research Studying the genetic predisposing factors in the pathogenesis of acne vulgaris
Genetics play a role in acne, but how exactly they contribute is not fully understood.
research Androgenetic alopecia
Hair loss from genetics and hormones can be treated with drugs or surgery.
research Molecular basis of androgen action on human sexual desire
Testosterone significantly affects sexual desire in both men and women, but its impact on women is more complex and influenced by psychological factors.
research Finasteride-Induced Inhibition of 5α-Reductase Type 2 Could Lead to Kidney Damage—Animal, Experimental Study
Finasteride may cause kidney damage.
research COVID‐19, androgens, and androgenic alopecia
COVID-19 may worsen with androgens; anti-androgen drugs could help.
research UPDATE ON IDIOPATHIC HIRSUTISM: DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT
The document concludes that combination therapy is most effective for treating excessive hair growth in women with idiopathic hirsutism, and more research is needed to understand the condition.
research Adrenal Cortex Tumors and Hyperplasias
Most adrenal cortex tumors are benign and non-secreting, but proper diagnosis and treatment are important due to the rare possibility of cancer.
research Social Interest Data as a Proxy for Off-Label Performance-Enhancing Drug Use: Implications and Clinical Considerations
Clinicians should use social and prescription data to track trends in performance-enhancing drug use.
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 Androgens Protect against Apolipoprotein E4-Induced Cognitive Deficits
Androgens can help prevent memory problems caused by apoE4.
research Androgens and human hair growth
Androgens can cause hair growth in some areas and hair loss on the scalp.
research GROWTH FACTORS IN HAIR ORGAN DEVELOPMENT AND THE HAIR GROWTH CYCLE
Growth factors are crucial for hair development and could help treat hair diseases.
research Dihydrotestosterone Stimulates 5a-Reductase Activity in Pubic Skin Fibroblasts*
Dihydrotestosterone increases the activity of an enzyme in pubic skin cells that converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone.
research Medical Treatment of Hirsutism in Women
Treating hirsutism in women often requires a mix of medications and cosmetic methods for best results.
research Basic mechanisms of SARS-CoV-2 infection. What endocrine systems could be implicated?
SARS-CoV-2, the virus causing COVID-19, can affect all endocrine organs and systems, altering their function and potentially leading to disorders. Factors like diabetes and obesity increase infection risk and severity. Understanding these effects is key for effective treatment.
research Medical treatment of male pattern alopecia (androgenic alopecia)

research Transcriptome Dynamics Reveal Stage-Specific and Melatonin-Triggered Gene Expression Patterns During The Cashmere Growth Cycle in Capra Hircus
Melatonin affects certain genes and pathways involved in cashmere goat hair growth.
research Reporting on Adverse Clinical Events
Monitoring for adverse effects in clinical treatments is crucial.
research 5α-Reductase isozymes and aromatase mRNA levels in plucked hair from young women with female pattern hair loss
Higher enzyme levels found in women with hair loss, suggesting hormone imbalance.
research Safety and efficacy of transdermal testosterone for treatment of hypoactive sexual desire disorder
Transdermal testosterone can improve sexual desire in postmenopausal women but lacks long-term safety data and is not FDA-approved for this use.
research The involvement of androgens in human hair growth
Androgens play a key role in hair growth and disorders like baldness and excessive hairiness.
