoxidil and finasteride can help manage it, despite potential side effects.
research FC053 Pro-inflammatory cytokine cascade in human plucked hair
Anti-IL-1 treatments might help with certain types of hair loss in people with high inflammation.
research FC056 The ideal catagen of the hair
Blocking IL-1 could help treat some hair loss conditions; alopecia affects liver detox systems; spironolactone is better than finasteride for female hair growth; focusing on the catagen hair phase could lead to new alopecia treatments.
research FC054 The liver monoxygenase system in patients with alopecia
Alopecia patients have a less active liver monoxygenase system, which can be treated with photochemotherapy and system inducers.
research FC055 Comparison of finasteride versus spironolactone in the treatment of idiopathic hirsutism
Spironolactone is more effective than finasteride in treating excessive hair growth in women.
research Iatrogenic androgenetic alopecia in a male phenotype 46XX true hermaphrodite
Hormone treatment caused hair loss, finasteride helped regrowth.
research Evolution, classification, structure, and functional diversification of steroid 5α-reductase family in eukaryotes
Steroid 5α-reductase evolved from protists and diversified in eukaryotes, with specific roles in mammals and plants.
research Testosterone alters iron metabolism and stimulates red blood cell production independently of dihydrotestosterone
Testosterone boosts red blood cell production and changes iron metabolism without needing dihydrotestosterone.
research Finasteride inhibits epinephrine synthesis in humans: implication for sexual dysfunction
Finasteride may cause sexual dysfunction by reducing epinephrine levels.
research Adrenal androgenic female-pattern alopecia: sex hormones and the balding woman
Higher DHEAS levels may cause hair loss in women by disrupting hair growth.
research 5α-Reductase and 11β-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase Activity in Prepubertal Hispanic Girls with Premature Adrenarche
Enzyme activities do not cause early pubic hair in these girls.
research Steroidogenesis of the testis – new genes and pathways
New genes and pathways are important for testosterone production and male sexual development.
research Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of novel androst-3,5-diene-3-carboxylic acid derivatives as inhibitors of 5α-reductase type 1 and 2
New chemical compounds were made that effectively block an enzyme linked to prostate growth.
research Androgen Conjugates: Physiology and Clinical Significance
Androgen conjugates might be better indicators of skin sensitivity to hormones in women with excessive hair growth.
research Estrogen and androgen signaling in the pathogenesis of BPH
Hormonal interactions, especially involving DHT and estrogen, play a key role in BPH development and treatment.
research Studies on neurosteroids XXIV. Determination of neuroactive androgens, androsterone and 5α‐androstane‐3α,17β‐diol, in rat brain and serum using liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry
The methods accurately measured brain androgens, showing most 5α-androstane-3α,17β-diol comes from outside the brain, while androsterone is both transported and made in the brain.
research Effect of finasteride on human testicular steroidogenesis.
research 3 alpha, 17 beta-androstanediol glucuronide in plasma. A marker of androgen action in idiopathic hirsutism.
High levels of 3 alpha-diol glucuronide in the blood are a marker of increased androgen action in women with excessive hair growth of unknown cause.
research New Synthesis of Methyl 3β-Hydroxy-5-androstene-17β-carboxylate
A new method was developed to make a compound used in finasteride and epristeride with a 69% yield.
research Effection of Epristeride and Finasteride on Spermatogenesis in Male Rats
Finasteride reduces sperm count and affects male reproductive function, while Epristeride does not.
research Testosterone metabolite nonessential for androgen effects
The body's change of testosterone into DHT is not necessary for testosterone's muscle and sexual effects.
research The clinical management of hirsutism
The document concludes that managing hirsutism involves identifying the cause, using a scoring system for severity, combining cosmetic and medical treatments, encouraging weight loss, and providing psychological support, while noting the need for more research on drug treatments.
research High circulating oestrone and low testosterone correlate with adverse clinical outcomes in men with advanced liver disease
Men with advanced liver disease and high oestrone and low testosterone levels have worse health outcomes.
research Estranys matins de febrer: Pauline Fondevila
