Some patients taking antipsychotic medications experience skin reactions, ranging from mild to severe.
research Recent advances in the molecular mechanisms determining tissue sensitivity to glucocorticoids: novel mutations, circadian rhythm and ligand-induced repression of the human glucocorticoid receptor
New findings explain how genetic changes, body clocks, and certain molecules affect tissue response to stress hormones.
research Changes in the PCOS phenotype with age
PCOS symptoms change with age; younger women have higher androgen levels and less metabolic issues, while older women face more metabolic challenges despite milder PCOS symptoms.
research The control of hair growth: An overview
Hair growth is influenced by interactions between skin layers, growth factors, and hormones, but the exact mechanisms are not fully understood.
research Unmet Medical Needs in Chronic, Non-communicable Inflammatory Skin Diseases
There are still challenges in diagnosing and treating chronic skin diseases, but there is hope for future improvements.
research Potential targets in the discovery of new hair growth promoters for androgenic alopecia
The document concludes that targeting 5α-reductase, the androgen receptor, and hair growth genes, along with using compounds with anti-androgenic properties, could lead to more effective hair loss treatments.
research Gene Expression During Drosophila Wing Morphogenesis and Differentiation
Key genes are crucial for Drosophila wing development and could be insecticide targets.
research The dihydrotestosterone (DHT) hypothesis of prostate cancer and its therapeutic implications
The document suggests that targeting the hormone DHT could be a more effective treatment for prostate cancer than targeting testosterone.

Some dermatological medications can impair male fertility, so consult a doctor before trying to conceive.
research Nonclassic adrenal hyperplasia
Nonclassic adrenal hyperplasia is a genetic condition that can cause early puberty and fertility problems, treated with specific steroids.
research Mucocutaneous side effects of antineoplastic chemotherapy
Chemotherapy often causes hair loss, nail changes, and mouth issues, but these are usually manageable.
research Management of Hirsutism
Antiandrogens, particularly flutamide and CPA, are most effective for treating hirsutism, with long-term use needed for best results.
research Male androgenetic alopecia
DHT, a testosterone byproduct, causes male pattern baldness.
research Cutaneous manifestations of HIV infection other than Kaposi's sarcoma: Clinical and histologic aspects

research Experimental protein-energy malnutrition in baby baboons
Malnutrition severely harms growth and development in young baboons.
research 8 Hair follicles and associated glands as androgen targets
Androgens like testosterone affect hair growth and oil production differently across body parts and individuals.
research ANTIANDROGEN TREATMENT OF POLYCYSTIC OVARY SYNDROME
Antiandrogen treatments combined with oral contraceptives can help manage hair growth and hair loss in women with PCOS.
research A prospective randomized trial comparing finasteride to spironolactone in the treatment of hirsute women.
Finasteride and spironolactone both reduce hirsutism, but finasteride lowers androgen levels more.
research The slick hair coat locus maps to chromosome 20 in Senepol-derived cattle
The gene for slick hair in Senepol cattle is located on chromosome 20 and may involve the SRD5A2 gene.
research Molecular Genetic and Endocrine Mechanisms of Hair Growth
Hormones and their receptors, especially androgens, play a key role in hair growth and disorders like baldness.
research Finasteride for female androgenetic alopecia
Finasteride increases hair density in female androgenetic alopecia, but individual results may vary.
