Growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) boosts hair growth and human scalp hair follicles have their own growth hormone system.
research CHRONIC TREATMENT REGIMENS FOR HIRSUTISM IN WOMEN: EFFECT ON BLOOD PRODUCTION RATES OF TESTOSTERONE AND ON HAIR GROWTH
Combination therapy significantly reduces testosterone and moderately reduces hair growth in women with hirsutism.
research Gonadotrophin-releasing hormone agonist therapy for hirsutism is as effective as high dose cyproterone acetate but results in a longer remission
Hormone therapy for excessive hair growth is as good with GnRHa as with high-dose CPA, but GnRHa has longer-lasting results.
research The AhR pathway is dysregulated in alopecia areata
Targeting the AhR pathway may help treat alopecia areata.
research 0877 Activated wound phenotype and microbial dysbiosis are driven by AhR suppression in hidradenitis suppurativa tunnels
Reduced AhR signaling in HS tunnels leads to persistent inflammation and microbial imbalance.
research Corticotropin-releasing hormone inhibits autophagy by suppressing PTEN to promote apoptosis in dermal papilla cells
CRH causes hair loss by reducing autophagy and increasing cell death in hair cells.

research Expression of Hypothalamic–Pituitary–Thyroid Axis RelatedGenes in the Human Skin
Thyroid-related genes are active in skin cells and may affect autoimmune conditions.
research Overexpression of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α in hidradenitis suppurativa: the link between deviated immunity and metabolism
Increased HIF-1α is linked to the inflammation and severity of hidradenitis suppurativa, suggesting treatments that lower HIF-1α could help.
research SAT-224 Polycystic Ovary Syndrome with Adrenal Hyperandrogenemia and Refractory Hirsutism
Glucocorticoid treatment lowered androgen levels but didn't improve hirsutism or ovulation and caused weight gain.
research WITHDRAWN: The association of hair cortisol concentrations with measures of adiposity in the Whitehall II study
research Corticotropin-releasing hormone inhibits autophagy by suppressing PTEN to promote apoptosis in dermal papilla cells
CRH causes hair loss by reducing cell survival in hair follicles.
research The effect of inhaled corticosteroids on hair cortisol
Measuring cortisol in hair can help assess adrenal function in asthmatic children using inhaled corticosteroids.
research Changes in Progesterone Metabolites in the Hippocampus Can Modulate Open Field and Forced Swim Test Behavior of Proestrous Rats
Lowering 3α,5α-THP in the hippocampus increases anxiety and depression in proestrous rats.
research Polyglandular autoimmune syndrome type 4 with GAD antibody and dystonia
Dystonia may be part of PAS-4 and linked to immune issues.

Blocking a specific enzyme can reduce the negative impact of stress hormones on hair growth cells.
research Androgen Dependence of Hirsutism, Acne, and Alopecia in Women
Hirsutism is more linked to high androgen levels than acne or hair loss, and a mix of hormonal tests is best for diagnosis; certain treatments can reduce symptoms.
