research THE ENDOCRINE SYSTEM AND HAIR GROWTH IN THE RAT
Male rats grow hair faster than females, and certain hormones can slow or slightly increase hair growth, but not significantly beyond natural rates.
research Androgen replacement therapy in women
Androgen replacement therapy can improve libido and mood in women with severe androgen deficiency, but more research is needed on its long-term safety.
research Finasteride in The Treatment of Female Androgenic Alopecia
Finasteride may help postmenopausal women with hair loss but is not effective for all and should be used cautiously in premenopausal women.
research Hormonal regulation in male androgenetic alopecia—Sex hormones and beyond: Evidence from recent genetic studies
Hormones and genes affect hair growth and male baldness.
research Effect of testosterone and its antagonists on knee range of motion through RXFP1 and RXFP2 regulation in rat model (911.12)
Testosterone reduces knee movement, while flutamide and finasteride increase it.
research Effects of Flutamide, a pure antiandrogen, on endocrine parameters, in the adult female rat
Flutamide, an antiandrogen, has minimal impact on female rat endocrine systems and does not significantly change their reproductive cycles.
research Relationship of androgens to female hirsutism and infertility.
High androgen levels often cause female hirsutism and infertility.
research Finasteride blocks progesterone synthesis in MA-10 Leydig tumor cells
research Critical Developmental Periods for Effects on Male Rat Genitalia Induced by Finasteride, a 5α-Reductase Inhibitor
Finasteride affects male rat genitalia development, causing abnormalities during specific pregnancy days.
research Disruption of androgen metabolism, regulation and effects : involvement of steroidogenic enzymes
Anabolic steroids and inflammation can disrupt androgen metabolism, potentially causing health issues.
research [Toward an effective treatment of androgenetic alopecia?].
research The premature catagen induced by estrogen was accompanied with advance apoptosis of precortex cells.
Estrogen speeds up hair follicle cell death, causing early hair growth cycle changes, but only if a specific receptor is present.
research The anti-androgen combination, flutamide plus finasteride, paradoxically suppressed LH and androgen concentrations in pregnant spotted hyenas, but not in males
Flutamide and finasteride reduced sex hormones in pregnant hyenas, but increased them in males.
research Clinical Case Seminar: Postmenopausal androgen excess-challenges in diagnostic work-up and management of ovarian thecosis
The conclusion is that removing both ovaries is the best treatment for excess male hormones in postmenopausal women, with medication as another option, and managing insulin resistance is important for diagnosis and treatment.
research Inhibition of 5α Reductase Impairs Cognitive Performance, Alters Dendritic Morphology and Increases Tau Phosphorylation in the Hippocampus of Male 3xTg-AD Mice
Blocking 5α-reductase can harm memory and brain structure, and increase harmful brain changes in male mice used for Alzheimer's disease research.
research Change in hair growth-related gene expression profile in human isolated hair follicles induced by 5-alpha reductase inhibitors – dutasteride and finasteride – in the presence of testosterone
Dutasteride and finasteride can help increase hair growth gene expression but need further improvement.
research Sexual dimorphism following in vitro ischemia in the response to neurosteroids and mechanisms of injury
Male tissue has more cell death than female tissue after ischemia, and some neurosteroids only protect female cells.
research HORMONAL THERAPY IN DERMATOLOGY
Hormonal therapy is a treatment option for acne, the only medical treatment for hirsutism, and the most promising for androgenetic alopecia.
research Facial hair treatment in transgender and gender diverse adults: a survey of barriers and satisfaction
Facial hair is crucial for gender affirmation, but many face financial barriers to achieving desired results.
research Cost-effective therapy in patients with idiopathic hirsutism
Cheap treatments for excessive hair growth in women can improve symptoms by 35-40% after one year.
research In Vitro Main Pathways of Steroid Action in Cultured Hair Follicle Cells: Vascular Approach
Steroids, particularly estrogens and 5α-reductase inhibitors, affect blood vessel-related hair growth processes in hair follicle cells.
research Inhibition of the Androgen Receptor by Antisense Oligonucleotides Regulates the Biological Activity of Androgens in SZ95 Sebocytes
Blocking the androgen receptor in skin cells reduces their growth response to male hormones, suggesting a possible treatment for skin conditions linked to androgens.
research Testosterone therapy for sexual dysfunction in postmenopausal women
Testosterone therapy can help improve sexual desire and function in postmenopausal women but may cause side effects and is not FDA-approved for this use.
research Sex‐dependent responsiveness of hippocampal neurons to sex neurosteroids: A role of Arc/Arg3.1
Sex hormones affect brain cells differently in males and females.
research A Role for Steroid 5 alpha-reductase 1 in Vascular Remodelling During Endometrial Decidualisation
The enzyme 5α-reductase is important for proper blood vessel development during the fertility-related transformation of the uterus lining.
research Attenuating 5α-pregnane-3α-ol-20-one formation in the hippocampus of female rats increases pentylenetetrazole-induced seizures
Reducing 3α,5α-THP in the hippocampus increases seizures in female rats.
research Different synaptic stimulation patterns influence the local androgenic and estrogenic neurosteroid availability triggering hippocampal synaptic plasticity in the male rat
The availability of certain hormones and specific stimulation patterns affect long-term synaptic changes in the male rat brain.
research Disorders linked to insufficient androgen action in male children
Male children's genital development issues can be caused by genetic mutations or environmental factors affecting hormone action.
research Hirsutism and virilisation.
Hirsutism is common body hair growth due to genetics and hormones, and while not a disease, it can be distressing; virilisation includes hirsutism with other male traits and needs medical attention.
