research Outcome of long-term treatment with the 5α-reductase inhibitor finasteride in idiopathic hirsutism: clinical and hormonal effects during a 1-year course of therapy and 1-year follow-up
Finasteride effectively reduces hair growth in women with idiopathic hirsutism, but requires careful contraception during treatment.
research Androgen‐inducible TGF‐β1 from balding dermal papilla cells inhibits epithelial cell growth: a clue to understanding paradoxical effects of androgen on human hair growth
Androgens may cause hair loss by increasing TGF-beta1 from scalp cells, which inhibits hair cell growth.
research Phenotype and metabolic profile of South Asian women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS): results of a large database from a specialist Endocrine Clinic
South Asian women with PCOS are more likely to have metabolic issues and central obesity, and simple measures like waist size and blood pressure can help identify these risks early.
research 'Atrophic telogen effluvium' from cytotoxic drugs and a randomized controlled trial to investigate the possible protective effect of pretreatment with a topical vitamin D3 analogue in humans
Topical vitamin D3 does not prevent hair loss from chemotherapy.
research Finasteride, a 5α-reductase inhibitor, potentiates antinociceptive effects of morphine, prevents the development of morphine tolerance and attenuates abstinence behavior in the rat
Finasteride boosts morphine's pain relief, stops tolerance, and reduces withdrawal in rats.
research Androgens and erythropoiesis. Induction of erythropoietin-hypersecretory state and effect of finasteride on erythropoietin secretion
Androgens increase EPO production, finasteride doesn't significantly impact it.
research Efficacy of two traditionally used potentized homeopathic medicines, Calcarea carbonica and Lycopodium clavatum, used for treating PCOS patients: I. Effects on certain important external guiding symptoms
Homeopathic medicines Calcarea carbonica and Lycopodium clavatum can help improve PCOS symptoms.
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 New 5?-reductase inhibitors: In vitro and in vivo effects
Four new compounds were more effective than finasteride in treating prostate issues and hair loss, with one being 100 times more active and safe for use.
research FCE 28260, a new 5α-reductase inhibitor: In vitro and in vivo effects
FCE 28260 is a stronger and longer-lasting inhibitor of 5α-reductase than finasteride, which may make it a better treatment for certain medical conditions.
research A Pharmacogenetic Survey of Androgen Receptor (CAG)N and (GGN)N Polymorphisms in Patients Experiencing Long Term Side Effects after Finasteride Discontinuation
Longer CAG and GGN repeats increase alopecia risk, but no significant link to post-finasteride syndrome found.
research The regulatory role of the tetrapeptide A cSDKP in skin and hair physiology and the prevention of ageing effects in these tissues – a potential cosmetic role
AcSDKP may help prevent skin and hair aging and promote their growth.
research Alcohol Exposure During Late Adolescence Increases Drinking in Adult Wistar Rats, an Effect that is not Reduced by Finasteride
Alcohol in teen years leads to more adult drinking, finasteride doesn't help.
research Quality of Life, Burden of Disease, Co-morbidities, and Systemic Effects in Vitiligo Patients
Vitiligo affects overall health and self-esteem, needing more research and awareness.
research Evaluation of biophysical skin parameters and hair changes in patients with acne vulgaris treated with isotretinoin, and the effect of biotin use on these parameters
Biotin supplementation during isotretinoin treatment for acne may help maintain skin hydration and improve hair growth.
research Comprehensive clinical management of hirsutism
New treatments for excessive hair growth in women include insulin modulators and enzyme inhibitors.
research Comparison clinical and metabolic effects of metformin and pioglitazone in polycystic ovary syndrome
Both metformin and pioglitazone improve PCOS symptoms, but pioglitazone is a good alternative for those who can't take metformin.
research The Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Evolutionary Paradox: a Genome-Wide Association Studies–Based, in silico, Evolutionary Explanation
The research suggests that the global distribution of PCOS is likely due to historical human migration and that genes affecting PCOS may have different impacts on males and females.
research The effect of vitamin D on the hormonal profile of women with polycystic ovarian syndrome: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Vitamin D may help improve hormone levels in women with PCOS.
research Effects of supplementation with two probiotic strains (Lactobacillus helveticus and Bifidobacterium longum) on hormonal status, oxidative stress, and clinical symptoms in women with polycystic ovary syndrome: a randomized clinical trial
Probiotic supplements may help reduce inflammation and oxidative stress in women with PCOS.
research Contaminants of emerging concern in the fetal environment
Fetal environments contain various chemicals that may disrupt hormones.
research Effects of the prenatal and postnatal nurturing environment on the phenotype and gut microbiota of mice with polycystic ovary syndrome induced by prenatal androgen exposure: a cross-fostering study
Prenatal and postnatal environments both affect PCOS development and gut microbiota in mice.
research Effects of digital health education intervention on stress, anxiety and depression of patients with polycystic ovarian syndrome: study protocol for a single blinded randomized controlled trial
Digital health education may reduce stress, anxiety, and depression in PCOS patients.
