Leptin may play a role in hair growth and hair follicle health.
research Local Actions of Thyrotropin-Releasing Hormone Regulate Hair Color
TRH in hair follicles can influence hair color by increasing melanin.
research Hormonal control of pelage cycles in the short tailed weasel (Mustela erminea bangsi)
The pituitary gland controls seasonal fur color changes in weasels.
research A New Role of Non-Sex Hormone in the Pathogenesis of Female Pattern Hair Loss
Elevated luteinizing hormone contributes to female-pattern hair loss, and blocking certain channels may help prevent it.
research Topically applied thyroid hormones stimulate hair growth in organ-cultured human scalp skin
Applying thyroid hormones to the scalp can help hair grow.
research Puberty in Boys: Correlation of Plasma Levels of Gonadotropins (LH, FSH), Androgens (Testosterone, Androstenedione, Dehydroepiandrosterone and Its Sulfate), Estrogens (Estrone and Estradiol) and Progestins (Progesterone and 17-Hydroxyprogesterone)
Hormone levels change during puberty, leading to physical developments like pubic hair and voice changes.
research Endocrine Aspects of Female Sexual Dysfunction
Hormones like estrogen, testosterone, progesterone, and prolactin play complex roles in female sexual function, with testosterone potentially improving sexual desire, arousal, and satisfaction. However, more research is needed to establish safe and effective hormone treatments for female sexual dysfunction.
research The Endocrine Control of the Hair Follicle
research Early Baldness in Males and Hormonal Changes
Young men with early baldness may have lower Luteinizing Hormone levels due to higher dihydrotestosterone, possibly from certain drugs or gland disorders.
research 805 Topical thyroid hormones promote hair follicle and epithelial hair follicle stem cell growth in intact human scalp skin ex vivo
Topical thyroid hormones may boost hair growth.
research 1 The regulatory biology of the human pilosebaceous unit
Scientists now better understand how human hair growth is controlled, including the roles of specific genes and proteins.
research If women just had their hormones back the way they were! (for youthful feeling-balance your hormones!)
Balancing hormones can help women feel youthful and healthy.
research 212 DISTURBANCES OF REPRODUCTIVE FUNCTION IN WOMEN WITH PITUITARY ADENOMA

Middle-aged men with unusual hot flashes should be checked for pituitary tumors.
research The Hair Follicle: A Paradoxical Androgen Target Organ
Androgens can both promote and prevent hair growth due to differences in gene expression in hair follicles.
research Steroid Hormones
Steroid hormones are crucial for body functions and have various medical uses, but their misuse can lead to dependence.
