People with PCNT mutations often develop severe insulin resistance and early-onset diabetes during childhood or adolescence.
research Profiling the Response of Human Hair Follicles to Ultraviolet Radiation
UVB radiation harms hair growth and health, causing cell death and other changes in human hair follicles.
research Effect of constant-release melatonin implants and prolonged exposure to a long day photoperiod on prolactin secretion and hair growth in mouflon (Ovis gmelini musimon)
Melatonin implants and long daylight hours alter the timing of hormone release and hair growth in mouflon sheep.
research The therapeutic use of androgens in women
Testosterone replacement may improve sexual desire and bone health in women with low androgen levels, but more research is needed on its long-term safety.
research Coronavirus and Obesity: Could Insulin Resistance Mediate the Severity of Covid-19 Infection?
Insulin resistance linked to obesity may increase COVID-19 severity.
research Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) and Other Androgen Excess–Related Conditions: Can Changes in Dietary Intake Make a Difference?
Dietary changes, including weight loss and a balanced diet, are important for managing PCOS, especially in overweight women.
research Hormonal treatment of acne vulgaris: an update
Hormonal treatments are effective for severe or persistent acne and should be used with other acne therapies, considering potential side effects.
research Influence of substance-P on cultured sebocytes
Substance P may worsen acne by increasing inflammation, but corticosteroids might help by reducing this effect.
research Steroid 5α-Reductase Inhibitors
New steroidal compounds could be effective for treating conditions related to 5α-reductase enzyme activity.
research Hidradenitis suppurativa/Acne inversa: an endocrine skin disorder?
Hidradenitis suppurativa may be related to hormones and patients often have metabolic disorders; more research is needed to understand this connection.
research Androgens and Antiandrogens
Male hormones, or androgens, affect women's health in areas like mood and bone density, and hormone replacement therapy using antiandrogenic progestogens can improve mood disorders and alertness in menopausal women.
research Ameliorative effects of rutin against metabolic, biochemical and hormonal disturbances in polycystic ovary syndrome in rats
Rutin may help treat symptoms of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in rats.
research Adult skin acute stress responses to short‐term environmental and internal aggression from exposome factors
Adult skin quickly reacts to short-term environmental and internal stress, leading to various skin issues and the need for protective measures.
research Side Effects of 5‐Alpha Reductase Inhibitors: A Comprehensive Review
5-alpha reductase inhibitors slightly increase the risk of sexual and mood side effects, and breast growth in men.
research Clinical and hormonal effects of the 5 alpha-reductase inhibitor finasteride in idiopathic hirsutism.
Finasteride reduces hair growth and is safe for women with excessive hair.
research Foot shock stress prolongs the telogen stage of the spontaneous hair cycle in a non‐depilated mouse model
Stress in mice delays hair growth and treatments blocking substance P can partly reverse this effect.
