180-210 / 1000+ resultsresearch Hair cortisol concentrations in mental disorders: A systematic review
People with depression often have higher hair cortisol levels, while those with PTSD tend to have lower levels, but more research is needed to understand this fully.
research Steroid Sulfatase Deficiency and Androgen Activation Before and After Puberty
In STSD patients, the body compensates for low androgen levels by increasing another enzyme's activity.
research Hair cortisol in drug-naïve first-episode individuals with psychosis
First-episode psychosis patients have higher hair cortisol levels, indicating early stress response issues.
research Hair glucocorticoid levels in Parkinson’s disease
People with Parkinson's disease have higher levels of cortisone in their hair, which may indicate chronic stress hormone dysfunction.
research The profile of steroid hormones in human fetal and adult ovaries
Fetal ovaries produce different hormones than adult ovaries, and endocrine-disrupting chemicals may affect this process.
research Proopiomelanocortin (POMC) and Psychodermatology
Psychological stress can worsen skin conditions like psoriasis and acne.
research Polyamine Oxidase Expression Is Downregulated by 17β-Estradiol via Estrogen Receptor 2 in Human MCF-7 Breast Cancer Cells
17β-estradiol lowers polyamine oxidase levels in breast cancer cells through estrogen receptor 2.
research Anorexia nervosa and reproduction: connecting brain to gonads
Anorexia nervosa can harm fertility and increase pregnancy risks.
research Microglia: sculptors of the polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)-like brain?
Microglia, the brain's immune cells, may contribute to Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) by altering the female brain's structure and function, with kisspeptin neurons and GABA neurotransmitters also playing a role.
research Serum and hair steroid profiles and their associations with body composition in adolescence
Hair steroid profiling is a feasible, non-invasive alternative to serum analysis for assessing hormone levels and metabolism.
research A review of hyperandrogenism state in polycystic ovarian syndrome
Polycystic ovary syndrome causes high male hormone levels, leading to symptoms like excess hair, acne, and fertility problems.
research Neuroendocrine, Neurotransmitter, and Gut Microbiota Imbalance Contributing to Potential Psychiatric Disorder Prevalence in PCOS
PCOS may increase the risk of mental health issues like depression and anxiety.
research Cutaneous neuroimmunology – lessons from the hair follicle
Stress and certain chemicals affect hair growth by interacting with the immune and nervous systems.
research Consequences of Anabolic-Androgenic Steroid Abuse in Males; Sexual and Reproductive Perspective
Using anabolic-androgenic steroids can harm men's reproductive health and increase the risk of heart problems and death.
