research Local synthesis and function of neuro-estrogen and neuro-androgen: impact on the hippocampus-related cognition and neuronal plasticity
Neurosteroids like neuro-estrogen and neuro-androgen are crucial for brain function and can improve cognition and protect against aging-related decline.
research 192 MicroRNAs and their regulatory interactions in the human hair follicle
The research found that certain microRNAs are important for human hair growth and health.
research Treatment of hirsutism: comparisons between different antiandrogens with central and peripheral effects
Finasteride, CPA, and flutamide are all equally effective in reducing excessive hair growth in women.
research Effect of finasteride on ovulation induction in nonresponder (hyperandrogenic) polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) women
Finasteride helps induce ovulation in nonresponder PCOS women.
research Short‐ and Long‐Term Clinical Skin Effects of Testosterone Treatment in Trans Men
Testosterone treatment in trans men increases body and facial hair and may lead to hair loss over time, but severe skin issues are rare.
research Minoxidil activates β-catenin pathway in human dermal papilla cells: A possible explanation for its anagen prolongation effect
Minoxidil helps hair growth by activating the β-catenin pathway.
research Specific dermatologic features of the polycystic ovary syndrome and its association with biochemical markers of the metabolic syndrome and hyperandrogenism
Hirsutism is a strong sign of high male hormones and metabolic problems in women with PCOS, but acne and hair loss are not.
research Matriptase activation and shedding with HAI-1 is induced by steroid sex hormones in human prostate cancer cells, but not in breast cancer cells
Steroid sex hormones activate matriptase in prostate cancer cells but not in breast cancer cells.
research Differential Expression of miR-93 and miR-21 in Granulosa Cells and Follicular Fluid of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Associating with Different Phenotypes
The study found that certain microRNAs are higher in the cells and lower in the fluid of women with a specific type of polycystic ovary syndrome, and one microRNA could potentially help diagnose the condition.
research Alternative treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome: pre-clinical and clinical basis for using plant-based drugs
Plant-based drugs are effective and safe alternatives for managing PCOS symptoms.
research What may be the markers of the male equivalent of polycystic ovary syndrome?
Some men with early hair loss may have a condition similar to PCOS in women.
research Thyrotropin-releasing hormone and oestrogen differentially regulate prolactin and prolactin receptor expression in female human skin and hair follicles in vitro
Oestrogen and thyrotropin-releasing hormone affect prolactin and its receptor in human skin and hair, suggesting new treatment options for related conditions.
research The changes in the hair cycle during gestation and the post-partum period
Hair growth slows and shedding increases after childbirth, but most women don't experience excessive hair loss.
research Revisiting hyper- and hypo-androgenism by tandem mass spectrometry
The document concludes that using LC-MS/MS for measuring androgens is more accurate than older methods, but it needs careful validation and standardized references to be most effective.
research Effects of finasteride, a 5 alpha-reductase inhibitor, on circulating androgens and gonadotropin secretion in hirsute women.
Finasteride reduces dihydrotestosterone, increases testosterone, and may treat hirsutism in women.
research Endocrine profile of the VCD-induced perimenopausal model rat
The rat model showed early perimenopause with regular cycles and low hormones, and late perimenopause with irregular cycles and higher hormone levels.
research Clinical Case Seminar: Postmenopausal androgen excess-challenges in diagnostic work-up and management of ovarian thecosis
The conclusion is that removing both ovaries is the best treatment for excess male hormones in postmenopausal women, with medication as another option, and managing insulin resistance is important for diagnosis and treatment.
research Spironolactone in the Treatment of Hirsutism
Spironolactone can reduce hair growth and testosterone in hirsutism, but is less effective than combined treatments.
research Selenium and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome; Current Knowledge and Future Directions: A Systematic Review
Selenium might help with insulin resistance and cholesterol in PCOS, but more research is needed to confirm its benefits.
research Anti-Müllerian hormone confirms the novel classification of female functional androgenization including polycystic ovary syndrome
Anti-Müllerian hormone is a specific marker for ovarian issues in women with conditions like PCOS.
research Effect of 1-mg Dose of Finasteride on Spermatogenesis and Pregnancy
Finasteride 1-mg doesn't harm sperm or pregnancy chances.
research Comparison between single- versus double-spin prepared platelet-rich plasma injection in treatment of female pattern hair loss: clinical effect and relation to vascular endothelial growth factor
Both methods improve hair density and thickness; double-spin may be more effective.
research Transcriptomic profiling in Silurana tropicalis testes exposed to finasteride
Finasteride affects frog testes by increasing testosterone, decreasing 5α-DHT, and impacting genes related to reproduction and other functions.
research Hyperandrogenism, Elevated 17-Hydroxyprogesterone and Its Urinary Metabolites in a Young Woman with Ovarian Steroid Cell Tumor, Not Otherwise Specified: Case Report and Review of the Literature
A young woman's symptoms suggested PCOS, but tests and surgery confirmed and treated a rare ovarian tumor, resolving her condition.
research Sexual dimorphism following in vitro ischemia in the response to neurosteroids and mechanisms of injury
Male tissue has more cell death than female tissue after ischemia, and some neurosteroids only protect female cells.
research Effect of metformin by employing 2-hour postload insulin for measuring insulin resistance in Taiwanese women with polycystic ovary syndrome
Metformin improved insulin resistance and BMI in overweight Taiwanese women with PCOS, and a 2-hour insulin test may be a good screening tool.
research The Cycle Characteristics and Outcomes of Infertile Nonclassic 21-Hydroxylase Deficiency Patients Undergoing Ovarian Stimulation for In Vitro Fertilization
