research Sequential estrogen-progestin addition to gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist suppression for the chronic treatment of ovarian hyperandrogenism: a pilot study.
The treatment effectively reduced hair growth and was safe for patients with PCOS, but it needs better bleeding control.
research Effects of halogenated analogues of cortisol and progesterone upon hair growth in castrated mice.
Certain chemical changes to cortisol and progesterone can increase or decrease their ability to inhibit hair growth.
research Hyperandrogenic eumenorrheic NON-PCOS women versus women with PCOS after the GnRH-agonist stimulation test preceded by suppression of adrenal steroidogenesis with dexamethasone
PCOS women have more severe metabolic issues and higher androgen levels than hyperandrogenic women without PCOS.
research O-11 DIAGNOSTIC CHALLENGES IN POSTMENOPAUSAL HYPERANDROGENISM: REPORTS OF TWO CASES
Benign conditions can mimic serious ones in postmenopausal hyperandrogenism, requiring careful diagnosis.
research Finasteride inhibits the disease-modifying activity of progesterone in the hippocampus kindling model of epileptogenesis
Finasteride worsens seizures in epilepsy rats and speeds up epileptogenesis in mice.
research Steroid 17-Hydroxyprogesterone in Hair Is a Potential Long-Term Biomarker of Androgen Control in Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia due to 21-Hydroxylase Deficiency
Measuring 17-hydroxyprogesterone in hair can help monitor androgen levels in people with congenital adrenal hyperplasia.
research Synthesis and Pharmacological Evaluation of New Progesterone Esters as 5.ALPHA.-Reductase Inhibitors
Smaller substituents at C-17 enhance the inhibitory activity of progesterone derivatives on 5alpha-reductase.
research Effect of Neurosteroid Withdrawal on Hippocampal GABA‐A Receptor α4‐Subunit Expression in Female Mice
Neurosteroid withdrawal increases α4 subunit expression in the hippocampus, which may relate to catamenial epilepsy in women.
research Hyperandrogenemia in an ethnically heterogeneous cohort of Midwestern United States diabetic gestations
Exposure to fatty acids significantly increased androgen levels in female dogs, suggesting a link to conditions like insulin resistance and PCOS.
research Biological activity of novel progesterone derivatives having a bulky ester side chains at C-3
The more lipophilic the progesterone derivative, the better it binds to androgen receptors and has antiandrogenic effects.
research New Progesterone Esters as 5.ALPHA.-Reductase Inhibitors.
Some new progesterone derivatives are better at blocking testosterone conversion than a common drug.
research Differential Diagnosis of Hyperandrogenism in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
The conclusion is that accurately identifying the cause of high androgen levels in women with PCOS is crucial and requires specific tests.
research 7452 A Diagnostically Challenging Case of Hyperandrogenism in Postmenopausal Woman
The case highlights the complexity of diagnosing high testosterone in older women and the need for thorough testing.
research [Disorder of hair growth in hyperprolactinemia].
High prolactin levels can cause skin and hair symptoms similar to those caused by hormone imbalances.
research Apparent Cortisone Reductase Deficiency: A Rare Cause of Hyperandrogenemia and Hypercortisolism
Cortisone reductase deficiency can cause high androgen and cortisol levels and may be missed in women with similar symptoms.
research Androgenic and anti-androgenic effects of progesterone derivatives with different halogens as substituents at the C-6 position
Different halogens on progesterone derivatives can either block or mimic male hormone effects, depending on their type and amount.
research Postmenopausal hyperandrogenism of ovarian origin
Postmenopausal women with excess male hormones may have ovarian tumors, and surgery usually cures them.
research Steroid Cell Tumours: Rare Ovarian Tumours that Cause Hyperandrogenaemia in Postmenopausal Women
Rare ovarian tumors can cause increased male hormones in postmenopausal women; surgery is an effective treatment.
research SUN-117 A Rare Case of Virilization in a Postmenopausal Woman with Concurrent Hypercalcemia
A postmenopausal woman had rare symptoms due to a possible ovarian tumor, needing thorough evaluation.
research Hiperandrogenismo femenino
Female hyperandrogenism is a condition caused by too much male hormones, leading to skin issues and ovulation problems, often due to Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, and is treated based on individual symptoms.
research SUN-287 A Case of Ectopic Neurohypophysis
The patient with a misplaced pituitary gland and interrupted pituitary stalk is being treated with hormone replacement.
research Affect of a six months treatment regiment of metformin (MET) on 17-hydroxyprogesterone (17P) responses to GnRH agonist (GnRH Ag) in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
Metformin can start ovulation and may lower 17P response in PCOS, but six months is too short to improve hair growth or change body fat distribution.
research Inhibitory influence of agmatine on catamenial-like seizure susceptibility in progesterone withdrawn female rats
Agmatine may help reduce seizures linked to hormone changes in female rats.
research [Cushing syndrome during pregnancy. New diagnostic methods used in 3 cases of adrenal cortex carcinoma].
Early detection of Cushing's syndrome during pregnancy is crucial to prevent severe complications.
research PMON319 A Pure Androgen Secreting Adrenal - Cortical Tumor in a 13 Year Old Female
A 13-year-old girl's masculine symptoms improved after surgery for a rare adrenal tumor that produced male hormones.
research AN ATTEMPT TO ASSESS THE MAGNITUDE OF ENDOGENOUS ANDROGEN PRODUCTION IN A CASE OF THE ADRENOGENITAL SYNDROME*
A 17-year-old female with adrenogenital syndrome produces very high levels of androgens, which prevent complete feminization despite high estrogen doses.
