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 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 Polycystic Ovary Syndrome in Adolescents
The document concludes that diagnosing PCOS in teenagers is difficult and should focus on specific hormone levels and menstrual irregularities, while also considering treatment for symptoms and related health issues.
research Adult‐onset hair loss in Chesapeake Bay retrievers: a clinical and histological study
Chesapeake Bay retrievers' hair loss is likely a breed-specific, hereditary condition linked to abnormal steroid levels and distinct skin changes.
research Ratio of ovarian stroma and total ovarian area by ultrasound in prediction of hyperandrogenemia in reproductive-aged Thai women with polycystic ovary syndrome: A diagnostic test
Ultrasound measurement of the ovarian stroma to total area ratio is not a reliable single predictor of high male hormone levels in Thai women with PCOS, but works better when combined with clinical signs.
research Study of Frontal Hairline Patterns in Spanish Caucasian Women
Most Spanish Caucasian women have a widow's peak, and their hormone levels suggest they process certain hormones faster.
research Hirsutism and Virilization in the Female
The chapter explains the causes of excessive hair growth and masculinization in women and how to measure hormone levels related to these conditions.
research Molecular interactions of natural and synthetic steroids in female hamsters’ flank organs
Testosterone, progesterone, and levonorgestrel change enzyme levels related to fat production in hamster skin, which could affect skin oil and acne.
research Treatment guidelines in adult women
Hormonal therapy is effective for treating acne in adult women, especially with signs of high androgen levels.
research Case Report: Postmenopausal hyperandrogenism misled by adrenal incidentaloma: a rare case of androgen-secreting ovarian adult granulosa cell tumor and clinical implications
Thorough evaluation and surgery are crucial for managing rare ovarian tumors in postmenopausal women with high androgen levels.
research Pattern of Hyperandrogenemia in Patients with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome at a Tertiary Care Hospital
Free testosterone is the most common hormone marker in PCOS, and age affects DHEAS levels.
research Urinary Androgens Provide Additional Evidence Related to Metabolism and Are Correlated With Serum Androgens in Girls
The research found that measuring androgens in urine can give extra information about body metabolism and is linked to androgen levels in the blood, especially in young girls.
research The association of androgenetic alopecia and insulin resistance is independent of hyperandrogenemia: A case-control study
Hair loss is linked to insulin resistance in women, regardless of hormone levels.
research Parathyroid adenoma with coeliac disease: primary or quaternary hyperparathyroidism? Gruczolak przytarczyc i choroba trzewna: pierwotna czy czwartorzędowa nadczynność przytarczyc?
A gluten-free diet and removing the parathyroid adenoma helped a girl with coeliac disease and high calcium levels start puberty.
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 Current evaluation of amenorrhea
Amenorrhea is relatively rare and initial testing should check FSH, TSH, and prolactin levels.
research Diagnostic Criteria for Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome
To diagnose Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, two out of three signs—irregular periods, high male hormone levels, or cysts on the ovaries—are needed.
research Acne
Hormonal treatments can help with acne, especially in women, by lowering androgen levels or blocking their effects.
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 What every physician should know about polycystic ovary syndrome
Doctors should know how to diagnose and treat PCOS, which often involves checking for high male hormone levels and using medications to manage symptoms.
research A comparative study of Aldactone® and Diane® in the treatment of hirsutism
Aldactone was more effective in reducing hair growth in women with hirsutism than Diane, despite having less impact on hormone levels.
research Markers of peripheral androgen action in vivo and in vitro
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is crucial for conditions like male-pattern baldness and acne, and measuring a byproduct, androstanediol glucuronide, is a better way to assess DHT's effects than DHT blood levels.
research Androgenic Alopecia: Cross-Talk Between Cell Signal Transduction Pathways
Hair loss in Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is due to altered cell sensitivity to hormones, not increased hormone levels. Hair growth periods shorten over time, causing hair to become thinner and shorter. This is linked to miscommunication between cell pathways in hair follicles. There's also a change in gene expression related to blood vessels and cell growth in balding hair follicles. The exact molecular causes of AGA are still unclear.
research Síndrome de ovario poliquístico: la distancia anogenital como marcador del entorno androgénico prenatal y revisión y comparación de los criterios diagnósticos
Longer anogenital distance may indicate a higher chance of having polycystic ovary syndrome, and measuring this distance along with hormone levels could improve diagnosis.
research Penis Endocrinology
Hormones, especially testosterone and DHT, are key for penis development and function, and testosterone therapy may help with erectile dysfunction in those with low levels.
research Androgen treatment in women
Testosterone therapy can help improve sexual function, mood, and bone density in women with low androgen levels, but more research is needed on long-term safety.
research Facial Appearance and Markers of Cardiometabolic Risk in Healthy Adult Men
Men's facial appearance shows age, body fat, and testosterone levels, not metabolic health.
research Diagnosing polycystic ovary syndrome
