research Increased frequency of the DI genotype of the angiotensin-I converting enzyme and association of the II genotype with insulin resistance in polycystic ovary syndrome
The study suggests certain ACE gene variations are more common in women with PCOS and may be linked to increased insulin resistance.
research The Use of Trilostane for the Treatment of Alopecia X in Alaskan Malamutes
Trilostane effectively treated hair loss in Alaskan Malamutes with no adverse effects.
research Hyperandrogenism in Adolescent Girls
The conclusion is that a thorough approach is needed to diagnose and manage hyperandrogenism in teenage girls, recognizing its major psychological and health effects.
research Alopecia areata – hyperactivity of the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis is a myth?
The study found no significant difference in stress hormone levels between people with alopecia areata and healthy individuals, suggesting that the disease is not caused by an overactive stress response system.
research Comparison of Endocrine and Metabolic Profile of Obese and Lean PCOS Women with Infertility
Obese and lean women with PCOS have different symptoms and need different treatments.
research Association of Ferritin and Vitamin-D (Calciferol) Deficiency with Female Pattern Hair Loss
Low vitamin D and ferritin levels are linked to female hair loss.
research The Nuclear Vitamin D Receptor: Biological and Molecular Regulatory Properties Revealed
The vitamin D receptor is crucial for bone health and affects various body systems, with mutations potentially leading to disease.
research Different Levels of 5α-Reductase Type I and II, Aromatase, and Androgen Receptor in Hair Follicles of Women and Men with Androgenetic Alopecia
People with hair loss have more androgen receptors and enzymes in certain follicles, with men and women showing different patterns.
research Vitamin D receptor: molecular signaling and actions of nutritional ligands in disease prevention
Vitamin D receptor interacts with certain dietary components to help prevent diseases and regulate hair growth.
research Use of cyproterone acetate (CPA) in the treatment of acne, hirsutism and virilism
Cyproterone acetate is effective for acne but less so for hirsutism and alopecia, with some side effects and quick menstrual cycle recovery after treatment.
research Pathobiology of chemotherapy-induced hair loss
Chemotherapy causes hair loss by damaging hair follicles and stem cells, with more research needed for prevention and treatment.
research Androgen Receptor Antagonists (Antiandrogens) Structure-Activity Relationships
Antiandrogens like flutamide are effective in treating conditions like prostate cancer and hair loss, but there's a need for more potent versions. Understanding their structure can help develop better treatments.
research Androgen‐inducible TGF‐β1 from balding dermal papilla cells inhibits epithelial cell growth: a clue to understanding paradoxical effects of androgen on human hair growth
Androgens may cause hair loss by increasing TGF-beta1 from scalp cells, which inhibits hair cell growth.
research The effects of oestrogens on linear bone growth
Oestrogens are key for bone growth during puberty in both boys and girls.
research Keratin 17 modulates hair follicle cycling in a TNFα-dependent fashion
Keratin 17 is crucial for normal hair growth by regulating hair cycle transitions with TNFα.
research Effects of Flutamide and Finasteride on Rat Testicular Descent
Androgens, like testosterone, are crucial for early testicular descent in rats.
research Molecular basis of androgenetic alopecia: From androgen to paracrine mediators through dermal papilla
Male pattern baldness involves hormones and cell signals affecting hair growth.
research Increased androgen bioavailability is associated with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in women with polycystic ovary syndrome
Women with PCOS and higher androgen levels are more likely to have fatty liver disease.
research Prevalence of hyperandrogenemia in the polycystic ovary syndrome diagnosed by the National Institutes of Health 1990 criteria
Most women with PCOS have high levels of male hormones, and free testosterone is the best marker for this.
research Extracellular vesicles derived from MSCs activates dermal papilla cell in vitro and promotes hair follicle conversion from telogen to anagen in mice
Tiny particles from stem cells help activate hair growth cells and encourage hair growth in mice without being toxic.
research Androgen receptor–mediated inhibition of cutaneous wound healing
Lowering testosterone speeds up wound healing in male mice.
research Cloning of a Functional Vitamin D Receptor from the Lamprey (Petromyzon marinus), an Ancient Vertebrate Lacking a Calcified Skeleton and Teeth
Lampreys have a functional vitamin D receptor that may help detoxify harmful substances.
research Prevalence of Type II diabetes mellitus and insulin resistance in parents of women with polycystic ovary syndrome
Parents of women with PCOS have a higher risk of Type II diabetes and insulin resistance, especially fathers.
research Immunohistochemical localization of types 1 and 2 5α-reductase in human scalp
The study found that two enzymes linked to hair loss are located in different parts of the scalp, supporting a common treatment's effectiveness.
research Androgen Replacement in Women: A Commentary
Testosterone replacement may help some postmenopausal women with symptoms like fatigue and low libido, but more research is needed to fully understand its effects.
research Prolactin and the Skin: A Dermatological Perspective on an Ancient Pleiotropic Peptide Hormone
Prolactin affects hair growth and skin conditions, and could be a target for new skin disease treatments.
