research Additive in vivo growth-inhibitory effects of flutamide and finasteride on androgen-sensitive Shionogi 115 carcinoma
Combining flutamide and finasteride can reduce prostate weight and tumor growth, potentially benefiting treatments needing optimal DHT inhibition.
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 Intracrinology and The Skin
DHEA stimulates skin oil glands and could help postmenopausal women, with potential for acne and excessive hair growth treatments.
research Oxidative Activity of the Type 2 Isozyme of 17β-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase (17β-HSD) Predominates in Human Sebaceous Glands
The enzyme 17β-HSD type 2 mainly performs oxidation in human sebaceous glands, which may help protect against acne.
research Hormonal acne: leading to a paradigm shift in the management of acne
The article concludes that hormonal therapy is an effective long-term acne treatment, even for those without hormonal imbalances.
research The 5 Alpha-Reductase Isozyme Family: A Review of Basic Biology and Their Role in Human Diseases
The document concludes that the 5 alpha-reductase enzymes are important in steroid metabolism and related to various human diseases, with inhibitors used to treat conditions like male pattern baldness and prostate issues.
research The Hair Follicle as an Estrogen Target and Source
Estrogens significantly influence hair growth by interacting with receptors in hair follicles and may help regulate the hair growth cycle.
research Acne: Hormonal concepts and therapy
Hormones, especially androgens, play a big role in acne, but most acne sufferers don't have a hormone disorder. Hormonal treatments, including birth control pills, can be very effective for women whose acne doesn't improve with regular treatments.
research Getting under the skin of hair aging: the impact of the hair follicle environment
Aging scalp skin contributes to hair aging and loss, and more research is needed to develop better hair loss treatments.
research Dihydrotestosterone induces p27 degradation via direct binding with SKP2 in ovarian and breast cancer
Dihydrotestosterone causes p27 protein breakdown in ovarian and breast cancer cells by binding with SKP2.
research Testosterone in Women: Measurement and Therapeutic Use
Testosterone therapy can modestly improve sexual function in menopausal women but should be used cautiously and is not recommended for routine measurement in sexual dysfunction or hirsutism.
research Anatomy and Function of the Skin
The skin is the largest organ, protecting the body, regulating temperature, and producing hormones.
research Revisiting hyper- and hypo-androgenism by tandem mass spectrometry
The document concludes that using LC-MS/MS for measuring androgens is more accurate than older methods, but it needs careful validation and standardized references to be most effective.
research Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase (17β -HSD3, 17β-HSD5, and 3α-HSD3) Inhibitors:Extragonadal Regulation of Intracellular Sex Steroid Hormone Levels
Certain inhibitors can potentially treat prostate cancer and other hormone-dependent conditions by controlling sex hormone levels in cells.
research Acne
Acne is a common skin condition linked to diet, hormones, and genetics, and early treatment can prevent scarring.

Testosterone therapy can safely and effectively treat symptoms like low libido and fatigue in women, especially after menopause.
research Androgenetic alopecia: a review
Male pattern baldness involves genetics, hormones, and needs better treatments.
research No evidence for the immunocompetence handicap hypothesis in male humans
Higher free testosterone levels in men are linked to a stronger immune response, not weaker.
research The Modulatable Stem Cell Niche: Tissue Interactions during Hair and Feather Follicle Regeneration
The document concludes that for hair and feather growth, it's better to target the environment around stem cells than the cells themselves.
research Molecular Genetic and Endocrine Mechanisms of Hair Growth
Hormones and their receptors, especially androgens, play a key role in hair growth and disorders like baldness.
research Sulfatase inhibitors: a patent review
The document concludes that research on sulfatase inhibitors should continue due to their potential in treating various diseases, despite some clinical trial failures.
