research Comparison of finasteride versus spironolactone in the treatment of idiopathic hirsutism
Finasteride reduces hair growth better, but spironolactone has more side effects.
research Outcome of long-term treatment with the 5α-reductase inhibitor finasteride in idiopathic hirsutism: clinical and hormonal effects during a 1-year course of therapy and 1-year follow-up
Finasteride effectively reduces hair growth in women with idiopathic hirsutism, but requires careful contraception during treatment.
research Identifying novel strategies for treating human hair loss disorders: Cyclosporine A suppresses the Wnt inhibitor, SFRP1, in the dermal papilla of human scalp hair follicles
Cyclosporine A may help treat hair loss by blocking a protein that inhibits hair growth.
research Clinical Usefulness of Plasma Androstanediol Glucuronide Measurements in Women with Idiopathic Hirsutism*
Measuring androstanediol glucuronide in blood is useful for assessing and tracking treatment in women with excessive hair growth.
research Identification of Novel Mutations in Basic Hair Keratins hHb1 and hHb6 in Monilethrix: Implications for Protein Structure and Clinical Phenotype
New mutations in hair keratin genes can change hair structure and cause monilethrix, with nail issues more common in certain gene mutations.
research Identification of Key Pathways and Genes Related to the Development of Hair Follicle Cycle in Cashmere Goats
Twelve key genes may improve cashmere production by influencing hair follicle cycles.
research Use of cyproterone acetate, finasteride, and spironolactone to treat idiopathic hirsutism
