research Treatment of Hair Loss
Finasteride and minoxidil are effective for hair loss, but continued research is needed for better treatments.
research Sex differences in the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis’ response to stress: an important role for gonadal hormones
Male and female bodies respond differently to stress, influenced by hormones and development stages, with implications for stress-related diseases.
research Localization, Age- and Site-Dependent Expression, and Regulation of 11β-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase Type 1 in Skin
Increased 11β-HSD1 activity in skin may contribute to aging and could be targeted to reduce aging effects.
research Female Pseudohermaphroditism Caused by a Novel Homozygous Missense Mutation of the GR Gene
A new gene mutation causes female pseudohermaphroditism due to glucocorticoid resistance.

Lack of 5α-Reductase type 1 can lead to insulin resistance and liver problems.
research Steroid Biomarkers and Genetic Studies Reveal Inactivating Mutations in Hexose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase in Patients with Cortisone Reductase Deficiency
Certain mutations in the H6PD gene cause Cortisone Reductase Deficiency by affecting hormone production.
research Influence of external factors on hair cortisol concentrations
External factors can significantly affect hair cortisol levels, so it's not always a reliable stress marker.
research Nanocarriers for optimizing the balance between interfollicular permeation and follicular uptake of topically applied clobetasol to minimize adverse effects
Nanocapsules can improve clobetasol delivery to hair follicles, reducing side effects.
research The Modulation of Aromatase and Estrogen Receptor Alpha in Cultured Human Dermal Papilla Cells by Dexamethasone: A Novel Mechanism for Selective Action of Estrogen via Estrogen Receptor Beta?
Dexamethasone may influence hair growth by altering estrogen receptor activity in hair cells.
research Phenotypic profiling of parents with cryptic nonclassic congenital adrenal hyperplasia: findings in 145 unrelated families
Some parents have a mild form of congenital adrenal hyperplasia without symptoms, and they usually don't need treatment.
research Chrousos syndrome: from molecular pathogenesis to therapeutic management
The review suggests thorough evaluation and genetic testing for proper diagnosis and treatment of Chrousos syndrome.
research Skin steroidogenesis in health and disease
The skin's ability to produce hormones is linked to various skin conditions, and better understanding this process could lead to new treatments.
research Non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia
Non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia is a common disorder causing symptoms like acne and infertility, and it's managed based on symptoms, not just test results. Treatment can improve fertility and reduce miscarriage risk.
research Chronic Stress Suppresses the Expression of Cutaneous Hypothalamic–Pituitary–Adrenocortical Axis Elements and Melanogenesis
Chronic stress can reduce skin pigmentation.
research Adrenal Disorders and the Paediatric Brain: Pathophysiological Considerations and Clinical Implications
Adrenal disorders can cause lasting brain and behavior issues in children.
research Demodicosis in ferrets (Mustela putorius furo)
Amitraz effectively treated ferrets with demodicosis without side effects.
research Determination of cortisone and cortisol in human scalp hair using an improved LC-MS/MS-based method
Cortisone in hair is a more reliable indicator of stress hormone exposure than cortisol.
research Management of CAH during pregnancy
With careful management, people with congenital adrenal hyperplasia can have successful pregnancies and become parents.
research Keratinocyte-Specific Onset of Serine Protease BSSP Expression in Experimental Carcinogenesis
BSSP may help skin tumors grow and could be a marker or target for skin cancer treatment.
research Hormonal activity in commonly used Black hair care products: evaluating hormone disruption as a plausible contribution to health disparities
Common Black hair care products may affect hormone levels and potentially impact health, especially in reproductive and metabolic areas.
research Non-canonical dimerization of the androgen receptor and other nuclear receptors: implications for human disease
Mutations in certain receptors can cause diseases and offer new treatment options.
research Hormone therapy in acne
Hormonal treatment is effective for women with acne not helped by usual treatments, especially if they have hormonal imbalances.
research Systemic lupus erythematosus in a filly.
SLE should be considered in horses with immune-related skin issues.
research Multiple readout assay for hormonal (androgenic and antiandrogenic) and cytotoxic activity of plant and fungal extracts based on differential prostate cancer cell line behavior
The study created a test that found hormonal and toxic effects in plant and fungal extracts using prostate cancer cells.
research Immunoregulatory mechanisms and stress hormones in psoriasis (part 1)
Stress hormones like cortisol may trigger psoriasis flare-ups.
research Clinical Features of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Patients Complicated With Evans Syndrome
SLE patients with Evans syndrome often show blood issues and need careful monitoring and treatment.

research Reproductive outcomes of female patients with congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase defi ciency
Women with congenital adrenal hyperplasia have lower fertility, but with proper treatment, they can conceive successfully.
research Androgenic Alopecia
The document concludes that treating female hair loss should target reducing excess androgen and blocking its effects on hair follicles, with the best treatments being hormonal therapy, adrenal suppression, and topical minoxidil.
