research Lipoatrophy and severe metabolic disturbance in mice with fat-specific deletion of PPARγ
Mice lacking the PPARγ gene in their fat cells had almost no fat tissue, severe metabolic problems, and abnormal development of other fat-related tissues.
research The evaluation and management of hirsutism*1
Most women with excess hair growth have an underlying hormonal issue, often treated with medication and hair removal methods.
research A Hot New Twist to Hair Biology
Capsaicin, found in chili peppers, can slow down hair growth by affecting skin cells and hair follicles.
research Hair growth stimulated by conditioned medium of adipose-derived stem cells is enhanced by hypoxia: evidence of increased growth factor secretion
Low oxygen conditions increase the hair-growing effects of substances from fat-derived stem cells by boosting growth factor release.
research Pharmacology of different progestogens: the special case of drospirenone
Drospirenone is a unique progestin with anti-water retention and potential blood pressure benefits, used in birth control and hormone therapy.
research Large Scale Gene Expression Profiles of Regenerating Inner Ear Sensory Epithelia
Birds can regenerate inner ear cells using specific gene pathways, unlike mammals.
research The SAHA Syndrome
SAHA syndrome is a condition in women involving skin and hair issues, often related to hormonal imbalances, and is treated based on the underlying cause.
research Mechanisms of Disease: selective inhibition of 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 as a novel treatment for the metabolic syndrome
Blocking the enzyme 11β-HSD1 might help treat obesity and metabolic issues.
research Medical treatment of hirsutism
The conclusion is that the best initial treatment for hirsutism is usually oral contraceptives, with the addition of antiandrogens or insulin sensitizers if needed, and topical eflornithine or laser treatments as supplementary options.
research The Role of Oral Contraceptives in the Treatment of Hyperandrogenic Disorders
Oral contraceptives help treat hyperandrogenic disorders, improving symptoms like excessive hair and acne.
research Pre-receptor regulation of the androgen receptor
Two enzymes regulate androgen receptor activity, affecting treatments for androgen insufficiency and benign prostatic hyperplasia.
research Management of Hirsutism
Antiandrogens, particularly flutamide and CPA, are most effective for treating hirsutism, with long-term use needed for best results.
research Differential Expression of miR-93 and miR-21 in Granulosa Cells and Follicular Fluid of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Associating with Different Phenotypes
The study found that certain microRNAs are higher in the cells and lower in the fluid of women with a specific type of polycystic ovary syndrome, and one microRNA could potentially help diagnose the condition.
research Autotaxin-LPA signaling contributes to obesity-induced insulin resistance in muscle and impairs mitochondrial metabolism
Blocking the ATX-LPA pathway may improve insulin sensitivity and mitochondrial function in obesity.
research Ghrelin levels are suppressed and show a blunted response to oral glucose in women with polycystic ovary syndrome.
Women with PCOS have lower ghrelin levels and a weaker response to sugar, which might affect their feeling of fullness and lead to overeating.
research (Neuro-)endocrinology of epithelial hair follicle stem cells
Hormones and neuroendocrine factors control hair growth and color, and more research could lead to new hair treatment options.
research Protective effects of melatonin against metabolic and reproductive disturbances in polycystic ovary syndrome in rats
Melatonin may help treat PCOS symptoms in rats.
research Body composition changes and inhibition of fat development in vivo implicates androgen in regulation of stem cell lineage allocation
Androgen is important in controlling stem cell differentiation, reducing fat development, and increasing lean mass.
research Pharmacologic Therapy of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
The document concludes that treating PCOS requires a combination of drugs to manage reproductive and metabolic symptoms, with more research needed on combination therapies.
research Lack of androgen receptor transcriptional activity in human keratinocytes
Human keratinocytes do not naturally respond to androgens.
research Further Clinical Evidence for the Effect of IGF-1 on Hair Growth and Alopecia
IGF-1 may affect hair growth and loss, but more research is needed to confirm effective and safe treatments.
research Gene expression of type 2 17β hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase in scalp hairs of hirsute women
Hirsute women have lower type 2 17β-HSD enzyme levels, which improve with treatment.
research Hormonal therapies for acne
Hormonal treatments can improve acne, but they come with potential side effects and risks.
research Polycystic ovary syndrome and risks for COVID-19 infection: A comprehensive review

research Testosterone Reduces Knee Passive Range of Motion and Expression of Relaxin Receptor Isoforms via 5α-Dihydrotestosterone and Androgen Receptor Binding
Testosterone reduces knee flexibility by affecting relaxin receptors.
research Diet and acne
Diet changes can help reduce acne by limiting certain hormones.
research Cow placenta extract promotes murine hair growth through enhancing the insulin - like growth factor-1
Cow placenta extract may help hair grow by increasing a growth factor but is less effective than minoxidil.
research Pharmacologic Treatment of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
The document concludes that various drugs can manage symptoms and metabolic issues in women with PCOS.
