research Prolactin and the Skin: A Dermatological Perspective on an Ancient Pleiotropic Peptide Hormone
Prolactin affects hair growth and skin conditions, and could be a target for new skin disease treatments.
research Hormonal regulation of hair follicles exhibits a biological paradox
Androgens can both stimulate and cause hair loss, and understanding their effects is key to treating hair disorders.
research Beyond acne: Current aspects of sebaceous gland biology and function
The sebaceous gland has more roles than just producing sebum and contributing to acne, and new research could lead to better skin disease treatments.
research Hormones and the pilosebaceous unit
Hormones significantly affect hair and oil gland function in the skin, and more research is needed on skin-related hormone disorders.
research Acne
Hormonal treatments can help with acne, especially in women, by lowering androgen levels or blocking their effects.
research Skin connective tissue and ageing
Menopause reduces skin collagen and elasticity, and while estrogen therapy can help, its risks require careful consideration.
research Prolactin—a novel neuroendocrine regulator of human keratin expressionin situ
Prolactin affects the production of different keratins in human hair, which could lead to new treatments for skin and hair disorders.
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 Matriptase activation and shedding with HAI-1 is induced by steroid sex hormones in human prostate cancer cells, but not in breast cancer cells
Steroid sex hormones activate matriptase in prostate cancer cells but not in breast cancer cells.
research Prolactin delays hair regrowth in mice
Prolactin slows down hair growth in mice.
research The antiandrogen enzalutamide downregulates TMPRSS2 and reduces cellular entry of SARS-CoV-2 in human lung cells
The drug enzalutamide may reduce the ability of the virus causing COVID-19 to enter lung cells.
research Gender aspects in skin diseases
Men are more likely to get infectious skin diseases, while women are more prone to autoimmune and pigment-related skin conditions, influenced by biological and environmental factors.
research What does androgenetic alopecia have to do with COVID‐19? An insight into a potential new therapy
Androgenetic alopecia linked to COVID-19 severity; drugs reducing androgen receptor activation may help.
research Idiopathic Hirsutism*
The document concludes that more research is needed to understand excessive hair growth in women with normal hormone levels and regular ovulation.
research Hormonal treatment of acne vulgaris: an update
Hormonal treatments are effective for severe or persistent acne and should be used with other acne therapies, considering potential side effects.
research Gonadal dysgenesis and bone metabolism
Gonadal dysgenesis, like Turner's and Klinefelter's syndromes, negatively affects bone health, but hormone treatments can help.
research Female Androgenetic Alopecia: An Update on Diagnosis and Management
FAGA diagnosis uses blood tests and trichoscopy, with treatments like topical minoxidil, oral anti-androgens, and hormone-modulating drugs.
research Calcineurin/Nfatc1 signaling links skin stem cell quiescence to hormonal signaling during pregnancy and lactation
Hormones during pregnancy and lactation keep skin stem cells inactive, preventing hair growth.
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 Body composition changes and inhibition of fat development in vivo implicates androgen in regulation of stem cell lineage allocation
Androgen is important in controlling stem cell differentiation, reducing fat development, and increasing lean mass.
research Dihydrotestosterone inhibits hair growth in mice by inhibiting insulin-like growth factor-I production in dermal papillae
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) stops hair growth in mice by lowering a growth factor important for hair.
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 Androgens induce sebaceous differentiation in sebocyte cells expressing a stable functional androgen receptor
Androgens cause oil-producing skin cells with androgen receptors to mature and produce more oil.
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 Steroidogenic Isoenzymes in Human Hair and Their Potential Role in Androgenetic Alopecia
Steroidogenic isoenzymes may help improve treatments for common hair loss.
research Progesterone, neurosteroids, and the hormonal basis of catamenial epilepsy
Progesterone and related compounds may help control seizures linked to the menstrual cycle but have limitations that need addressing.
research Gene expression of type 2 17β hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase in scalp hairs of hirsute women
Hirsute women have lower type 2 17β-HSD enzyme levels, which improve with treatment.
research Microarray analysis of androgenetic and senescent alopecia: Comparison of gene expression shows two distinct profiles
The conclusion is that androgenetic alopecia and senescent alopecia have unique gene changes, suggesting different causes and potential treatments for these hair loss types.
research Hormonal therapies for acne
Hormonal treatments can improve acne, but they come with potential side effects and risks.
