research Women and epilepsy: Reproductive life and epilepsy
Antiepileptic drugs can cause cosmetic side effects and affect menstrual cycles, fertility, and bone health in women with epilepsy.
research Relationship Between Androgen Levels and Blood Pressure in Young Women With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
High androgen levels in young women with PCOS are linked to higher blood pressure.
research Androgens and human hair growth
Androgens can cause hair growth in some areas and hair loss on the scalp.
research Stem Cell Heterogeneity and Plasticity in Epithelia
Different types of stem cells exist within individual skin layers, and they can adapt to damage, transplantation, or tumor growth. These cells are regulated by their environment and genetic factors. Tumor growth is driven by expanding, genetically altered cells, not long-lived mutant stem cells. There's evidence of cancer stem cells in skin tumors. Other cells, bacteria, and genetic factors help maintain balance and contribute to disease progression. A method for growing mini organs from single cells has been developed.
research Neurosteroids, neuroactive steroids, and symptoms of affective disorders
Certain steroids in the brain affect mood and symptoms of depression, and treatments targeting these steroids show promise for improving these symptoms.
research Outcome of long-term treatment with the 5α-reductase inhibitor finasteride in idiopathic hirsutism: clinical and hormonal effects during a 1-year course of therapy and 1-year follow-up
Finasteride effectively reduces hair growth in women with idiopathic hirsutism, but requires careful contraception during treatment.
research Management of Hirsutism
Antiandrogens, particularly flutamide and CPA, are most effective for treating hirsutism, with long-term use needed for best results.
research Prolactin delays hair regrowth in mice
Prolactin slows down hair growth in mice.
research Primary cicatricial alopecia: Recent advances in understanding and management
New understanding of the causes of primary cicatricial alopecia has led to better diagnosis and potential new treatments.
research An observational retrospective evaluation of 79 young men with long-term adverse effects after use of finasteride against androgenetic alopecia
Finasteride caused long-term sexual and non-sexual side effects in young men with hair loss.
research Functional hair follicle regeneration: an updated review
Hair follicle regeneration possible, more research needed.
research Men with Kennedy disease have a reduced risk of androgenetic alopecia
Men with Kennedy disease have less chance of hair loss.
research Body composition changes and inhibition of fat development in vivo implicates androgen in regulation of stem cell lineage allocation
Androgen is important in controlling stem cell differentiation, reducing fat development, and increasing lean mass.
research Curcuma aeruginosa, a novel botanically derived 5α-reductase inhibitor in the treatment of male-pattern baldness: a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study
Curcuma aeruginosa extract combined with minoxidil effectively treats male-pattern baldness.
research Controversies Regarding Transdermal Androgen Therapy in Postmenopausal Women
Testosterone therapy may slightly improve sexual function in postmenopausal women, but its long-term safety is unknown.
research The clinical management of hirsutism
The document concludes that managing hirsutism involves identifying the cause, using a scoring system for severity, combining cosmetic and medical treatments, encouraging weight loss, and providing psychological support, while noting the need for more research on drug treatments.
research Cardiometabolic profile of young women with hypoprolactinemia
Low prolactin in young women may increase heart and metabolism risks.
research Follicular Unit Transplantation
Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) can give great results and patient satisfaction when done carefully and by a skilled surgeon.
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 Anti-androgens for the treatment of hirsutism
Different anti-androgen medications can help treat excessive hair growth, but the right choice depends on accurate diagnosis.
research Thyroid antibodies in Hashimoto’s thyroiditis patients are positively associated with inflammation and multiple symptoms
Higher thyroid antibodies in Hashimoto's thyroiditis are linked to more inflammation and symptoms.
research Iron deficiency and hair loss: The jury is still out
More research is needed to determine if iron deficiency causes hair loss.
research Optimization of LC method for the determination of testosterone and epitestosterone in urine samples in view of biomedical studies and anti-doping research studies
Researchers developed a reliable method to measure testosterone and epitestosterone in urine for medical and anti-doping use.
research Migration Inhibitory Factor in Conditioned Medium from Human Umbilical Cord Blood-Derived Mesenchymal Stromal Cells Stimulates Hair Growth
Substance from human umbilical cord blood cells promotes hair growth.
research Estrogen-Dependent Ontogeny of Sex Differences in Somatostatin Neurons of the Hypothalamic Periventricular Nucleus*
Male rats have more somatostatin neurons than females due to testosterone converting to estrogen during early development.
research Synthesis and structure–activity studies of side-chain derivatized arylhydantoins for investigation as androgen receptor radioligands
The nature of the side chain in RU 58841 derivatives greatly affects its AR affinity, with the N-(iodopropenyl) derivative 13 showing the highest AR binding affinity, suggesting its potential for developing high-affinity radioiodinated AR radioligands.
research Antiandrogenic activities ofGlycyrrhiza glabrain male rats
Liquorice may reduce testosterone and affect male reproductive organs, potentially helping treat conditions like prostate cancer.
research The role of anemia and vitamin D levels in acute and chronic telogen effluvium
Low iron levels are a significant risk factor for hair loss, while high vitamin D levels might be a response to hair loss, not a cause.
research Steady-state pharmacokinetics of oral testosterone undecanoate with concomitant inhibition of 5α-reductase by finasteride
Finasteride doesn't affect oral testosterone undecanoate, and high DHT levels may cause acne, prostate issues, and hair loss.
