research Male androgenetic alopecia
DHT, a testosterone byproduct, causes male pattern baldness.
research Relations between sex hormone level and characters of hair and skin in healthy young men
Higher androgen levels do not cause baldness in men.
research Female Antiandrogens
Antiandrogens can treat female hormonal conditions, but environmental ones may harm reproductive health.
research Androgenic Alopecia: Cross-Talk Between Cell Signal Transduction Pathways
Hair loss in Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is due to altered cell sensitivity to hormones, not increased hormone levels. Hair growth periods shorten over time, causing hair to become thinner and shorter. This is linked to miscommunication between cell pathways in hair follicles. There's also a change in gene expression related to blood vessels and cell growth in balding hair follicles. The exact molecular causes of AGA are still unclear.
research Polycystic ovary syndrome [PCOS]: Comprehensive management in primary care
Primary care is key in managing PCOS, focusing on lifestyle changes and medications like birth control and metformin.
research Pharmacology of anabolic steroids
Anabolic steroids can build muscle and strength but have risks and need more research on their clinical benefits and side effects.
research Endocrine control of benign prostatic hyperplasia
Hormones and metabolism play a complex role in prostate enlargement, and more research is needed to improve diagnosis and treatment.
research The Evaluation and Treatment of Hirsute Women
Excessive body hair in women can be caused by various conditions and treated with medication like Diane® 35 or androgen blockers.
research DEFINING THE ROLE OF ABI1 GENE IN PROSTATE CANCER PROGRESSION AND TREATMENT RESISTANCE

research Postmenopausal Alopecia due to Ovarian Hyperandrogenemia Treated with Bilateral Salpingo-oophorectomy
Removing the ovaries can help treat hair loss caused by high androgen levels in postmenopausal women.
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 Production of 5α-Reduced Neurosteroids Is Developmentally Regulated and Shapes GABAAMiniature IPSCs in Lamina II of the Spinal Cord
Neurosteroids regulate synaptic inhibition in the spinal cord and may help manage spinal pain.
research MENSTRUAL DISORDERS IN ADOLESCENTS
The document concludes that early recognition and treatment of PCOS in adolescents is crucial for managing symptoms and long-term health risks.
research PCOS in adolescents
PCOS in teens is hard to diagnose, linked to genetics and lifestyle, and managed with weight loss and medication.
research Male gonadal function in coeliac disease: 2. Sex hormones.
Men with coeliac disease may have hormone imbalances that could affect sexual function, but these can improve with better gut health.
research Evidence for Masculinization of Adipokine Gene Expression in Visceral and Subcutaneous Adipose Tissue of Obese Women With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
Obese women with PCOS show a male-like pattern in certain fat tissue gene expressions.
research Chrousos syndrome: from molecular pathogenesis to therapeutic management
