research Acne-Associated Syndromes
Acne is linked to inflammation and insulin resistance, and is associated with various syndromes that require different treatments.
research Molecular basis of androgen action on human sexual desire
Testosterone significantly affects sexual desire in both men and women, but its impact on women is more complex and influenced by psychological factors.
research Pharmacological Options for Treatment of Hyperandrogenic Disorders
Different drugs can treat high male hormone levels in women, but they have various effects and some may harm a fetus.
research The involvement of androgens in human hair growth
Androgens play a key role in hair growth and disorders like baldness and excessive hairiness.
research Regulatory roles of androgens in cutaneous wound healing
Testosterone may slow down wound healing and increase inflammation.
research Vertex balding, plasma insulin-like growth factor 1, and insulin-like growth factor binding protein 3
Men with balding at age 45 had higher IGF-1 and lower IGFBP-3, suggesting these factors might be important in male pattern baldness.
research Vertex balding, plasma insulin-like growth factor 1, and insulin-like growth factor binding protein 3
Men with balding at age 45 had higher IGF-1 and lower IGFBP-3 levels, suggesting these factors might influence male pattern baldness.
research Molecular mechanisms of androgenetic alopecia
AGA causes hair loss by shrinking hair follicles due to DHT binding, and can be treated with finasteride and minoxidil.
research The Biological Actions of Dehydroepiandrosterone Involves Multiple Receptors
