930-960 / 1000+ resultsresearch Comment: GENETIC ANALYSIS OF 5 α REDUCTASE TYPE II ENZYME IN RELATION TO OXIDATIVE STRESS IN CASES OF ANDROGENETIC ALOPECIA IN A SAMPLE OF EGYPTIAN POPULATION
research The influence of low dose finasteride, a type II 5α-reductase inhibitor, on circulating neuroactive steroids
Low dose finasteride decreases certain steroids, possibly increasing depression risk.
research A prospective randomized trial comparing finasteride to spironolactone in the treatment of hirsute women.

research Suppression of mammary tumorigenesis in transgenic mice by the RXR-selective retinoid, LGD1069.
LGD1069 effectively prevents breast tumors in mice without toxicity.
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 In Silico Structure-Based Drug Design Approach To Evaluate Quercetin And Kaempferol As Dual Inhibitors Of Jak3 Kinase And 5-Alpha Reductase Type II with ADMET Profiling
Quercetin and kaempferol may be effective and safe natural treatments for hair loss.
research Spironolactone in the Treatment of Hirsutism
Spironolactone can reduce hair growth and testosterone in hirsutism, but is less effective than combined treatments.
research A New Heterozygous Variant of c.1225_1227delTTC (p.Phe409del) in Insulin Receptor Gene Associated with Severe Insulin Resistance and Hyperandrogenemia in an Adolescent Female with Type A Severe Insulin Resistance Syndrome
A specific gene variant is linked to severe insulin resistance and hormone imbalance in a teenage girl.

Neuroactive steroids affect cocaine's rewarding effects through the ς1 receptor.
research Retinol-binding protein 4, leptin, and insulin resistance in idiopathic hirsutism and hirsute women with polycystic ovary syndrome
Women with idiopathic hirsutism and PCOS have higher RBP4 levels, and PCOS is linked to greater insulin resistance; weight management may help both conditions.
research A novel regio-specific cyclosporin hydroxylase gene revealed through the genome mining of Pseudonocardia autotrophica
Scientists found a new gene in a bacterium that can modify an immunosuppressant drug, potentially helping to treat hair loss.
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 [Hirsutism].
Hirsutism is excessive male-pattern hair growth in women, often treated cosmetically or with hormone therapy if contraception is also desired.
research In Vitro Main Pathways of Steroid Action in Cultured Hair Follicle Cells: Vascular Approach
Steroids, particularly estrogens and 5α-reductase inhibitors, affect blood vessel-related hair growth processes in hair follicle cells.
research Isolation and HPLC Quantitative Determination of 5α-Reductase Inhibitors from Tectona grandis L.f. Leaf Extract
Teak leaf extract contains compounds that could help treat hair loss.
research Spironolactone treatment of porphyria cutanea tarda-associated hirsutism
Spironolactone helped reduce excessive facial hair in a woman with porphyria cutanea tarda.
research The Role of Hormones in Hidradenitis Suppurativa: A Systematic Review
Hormone imbalance is linked to Hidradenitis Suppurativa, a skin condition, and treatments like anti-androgenic therapy and metformin can help. It's also suggested to check patients for insulin resistance and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.
research The effect of topical finasteride in treatment of idiopathic hirsutism
research Reduction in the Free Androgen Index in Overweight Women After Sixty Days of a Low Glycemic Diet
A low-glycemic diet improved hormone levels and well-being in overweight women with high androgen levels.
research Metabolic Syndrome, Hepatic Steatosis and Testosterone: A Matter of Sex
Sex hormones affect liver fat and metabolic health differently in men and women.
research Improvement of Techniques of Synthesis of Finasteride
The new method for making Finasteride is cheaper and safer for large-scale production.
research Hirsutism: Diagnosis and Treatment
The document concludes that hirsutism can be managed with various treatments tailored to the individual, potentially improving quality of life.
research 5‐α reductase inhibitors and the risk of anaemia among men with benign prostatic hyperplasia: A population‐based cohort study
5α-reductase inhibitors do not increase anaemia risk compared to α-blockers in men with BPH.
research Note on Isocholesterol, Coprosterol and the Classification of the Sterols
Isocholesterol, initially questioned for its existence, was confirmed as a distinct sterol through experiments by Schulze and later Moreschi, who obtained it from wool fat. Its presence in the latex of South African rubber plants, containing 6% rubber and 70% resin, further supported its classification. Cohen's comparison of plant-derived isocholesterol with Schulze's original sample confirmed their identity, solidifying isocholesterol's status as a recognized sterol.
