research What is the Rationale for Androgen Therapy for Women?
Testosterone therapy can help improve mood, sexual function, and bone health in women with low androgen levels, but more research is needed to establish safe and effective guidelines.
research Pathophysiological mechanisms implicated in postpartum depression
Postpartum depression is linked to changes in brain chemicals, inflammation, stress, and certain genes, and can potentially be identified by markers like specific steroids, serotonin levels, and vitamin D levels.
research ORIGINAL RESEARCH—ENDOCRINOLOGY: Comparison of the Steady‐State Pharmacokinetics, Metabolism, and Variability of a Transdermal Testosterone Patch Versus a Transdermal Testosterone Gel in Hypogonadal Men
The testosterone patch and gel are both effective, but they have different absorption patterns and effects on hormone levels.
research Bone mineral density in hyperandrogenic amenorrhoea
Women with hyperandrogenic amenorrhea have similar bone density to healthy women but lower than androgenized women without amenorrhea, and high DHEAS levels might affect bone density.
research Investigation of transfollicular caffeine penetration using microdialysis on ex vivo porcine ear skin
Caffeine penetrates skin quickly through open hair follicles, but less through closed ones, with levels becoming equal after 22 hours.
research Simultaneous determination of androgens and prostaglandins in human urine using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry
Researchers developed a reliable way to measure hormones in urine, showing that a baldness treatment doesn't change hormone levels.
research 9. Immunology
Blood pressure drugs can cause skin lupus, early treatment is key for baby herpes and diabetic foot ulcers, a certain vaccine works against genital herpes and HPV in women, more frequent light therapy helps psoriasis, smoking and drinking can worsen psoriasis, a cream clears up a type of skin cancer, and low iron levels don't cause chronic hair loss.
research 6. Phototherapy, Photomedicine, and Pigmentary Disorders
Stopping certain drugs can improve skin conditions, arsenicosis affects over half of a Bangladeshi village, males are more vulnerable, and certain treatments are effective for warts, acne, and psoriasis. Smoking and drinking are linked to psoriasis in men, a cream helps with a type of skin cancer, and low iron levels don't directly cause chronic hair loss in women.
research Fetal Alcohol Syndrome: Current Status of Pathogenesis
The document concludes that the exact way alcohol causes harm to fetal development is unknown, but it significantly affects nutrient transport to the fetus and a safe level of alcohol during pregnancy is not determined.
research Adrenal steroid hormone concentrations in dogs with hair cycle arrest (Alopecia X) before and during treatment with melatonin and mitotane
Melatonin and mitotane treatment led to hair re-growth in 62% of dogs with Alopecia X, but this was not always linked to normal hormone levels.
research Polycystic ovary syndrome and the differential diagnosis of hyperandrogenism
The document concludes that careful evaluation is needed to diagnose PCOS correctly due to similar symptoms in other conditions, and accurate testosterone level measurement is crucial.
research Analysis of hair steroid hormone concentrations at different parts of the head by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry
Hormone levels in hair vary across the head, with the highest concentration of a key hormone linked to hair loss at the top.
research Role of prolactin in regulating the onset of winter fur growth in mink (Mustela vison): A reconsideration
Prolactin levels do not control the start of winter fur growth in mink.
research Defective Expression of the Gap Junction Protein Pannexin-1 Channel Contributes to the Formation of PCOS-Realted Androgenetic Alopecia
Higher levels of the protein Pannexin-1 may play a role in hair loss in women with PCOS.
research The role of pregnane neurosteroids in ethanol withdrawal: behavioral genetic approaches
Adjusting neurosteroid levels may help reduce alcohol withdrawal symptoms.
research Arsenic in induced hair of the rat and its relation to the content in various organs during chronic exposure.
Arsenic levels in rat hair reflect arsenic intake and accumulation in the body.
research Hippocampal 3α,5α-THP may alter depressive behavior of pregnant and lactating rats
Higher 3α,5α-THP levels in the brain may reduce depression in pregnant rats.
research Metals in female scalp hair globally and its impact on perceived hair health
Higher metal levels in hair are linked to poorer perceived hair health.
research Within-person changes of cortisol, dehydroepiandrosterone, testosterone, estradiol, and progesterone in hair across pregnancy, with comparison to a non-pregnant reference group
Hormone levels in hair change during pregnancy, with progesterone increasing significantly compared to non-pregnant women.
research Ischemia-modified albumin as a possible marker of oxidative stress in patients with telogen effluvium
Higher levels of ischemia-modified albumin in telogen effluvium patients may indicate oxidative stress.
research An ERK-dependent molecular switch antagonizes fibrosis and promotes regeneration in spiny mice ( Acomys )
High levels of ERK activity are key for tissue regeneration in spiny mice, and activating ERK can potentially redirect scar-forming healing towards regenerative healing in mammals.
research Beyond the Surface: Understanding Demodex and Its Link to Blepharitis and Facial Dermatoses
High levels of Demodex mites can cause eye and skin problems.
research Longitudinal association between saliva and hair cortisol concentration: A systematic comparison
Hair cortisol is a reliable marker of long-term cortisol levels and is linked to daytime saliva cortisol but not morning levels.
research Inhibition of neurosteroid synthesis increases asphyxia-induced brain injury in the late gestation fetal sheep
Reducing neurosteroid levels worsens brain injury in fetal sheep.
research LGR5 is a Marker of Poor Prognosis in Glioblastoma and is Required for Survival of Brain Cancer Stem‐Like Cells
High LGR5 levels in glioblastoma indicate poor prognosis and are essential for cancer stem cell survival.
research A novel control of human keratin expression: cannabinoid receptor 1-mediated signaling down-regulates the expression of keratins K6 and K16 in human keratinocytesin vitroandin situ
Activating cannabinoid receptor 1 reduces certain keratin levels, potentially aiding psoriasis treatment.
research Opposing impacts on healthspan and longevity by limiting dietary selenium in telomere dysfunctional mice
Low selenium levels can extend lifespan but worsen health issues.
research Effects of lifelong testosterone exposure on health and disease using Mendelian randomization
Higher testosterone levels can increase the risk of certain diseases like type 2 diabetes in women and prostate cancer in men, but can also protect against autoimmune diseases and hair loss. It also affects body fat and bone density.
research Hair loss and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenocortical axis activity in captive rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta).
