330-360 / 1000+ results research A high-performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry assay of the androgenic neurosteroid 3α-androstanediol (5α-androstane-3α,17β-diol) in plasma
Testosterone increases 3α-androstanediol levels, which can be blocked by finasteride.
research 1370 17β-estradiol may control human HF growth also via up-regulating the expression of cannabinoid receptor type1 expression
17β-estradiol may help hair growth by increasing cannabinoid receptor type 1.
research Postmenopausal hyperandrogenism of ovarian origin
Postmenopausal women with excess male hormones may have ovarian tumors, and surgery usually cures them.
research Hair regrowth in a male patient with extensive androgenetic alopecia on estrogen therapy
Estrogen therapy helped regrow hair in a bald man.
research Biomimetic and Estrogenic Plant-Based Nanofibrous Wound Dressings
Soy-based wound dressings can speed up healing and tissue regeneration.
research Prostaglandin D2 Uses Components of ROS Signaling to Enhance Testosterone Production in Keratinocytes
Prostaglandin D2 increases testosterone production in skin cells through a process involving reactive oxygen species, and antioxidants may help treat hair loss.
research Altered Hormone and Bioactive Lipid Plasma Profile in Rodent Models of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome Revealed by Targeted Mass Spectrometry
Rodent models of PCOS show some similar and some different lipid changes compared to humans.
research Sex Hormones and Related Compounds, Including Hormonal Contraceptives
Hormonal contraceptives and related compounds can increase health risks like thrombosis and affect sexual function.
research Testosterone Metabolism in Human Skin Cells in vitro and Its Interaction with Estradiol and Dutasteride
Different skin cells process testosterone differently, and certain drugs can change this process, possibly helping treat acne and hair loss.
research Crystal Structure and Synthesis of 17α-Acetoxy-pregn-4,6-diene-3,20-dione
The compound was successfully made and shows potential for treating prostate cancer.
research Distinctive features of steroid hormone metabolism in female patients with androgenic alopecia
Women with hair thinning have disrupted steroid hormone levels, but this doesn't often show as other health issues. More research is needed on hormone balance in this condition.
research Allopregnanolone promotes proliferation and differential gene expression in human glioblastoma cells
Allopregnanolone increases growth and changes gene activity in human brain cancer cells.
research Epigenetic Effects of Gender-Affirming Hormone Treatment: A Pilot Study of the ESR2 Promoter’s Methylation in AFAB People
Testosterone treatment may change estrogen receptor methylation in AFAB individuals.
research Progestogens in menopausal hormone therapy
Progestogens are essential in menopausal hormone therapy to prevent uterine cancer and must be chosen carefully based on individual needs.
research Hydroxylation of dehydroepiandrosterone in human scalp hair folhcles
The enzyme system in hair follicles is similar to the liver's and is affected by certain inhibitors.
research The Rise in Adrenal Androgen Biosynthesis: Adrenarche
Adrenarche increases adrenal androgens around age 6, affecting hair growth and development.
research 090 Reactive lipids from the secretome of senescent fibroblasts modify the extracellular matrix with functional consequences for resident cells
Reactive lipids from aging cells change the extracellular matrix, affecting cell function and inflammation.
research Hiperandrogenismo tras la menopausia
A postmenopausal woman's increased male hormone levels were successfully treated with surgery.
research Glioblastoma cells express crucial enzymes involved in androgen synthesis: 3β‐hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, 17‐20α‐hydroxylase, 17β‐hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase and 5α‐reductase
Glioblastoma cells can make androgens, which might help the tumor grow.
research Sequential estrogen-progestin addition to gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist suppression for the chronic treatment of ovarian hyperandrogenism: a pilot study.
The treatment effectively reduced hair growth and was safe for patients with PCOS, but it needs better bleeding control.
research Roles of p38- and c-jun NH2-terminal kinase-mediated pathways in 2-methoxyestradiol-induced p53 induction and apoptosis
2-Methoxyestradiol causes cancer cell death by activating specific pathways, but androgens can block this effect.
