People with decreased kidney function have higher levels of ethyl glucuronide in their hair.
research A Study on Photostability of Ethyl Glucuronide in Hair Irradiated under Artificial Sunlight
Ethyl glucuronide levels in hair can change when exposed to artificial sunlight, depending on hair color and thickness.
research 3 alpha, 17 beta-androstanediol glucuronide in plasma. A marker of androgen action in idiopathic hirsutism.
High levels of 3 alpha-diol glucuronide in the blood are a marker of increased androgen action in women with excessive hair growth of unknown cause.
research Correlation of Serum 3α-Androstanediol Glucuronide with Acne and Chest Hair Density in Men
Higher levels of a specific hormone are linked to more chest hair and acne in men.
research Evaluation of glucuronide metabolite stability in dried blood spots
Dried blood spots can be as stable as frozen liquid samples for storing certain metabolites.
research Evidence of Increased 3‐Alpha‐Androstanediol Glucuronide in Female Pattern Alopecia: A Cross‐Sectional Observational Study Evaluating Ovarian, Adrenal, and Peripheral Androgens
Higher levels of 3α-diol G are linked to more severe female pattern hair loss.
research O13: Interpretation of hair ethyl glucuronide inter-individual factors from large population dataset
Older age increases positive hair alcohol test results, and chest hair is a good alternative for testing; season affects results, with higher levels in winter.
research Female androgenic alopecia. The 3 alpha,17 beta-androstanediol glucuronide/sex hormone binding globulin ratio as a possible marker for female pattern baldness
Women with more 3α,17β-androstanediol glucuronide compared to sex hormone binding globulin are more likely to have female pattern baldness.
research Is 3α, 17β-androstanediol-glucuronide a diagnostic marker in women with androgenic manifestations?
3α, 17β-androstanediol-glucuronide is not a useful marker for androgen excess but may help monitor certain treatments.
research BIOACTIVE AND PERIPHERAL ANDROGENS IN PREPUBERTAL SIMPLE HYPERTRICHOSIS
Girls with prepubertal simple hypertrichosis have higher dihydrotestosterone (DHT) levels.
research In vivo Pharmacokinetic Interactions of Finasteride and Identification of Novel Metabolites
Finasteride is mainly broken down by the enzyme CYP3A4, affecting its levels in the body.
research Clinical and Biochemical Parameters of Androgen Action in Normal Healthy CaucasianVersusChinese Subjects
Caucasian men have more chest hair and higher levels of certain androgen products than Chinese men.
research Effect of Leuprolide and Dexamethasone on Hair Growth and Hormone Levels in Hirsute Women: The Relative Importance of the Ovary and the Adrenal in the Pathogenesis of Hirsutism*
The ovary mainly causes high testosterone in PCO, while the adrenal gland is the main source in IH.
research Androgen metabolism in hirsute patients treated with cyproterone acetate
Cyproterone acetate effectively reduced hair growth in hirsute patients by lowering androgen levels and altering androgen metabolism.
research Clinical relevance of testosterone and dihydrotestosterone metabolism in women
Testosterone and dihydrotestosterone play a role in women's health issues like excess hair and baldness, and treatments blocking these hormones may help.
