Research
690-720 / 1000+ results research Rapid nongenomic modulation by neurosteroids of dendritic spines in the hippocampus: Androgen, oestrogen and corticosteroid
Sex and stress steroids quickly change brain cell structures in the hippocampus.
research The quantification of reproductive hormones in the hair of captive adult brown bears and their application as indicators of sex and reproductive state
Measuring reproductive hormones in brown bear hair could help identify their sex and reproductive state, but better collection methods or lab techniques are needed.
research The Development and Evaluation of An Ovulation Inhibitor (Diane®) Containing An Antiandrogen
Diane® is an effective contraceptive that also helps treat acne and mild hair growth issues.
research Gender-Affirming Hormone Therapy for Transgender Females
Hormone therapy for transgender females increases the risk of blood clots and requires careful dosing, monitoring, and lifelong management.
research Understanding and Addressing Hair Disorders in Transgender Individuals
Hormone therapy affects hair growth in transgender individuals, with testosterone potentially causing hair loss in trans men and estrogen reducing facial/body hair in trans women; treatment options vary.
research Controversies Regarding Transdermal Androgen Therapy in Postmenopausal Women
Testosterone therapy may slightly improve sexual function in postmenopausal women, but its long-term safety is unknown.
research Interventions for hirsutism excluding laser and photoepilation therapy alone: abridged Cochrane systematic review includingGRADE assessments
Some medications can reduce excessive hair growth in women, but more research is needed to find the best treatment combinations.
research Manifestation of Hyperandrogenism in the Continuous Light Exposure-Induced PCOS Rat Model
Continuous light exposure in rats leads to PCOS-like symptoms and suggests sleep habits might affect the disorder's development.
research Endocrinological evaluation and hormonal therapy for women with difficult acne
Hormonal therapy is a good option for women with severe acne, especially when there's a chance of hormone imbalance.
research Melanocyte and gonad activity as potential severity modifying factors in C3H/HeJ mouse alopecia areata
Gonadal hormones significantly affect the severity of alopecia areata in mice.
research In Vitro Main Pathways of Steroid Action in Cultured Hair Follicle Cells: Vascular Approach
Steroids, particularly estrogens and 5α-reductase inhibitors, affect blood vessel-related hair growth processes in hair follicle cells.
research Triclocarban, Triclosan, Bromochlorophene, Chlorophene, and Climbazole Effects on Nuclear Receptors: An in Silico and in Vitro Study
Five preservatives may disrupt hormone function and need more health and environmental risk assessment.
research Men and women, so different, so similar: observations from cross-sex hormone treatment of transsexual subjects
Cross-sex hormone treatment in transsexual individuals helps understand how sex hormones affect diseases like heart disease and diabetes.
research Unchanged androgen-binding properties of sex hormone-binding globulin in male patients with liver cirrhosis
SHBG binding properties are unchanged in male liver cirrhosis patients.
research Hormonal Profile of Men with Premature Balding
Men with early balding often have hormone levels similar to women with polycystic ovary syndrome.
research Hormone-dependent medial preoptic/lumbar spinal cord/autonomic coordination supporting male sexual behaviors
Testosterone and its byproducts help support male sexual behavior through different pathways in the brain and body.
research Hedonic sensitivity to natural rewards is affected by prenatal stress in a sex-dependent manner
Prenatal stress changes how male and female rats enjoy rewards differently, linked to sex hormones.
research The expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in the testis and epididymis of rats with a dihydrotestosterone (DHT) deficiency
DHT deficiency increases iNOS expression in rat testis and epididymis.
research THE ENDOCRINE SYSTEM AND HAIR GROWTH IN THE RAT
Male rats grow hair faster than females, and certain hormones can slow or slightly increase hair growth, but not significantly beyond natural rates.
research Gender Differences in Cardiac Hypertrophy
Women generally handle heart enlargement better than men, but it's riskier for them if it occurs; hormones like estrogen offer some protection.
research Discriminating between virilizing ovary tumors and ovary hyperthecosis in postmenopausal women: clinical data, hormonal profiles and image studies
The research found that MRI and certain hormone levels can help tell apart ovarian tumors from hyperthecosis in postmenopausal women, but tissue analysis is still needed for a definite diagnosis.
research Association analysis of oestrogen receptor beta gene ( ESR2 ) polymorphisms with female pattern hair loss
ESR2 gene variations may be linked to female pattern hair loss.
research In vivo and in vitro effect of novel 4,16-pregnadiene-6,20-dione derivatives, as 5α-reductase inhibitors
The new compounds may be more effective and cheaper than current treatments for conditions like baldness.
research Sexual dimorphism of growth plate prehypertrophic and hypertrophic chondrocytes in response to testosterone requires metabolism to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) by steroid 5‐alpha reductase type 1
Male cells need DHT to respond to testosterone, while female cells do not.
research Enzyme Typing of Human Hair Roots
Enzyme typing can reliably characterize human hair.
research Sex steroid hormones are associated with mortality in COVID-19 patients
Low testosterone and SHBG levels are linked to higher COVID-19 death rates.
research Changes of androgens levels in menopausal women
Menopausal women have higher androgen levels, which can cause symptoms like facial hair growth and low sexual desire.
research 5alpha-reductase 2 inhibition impairs brain defeminization of male rats: Reproductive aspects
5alpha-reductase 2 is crucial for proper male brain development and sexual differentiation.
research History as a Tool in Identifying “New” Old Drugs
Finasteride, originally for prostate issues, also treats hair loss, similar to effects from certain plants.
