960-990 / 1000+ resultsresearch Testosterone in Transgender Population
research Neurosteroids and Epileptogenesis
Neurosteroids may help prevent seizures and slow epilepsy progression.
research Current concepts in aesthetic endocrinology
Estrogens can slow skin aging after menopause, but can't restore youthful skin.
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 Identification of novel glucocorticoid receptor-regulated genes involved in epidermal homeostasis and hair follicle differentiation
Glucocorticoid receptors help regulate genes important for skin health and hair growth.
research Cutaneous Manifestations and Their Relationship with Serum Testosterone and DHEAS Levels in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: A Cross‑Sectional Clinical Study
Hirsutism and acne indicate high androgen levels in women with PCOS, and early treatment can improve symptoms and quality of life.
research 895 Isoproterenol directs human hair follicle-associated pluripotent (hHAP) stem cells to differentiate to cardiac muscle cells
Human hair follicles can be used to create heart muscle cells.
research Central 5-alpha reduction of testosterone is required for testosterone's inhibition of the hypothalamo-pituitary–adrenal axis response to restraint stress in adult male rats
Testosterone needs to be converted to DHT to reduce stress response in male rats.
research Consecutive Cyproterone Acetate and Estradiol Treatment in Late-Pubertal Transgender Female Adolescents
Cyproterone acetate treatment is safe and causes mild feminization, which increases with added estrogen.
research Predominant expression of 5 alpha-reductase type 1 in pubic skin from normal subjects and hirsute patients.
The main enzyme found in pubic skin that could be targeted to treat excessive hair growth is 5 alpha-R2.
research More about X‐linked testicular feminization of the mouse as a noninducible (is) mutation of a regulatory locus: 5α‐androstan‐3α‐17ß‐diol as the true inducer of kidney alcohol dehydrogenase and ß‐glucuronidase
A specific metabolite, not a receptor protein, triggers the production of certain kidney enzymes, but this process is disrupted in mice with a mutation causing testicular feminization.
research ADRENOCORTICAL FUNCTION IN PUBERTY Serum ACTH, Cortisol and Dehydroepiandrosterone in Girls and Boys
Girls have higher DHEA levels earlier in puberty than boys, indicating earlier development.
research EFFECTS OF HORMONAL THERAPY IN TRANSGENDERS
Hormonal therapy for transgender individuals carries health risks but is a personal choice.
research Adrenal 21-hydroxylase gene mutations in Slovenian hyperandrogenic women: evaluation of corticotrophin stimulation and HLA polymorphisms in screening for carrier status
The study concluded that testing hormone levels after stimulation is not reliable for identifying carriers of 21-hydroxylase deficiency; genetic testing is necessary.
research Alert to US physicians: DHEA, widely used as an OTC androgen supplement, may exacerbate COVID-19
The over-the-counter supplement DHEA could make COVID-19 worse, especially in diabetics and people with G6PD deficiency.
research 013 Prostaglandin D2 enhances testosterone metabolism by ROS-mediated altered redox potential in keratinocytes
Prostaglandin D2 increases testosterone production in skin cells through a process involving reactive oxygen species, which could be a new target for treating hair loss and other skin conditions driven by testosterone.
research Effects of finasteride, a 5 alpha-reductase inhibitor, on circulating androgens and gonadotropin secretion in hirsute women.
Finasteride reduces dihydrotestosterone, increases testosterone, and may treat hirsutism in women.
research Crystal Structure and Synthesis of 17α-Acetoxy-pregn-4,6-diene-3,20-dione
The compound was successfully made and shows potential for treating prostate cancer.
research New Therapeutic Approach to the Hirsute Patient
Spironolactone can reduce hair growth in women with hirsutism.
research Postmenopausal hyperandrogenism due to an ovarian sex cord-stromal tumour causing elevated dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate: a case report
An ovarian tumor can cause high male hormones in postmenopausal women.
research The Hair Follicle as an Estrogen Target and Source
Estrogens significantly influence hair growth by interacting with receptors in hair follicles and may help regulate the hair growth cycle.
research Spironolactone in combination drug therapy for unresponsive hirsutism
Combination drug therapy is effective for hirsutism that doesn't improve with just one medication.
research 6516 A Curious Case of Cushing Syndrome
A single steroid injection can cause serious side effects like Cushing Syndrome.
research Stress-Induced Deoxycorticosterone-Derived Neurosteroids Modulate GABAAReceptor Function and Seizure Susceptibility
Stress increases neurosteroids that help prevent seizures.
research Clinical applications of antiandrogens
Antiandrogens are effective for conditions like prostate cancer and skin issues, but more research is needed to confirm their benefits and minimize side effects.
research Effects of Abuse of Anabolic Androgenic Steroids on Iraqi Athletes
Abuse of anabolic steroids in Iraqi athletes leads to negative effects on hormones, liver and kidney function, blood sugar, and cholesterol levels.
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 change hair growth genes, helping treat hair loss.
research Anxiolytic activity of progesterone in progesterone receptor knockout mice
Progesterone reduces anxiety without needing progesterone receptors.
research Interventions for Hirsutism
Oral contraceptives help mild hirsutism, while flutamide and spironolactone help severe cases.
