research Androgens in postmenopausal women
Testosterone in older women can increase bone density, muscle mass, fat mass, improve memory, and boost libido, but may cause nipple color changes.
research Ornithine decarboxylase is upregulated by the androgen receptor in skeletal muscle and regulates myoblast proliferation
Androgens increase muscle mass by promoting myoblast growth through ornithine decarboxylase.
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 Endocrine profile of the VCD-induced perimenopausal model rat
The rat model showed early perimenopause with regular cycles and low hormones, and late perimenopause with irregular cycles and higher hormone levels.
research A Qualitative Study to Explore the Impact of Hyperandrogenism among young female adults at selected colleges of Madurai
Hyperandrogenism causes significant physical and emotional challenges, needing better understanding and support.

research Defective Expression of the Gap Junction Protein Pannexin-1 Channel Contributes to the Formation of PCOS-Realted Androgenetic Alopecia
Higher levels of the protein Pannexin-1 may play a role in hair loss in women with PCOS.
research Serum Gelsolin Levels in PCOS-Related Androgenetic Alopecia
Women with PCOS and hair loss have lower levels of the protein gelsolin in their blood.
research Skin connective tissue and ageing
Menopause reduces skin collagen and elasticity, and while estrogen therapy can help, its risks require careful consideration.
research Improvement of endothelial function with metformin and rosiglitazone treatment in women with polycystic ovary syndrome
Metformin and rosiglitazone improve blood vessel function in women with PCOS, with metformin also reducing insulin resistance and testosterone levels.
research The diagnosis of nonclassic congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency, based on serum basal or post-ACTH stimulation 17-hydroxyprogesterone, can lead to false-positive diagnosis
Using 17-hydroxyprogesterone levels to diagnose nonclassic congenital adrenal hyperplasia can result in many incorrect diagnoses.
research Adrenal 21-hydroxylase gene mutations in Slovenian hyperandrogenic women: evaluation of corticotrophin stimulation and HLA polymorphisms in screening for carrier status
The study concluded that testing hormone levels after stimulation is not reliable for identifying carriers of 21-hydroxylase deficiency; genetic testing is necessary.
research Male Pattern Baldness in Relation to Prostate Cancer–Specific Mortality: A Prospective Analysis in the NHANES I Epidemiologic Follow-up Study
Men with male pattern baldness have a higher risk of dying from prostate cancer.
research Deslorelin treatment of hyperoestrogenism in neutered ferrets (Mustela putorius furo): a case report
Deslorelin effectively treats hair loss in neutered ferrets by reducing hormone levels.
research A decade of progress in androgenetic alopecia management: Emerging therapies and multimodal strategies
Androgenetic alopecia treatments are becoming more personalized and include new therapies like topical antiandrogens and regenerative strategies.
research Parenteral and Oral Cyproterone Acetate Treatment in Severe Hirsutism
Cyproterone acetate implants were more effective at reducing facial hair and improving skin in severe hirsutism than oral treatment.
research Testosterone therapy for transgender men
Testosterone therapy in transgender men has both desired effects like increased muscle mass and potential health risks such as higher cardiovascular risk.
research Short-term combined treatment with liraglutide and metformin leads to significant weight loss in obese women with polycystic ovary syndrome and previous poor response to metformin
Combining liraglutide and metformin helps obese women with PCOS who didn't lose weight on metformin alone to lose more weight.
research PHYSIOLOGIC SKIN CHANGES ASSOCIATED WITH PREGNANCY
Pregnancy often causes skin changes like darkening, stretch marks, and hair growth, which may improve after childbirth.
research Sex steroid synthesis in human skin in situ: The roles of aromatase and steroidogenic acute regulatory protein in the homeostasis of human skin
Human skin produces sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone, influenced by ARO and StAR, which may affect skin elasticity and hair growth.
research What may be the markers of the male equivalent of polycystic ovary syndrome?
Some men with early hair loss may have a condition similar to PCOS in women.
research Intravaginal Testosterone Improves Sexual Satisfaction and Vaginal Symptoms Associated With Aromatase Inhibitors
