research Prevalence of androgenic alopecia (AGA) in patients with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) and characterization of associated clinical and biochemical features
Hair loss is common in women with PCOS and is linked to symptoms like acne and excess hair but not to worse metabolic health.
research Endocrinological evaluation and hormonal therapy for women with difficult acne
Hormonal therapy is a good option for women with severe acne, especially when there's a chance of hormone imbalance.

Neurosteroids like neuro-estrogen and neuro-androgen are crucial for brain function and can improve cognition and protect against aging-related decline.
research Higher Levels of Steroidogenic Acute Regulatory Protein and Type I 3β-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase in the Scalp of Men with Androgenetic Alopecia
Men with baldness have higher levels of specific proteins, suggesting local hormone production may play a role in hair loss.
research Incidence of Increased Androgen Levels in Patients Suffering from Acne
Many acne patients have high androgen levels, which may lead to PCOD, but treatments like oral contraceptives and antiandrogens can help.

research Serum C-19 steroid sulphates in females with clinical hyperandrogenism
Women with hyperandrogenism have higher androgen levels and lower SHBG, which may contribute to conditions like excessive hair growth and early puberty.
research The Expressions of Androgen Receptors and Estrogen Receptors in Bald and Non-bald Area of Androgenic Alopecia
Hair loss in androgenic alopecia may be linked to increased local androgen activities, but not to estrogen levels.
research Idiopathic hirsutism: Is it really idiopathic or is it misnomer?
Idiopathic hirsutism might not be truly idiopathic but could be an early stage of hyperandrogenic disorders.
research Evidence-based approach to cutaneous hyperandrogenism in women
The conclusion is that oral contraceptives and antiandrogens can treat hirsutism and acne in women with cutaneous hyperandrogenism, but more research is needed for effective treatments, especially for hair loss.
research Nuclear and cytosol Androgen Receptor in Androgen Dependent Dermatoses in Female Patients
Nuclear AR levels give better insight into hormone effects in skin conditions.
research [Androgenetic alopecia].
Androgenetic alopecia, or hair loss, is influenced by hormones and genetics, and can be treated with medications like minoxidil, finasteride, or hormone therapy, with effectiveness evaluated after 6 months.
research The influence of non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA) on the ovarian production of androgens in a context of in vitro fertilisation (IVF) – preliminary results
High levels of fatty acids are linked to increased androgen production and inflammation in women with PCOS, which may affect IVF outcomes.
research The genetically programmed hair growth cycle and alopecia: what is there to know?
The document concludes that hair loss is complex, affects many people, has limited treatments, and requires more research on its causes and psychological impact.
research Immunohistochemical Evaluation of Androgen Receptor and Nerve Structure Density in Human Prepuce from Patients with Persistent Sexual Side Effects after Finasteride Use for Androgenetic Alopecia
Finasteride, a hair loss drug, may cause long-term sexual side effects due to changes in hormone receptor levels.
research In response to the letter to the editor by Soha Ghanian et al. re our publication “Shorter androgen receptor polyQ alleles protect against life-threatening COVID-19 disease in European males”
The authors maintain that shorter androgen receptor alleles may lead to milder COVID-19 by positively affecting the immune response, not due to changes in testosterone levels or activity.
research Pharmacological Options for Treatment of Hyperandrogenic Disorders
Different drugs can treat high male hormone levels in women, but they have various effects and some may harm a fetus.
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.
