The research suggests Dutasteride and Solifenacin may be effective against the bacterium causing listeriosis.
research A 12-week treatment with the long-acting glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist liraglutide leads to significant weight loss in a subset of obese women with newly diagnosed polycystic ovary syndrome
Liraglutide caused significant weight loss in some obese women with PCOS, especially those with severe obesity and insulin resistance.
research Clinical pearls addressing hair growth and loss in transgender patients on hormone replacement therapy
Dermatologists should guide transgender patients on effective hair growth and loss treatments during hormone therapy.
research Effect of Cyproterone Acetate Orally on Hair Density and Diameter and Endocrine Factors in Women with Idiopathic Hirsutism
Cyproterone acetate temporarily reduces hair growth in women with idiopathic hirsutism but doesn't change hormone levels.
research Assessment, diagnosis and treatment of a patient with hirsutism
A combined drug and laser treatment improved hirsutism in a PCOS patient, also enhancing her heart health and requiring regular liver and kidney checks.
research Realising the therapeutic potential of neuroactive steroid modulators of the GABAA receptor
Neuroactive steroids show promise for treating mental and neurological disorders by targeting GABA_A receptors.
research Molecular mechanism of ligand recognition and activation of lysophosphatidic acid receptor LPAR6
LPAR6 has a unique way of binding and activating, which helps in designing treatments for hair loss and cancer.
research Idiopathic Hirsutism*
The document concludes that more research is needed to understand excessive hair growth in women with normal hormone levels and regular ovulation.
research Effects of dihydrotestosterone on osteoblast activity in curdlan-administered SKG mice and osteoprogenitor cells in patients with ankylosing spondylitis
DHT inhibition may increase spinal bone growth in ankylosing spondylitis.
research Endocrine intervention for transsexuals
Hormone treatment for transsexual individuals is effective but carries risks like thromboembolic events and mood changes, with most side effects being minor and reversible.
research Systematic review of low-level laser therapy for adult androgenic alopecia
Low-level laser therapy can stimulate hair growth more effectively than fake devices, but patient satisfaction is similar for both. Results should be taken with caution due to small study sizes and differences between studies. More research is needed.
