research Psychophysiological Mechanisms of Stress Impact on Hair Loss Processes
Stress causes hair loss by disrupting hair growth cycles, and combining medical and cosmetic treatments can help manage it.
research Long-term physiological trends and their drivers: linking hair hormone concentrations with telemetry data in GPS-collared Serengeti wildebeest
Wildebeest stress and hormone levels are influenced by food availability, human presence, and reproductive cycles.
research Recent advances in the molecular mechanisms determining tissue sensitivity to glucocorticoids: novel mutations, circadian rhythm and ligand-induced repression of the human glucocorticoid receptor
New findings explain how genetic changes, body clocks, and certain molecules affect tissue response to stress hormones.
research Alopecia areata – hyperactivity of the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis is a myth?
The study found no significant difference in stress hormone levels between people with alopecia areata and healthy individuals, suggesting that the disease is not caused by an overactive stress response system.
research Generalised Glucocorticoid Resistance
Generalized glucocorticoid resistance causes hormone imbalances and varied symptoms due to gene mutations.

Spironolactone is a safe and effective treatment for reducing excessive hair growth in women.
research An Update of Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia
Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia is a genetic disorder with two forms, causing symptoms like early puberty and severe acne, but can be identified through screening and treated with glucocorticoids.
research Hormone therapy for transgender patients
Hormone therapy is essential for transgender individuals but requires careful management due to possible metabolic effects.

Treating sleep apnea in young obese women with PCOS can improve heart health and insulin sensitivity.
research Stress-related skin disorders
Stress can worsen skin conditions by affecting hormone levels and immune response.
research Dihydrotestosterone Stimulates 5a-Reductase Activity in Pubic Skin Fibroblasts*
Dihydrotestosterone increases the activity of an enzyme in pubic skin cells that converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone.
research Primary Generalized Glucocorticoid Resistance and Hypersensitivity
The conclusion is that genetic changes in the glucocorticoid receptor can lead to conditions affecting stress response, immunity, and metabolism, requiring personalized treatment.
research Ketoconazole Therapy for Women with Acne and/or Hirsutism
Ketoconazole reduced hair growth and improved acne in women, but caused side effects needing careful monitoring.
research Adrenal Disorders and the Paediatric Brain: Pathophysiological Considerations and Clinical Implications
Adrenal disorders can cause lasting brain and behavior issues in children.
research Rhythmic expression of circadian clock genes in human leukocytes and beard hair follicle cells
Human leukocytes and beard hair follicle cells have internal daily clocks, and PER1 and PER3 genes may indicate individual circadian rhythms.
