research Pharmacokinetics and Bioconversion of Dehydroepiandrosterone after Application of Dexamethasone in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Women with PCOS have higher 5alpha-reductase activity, affecting steroid levels.
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 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 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 Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and polycystic ovary syndrome
People with PCOS, especially if obese, often have NAFLD, linked to obesity, insulin resistance, and high androgen levels.
research Acne
Hormonal treatments can help with acne, especially in women, by lowering androgen levels or blocking their effects.
research Hirsutism and the Variable Response of the Pilosebaceous Unit to Androgen
Different women's hair and skin glands respond to hormones in varied ways, which can cause unwanted hair growth even with normal hormone levels, and more research is needed to treat this effectively.
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 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 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 Knowledge, Attitude and Perceptions of the population towards Vitamin D in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia
People in Jeddah know about Vitamin D and its sources but are unclear on how much they need daily, and while many women take supplements, attitudes towards increasing Vitamin D levels vary.
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 LH Induces Murine Hair Loss through TRPC-Medicated Cell Aging Responses: Implications for Female Pattern Hair Loss Pathogenesis
High LH levels cause hair loss by damaging and aging hair follicles.
research Upregulation of mir-1199-5p is associated with reduced type 2 5-α reductase expression in benign prostatic hyperplasia
Higher levels of miR-1199-5p may reduce the effectiveness of certain prostate treatments.
research Adolescent acne: association to sex, puberty, testosterone and dihydrotestosterone
Higher DHT levels are linked to more acne in adolescents, especially boys.
research The influence of ESR1 polymorphisms on selected hormonal, metabolic and mineral balance markers in women with hyperandrogenism
Certain ESR1 gene variations may affect hormone levels and fat distribution in women with high male hormone levels.
research In vitro effects of testosterone, dihydrotestosterone and estradiol on cell growth of human hair bulb papilla cells and hair root sheath fibroblasts.
High levels of testosterone and dihydrotestosterone inhibit hair cell growth, while high levels of estradiol promote it.
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 Vitamin D and aging
Balanced vitamin D levels are crucial to delay aging and prevent related diseases.
research Deciphering the Role of Androgen in the Dermatologic Manifestations of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Patients: A State-of-the-Art Review
High androgen levels cause skin issues in PCOS, affecting quality of life.
research The Effect of Ferritin, Vitamin D, and Some Hormonal and Biochemical Parameters on Patients with Female-pattern Hair Loss after COVID-19 Infection
Low ferritin and Vitamin D levels may cause hair loss after COVID-19.
research Circulating Androgen Concentrations and Risk of Incident Heart Failure in Older Men: The Cardiovascular Health Study
Lower testosterone levels may increase heart failure risk in older men.
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 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 Growth Hormone and the Human Hair Follicle
Growth hormone levels affect hair growth and loss, with too much causing excess hair and too little leading to hair loss.

High triglyceride levels are a key factor affecting testosterone levels in women with PCOS.
research The Effect of EGR1 on the Proliferation of Dermal Papilla Cells
