Early diagnosis and treatment of NCCAH can improve symptoms and fertility.
research The clinical development of a 5α-reductase inhibitor, finasteride
Finasteride effectively treats BPH, but needs more trials to understand potential.
research Atherogenic index of plasma in non-obese women with androgenetic alopecia
Non-obese women with hair loss have higher heart disease risk.
research Role of Autonomic Dysfunction and Relation with Diastolic Dysfunction in Resistant Hypertensives
Autonomic dysfunction is common in hypertensives but may not cause diastolic dysfunction in resistant hypertension.
research Metabolic syndrome in androgenetic alopecia patients; Is serum regulated on activation, normal T‐cell expressed and secreted the missing link?
Possible link between hair loss and metabolic syndrome, with RANTES as a potential clue.
research Iatrogenic androgen and estrogen excess in a postmenopausal woman presenting with facial erythema, acne, and hirsutism
A postmenopausal woman's facial redness, acne, and excess hair were caused by too much hormone therapy for insomnia, but improved after stopping the treatment.
research Treatment of Hirsutism With Spironolactone
Spironolactone is a safe and effective treatment for reducing excessive hair growth in women.
research Finasteride
Finasteride treats enlarged prostate, shrinks it, improves urination, but may cause sexual dysfunction and isn't for women or children.
research Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone Agonist Treatment in Postmenopausal Women with Hyperandrogenism of Ovarian Origin
Treatment with a hormone agonist can reduce excess male hormones in postmenopausal women without surgery.
research Improving selective androgen receptor modulator discovery and preclinical evaluation
We need better ways to test and understand SARMs to make safer and more effective treatments.
research 263 (-)-cannabidiol differentially influences hair growth
CBD can either promote or inhibit hair growth depending on the concentration used.
research Hypoparathyroidism as the single major component for decades of autoimmune polyglandular syndrome type 1
A man with hypoparathyroidism had other health issues that led to a diagnosis of a rare autoimmune disorder, APS-1.
research Mister XX
Most 46XX CAH patients have female identity, but a few identify as male and may need treatment and surgery.
research Post Menopausal Hyperandrogenism: A Case of a Steroid Cell Tumor of the Ovary
A woman's severe hormone imbalance after menopause led to finding a rare ovarian tumor, treated by surgery.
research A benign cause of hyperandrogenism in a postmenopausal woman
A postmenopausal woman's excessive hair growth and hair loss were due to a non-cancerous ovarian condition, treated successfully with surgery.
research Epicardial fat thickness in children with classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia
Children with classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia have thicker heart fat and more heart and blood vessel risk factors, especially if their condition is not well-controlled.
research Dienogest
Dienogest combined with ethinylestradiol is a highly effective birth control that improves menstrual symptoms and has manageable side effects.
research Androgen Conjugates: Physiology and Clinical Significance
Androgen conjugates might be better indicators of skin sensitivity to hormones in women with excessive hair growth.
research Androgen Therapy in Women: An Endocrine Society Clinical Practice Guideline
The Endocrine Society advised against routine testosterone therapy for women, citing a need for more research on long-term safety and a clear definition of androgen deficiency.
research Overexpression of aldo-keto reductase 1C3 (AKR1C3) in LNCaP cells diverts androgen metabolism towards testosterone resulting in resistance to the 5α-reductase inhibitor finasteride
Too much AKR1C3 enzyme causes resistance to finasteride by increasing testosterone.
research Biosynthesis of Dihydrotestosterone by a Pathway that Does Not Require Testosterone as an Intermediate in the SZ95 Sebaceous Gland Cell Line
Dihydrotestosterone can be made from dehydroepiandrosterone in skin cells without needing testosterone.
research Revisiting hyper- and hypo-androgenism by tandem mass spectrometry
The document concludes that using LC-MS/MS for measuring androgens is more accurate than older methods, but it needs careful validation and standardized references to be most effective.
research Advances in male hormone substitution therapy
New treatments for low male hormones improved sexual function and mood but had unclear risks, especially for older men.
research Finasteride: The First 5α-Reductase Inhibitor
Finasteride treats enlarged prostate and baldness, but may cause limited urinary improvement and sex-related side effects.
research In vitro selective inhibition of human UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) 1A4 by finasteride, and prediction of in vivo drug–drug interactions
