30-60 / 1000+ resultsresearch Estrogens
research Local synthesis and effect of sex steroids in human skin and the hair follicle and hormonal effects on the wound healing response
Local estrogen synthesis in skin may improve wound healing.
research Estrogen regulates the expression of retinoic acid synthesis enzymes and binding proteins in mouse skin
Estrogen affects how vitamin A is processed in mouse skin, which may impact acne treatment, hair growth, and skin defense.
research AN ATTEMPT TO ASSESS THE MAGNITUDE OF ENDOGENOUS ANDROGEN PRODUCTION IN A CASE OF THE ADRENOGENITAL SYNDROME*
A 17-year-old female with adrenogenital syndrome produces very high levels of androgens, which prevent complete feminization despite high estrogen doses.
research Estrone Sulfate Source of Estrone and Estradiol Formation in Isolated Human Hair Roots: Identification of a Pathway Linked to Hair Growth Phase and Subject to Site-, Gender-, and Age-Related Modulations
Estrogen formation in hair roots affects hair growth and varies by site, gender, and age.
research 17β-Estradiol Enhances Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Production and Dihydrotestosterone Antagonizes the Enhancement via the Regulation of Adenylate Cyclase in Differentiated THP-1 Cells
Estrogen increases blood vessel growth factor production, while testosterone blocks this increase.
research Ovine placental steroid synthesis and metabolism in late gestation†
Diet changes hormone levels in pregnant ewes by affecting metabolism, not placental synthesis.
research Estrogen modulates mesenchymal-epidermal interactions in the adult nipple
Estrogen is important for keeping adult mouse nipple skin healthy by controlling certain cell signals.
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 Biosynthesis of Dihydrotestosterone by a Pathway that Does Not Require Testosterone as an Intermediate in the SZ95 Sebaceous Gland Cell Line
Dihydrotestosterone can be made from dehydroepiandrosterone in skin cells without needing testosterone.
research 17β-Estradiol Increases APE1/Ref-1 Secretion in Vascular Endothelial Cells and Ovariectomized Mice: Involvement of Calcium-Dependent Exosome Pathway
17β-estradiol boosts APE1/Ref-1 secretion in cells and mice via a calcium-dependent pathway.
research PSAT217 Estrogen Deficiency as a Cause of Decreased 1- alpha - hydroxylase Activity
Estrogen deficiency can reduce the enzyme activity needed to activate vitamin D.
research The Organ-Maintained Human Sebaceous Gland
Human sebaceous glands can grow normally for a week without certain growth factors, and adding estrogen reduces their oil production without affecting cell growth.
research The effects of synthetic 19-norprogestins on osteoblastic cell function are mediated by their non-phenolic reduced metabolites
Synthetic 19-norprogestins promote bone cell growth and function through their non-phenolic metabolites.
research Influence of estrogens on the androgen metabolism in different subunits of human hair follicles.
Estrogens can reduce DHT production in hair follicles, but are less effective than finasteride and progesterone.
research Intracrine androgen biosynthesis, metabolism and action revisited
The document concludes that blocking the internal pathways that create androgens might help treat cancers that depend on sex hormones.
research 6 Peripheral androgens and the role of androstanediol glucuronide
Androstanediol glucuronide is a reliable marker for hirsutism in women.
research Steroidogenesis of the testis – new genes and pathways
New genes and pathways are important for testosterone production and male sexual development.
research Biology of estrogens in skin: implications for skin aging
Estrogens can improve skin aging but carry risks; more research is needed on safer treatments.
research 138 Characterization of xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes of a reconstructed human epidermal model from adult hair follicles
The reconstructed skin model from hair follicles functions like human skin in processing chemicals and can be used to test ingredient safety.
research Hyperandrogenism in a postmenopausal woman: a rare case of ectopic adrenal cortical gland
A postmenopausal woman's excess male hormone symptoms were caused by a rare adrenal gland tissue in her ovary.
research Locally Synthetized 17-β-Estradiol Reverses Amyloid-β-42-Induced Hippocampal Long-Term Potentiation Deficits
A brain-made hormone can protect against memory-related brain damage caused by harmful proteins.
research Biological activity of novel progesterone derivatives having a bulky ester side chains at C-3
The more lipophilic the progesterone derivative, the better it binds to androgen receptors and has antiandrogenic effects.
research The Effects of Estradiol, Androgens and the Selective Estrogen Modulators: Ospemifene, Raloxifene and Tamoxifen on Explant Cultures of Human Breast Tissue
Including androgens in hormone therapy may lower breast cancer risk.
research The profile of steroid hormones in human fetal and adult ovaries
Fetal ovaries produce different hormones than adult ovaries, and endocrine-disrupting chemicals may affect this process.
research Palmitoylethanolamide Stimulation Induces Allopregnanolone Synthesis in C6 Cells and Primary Astrocytes: Involvement of Peroxisome-Proliferator Activated Receptor-α
PEA boosts allopregnanolone production and reduces oxidative stress in brain cells.
research 7472 Estrogen Monotherapy for Testosterone Suppression in Gender Diverse Patients
Estrogen alone may effectively suppress testosterone in some transfeminine individuals.
research The role of estrogen in cutaneous ageing and repair
Estrogen helps improve skin aging and healing, especially in post-menopausal women.
research 17α‐estradiol induces aromatase activity in intact human anagen hair follicles ex vivo
17α-estradiol boosts aromatase activity in female hair follicles, potentially helping with hair loss.
