research The local hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis in cultured human dermal papilla cells
Stress hormone CRF causes hair loss and inhibits hair growth in human cells.
research Dorsal Skin Reactions of Hairless Dogs to Topical Treatment with Corticosteroids
Stronger corticosteroids cause more skin damage in hairless dogs, similar to effects in humans.
research Effects of mitotane treatment on human steroid metabolism: implications for patient management
Mitotane changes steroid breakdown, affecting cortisol availability.
research Increased CRHR1 expression on monocytes from patients with AA enables a pro‐inflammatory response to corticotrophin‐releasing hormone
Higher CRHR1 levels in AA patients lead to increased inflammation.
research Corticosteroids for the treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy
Corticosteroids, especially prednisone, improve short-term muscle strength in Duchenne muscular dystrophy but have manageable side effects.
research Immediate and Delayed Complications of Dexamethasone Cyclophosphamide Pulse (DCP) Therapy
DCP therapy causes side effects like weakness, flushing, headaches, and taste changes, but less frequently causes hypertension and diabetes.
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 Δ5-3β-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase Activity in Sebaceous Glands of Scalp in Male-Pattern Baldness
research Cortisol determination in hair and faeces from domestic cats and dogs
Hair cortisol can reliably indicate chronic stress in cats and dogs.
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 Urinary 5-ene-steroid excretion in non-classical congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase deficiency (NC-3BHSD)
Some women with excess hair growth have a hormone condition that can't be diagnosed by blood or urine tests alone.
research 5α-Reductase, an enzyme regulating glucocorticoid action in the testis of Rhinella arenarum (Amphibia: Anura)
5α-Reductase helps regulate hormone action in toad testes, especially during breeding season.
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 Trilostane treatment of a dog with functional adrenocortical neoplasia
Trilostane helped a dog with an adrenal tumor feel better and stay healthy.
research The diagnosis of nonclassic congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency, based on serum basal or post-ACTH stimulation 17-hydroxyprogesterone, can lead to false-positive diagnosis
Using 17-hydroxyprogesterone levels to diagnose nonclassic congenital adrenal hyperplasia can result in many incorrect diagnoses.
research Opposite effects of dihydrotestosterone and estradiol on apoptosis in the anterior pituitary gland from male rats
research Cross‐sectional relation of long‐term glucocorticoids in hair with anthropometric measurements and their possible determinants: A systematic review and meta‐analysis
Higher glucocorticoids in hair are linked to increased obesity measures like waist size.
research Effect of thioredoxin reductase 1 on glucocorticoid receptor activity in human outer root sheath cells
Thioredoxin reductase 1 does not affect glucocorticoid receptor activity in hair follicle cells.
research Diabetogenic potential of dexamethasone and effect Annona muricata methanolic bark extract as post-exposure therapy in albino rats
Dexamethasone can cause diabetes in rats, and Annona muricata bark extract may help lower blood sugar.
research Gene expression of type 2 17β hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase in scalp hairs of hirsute women
Hirsute women have lower type 2 17β-HSD enzyme levels, which improve with treatment.
research Adherence to topical hydrocortisone 17-butyrate 0.1% in different vehicles in adults with atopic dermatitis
Adults with atopic dermatitis showed similar adherence to different forms of hydrocortisone cream, but actual use varied despite self-reports of near-perfect usage.
research Human Osteoblast-Like Cells Express Predominantly Steroid 5α-Reductase Type 1
Human bone cells mainly produce a type 1 enzyme that may help regulate bone health.
research SAT-435 When The Cure Becomes The Cause: Adrenal Insufficiency In Cushing’s Management
Careful dosing and monitoring are crucial to prevent adrenal insufficiency when using ketoconazole for Cushing's disease.
research In Vivo Evaluation of Cromolyn Sodium Topical Gels for the Treatment of Atopic Dermatitis
Cromolyn sodium oleate gel is more effective and safer for treating atopic dermatitis than dexamethasone.
research The Efficacy of Intermittant Low-Dose Systemic Corticosteroid in the Treatment of Alopecia Areata
Low-dose intermittent corticosteroid therapy can effectively treat alopecia areata.
research The Modulation of Aromatase and Estrogen Receptor Alpha in Cultured Human Dermal Papilla Cells by Dexamethasone: A Novel Mechanism for Selective Action of Estrogen via Estrogen Receptor Beta?
Dexamethasone may influence hair growth by altering estrogen receptor activity in hair cells.
research Anti-androgenetic effect of diphlorethohydroxycarmalol on testosterone-induced hair loss by inhibiting 5α-reductase and promoting Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in human dermal papilla cells
Diphlorethohydroxycarmalol may help treat hair loss better than current medications.
research Local Injection of Triamcinolone Acetonide: A Forgotten Aetiology of Cushing’s Syndrome
Injecting steroids like Triamcinolone Acetonide for skin treatments can cause Cushing's Syndrome.
research Generalised Glucocorticoid Resistance
Mutations in the glucocorticoid receptor gene cause reduced sensitivity to glucocorticoids and may lead to poor response to treatment.
