60-90 / 172 results research Simultaneous quantitation of nine hydroxy-androgens and their conjugates in human serum by stable isotope dilution liquid chromatography electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry
A new method accurately measures nine specific hormones in human blood.
research Low-Dose Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO) Suppresses Androgen Receptor (AR) and Its Splice Variant AR-V7 in Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer (CRPC) Cells
Low-dose DMSO may help treat castration-resistant prostate cancer by reducing key cancer cell receptors.
research Androgen insufficiency in women: diagnostic and therapeutic implications
Testosterone replacement can help women with low libido and mood, but they need to have enough estrogen first to avoid side effects.
research Androgens in cervical cancer: Their role in epidemiology and biology
Androgens increase cervical cancer risk and affect its development.
research Sex-Chromosome-Related Dimorphism in Steroidogenic Enzymes and Androgen Receptor in Response to Testosterone Treatment: An In Vitro Study on Human Primary Skeletal Muscle Cells
Chromosomal differences affect how muscle cells respond to testosterone.
research SRD5A2 and emerging therapies in androgen-driven disorders
research Expression of AR, 5αR1 and 5αR2 in bladder urothelial carcinoma and relationship to clinicopathological factors
Androgens may influence bladder cancer progression by affecting cellular behavior.
research A Comprehensive Review of Acne Vulgaris
Acne can't be cured but can be managed with treatments like benzoyl peroxide and diet changes; it's costly and can lead to scarring and mental health issues.
research Management of Sexual Dysfunction in Postmenopausal Breast Cancer Patients Taking Adjuvant Aromatase Inhibitor Therapy
Non-hormonal treatments should be used first for sexual dysfunction in postmenopausal breast cancer patients on aromatase inhibitors, with hormones as a second option.
research Gender Differences in Mouse Skin Morphology and Specific Effects of Sex Steroids and Dehydroepiandrosterone
Male and female mice have different skin thickness, and hormones affect their skin and hair growth differently.
research Roles of steroid receptors in the lung and COVID-19
Sex hormones may influence COVID-19 severity, with males at higher risk, and certain hormone therapies could potentially treat the virus.
research Is Dihydrotestosterone a Classic Hormone?
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) mainly affects nearby cells, doesn't significantly change prostate hormonal environment or cancer risk, and doesn't play a main role in causing hair loss or acne. More research is needed on its effects on heart health, sexual function, and bone health.
research Die Menopause und ihre Auswirkungen auf Haut und Haare
Menopause causes skin and hair to become drier and thinner, but hormone therapy can improve these conditions.
research Hair Follicle Pigmentation
Hair color is determined by melanin produced and transferred in hair follicles.
research Serum and hair steroid profiles and their associations with body composition in adolescence
Hair steroid profiling is a feasible, non-invasive alternative to serum analysis for assessing hormone levels and metabolism.
research Supraphysiological Dose of Testosterone Impairs the Expression and Distribution of Sex Steroid Receptors during Endometrial Receptivity Development in Female Sprague–Dawley Rats
High doses of testosterone disrupt hormone levels and receptor expression in the uterus, affecting fertility.
research Intracrinology and Testosterone Pellet Therapy: An Enzyme-Aware, Symptom-Driven Approach to Hormone Optimization in Aging
Testosterone pellet therapy may better address hormone imbalances in aging by focusing on local hormone production and symptom relief.
research Pharmacokinetics and Bioconversion of Dehydroepiandrosterone after Application of Dexamethasone in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Women with PCOS have higher 5alpha-reductase activity, affecting steroid levels.
research Expression and roles of steroidogenic acute regulatory (StAR) protein in ‘non-classical’, extra-adrenal and extra-gonadal cells and tissues
The protein StAR is found in 17 different organs and can affect hair loss and brain functions, but its full role is not yet fully understood.
research Melatonin and the hair follicle
Melatonin helps regulate hair growth and protects the hair follicle from stress.
research Androgenetic Alopecia and Risks of Overall and Aggressive Prostate Cancer: An Updated Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Men with male pattern baldness may have a slightly higher risk of prostate cancer.
research Testosterone alters iron metabolism and stimulates red blood cell production independently of dihydrotestosterone
Testosterone boosts red blood cell production and changes iron metabolism without needing dihydrotestosterone.
research Corticotropin-releasing hormone: An autocrine hormone that promotes lipogenesis in human sebocytes
CRH promotes fat production in skin cells, affecting conditions like acne.
research Effect of dihydrotestosterone on the upregulation of inflammatory cytokines in cultured sebocytes
Dihydrotestosterone increases certain inflammatory signals in skin cells, potentially contributing to acne.
research The Effect of Parathyroid Hormones on Hair Follicle Physiology: Implications for Treatment of Chemotherapy-Induced Alopecia
