research Glucocorticoid Receptor Antagonism Improves Glucose Metabolism in a Mouse Model of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Blocking glucocorticoid receptors improves glucose metabolism in a PCOS mouse model.
research Regulation of the metabolic phenotype of human hepatocytes by glucocorticoids and androgens
Glucocorticoids reduce fat production in liver cells, while androgens increase it in females; manipulating certain enzymes can influence these effects.
research 5α-Reductase Type 2 Regulates Glucocorticoid Action and Metabolic Phenotype in Human Hepatocytes
Manipulating 5α-reductase type 2 can affect liver fat production and glucocorticoid effects.

Metformin can help prevent the side effects of glucocorticoid medications on metabolism.
research 5α-Reduced glucocorticoids: a story of natural selection
Natural 5α-reduced glucocorticoids might be anti-inflammatory with fewer side effects than current options.
research 5α-Reductase inhibitors alter steroid metabolism and may contribute to insulin resistance, diabetes, metabolic syndrome and vascular disease: a medical hypothesis
Some hair loss and prostate drugs might increase the risk of diabetes and heart disease.
research Metabolic dysfunction in female mice with disruption of 5α-reductase 1
Female mice with disrupted 5α-reductase 1 had significant metabolic issues, including stress response problems, insulin resistance, liver fat buildup, and obesity.
research Inflammation dynamically regulates steroid hormone metabolism and action within macrophages in rheumatoid arthritis
Inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis increases steroid activation in cells, reducing inflammation.
research Expression of estrogen, androgen, and glucocorticoid receptors in recent striae distensae
Hormonal changes in skin may cause stretch marks.
research Primary Generalized Glucocorticoid Resistance and Hypersensitivity
The conclusion is that genetic changes in the glucocorticoid receptor can lead to conditions affecting stress response, immunity, and metabolism, requiring personalized treatment.
research The biology and clinical application of systemic glucocorticoids
Glucocorticoids are powerful anti-inflammatory drugs that must be used carefully to avoid serious side effects.
research Skin and metabolic syndrome: A review of the possible associations
Certain medications can impact metabolic syndrome, with some improving conditions like high blood sugar and others having no effect.
research The Biological Actions of Dehydroepiandrosterone Involves Multiple Receptors
DHEA affects multiple receptors and may help with metabolic issues, but its safety and effectiveness in humans are unclear.
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 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.
research Pediatric adrenocortical carcinoma complicated by uric acid nephrolithiasis: a unique case report
Thorough evaluations and conservative management can lead to positive outcomes in pediatric adrenocortical carcinoma.
research Non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency revisited: an update with a special focus on adolescent and adult women
The update highlights that non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia is common in women with excess male hormones, requires specific hormone tests for diagnosis, and has various treatment options depending on age and symptoms.
research 5α-Reductase Type 1 Deficiency or Inhibition Predisposes to Insulin Resistance, Hepatic Steatosis, and Liver Fibrosis in Rodents
Lack of 5α-Reductase type 1 can lead to insulin resistance and liver problems.
