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 Azasteroids as inhibitors of testosterone 5α-reductase in mammalian skin
Certain 4-azasteroids are effective at blocking the enzyme that processes testosterone in human skin and could help treat acne, excessive hair growth, and male pattern baldness.
research The effect of St. John’s wort on the pharmacokinetics, metabolism and biliary excretion of finasteride and its metabolites in healthy men
St. John's wort increases finasteride metabolism, reducing its effectiveness; use caution when combining them.
research Understanding and Addressing Hair Disorders in Transgender Individuals
Hormone therapy affects hair growth in transgender individuals, with testosterone potentially causing hair loss in trans men and estrogen reducing facial/body hair in trans women; treatment options vary.
research Cardiovascular risk factors and events in women with androgen excess
Women with androgen excess, especially those with PCOS, have a much higher risk of heart disease and stroke.
research Does a male polycystic ovarian syndrome equivalent exist?
Early onset baldness in men may indicate a condition similar to PCOS, linked to heart disease, diabetes, and prostate issues.
research Decreased Alcohol Consumption Among Former Male Users of Finasteride with Persistent Sexual Side Effects: A Preliminary Report
Finasteride use may lead to less alcohol consumption in men with lasting sexual side effects.
research Cutaneous manifestations of metabolic diseases: uncommon presentations
Some skin problems can be signs of diabetes or other metabolic diseases and recognizing them can help diagnose and treat these diseases early.
research Adverse cutaneous reactions to chemotherapeutic agents and cytokine therapy
Chemotherapy and cytokine therapy can cause various skin reactions, including hair loss and hypersensitivity.
research Phenolsulphotransferase: localization in kidney during human embryonic and fetal development

research Rapid Intravenous Administration of Corticotropin as a Test of Adrenocortical Insufficiency
The rapid corticotropin test is a quick and simple way to diagnose adrenal insufficiency.
research 5α-Reductase inhibitors alter steroid metabolism and may contribute to insulin resistance, diabetes, metabolic syndrome and vascular disease: a medical hypothesis
Some hair loss and prostate drugs might increase the risk of diabetes and heart disease.
research Long-term detection of methyltestosterone (ab-) use by a yeast transactivation system
A yeast-based test can detect the steroid methyltestosterone in urine longer than traditional methods.
research Female androgenetic alopecia: An update
Hair loss in women can be slowed with treatment, but more research needed for better solutions.
research Repurposing steroidogenesis inhibitors for the therapy of neuropsychiatric disorders: Promises and caveats
Drugs for hormone-related conditions might help treat mental disorders but could have serious side effects.
research Progestogens in menopausal hormone therapy
Progestogens are essential in menopausal hormone therapy to prevent uterine cancer and must be chosen carefully based on individual needs.
research Hyperandrogénie féminine
The document concludes that managing female hyperandrogenism requires a combination of identifying the cause, lifestyle changes, medication, and cosmetic treatments.
research Raising hairs
Stem cell treatments can potentially treat baldness, with one trial showing hair growth after injecting a hair-stimulating complex, and no safety issues were reported.
research Minoxidil Sulfotransferase Enzyme (SULT1A1) genetic variants predicts response to oral minoxidil treatment for female pattern hair loss
Genetic variants affect minoxidil hair loss treatment success.
research Association of Alopecia Areata with Vitamin D and Calcium Levels: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
People with Alopecia Areata often have lower vitamin D levels, and vitamin D supplements might help treat it.
research Brain allopregnanolone induces marked scratching behaviour in diet-induced atopic dermatitis mouse model
A brain-produced steroid causes increased scratching in mice with a skin condition similar to eczema.
research Does Inhibition of Aldose Reductase Contribute to the Anti-Inflammatory Action of Setipiprant?
Setipiprant may reduce inflammation by blocking an enzyme called aldose reductase.
research FeCl3-catalysed C-N coupling reaction between cyclic ethers and heterocyclic amines
Iron chloride helps create compounds that could be useful in medicine, like treating hair loss.
research The eosinophilia-myalgia syndrome
Eosinophilia-myalgia syndrome, linked to contaminated L-tryptophan supplements, caused severe symptoms and some deaths, with long-term effects in survivors.
research Sights for Sore Eyes and Disappointments in Psychopharmacology
